MFT & TGIF

Ha!  How's that title of letters? :)  I took the time today and played along with the My Favorite Things Summer School Challenge.  Today I am playing with cool colors.

I used the MFT stamp set; Contemporary Roses. [I think this set is retired, I can't find a link] When I first started stamping [all those years ago] 2 step stamping was really the trend, and one I do enjoy creating with.  Also, using these cool colors, I realize that cool is me.  I am so drawn to blues and greens for creating and, [hello] they are also in my closet.  I think this card also works for the Saturated Color Session -- the more saturated, the happier I am :).  In fact, the Rule of 3rds Session also works since I used my Thirds Template for placement on this card.

I went on the join in the TGIFC #16; a sketch.  I am trying to make a friend some cutsie cards for her granddaughter - this one will work.  [Only about 10 more to go]

I used the cute set from The Cat's Pajamas; Wet Puddle. [Again, this set seems to be retired too.  Gosh, sorry.  I try to always link to the sets, if I can] On the upside, I found a Customer Hop on TCP Blog; any TCP image that this card qualifies for :).

   

Have a crafty week end everyone -- thanks challenges~

Ribbon Carousel Challenge

The Ribbon Carousel challenge came across my email today and I totally loved the sketch!  Into my stamp room I went, and created this fun little card.  My Little Girl image is from The Cat's Pajamas, Wet Puddle.  I don't do cutsie cards often, but today she worked in the sketch, and we actually had rain today in Arizona, so she is appropriate.

Just a fun little card.

SCS Color Challenge and Others

Mary, over at SCS for the color challenge this week  picked Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, and Rose Red with a dessert of Valentine's Day.  I used the sketch from Wee Memories.

It is the last challenge for this site, as Jessica is moving on to other adventures.  One of their sponsors is There She Goes, which was perfect!  I had purchased this set Let's Get Together a couple of months ago, and haven't used it yet!  Being the coffee person I am, I can't believe I didn't use it sooner!  Anyway, the sketch worked perfect to highlight my awesome cup!  (So reminds me of Starbucks)  My sentiment is from Verve Making a Statement.

This next card is a goal I have set for myself; to play every month in the Sketch For You To Try by Jan Del Muro. I love this girl's talent, and her sketches are fabulous. I just didn't do enough of them last year!  So, here is January's:

I used another new set I have had for months Wet Puddle by The Cat's Pajamas.  Isn't she just so adorable!  hee hee I love her paper pieced boots too!  Okay, my first sketch for the year is done.  Let's hope I can continue throughout the year!

New Challenge Site!

Okay - there's a new challenge site in town (well, not town actually) and I WANT these pens!  I don't want to buy these pens, I want to WIN the set of 12 pens!  The site is Touch Twin Markers and the first challenge is peeps - any people..  I don't usually do "cutsie" cards [and I do not claim to be able to color people either,] but I kind of liked this card with the happy colors.  Luckily [for me] it is a random drawing winner.  If it was based on talent, you would NOT see me playing in this challenge.  Good grief have you seen the coloring talent out there in blogland!!! Sheesh - amazing stuff...  Anyway, the DT's they have on this site ROCKS.  Even a couple of my Dirty Dozen Sisters!  What is awesome, is they give directions (and color #'s) of HOW they made their sample cards~  so, when I win, I can go back over and completely CASE the work -- :)  What a great way to learn to color...better!
I found (literally) while organizing my stamps, this Cat's Pajamas stamp set, The Wet Puddle.    She is really cute... I wanted to make a mud puddle, but I don't know how!  LOL~

Pals Paper Arts & TCP Sketch

I got this free set of Halloween stamps from Cat's Pajama's, when I went to CHA.  I don't really do Halloween (I really dislike the "holiday" actually), but I found a couple of challenges and figured I would use the stamps and play.  Pal Paper Arts is totally new to me, the challenge is a Halloween Card. and of course  I had to play with the sketch from Tuesday's TCP Sketch (it is their stamps after all).
