Merry Christmas

Hello friends. It's time for another sketch challenge from My Favorite Things! I am coming in right on time again for the link up but phew... have I been busy! My friend and I had a table at a Holiday Boutique this past weekend and we have been crafting out little hearts out for weeks now.

I'm glad I was able to finally create with my new Pure Innocence stamp.

Here's this week's sketch

Here's my card

I found the paper stack at Target last night. It's Holiday by American Crafts. I loved the bright mix of holiday colors. It was perfect for the Pure Innocence Christmas Banner image.

Saturday Stamping on Monday

Hello friends. We had a busy weekend with Soccer Saturday kicking off for Lily. Our little soccer player is ready for a fun season. 

Here she is going after the ball during her first game.

I got a chance to fit in some crafting Saturday for this week's My Favorite Things Weekly Sketch Challenge but wasn't able to photograph my card til this morning.

Here's this week's Sketch

Here's my card

I had fun with this card. I stamped the image in Colorbox Ocean Pigment ink and then Stamped the same image over it in black and embossed it. I like how the shadow effect turned out.

There is still time to create and upload your take on this week's challenge.

Have a creative day!

Saturday Stamping

Hello friends. I hope you're enjoying the long weekend. 

I am getting crafty with my new MFT stamp set Witch Way is the Candy ( I can't stop using this set each week!) and creating for MFT's Weekly Sketch challenge.

Here's this week's sketch

Here's my take on the sketch

Supplies: MFT Stamp: Witch Way is Candy? Die-namics Bright Lights Alphabet. Solid cardstock and patterned paper My Mind's Eye Wicked. Recollections glitter tape, Copic Markers: YG11 & FYG2. Stickles: Crystal, Glossy accents. Martha Stewart border punch. Spellbinders circle, scalloped circle dies.

I had to re-take my photo since this is a night photo...I know, I'm such a perfectionist when it comes to photos...

For the letters, I added Glossy Accents over the top of them to make them stand out from the glitter tape. Then I was thinking, wouldn't it be cute to have a spider brad right over the froggie's head? I think I had one left from Eyelet Outlet's newest release. So fun!

There is still time to create with this week's sketch. Head on over to the MFT blog to add your card here.

Have a creative day!

Saturday Stamping

Hello friends. I'm spending my Saturday afternoon getting crafty with my new MFT stamp set Witch Way is the Candy and creating for MFT's Weekly Sketch challenge.

Here's this week's sketch

Here's my take on the sketch

Supplies: MFT Stamp: Witch Way is Candy? Cheesecloth Background stamp. Solid cardstock and patterned paper Anna Griffin Bat-tastic. Celebrate it! Ribbon, Copic Markers: W10, C1,C2 and Y38. Stickles: Crystal, Glossy accents. Misc: stars and glitter embellie

I tried my hand at shading the bat's wings with my Copic markers. I think they turned out pretty good but I would really like to take some Copic classes. Now that my kids are back in school as of this week I'll be looking forward to checking out some YouTube videos and learning some new techniques in the quiet of my own home. If you have some videos to suggest, please leave me a link in the comments. Thanks so much!

A little Night Owl crafting

Hello friends! Hooray for the weekend. I love these lazy Saturdays because that means that Friday evenings are perfect for a little Night Owl crafting!

I love to participate in My Favorite Things challenges. So last night I stopped by the blog to see what this week's sketch challenge was.

I was really inspired by Melody Rupple's sample of this week's sketch. She used molding paste with one of the new MFT stencils to create with. I had an "I have some of that stuff" moment and went digging into my closet.

I don't have any MFT stencils but I did purchase a Prima stencil last weekend at Custom Impressions last weekend so I used that to try this technique out with.

Here's how my first attempt at using the molding paste turned out.

for believing in me

I used MFT's Sending Thanks set for my sentiment. After looking through my stash of MFT stamps, I realized I need some smaller sentiments since I keep using the same set. I have several Pure Innocence sets but the sentiments didn't seem to fit the style of the card.

Here's a closer look at the detail. I love the way this turned out. I want to try using mists, copics and other ideas for adding color to the molding paste.

Supplies:

Cardstock Bazzil Candy Necklace

Basic Grey Fresh Cuts collection

My Favorite Things Sending Thanks clear stamp set

McGill mini petals punch 

Queen and Co. Goosebumps teal

Golden Molding Paste

Prima Finnabair 6x6 elementals stencil

We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper 3'8 inch

Studio G pigment ink teal
