A La Card Monkey #84

Here's our inspiration sketch from A La Card Monkey. Of course we can create a Christmas card but it is anything goes. Check out the awesome inspirational creations by clicking on the Monkey on my sidebar.

I chose to make a masculine Christmas card for my BIL.

The card is digital and I made an easel card and put some ornamental staples on with my fastenator (that I just had to have but it was on my table and I thought it looked kinda cool!)

Lasting Memories #66

COLOR ME HAPPY and me is happy! The inspiration photo has some very pretty colors and Lasting Memories gave us a sketch to use if we wanted to. I didn't use the sketch although I really like it.

Just look at those colors! WOW! Me is happy.

I used MDS (as if you didn't know! LOL!)

Stampin' Sisters in Christ #116

Stampin' Sisters in Christ is inspired by scripture and this week it is:
JOB 13:15"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him.”

Challenge:  Make a card of praise using music, stamp, or design paper, or just the word "praise."

I chose to post this before I made my card because the colors are so more brilliant before I took a pic with my camera. First I did make a digital card, Click on my sidebar (Stampin' Sisters in Christ) and check out the DT inspiration!

Shirley's Christmas Bloghop. week #3

Well, we're on week #3 of Shirley's Christmas bloghop. I got inspiration from a pic I saw on yahoo e-mail! It had a choo choo train carrying a Christmas tree and I thought that was pretty COOL!

Looky, Santa's controlling the train!

Paper Lovin' Gal's #7

IT'S THANKSGIVING DAY and Paper Lovin' Gals has this beautiful inspiration photo! http://paperlovingals.blogspot.com/

Here's my interpretation!

I chose to post it before I made it into a card because I love the colors and they always look better this way before I take a pic with my camera.

Oh, I forgot, it is digital!

Scrapbookers Anonymous "D"

It's all about the "D's" at Scrapbookers Anonymous! We're doing our ABC's and we are on the letter "D". I picked DRILL and I found a perfect Digi at Digi Darla's which I am proud to be on her DT! See I have alot of "D's" (Oh and by the way my name is Denise, so there's another "D"! This drill is so detailed (but all I know is it drills holes) Check out all the other digis at Digi Darla's. http://digidarla.com/

Anyhoo, I water marked a back ground pic in MDS, cut out my drill digis (which are very COOL! I might add) I also made a ruler with MDS (also very COOL!), cut my circle out with my cricut, added a hodgepodge metal label from SU, and I bought these brads that look like screws along time ago and forgot I had them! I used my fastenater that I had to have but didn't know how to use it! (I'm sure everyone has things like that!)

Lasting Memories #65

At Lasting Memories, they didn't have just 1 inspiration photo,THEY HAD 3! Couldn't decide so I used all 3. I saw blue and white and snow on the first one.

The second one, I saw the beautiful colors of a sunset and snow.

The 3rd one, I saw Wood, green, outdoorsy, and COLD.

A La Card Monkey #83

A La Card Monkey had an inspiration photo for this challenge. It could be any holiday you could imagine, I just chose my fav, Christmas!

http://paperlovingals.blogspot.com/

Well, I made quilled Thanksgiving napkin rings and you'll never guess what I used!

Yes, I used empty TOILET PAPER rolls! I covered them with metallic paper, quilled leaves on them and added some leaves I found at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

First I divided the rolls in 3 pieces. (TRYING TO SAVE MONEY, THESE ARE THE TICKET!)

Shirley's Christmas Bloghop. week #2

This so much fun, Shirley! I love Christmas! I made a card with my MDS digital software. The background paper was a border, I enlarged because this fit my card better!

SUO Challenge #32 Thankfulness

It's all about being thankful at SUO. Of course this is not the only thing to be thankful about but it's one.
I made a gate fold card with my MDS!
(remember only stampin' Up products)

Lasting Memories #64 Hidden Journaling

At Lasting memories it's all about Hidden Journaling! I made a LO with my digital software (SU) then I made a door. It's just like those flip flaps only different. LOL! I laminated my door and the redlined taped it to my sheet protector. (The only thing is I can never move my LO to another sheet protector, I can move it but I have to take the whole book apart.)

A La Card Monkey #82

A La Card Monkey challenged us to do an "Anything Goes" card using this sketch.

There are many reasons to make a card, I chose Christmas!

Of course I used MDS!

The theme for Flutterby this week is friendship with your butterfly, fairy, or angel.  I created mine with MDS of course then I redlined taped it to a card.

Paper Lovin' Gal's #4

I gotta tell you, I love these easel cards! This is such a Fun challenge blog!
                  http://paperlovingals.blogspot.com/
Here's the inspriration photo we used (isn't it purdy!) I like it cuz, you can enter anything you create! (provided it matches the inspiration. being a photo, sketch, color or...you get the picture!)

I made a twisted easel card. FUN! This card was so easy peasy.

Of course, I used MDS! (Easel cards amaze me cuz they fold flat for mailing, well not totally flat because you do have to use something pooped, OOPS I mean popped up!)

Shirley's Christmas Bloghop. week #1

I'm so excited Shirley is doing a Christmas bloghop, the Halloween-ie was so FUN! Thank you Shirley!  I made a water-fall card (just happened on the tutorial and I like it!) I used a stampset I've had for a couple of years and never used, I bet you can relate! It was so cute I had to have it! The designer paper is from SU, I printed it from MDS.

Stampin' Sisters in Christ #114

Stampin' Sisters in Christ is a challenge blog inspired by scripture and this week it is Genesis 3:6.

Scripture:  Genesis 3:6 “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.”

We had to use are oldest stamp sets. I used a couple of my oldest stamp sets and a couple of some very neglected stamps. This is 1st time I made a water fall card and I really like it!
