All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge


Hello, My card for today was made for the ATSDTC57. The Challenge was to make a card using no dp (designer paper). I love my dp so i figured this would be a great challenge to try. I had so much fun that i think i ended up making 3 cards this week with no dp. Now for my card i used this adorable little bee from the Bugg-A-Boos digi set from C.C.Designs. The sentiment is from the Itzie Inkies Bear Hugs set also from C.C.Designs. Well that's it for today, Thanks so much for visiting i love when your do. Have a Wonderful Day!! :0)

Flutterby Wednesday #67


This week's flutterby challenge over at Danni's Dreams was to make a scene using little or no Dp. Now i really liked this challenge because i'm more of a " if the image doesn't have a scene in it, it ain't getting one from me" person. I even have scene sets and i think this is the first time they've really been put to use. this challenge was a lot of fun so i think i will try to make my own scenes a little more often. The second half of the challenge was little or no Dp. now when i first read the challenge i must have skipped over Little because i thought it was just no Dp. boy, and i LOVE my dp. but all i can say is thank goodness for embossing folders.lol~ but these are the challenges i like because i tend to get in a rut, so the ones i think there is just no way i can do this, those are the ones i try to make myself do. so thanks Heather!! okay enought jibber jabber, onto the details. for my card i used all stamps from C.C.Designs. the sooo cute Swiss Pixie Gretel, my little birdie came from the sugarplums Olivia's Birdies set. The fence is from the Gingersnaps Spring thing set, and last but not least the little bits of grass is from the Sugarplum scenery set. To make my scene i stamped Gretel first and then stamped her again on a piece of scrap paper, cut her out, and placed her over my original image. then i stamped my fence over her, took the mask off my gretel and wahla. then i just added some clouds, pop dotted my birdie to the fence and added some small pieces of grass. i sponged my sky and grass with ink and a cotton ball to give them color, i matted my image to a square scallop nestability, placed it over my embossed panel that i made using the floral screen embossing folder, added some flowers and some prisma glitter to Gretel's wing and done!! Well, that's it for today, thanks so much for taking a peek. Have a Great Day!!

Mojo Monday #96





Hello again! :0) Today i'm showing my card i made for the Mojo Monday #96 sketch. I really liked this sketch when i saw it so i just had to play. I used another image from the Gingersnaps Bugg-A-Boos set from C.C. Designs. The minute i saw this cute little ladybug i knew i wanted to make a black and red polka dot background. i just matted my panels in red and cut a thinner black panel, punched holes in it with my hole punch and added to my red panel. so this card uses no dp whatsoever. which is a shocker for me cuz i LOVE dp!!! it's kind of hard to see but i colored her shell with the new Atyou lipstick red glitter pen. looks awesome IRL, so sparkly!! Well thats it for today, I hope you all enjoy your weekend. Have a great day!!

House Mouse Challenge #47


Hi There!! I'ts been a very long time since i've done a House Mouse challenge so i thought i'd give this one a try. This card is for House Mouse Challenge #47~white on white. The only thing we were able to color was the image, everything else must be white. Wow! i must say white on white makes cards look absolutely elegant, other than that I hate white!! together we spell disaster, it's a miracle i didn't spill anything or leave smudge marks anywhere while making this card. This was actually a true challenge for me. and i must say we both came out of it pretty well. lol~ I also wanted to mention that my dear friend Carolyn is celebrating her 1year Blogoversary and has some fabulous candy on her blog. you must go visit her. HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY CAROLYN!!! love ya girly!!! :0) Well that's it for me, Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!
hugs,
Rachel

Tilda


Good Morning! :0) Today i'm showing the top of a box i made for my daughter's birthday that held her gift. I cut out my circles with my nestabilities and stamped the tree stump from Whiff of Joy onto it and sponged my background. I colored and cut out my sweet sitting Tilda and pop dotted her to the stump, added my flowers and Happy Birthday sentiment and done. I used the Bella paper collection from CTMH and after i put it on my card i noticed one of the big flowers at the top left and looks like the sun with the rays coming down. so i thought that was kind of neat. That's it for today, thanks so much for coming by! Have a GREAT day!! :0)
