Isabella Stroller

This is one of those "seriously lacking mojo" cards. I've had the image colored for a couple of weeks, but when it came down to creating the card, I just didn't have it. Must be prego brain. Haven't felt like making anything crafty for a while. 

Anyhoo, I used Isabella Stroller from Bugaboo Stamps. They are sponsoring us at Make It Monday this week. The challenge is anything goes and we'd love for you to join us. 

 My POTW:

Cabio

Her dress is very impressive!

Friends In Any Weather

Hola Peeps! Happy Monday to you! 

It's time for another "anything goes" challenge at Make It Monday. This week we're being sponsored by StampArt Design by Kathryne. I chose to use ARI & TOBY I'd like to say this image reminds me of my daughter like last time, but truth is, she's terrified of dogs! I have no idea why. She thinks they're cute, but don't let them get anywhere close to her. It doesn't matter what size. My son, on the other hand, is obsessed with them. Kids! :) 

I used paper from Echo Park and distressed the image with brown ink and stamps from Forever in Time. The majority of the flowers and ribbon came from Hobby Lobby. The "X" bling is from Micheal jewelry making department. 

 My POTW:

Make a Wish

Good Morning!! How was your weekend? Ours involved a yard sale...need I say more? :) 

This was made for Make It Monday using an May Day Birgitta from our sponsor C.C. Designs.

I decided to branch out of my usual brown hair and have another go at black. I really like how it's easier to see the contrast. I used C7, 3, 2.

The paper is from My Mind's Eye and the flowers from all over the place. The "Make a Wish" brad is from Hobby Lobby. I added some white paint for some distressing, but it's kinda hard to see in the picture. The bling looks orange in the corners, but they're red. It was a harder card to get a picture of.

Sick Bear

Not sure what's up with me making so many get well cards lately, but I guess I'm prepared for when winter hits. HA! This was made for Make It Monday using an image from our sponsor Meljen's.

The paper is from Echo Park and the "wish" is from K&Company. The inside says: you'd get better!

Happy Birthday to Ewe

Welcome back to another post for Make It Monday. This week we're being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps. They are generously giving the winner 7 digis!!

I chose to work with Topper - Happy Birthday to Ewe Trio. This card screamed to be kept clean and simple since the image was bigger. I kept the colors neutral so it could be for a boy or girl.

Two Little Girls

Unfortunately, I've lost my copic list again. I'm going to have to figure out a better way to keep track of those. The paper is from basicgrey. Added some cheesecloth and lace to give it a vintage feel.

Holly Jolly Christmas-MIM

Hello Everyone! Ready to start another week? Can you believe it's the last week of March already? Yikes! The way this year is flying by, I'll be needing Christmas cards sooner than I'd like to think. ;) 

With that, I have made my first Christmas card for our Make It Monday link-up party. I used an image from our sponsor Rick St. Dennis. It's called Holiday Cottage Scene. He has a wide assortment of digis and I'm sure you would enjoy looking through all of them. 

The paper is from Making Memories-found it at Big Lots on the cheap, so I'm pretty sure it's retired. The ribbon is Recollections and the flowers are a wide assortment. I added some stickles to make the snow sparkle, but it's not showing up very good in the picture.

Copics:

Gray: W5, 3, 00

Red: E19, 07

Green: G21, YG 03

Blue: B0000, 000

Friends Swing-MIM

Hi MIM friends!

Monday again already which is fantastic because it means the start to another fabulously fun linky party.  I trust everyone had a great weekend.

This week, I'd like to share a card using an image from our sponsor Bugaboo. I chose to use Ava & Deacon Friends Swing. Aren't they sweet? 

I used a bunch of my clearance goodies from Basic Grey found at Jo-Ann's. The ribbon is old and the bead came from Micheals. I tried to keep it fairly clean and simple. What's up with that lately? LOL

Ignacio is generously providing a $20 gift voucher to our winner!

I chose to work with  Sugar and Spice DSL I and I have to admit my first impression was like hmmm...stumped...and then it hit me! This image screamed vintage. And, so, vintage I did. I used lots of embellishments and colors that seemed to fit. I printed the image off on kraft cardstock and then took some of my darker copics to color in his sketch shading like you would see on an old portrait.

 The vintage embellishments came from Micheals. Can you tell I've recently moved closer to the store? LOL
