Mermaids By the Sea

I've been asked to make a few cards for a someone at work one card specifically with this image since it is for her daughter. She just fell in love with the mermaid. So I followed the Sketch at Sketch Saturday, and the color theme at the Copic Creations which this week is to use colors from the "cool" family. I choose blue greens and this is what I came up with. I tried by best to get a better shot but the light and camera were not cooperating...Sorry :(

This fits the following Challenges:

Sketch Saturday & Penny Black

I haven't been able to make cards lately, but knew I had to crank out a few Christmas cards especially with it right around the corner. I've only done about 5 this year. I followed this wonderful sketch over at Sketch Saturday,and used this adorable Penny Black stamp for their challenge which was to use Ivy or Holly so of course these adorable mice fit right in. So here is my take on both challenges.



As always thanks for looking

Saturday Sketch & Penny Black

I did this for the Sketch Saturday & Penny Black Challenge Blogs. I followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday and used the colors Purple, Cream & Brown for the Penny Black challenge. I've had this paper for ages and glad that I was finally able to use it. Years ago, I belonged to a Scrapbook Club, this paper was from one of their monthly kits, I thought the papers were perfect for the Penny Black color theme since it has creams and purples in it. I even shocked myself that I remembered I had them...lol

So here goes:


Image: Penny Black: Let's Celebrate
Paper: so old I am clueless to who made them, but it was double sided so the lighter purple was used for the strip accross the middle and for the flowers
Extras: Sizzix Flourish Swirl, Rhinestones, MS border Punch, Self Adhesive Rhinestones. MS Branch Punch, Nellie Snellin Flower Punch.
Copics: E000,E00,R20,E31,E33,E35,V12,V15,V17,Y21,Y17,

Sketch Saturday

A quick post this morning so that I can upload this before the deadline. Although I finished this card on Monday, my busy schedule didn't allow me to upload it sooner. This was done for someone at work who needs 3 Bridal Shower cards, one for herself and 2 for the brides mother. This is for my friend at work. For hers I used these colors since the blue is close to what the bridal party is wearing. The other 2 cards are more traditional using white, black & greys and I will try and upload those tomorrow.

Thanks for looking

Sketch Saturday #74-Happy Birthday Mouse

What a great sketch this week over at Sketch Saturday. This week we're up Challenge 74. I am glad I was able to play along since I'm still working overtime even put in a few hours yesterday, so I only get to catch up on the weekends and lately those are jammed packed as well. At first I didn't like how the cake came out, I was trying to match the paper, but now it's growing on me.

The colors I used are below. The Ciao is B60 which I finally ordered the sketch for. That and a few others should be here tomorrow... Can't wait for Mr. Postman...


As always, thanks for looking
