Thankful for you

Here is my card for this weeks SCRS challenge.
This week our challenge is giving thanks and
SCRS is also sponsoring TMS,
their challenge is cupcakes!
So, this image is perfect for both challenges!
(The sketch is also from TMS)
I made this card with a very special friend
in mind...I won't say her name but she will
know when she gets it!

Of course these are all scraps!! I even used
a piece of scrap to paper piece her dress.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
I will be inking all day...I received my new
stamp order from Sparkle Creations yesterday!!!
(Thank You Sparkle! I LOVE them!)

Give Thanks card

Another Thanksgiving day card...
I made this card the other day and I wasn't loving it!!
But, I have to admit, it has grown on me. I used up some
scraps...the stamps are from CTMH.
I guess I'm just not used to sentiment cards. I feel
like it is missing something if I don't have a colored
stamped image on my card.

Hope you all have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
Happy crafting!

Mojo Monday #163

Here is my card for this weeks Mojo challenge.
I will be making Thanksgiving cards this week.
This is my first one!!
I made four exactly the same...I love this little
Indian girl. I got this image from my friend Sophia.
I am not a big fan of the greeting farm...but
once in awhile I find and image I like or that
grows on me.

The sketch this week was pretty easy.
I don't know why I can't copy and past
from the mojo web site...but, go check it
out and play along.
Have a great day and I will see you tomorrow with
another card!

Mojo Monday 159

Happy Thursday!!
I can't believe how fast this week is going...
I made this card last week and forgot to
take a picture and post it!
I did this for last weeks mojo monday challenge.
I used an image from a swap...
I paper pieced the wall paper and
tried to give it the hard wood floor look.

I hope to get some scrapping done today...
I am meeting Sophia at a LSS this afternoon
for some scrappin girl time!!
Enjoy your day!
~~Pat

Pamper yourself...

Happy Sunday!!
I finally got to do a little crafting!!
And...I wish this was me!!! I guess you could say I made
this card with me in mind!! (LOL)
My hubby was home for 3 days (sick) and all he wanted
was for me to be by his side!!!
Why are men such babies when they are sick?!!
I had to sneak out of the house when he was asleep to get
my workouts in for the day!!
I am glad he is feeling much better.

The paper I used for this is from CTMH and the image is
from a swap...I think she is just darling!! (stop laughing Sophia!!)
Well, I am off back down to L.A. to check out another
couple Lofts...getting closer!!
I hope to get home early so I can play in the Christmas card
challenge for this week.
See you tomorrow!
~~Hugs Pat~~

For you...

Happy Hump Day!!
Another week almost gone!!
So, my favorite new stamps are from
Sparkle Creations!!
I sat and make 6 cards without images
I thought it would be easier to put cards together
then come back and pick an image I wanted
to color and use on a particular card.
This image was perfect for this card and
I love the colors!!

I have to say I am on a roll with using up all my
supplies that I have been stashing!!
I have buttons galore so, along with my scraps, they
are another must use!
I am off for my morning workout then I will be hanging
out with some of my workout girlfriends then it's
off to L.A. to look at a couple more Loft properties
(he's really wanting to move out there) and
then dinner at Flemings...our favorite place!!
See you tomorrow!!
Have a great day!
~Pat

Happy Everything...

LAKERS WIN!!!!!
Here is a card I made yesterday.
I was going through my digital images and
came across this one (forgot I had it!?)
Isn't she ADORABlE!!
I love these colors...
I tried a new technique. Very scary for me
to come out of my box...but I am trying.

I used my colored pencils and some gamsol.
If you have any tips or ideas on this technique
please share them with me.
I've wanted to try this technique for a couple of years.
I've just been to scared. I did use my copics
to color the flowers on her dress.
I will be trying this again (practice makes perfect).
Have a GREAT day!
~~Hugs

Mojo Monday #140

I've had this paper forever and finally
decided to use it.

green! I really like the way it turned out.
Have a great Thursday!!
Who's going to see Sex and the City 2 today???
I am!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!
Can't wait!!
~~Hugs~~

Happy Tuesday

Can you believe it!!
I am on a roll LOL!! second post this week.
This sketch is one of my favorite...I think it
was a mojo monday sketch.
I made this card for a friend
(not posting her name
because I'm not sure she received it yet)
I love this color combo.

paper is basic grey scraps. I love it.
Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday!
See you tomorrow.

Christmas Card Challenge

I'm BACK!!!!
Well, I finally found some MOJO!!
I have not been very creative these past few
weeks (maybe months) very sad face.
It's not that I haven't wanted to create...I just
didn't have any creativity.
I started by checking out blogs (another thing I haven't
been doing) and of course Sparkle just inspires me
all the time...
this week's Christmas Card Challenge is to use
a snowman in your card.
This is what I came up with.
Very non-traditional colors. I love it how about you?

I hope to be back tomorrow with another card and
I do have some scrap pages I am trying to complete
so wish me luck!!
Have a Scraptastic Day!!
Pat

Hello...

Can you believe I made a card today and
actually posted it!!
I totally lifted this card from CTMH...
I got the Felicity paper pack collection and
this is one of the card samples they had on
the idea page. I thought it was really cute
and great use of the stamps so...I copied it.

I used this paper for a layout (I'm not done with yet)
so, these are the scraps.
I think I need to start sending out my cards...
I have 3 boxes full of cards I've made.
What do you do with yours? If you make cards
do you always send them out?
Have a great day!
Pat

Mojo Monday on Wednesday

Happy Hump Day!!
Here is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday #120
It took me some time to figure this one out...
I am not really good with circles (just always have
such a hard time with them) I love it when other
people use them just not when I do.
I just love this bella image it is so versatile.
I really like this paper pack it is basic grey.

I am going to try to get some scrapping done today...
I have been on a shopping mission trying to
get ready for my trip to Cabo next week.
I am also so into my running...it is taking over
everything else!! I get up and go straight to the gym
and usually I am there for an hour and half.
Today I will be there for TWO hours!!
I will be doing an hour of ZUMBA (have you tried it?)
I LOVE IT!! (I love anything dance or cardio)
then I will be on the treadmill for 3.5 miles.
Wish me luck!!
See you all tomorrow have a Great day!!
~Hugs

mojo monday sketch 112

Here is my card for this weeks mojo monday sketch challenge.
I stayed up late to get this done...
The stamp I used is from justrite stamps...
The paper is from my scrap bin so I don't remember who
this is by (sorry)

I made this card for my friend Barbie...It's been a while.
I hope she like it.
Have a great day!
See you tomorrow.
Pat

Thanksgiving...

Here is another card for this week's mojo monday...
I got this stamp from a LSS that is going out of business.
I just love it!
I love the fall colors and this paper stack is perfect.

I hope you don't get tired of Thanksgiving & Christmas cards...
that's my focus right now and I will try to throw a few layouts
in between....
Have a great day!
See you tomorrow.
Pat

Mojo Monday #111

I know, I know today is Tuesday....
I finished this card late last night so, I decided to post it today.
I can't seem to save a copy the sketch...I don't know what I am
doing wrong...I used to be able to do it.
Anyway, this is my take on the sketch.
I wanted to do something different...I didn't feel like coloring
or using anything I already had colored.
So, this is what I came up with.

I love this sentiment!!
Do you have a soul mate??
Have a great day and see you manana!!
Pat

Fall card class

Happy Hump Day!!
I went to a Fall copics card class yesterday at a LSS.
I (kinda) learned how to shade...hopefully with more classes
I will master it (yeah right).
I made all three cards for $20.00 and I got to keep the stamp set too!!
The stamp set sells at the store for $20.00 alone!!
Not a bad deal huh?!
All the paper was cut and ready to go...I like those kind of classes.

I think this is my favorite...at least the coloring!! I love the
way the flowers turned out.

And isn't this scarecrow too cute!?
I don't like the way the hay came out...I must work on that..
but, I do love all the colors.

So, while I was at this store I bought MORE copics (hehehe)
and a couple more stamp sets....How could I resist...
she gave me 20% off my total!!!
Have a great day...
I off to meet Julie at Disneyland today so, I hope to get
some crafting time in the evening so I have
something to post tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.
Pat

Life is Fabulous!!

Happy Hump Day!!
So, this is another one of my fabulous stamps I ordered,
I ordered a couple of these ladies. I just love them.
I have branched out and started ordering more and more
from different companies. I still love my bellas....
There are just so many other influences out there.
I used this weeks mojo monday sketch for this card.

The paper is from basic grey "urban prairie" I so love
this paper pack and have been holding on to it...
don't we all do that when we love, love, love a paper pack?
Have a great day!!
Pat
