Just a little more time.

Good evening or really I should say good morning because it is now officially 1:58 am. What in the world am I doing up, posting one more card silly! I have to be up in the morning to get myself and four kids ready for church and here I am posting one more card before I turn in. I used CTMH silhouette paper and can you tell by the sentiment what stamp I have in my verve cart? Yeppers, I love that verse but since I don't have it yet I typed this one up on my computer and printed it out then I used my nestabilities to finish it off. Man, I am so in love with those things. I cut out the flower design from the paper and then intricately popped the leaves up with zots so that the stems to give it some dimension. Well, I gotta go turn my clock forward and go to bed. Gotta a long day ahead of me tomorrow and of course I'll be on SCS tomorrow night for the big verve release, won't you join me?

Good Night,
Kim

Stamp Tv sketch

Hello, here is is Sat already, another week come and gone. I can't believe how fast this month is going by. Anyway, I happened to be over on stamp TV, Gina K's new forum watching some videos and looking around and see that they too have challenges! Whoot Whoot, I think to myself more challenges that I can do instead of the piles of laundry that are in my basement or the dinner that could have been prepared an hour ago! Hee hee. This is the card that I made for the challenge. I used one of my two Gina K sets. I just love this little owl, he's sooo stinkin cute! I colored with my prismas and OMS and then I fun flocked him so he would be furry. That's all for now, enjoy!

Viva La Verve!

I gotta tell ya, it's about 11:00 pm here and I can barely keep my eyes open but I have so much to do tomorrow not to mention, the kids are all home so I thought I would share a card that I made tonight for the Viva La Verve sketch on SCS. The twist this week was to use and shade of Red, Pink, and Green so I immediately thought of my CTMH paper and stamp set, Beloved Blossoms. I first inked my stamp in Orchid Bouquet and then rolled it in Tulip. I added some red baubles although in the photograph they look pink and I also added glitter, cause everythings better with a little sparkle, right? I think so. This was a nice little sketch. Okay, I'm drifting into dream land real fast I'm sure only to see Ketto's flittering around. Don't know what I'm talkin about? See them here...I know you'll love em too!
Goodnight

SCS Bella Color Challenge

This is a card that I made for the SCS bellaholic color challenge. The challenge this week was to make a card using the color yellow. Again, not my norm so I had a little trouble getting this card together. I'm don't love this card but overall I'm fine with how it turned out. I do however think that the bella I used matches the look of this card perfectly so I have to say thanks to Jami for hookin me up with the stamped image! I colored her in with my prismas and OMS.

Mojo Monday

So as I promised in a previous post, here is the card I made for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Isn't she just adorable? I love doing these challenges because they really pull me out of my box when it comes to card design. It not even that I have a hard time coming up with a layout, it's that it takes me FOREVER to complete one. Now that I am just following a sketch it saves me so much time yet still allows me to be creative in my own way. I can used whatever stamps I want, color it however I would like, and add any embellishments that I have. Well, if you don't already know the big Verve release is this Sunday on SCS and for there will be up to 7 winners of a new verve set! Whoo Hoo, count me in! Also, today is the Bella release and I gotta say I'm a little over excited as I have been using so many bellas that I'm getting tired of the ones that I have. I used some old Creative Memories paper that I had for this card and I like the way it turned out. The colors are not my norm so I actually had to run to Michaels and get some ribbon to match. Not that I cared to run to Michaels, hee hee! I used a bella that I have had for a long time but I haven't used much and I colored her using my prismas and OMS. I also used my liquid glass to attach some baubles on the gift as shown in the close-up. I hope you all are having a very blessed day, thanks for stopping by!

Sounds of Spring

Here is a card that I made today for the SCS weekly card sketch challenge. I love the way this card came out. I got to use my SU set for the first time today, a little shout out to my friend Tonya, Thanks girl! Also, I used my aqua pen with my ink pads to color in the image. I sooooo love water coloring, have I already said this? Hee hee. Anyway, I have another card coming but I have to go to the store tonight and find ribbon to match! Don't you just hate it when that happens. ME too! Well, I'm off to find something to make for dinner, have a great night!

Spring is on the way

I made this card this morning for the Bellaholic sketch challenge on SCS. I used this great springy Bella hoping that she would bring me some warm weather here in Michigan! I am so tired of coats and cold and wet and yuck! I cannot wait to feel the warm sun on my skin, to sit by the pool, for there to be flowers in peoples front yards not snow piles or mud. Hope you all are having a wonderfully warm day today!

True Friends

This is a card that I made for the New Bellarific Friday challenge. I think this stamp is so stinkin cute and I've had it for awhile now but this is the first time that I've inked it up. Can you believe that, a stamp that I just had to have, not inked up yet? Hee hee. Anyway, she posted a beautiful picture for the challenge. This was as close as I could come. I'm wondering if anyone recognizes these little friends? Wink!!

Mojo Monday!

Whew, I was just in time to get in on the MojoMonday sketch challenge! Whoo Hoo! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this card sketch. I had so much fun making this card and I am very happy with the way it came out. Thanks so much for stoppin by and have a great evening!

Take a little time & Spring Flowers

I made these two cards for SCS. The first one is for the weekly Wed sketch challenge. I know it's very plain and normally I have a hard time making plain cards so I know Jami will be so proud of me for this one! I also made the second one for the Viva La Verve weekly challenge also found on SCS I used some of my scrap paper stash for these cards as my scraps are overtaking me, hee hee. I hope you like what I've been up to lately. Have a great Sunday!

Butterfly Blessings

I have been loving all the challenges that are going on lately. Have you participated in them? Where have I been for the past year, right? I am not sure but I have been making cards like crazy. I think the competitiveness is coming out in me with these challenges, hee hee. This is the card that I made for Our Creative Corner this week. Enjoy!

BellaHolic Sketch Challenge

Here is the card that I made for the Bellaholic sketch challenge on SCS this week. I was having a melt down because my trimmer was freakin out and cutting everything slightly crooked. It was only a hair off but non-the-less when you are layering it is so important to be right on. Anyway, I went out today and got the making memories heavy duty trimmer. I am still getting used to it and I'm not sure if I like it yet but it seems pretty nice. Anyway, I just love the new little turtle tots on the Bella site. I had the hardest time deciding which one to get but I went with this one and so here is my card! Have a great day!

Another two in one

So I mentioned in my earlier post that I am really getting into these challenges in fact today I tried the Bellarific Friday challenge which was a color challenge this week. I normally don't do color challenges but to my surprise I really liked doing this one. I was also really loving the sketch challenge that I missed from the OCC last week so in order to make the most out of my time today I combined them both! So what do ya think?

The OCC Challenge

Okay so I am really loving the challenges that are posted all over right, so I went ahead and participated in the OCC (Our Creative Corner) Challenge for this week which was "Add a Tag". You had to incorporate a tag somewhere on your card. I was already making this card for a very special person who's birthday is coming up soon ;o) so I thought that I'd go ahead and make it for this. I ended up feeling really good about the card. I was just what I was aiming for. I have added the badge on the right side of my page, feel free to play along. Have a great day!

Catching Up

So here it is the end of Feb already and I am just getting to sit down and make some cards! So the first one is the card that I actually made for my Christmas card this year. I cased it from our catalog because I loved it so much. I changed it up a bit to fit me a little better but the overall layout is the same. The funny thing is, I didn't even send them out because my life was so crazy that I never got around to writing my annual Christmas letter and addressing the envelopes so now they'll be ready for 2009.
The second card is for a baby shower that I recently went to. My wonderful friend Robyn is having a baby! In fact, I just got a text this morning that her water broke so when I say she is having a baby I mean she is having a baby right now! Hee hee. Anyway, I'm praying for you Robyn for a safe and easy delivery and a healthy baby! I love you! Okay so back to the card, I bought this paper a while ago at out local scrapbook store and this just seemed like the perfect time to use it. So there ya have it my first post in a loooonnngggg time. Hope you enjoy! Thanks
