Wednesday Sketch Challenge #499

A card for the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge 499!

Yes another last minute entry for this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge. However this time it isn't because I was crafting at the last minute but because I am having camera issues!

I  hope you are doing well during these scary times. I have been spending a lot of time organizing--my craftroom, my home, my gardens basically my everything. I gives me a break from all the sadness.

On to why I was so late this week. I have had my Canon Rebel for over 10 years now, which means its more like 15--LOL! However out of the blue the shutter button stopped working. With everything that is going on right now I am somewhat limited to where I can take it to get it fixed. So I am using my phone which for card photography is a bit trickier. I hope you will  be patient with me while I work though my first world problem.

Stay safe!

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 498

A card for the MFT Wedneday Sketch Challenge 498!

I had a lot of fun with this week's sketch. Rather than create two separate circles I made one large circle and cut a smaller circle out from it and popped it up for dimension. I was inspired by Marieke Slaats hand drawn seagulls using this set, so I drew a few on my card too!





A closer look:

I also submitted this to the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: A Day At the Beach!

Thanks so much for stopping in with me today!

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch #497

This one is for the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge #497.

I used the MFT Stamps Over the Rainbow 6 x 6 paper pad for the blue polka dot background paper from the sketch. The cake was made from the brand new Piece of Cake Die-namics die. The rainbow layers of my white iced cake was also cut from the Over the Rainbow 6 x 6 paper pad. The icing was cut from Pixie Dust Sparkle Paper and the sentiment is from the MFT Stamps Bitty Birthday Wishes stamp set!

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 496

I used the MFT Stamps Baby Shark for the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 496!
It is so cute!

I used a some paper from the MFT Fun in the Sun 6" x 6" paper pad for my background. THe shark was cut from grey cardstock for the body, I lightly blended some darker grey around his fin and head for a bit of dimension. I struggled with his mouth--do I make it red and scary or pink and cute. I went with cute--LOL!

I finished is off with a few of the NEW Studio Katia Stormcloud pearls. I think I am becoming obsessed with these pearls like I was when I first saw sequins on cards!

I hope I brought a smile to you face.

Thanks for dropping by!

Tag You're It #84 and MFTWSC431

Happy Friday!

There is still time to play along with http://tagyoureitchallenge.blogspot.com/!
You Have until 9:00 am EST April 10th to link up your tags!

Tag You're It designer and resident coffee guru Erin Thiem chose the Theme for this challenge and she actually staged and took the photo!!

I used MFT Stamps Coffee Date and Coffee Break stamps.  This is such  a fun set because you can stamp the outlines and stamp the fill images in any colour you like. You can line them up perfectly or you can  artfully misalign them! I used the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch #431.

When you add a tag at Tag You`re It you can create a card, just as long as it has a tag on it somewhere, big or small!

MFTWSC #383 and Seize the Birthday

I never thought I would see the day that I would say the words "I am getting low on birthday cards!"
Well that day has come and time to start building my stash of birthday cards up again. Slipping in today with a card for the MFT Stamps Wednesday Sketch Challenge #383 and Seize the Birthday!

I started off by sponging some Abandoned Coral, Fosilized Amber and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide inks onto some Bristol Smooth cardstock and then cutting three MFT Stamps Big Balloons out, one in each colour. I made my own fishtail banner from MFT Stamps Blu Raspberry cardstock and then cut a zig zag square from white and adhered the balloons to the square. The sentiment from the MFT Stamps Gumball Greeting card kit was white embossed on black. A few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins to finish it off and done.

The Seize the Birthday challenge is anything goes this week!

Thank you for popping in!

MFTWSC #315

Popping in with a card for the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #315.

I haven't played along in a long time but it was so fun to make something just because I felt like it. My little snow dude looks like he is tobogganing off into the sky but I guess that is the dare devil in him--lol!

Detail, Wink of Stella on his goggles and a definite signal that I need to get my new eyeglass prescription because the colouring was all inside the lines before I took the photo--lol!

I am also submitting this to the Simon Says Work is Wednesday December Challenge where we are to make something new with some thing new--new stamps and dies!
