Gift Bag & Card

Here is a little gift bag and card set that I made for Mother's Day. I used SU papers for all projects. I used SU papers and Sky White from Paper Temptress for this project. I used directions for the Genie bag from here.
This bag was Stamp & Smiles Project Tuesday Challenge.
I decorated the bag with some Pez A Blings and SU ribbon. This bag was so quick and easy to make. I love it. I will fill it with goodies for my mom for Mother's Day. I got the directions for the pocket card from my friend Nikki. You can go see her's here. On the card and bookmark I rubbed Androdink Paint Sunshine Yellow.

Thoughts

I am amazed that the hits to Katie & my blog are over 8000. I have plans for a large blog candy in Aug for celebrating my 1 yr bloganversary. For know, I have chosen two of my followers to receive some goodies from me. Joan and Theresa W email me so I can get the goodies to you. If I do not here by Monday May 11. I will pick another name. I will be collecting cards for the Soldiers soon. I have to catch up on some DT work so I may disappear for a bit. My family life is going to be crazy for the next few weeks with Katie's confirmation and 2 graduations and I have not done announcements yet. Thanks for taking the time to visit.

God Bless!

Pez A Doodle Day

I used Studio G Stamps for the flowers and the saying. I used a pale pink and it was hard to photograph because the card base is bright pink. I used scraps for all the papers. If you would like me to do a tutorial on how I got the squares to frame the card. I used a sketch from a new challenge called Unscripted Sketches.

Train page

Here is a page that I did for Erika's Scrapbooking challenge on Stamp TV.
This was last weeks sketch. I had fun making the texts boxes on my computer. I am slowly learning how to use Photoshop Elements. All paper is from my scrap bin.

Flower Page

I got a chance to craft today. I need to get a bunch of scrapbook pages done. I am trying to get ahead. I have 2 8x8 scrapbooks to complete by Christmas. My goal is to have 10 pages in each album. These are for my niece and nephew. I am using up extra photos that I printed for pages and decided not to use. The close up shows the flowers I stamped and colored with chalk on the page. The large photo show ths color better. I used Timeless Tuesday Challenge from Flourishes which was a sketch. The fun is actually fabric. I cut out with my big shot.

Colorful monkey

This card I made for a bunch of challenges. I used lots of color and glitter because I love color and glitter. The cherry I made using the one inch circle punch and the background is a bunch of circles punched out and placed randomly. Made By Katie

Cool Cat Pop Up Card

I got a chance to craft this morning. I completed three challenges with this pop up card. I used paper piercing on the ovals for Potluck Friday challenge on Stamp TV . I used Stamp & Smiles Project Tuesday Challenge to make a pop up card following these directions.. The last challenge is to use Cool Cat Digital image from Hambo on a project. The best part is that the Cool Cat image is free. Join me in this challenge by going to Hambo's blog to get the image and details of the challenge. I tried my hand at watercoloring using a water pen and Brilliance Inks. I like this type of coloring. It is overcast so my photos are dark. I wish you could see all the sparkle in this card. I stamped the sungalsses, flip flops, and sunglasses in Versamark and than clear emboseed on the base.
