Welcome Emerson, TSC0217

The Twisted Sister challenge this week was given by Carroll Anne. She challenged us to make a children's card, use an out of the box technique and use yellow. The little duck saved me on using yellow. My ribbon was too wide for the space on my card so I twisted it and tied the bow with a fork. I used tear drop circle spellbinders and colored the image with copics. I stamped the baby bottle and put a slit in the arm so it looks like the baby bunny is holding it.

This card is for a new baby boy at church.

Thanks, for stopping by to see what I made.

Challenges:
Card Crafter’s Circle - Use die cuts
Hotshot Craft blog - One for the boys
Crop Stop - Baby
If the Shoe fits - Try something new (out of the box)

CCEE and Twisted Sister challenge

I challenged the CCEE Stampers to make a card with your favorite sketch and add brads to dress it up. I failed my own challenge. I forgot the brads and added pearls. We would love for you to join the challenge and show us your favorite sketch. This also qualifies for the Twisted Sisters challenge this week, Sylvia challenged us to make a monochromatic card.

Thanks for dropping by and taking a look at my card.

Better late than never

I made this card for a little boy who had some extensive surgery before Christmas. I am red faced that it has taken me so long to get a card made for him. He loves playing ball so I thought this image was perfect for him. I don't have many little boys stamps so I found this cute pre-colored digi at Beccy's place.

It is winter again in our neck of the woods. I was getting use to that 60 degree weather. It really needs to get really cold a couple of times to kill all the germs and bugs. I could take a few cold days as long as it does not stay that way for weeks. Since mother nature has not ask what kind of weather that I want, I suppose I will just take what she chooses.

Thanks for stopping by. Come back soon.

Challenges:
Here Come The Boys - song title-Take me out to the ball game

I chose Porcelain blue for my color. The hearts are cut with spellbinders, I used the MS fence punch, buttons, thread, swiss dots embossing folder and tulle. Please drop by There's Magic in the Air. and join us for the challenge.

Graphic 45 cards

This card was made for the Twisted Sister challenge. Kathy gave us the challenge to use a circle on our card and to use black and one other color of our choice. I used the Graphic 45 stamp and paper for this card. I bet you can tell by this post, I sure like this paper. *smile*
I made this card for Terri aka Bratcards who was Queen for the day on Splitcoast stamping.
Did I tell you I am loving this loving the Graphic 45 paper which is new to my inventory. *grin again* I hope you are liking it, too.
I made this card for our pastor that is in the hospital. I enjoyed using the Tim Holtz old truck and the graphic 45 paper together. I had forgotten I had gotten this stamp set before Christmas. I suppose I was too busy making Christmas cards at that time so I didn't get a chance to use it. This is a different look for me, let me know what you think.

I entered this card in Here Come The Boys song title challenge. The name of the song is "The Pick Up Man".

CCEE-Snowman with Scallops

The challenge for the CCEE stampers was to make a card with a snowman and add scallops.
I chose this cute little snowman by Paper Cupcakes, the dp is Stampin' Up. We hope you will join us in the CCEE stampers challenge, you can upload your card at the CCEE Stampers blog.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Ground Hog Day. PUNXSUTAWNEY Phil was out playing today and he saw his shadow so they say that means we will have 6 more weeks of winter. It is not looking like winter here today, it is suppose to be in the 50's.

Thanks, for stopping by and taking a look at my card.
