Funday Friday Hello From Miss Lily

I can't believe I had left this in draft mode, so sorry for the delay :)
Hello from Miss Lily on a Bike card for today's Funday Friday challenge over at Jo's Scrap Shack. Today's challenge is a card, layout or project that is both Embossed and Distressed and our sponsor for this challenge is Little Blue Buttons Stamps:
I made a card with LBBS digi stamp Miss Lily on a Bike:

 I used the sketch at Stick it Down for my card

I did dry embossing by using an embossing folder I received with my cuttlebug for the background mat and I used distress in the edge of the sentiment/digi stamp layer. I used lots of stickles in various colors for Lily and I also colored her with Bic markers. I distressed with Mustard Seed distress ink and the sentiment comes for 3 Twenty Crafts Strike A Pose stamp set and I stamped the Hello in Broken China distress ink. Added 3 Stampin Up Subtles Candy Dots to the digi stamp to give a diagonal flow for the eyes to see.

The inside of the card holds a pocket for a gift card made out of the leftover piece of embossed mat. A fun sentiment I found on line and computer generated with distressing along the edge of the mat. I also distressed the inside of the card a bit with using tape to pull away the smooth of the cardstock to give it a rougher look. A card ready to send to my next relative or friend that gets s new house. Thanks for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation linked up.

Friendship Card for Funday Friday

Hi you all and welcome to Friday! Today the weather here isn't to kind actually a bit overcast, hopefully later today the sun will peek out a bit.
Today's theme for Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack is Friendship. This week's sponsor is Little Blue Button Stamps I used their digital stamp: Miss Lily in the Garden:

I used my current counterfeit kit for my card, scraps do come in handy for cards :) I colored Miss Ivy with my Spectrum Noir and my Bic markers. I also used the crystal stickles I pulled for this month's kit to give some sparkle to the flower and leaves that are in the wheel barrel. I framed her a bit with liquid pearls and gave her blue some stickles sparkle too. Added a fun border of ribbon to the middle of the card.

I chose another gate fold card for today's card for a weekly card challenge over at Scrappin n Chattin yahoo group.The sentiment spot holds the card close. I used 3 Twenty Crafts "Strike A Pose" stamp set and I used CTMH Indian Corn Blue ink for the inking. I also added SU candy dots to the sentiment and the corner of the card.

The inside of the card mimics the blue and yellow of her outfit and I found this fun vellum to use for the sentiment inside the card. Thanks for stopping by today and I'm excited to see what you all create for this theme.

Gatefold HB Card for Funday Friday

Hi you all and welcome :) It's been busy and I look forward to showing you my LOAD creations in the near future but today is Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack
It's Sketch Time and the sponsors are Little Blue Button Stamps and a new sponsor Sherri Baldy Bestie Shop I used one of the digi stamps from our new sponsor and with the sketch was able to create this fun gate card.

The sketch we were to use:
 
 This was a fun sketch to use and just perfect for the gate card.

 So the button embellishment is actually what is used to keep the card closed. The paper for the card came from last month's counterfeit kit and the bakers twine for the bow came from this month's kit. I used my cardstock that matched pretty close and the sentiment comes from 3 Twenty Crafts Simple Sentiment stamp set.

Here is the card half opened to show the gate fold, just need to add the inside sentiment yet and then it's ready.  This was a fun card to make and the cute digi stamp was so fun to color too :) Looking forward to seeing what you create with the sketch :)

Our Sponsors this week are:

  The winner will win 4 digital stamps of their choice!!!!

The winner will win 3 of

Mom I Love You Because....Funday Friday Challenge

Well Good Afternoon! Today is Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack and the theme is Happy Mother's Day and our sponsor this week is Little Blue Button Stamps I made a card for today's challenge:

I used Little Blue Buttons digital stamp:  Miss Lilly Is it for me? 





I seen a really fun combination this week of the navy with the purple and I wanted to give it a go. So I used the 6X6 paper pad that was in my April counterfeit kit for the cardstock. The background navy I dry embossed with swiss dots folder, added 2 layers of cardstock behind the colored stamp image. I used the gold doily for an added color and some extra texture and the fun flowers. Added purple pearls and my sentiment comes from 3 Twenty Crafts: Say It From the Heart.

Hello Again for FFC It's Sketch Time

Hello and welcome to my blog, wow been 10 days since my last post. Only one thing happened while I've been gone our trip to Gettysburg, PA for the Minneapolis Moline Corresponder, Inc. (MMCI) Winter Convention. WOW what a show, but you'll see that in the near future while I make a few layouts of the show and the sightseeing. Speaking of sightseeing I went and investigated one local scrapbook store OMgosh! this store was fantastic! Lots of papers related to Gettysburg that I can't wait to play with and they also have some for the Flight 93 National Memorial too that we saw a few years ago that I been wanting to scrap and now have the right papers I'm thinking to scrap with. So now that I uploaded the pictures to my computer of the weekend need to decide how I'm gonna handle 893 pictures! yep that is right that is what I said! Lots to decipher and decide what to print and not to print (luckily probably a third are reference photos for some of the other pictures.
So enough about what I was doing and lets get to the Funday Friday project for this week. It's Sketch Time this week for Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack our sponsors this week are: Little Blue Button Stamps and Bugaboo Stamps. I used Little Blue Button Stamps: Watering Plants Ivy for my card today:

and here is the sketch:

I stayed within the look of the sketch other than moving the bow down and the opposite side of the sketch. Such a fun sketch to use too. I used my current counterfeit kit for my card and brought in the silver chrome Viva pearl pen for the water and flower center on the stamp. I colored the stamp with both Spectrum Noir markers and Bic markers.

 I used the purple vellum in my kit for the Spellbinders Lacey Circles cut and then cut the stamp out with the Standard circles large cut. The purple and gold color combination is my favorite :)

 I used 3 Twenty Crafts: Strike a Pose stamp set for my sentiment that I stamped with memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of doily scrap pattern paper that was in a past kit. I used a flower stiker from a MS pack (so glad I added this pack to this month's kit :) and the AC twine. A super fun card to make :)
So that is it, I hope you join us this week over at Jo's here are the details:
