Spring Hedgehogs~ CGI Sketch Time

Good Day!

Here in Alaska where I live we've got some blustery winds blowing today,
so maybe it will warm up and
melt more of the snow that we still have hanging around.

I'm still doing therapy for my ankle, it's getting better
but going downstairs is the hardest part so 

I just take it slow and easy.....
for an active person it really is a pain in the patooie.

Okay so how about the card for the challenge that we have
going on for Come and Get It

Judy is our hostess this week, come check out the fun cards!

I've have some adorable Penny Black stamps that are kind of small and
they worked perfectly for this weeks challenge so use the sketch,
below and come play along!

Another Sketch Challenge

Well I wanted to give it another try making a regular size card using the sketch at Come and Get It......this time I went rummaging through my pink and black scrap drawers to make up this card.  The image was already stamped and colored, so it was easy peasy to put together!

Easter Blessings

Well I had a wonderful time at the Scrapbooking Retreat that I went to, which I taught a class on both days.  The Ladies enjoyed the Wallet Photo Book so well they were asking if I was coming back for the next retreat to teach another class in October...........Here's my cards for Easter, I pulled out some Penny Black images for these and the the sentiment is from Stampin'Up!

I used the nestabilities for my shape and put the card stock in a SU embossing folder, using a dauber to distress the edges.  I submitting my cards to Crafty Pad for Spring, and Creative Belli for Eggs/Bunnies

Hanging Ornament Card

This is a challenge card that I made for a  Inkyfunstampers Yahoo groups......I started out with the SU ornament punch, punch 3 in designer paper and glued back to back inserting ribbon for hanging.  Then I took my card stock cut 4 1/2 inches by 10 and folded in half, next I picked out a nestibilities laying it on the edge of the card stock that is folded in half to run thru the Cuttlebug.  Now I have my opening for the hanging ornament........stamp greenery on card if desired, I also stamped, colored & cut-out a kitty hanging on some branches with small round ornaments. Now attach  hanging ornament & designer paper for background of card window and stamp your sentiment.  This fun trying to figure out because they gave no instructions or measurements!
