Inky Button - Ink Along With Me

SPRING has SPRUNG

Good Morning Sistahs!

I spent the better part of yesterday in a car traveling to Arizona.  Yeesh!  Today, I'm off to California.  But before I go, I wanted to share today's card with you.  

I used 3 Step Butterflies to create today's single-layer card.  Once I stamped the butterflies, I used my glue pen to add just a little extra glitter.  Oh, how I love glitter!

Recipe: Memento Inks
Step3 - Tangelo, Step 1 - Dandelion (stamped off), Step 2 - Cantaloupe
Step 3 - Grape Jelly, Step 1 - Lulu Lavender (stamped off), Step 2 - Lulu Lavender
Step 3 - Danube Blue, Step 1 - Summer Sky (stamped off), Step 2 - Summer Sky

Animal Crackers

Good Morning Sistahs!

It is almost time for spring break, and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am.  We're going to be going to Arizona and California to visit family. Yay!

For this week's card, I used another one of Lynn's Fabulous 10 Minute Challenge Cards.  I'm not sure how she comes up with all the quick ways to make cards, but she is certainly a Rock Star.  Here's my take on both her challenge and mine....

EP10 - Animal Crackers: Use ANIMALS on your project

 

I used Multi Step Ducks & Pigs.  According to Lynn's directions, I stamped the ducks on the card itself first.  I actually stamped step 4 first, then went back to the first step, which in this case made it a little bit easier.  Here's the recipe: Step 4 - Memento - Sahara Sand, Step 1 - Memento Dandelion (Stamped off), Step 2 - Memento Dandelion (Stamped off), Step 3 - Memento Dandelion.  Sentiment: Memento Danube Blue

Let's Hear it For the Boy!

Good Morning Sistahs!

Today's card is part of the Everything PLUS The Kitchen Sink Challenge.  If you haven't had the chance to make it over to the KSS Forum, you MUST!  Everyday there's a new challenge waiting to inspire you.  I was actually inspired by a few challenges.  

EP08 - Let's Hear it For the Boy! : The challenge is to make a card for a BOY. (Or any other young man in your life.)

FSCC02 - Connie's Sketch Challenge

KPC09 - Maki's Challenge was to use DP

I usually am very afraid of using DP, but lately I've been trying to give it a try.  What do you think?  I loved the fun "boy" colors of this paper, so I figured it would be worth a shot to try creating a birthday card with it.

I used the Multi Step Gift set to stamp the present.  I used Bermuda Bay for all the steps and stamped it off every time except for Step 4.  For the ribbon on the gift I used Memento Tangelo stamping off each step except for the final one.  The sentiment is part of the 3 Step Baseball set and was stamped in PTI's Dark Chocolate.

Almost Paradise

Good Morning Sistahs!

It's March. And in Colorado, that can only mean one thing....it's Blizzard season.  It's actually snowing right now...and I'm hoping it leaves us alone soon...although the forecast is predicting a mix of rain or snow for the next three days.  EGAD!  So, in light of our recent weather, this week's Everything PLUS the Kitchen Sink challenge calls for you to create a TROPICAL card.  You know, one of those fantastically warm cards that make you feel like you might be on the beach somewhere surrounded by hibiscus and plumeria.  Ahhh....

 Here's my creation for EP07 using Connies FAB Sketch FSCC09

I felt so brave using two different types of DP that didn't match.  EEK!  I know...so wild aren't I?  

I stamped the pineapples from 3-Step Aloha using the following recipe:
Step 1 - Barely Banana, Step 2 - Summer Sun, Step 3 - Close to Cocoa
Step 1 - Certainly Celery, Step 2 - Wild Wasabi, Step 3 - Garden Green
