Card Cupids Challenge

It's time for another challenge over at Card Cupids. We got to use an image from Sassy Cheryl's, this image is called Noah and Patches and it is so, so cute!  We followed this sketch from Sketch Saturday, I really like the way it turned out, I tend to keep things clean and simple. This image is adorable and doesn't need too much embellishing. I used copics to color and again, went to my scrap drawer for the papers.

Come join us over at Card Cupids, and make some cards for Happy Mail to send to children who are in need of a pick me up. It will make you feel all warm inside and will brighten their day at the same time. Win/Win!!

Card Cupids Challenge-Halloween

Card Cupids is up with another challenge that is being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.  Our theme is Halloween. 

 I used these adorable images for my card.  Brat Witch and Wizard . I sat them next to each other and popped the witch up a little bit.  I used scrap paper and the Whoo-ligans collection from Bo Bunny. I cut the bat out of pattern paper, stamped and embossed the Happy Haunting, colored with copics, cut the stars out of paper and put stickles on them. Added the sentiment and the spider sticker attached with black and white twine.

I think this turned out super cute and my daughter wants to send this to her "boyfriend" who is back in Rhode Island at the Naval Academy, I thought the sentiment was cute and as soon as Ash saw it, she pretty much snagged it up so she could send it along with a care package to her friend.

We would love for you to join us over at Card Cupids for our challenge and if you feel so inclined, to also send in some handmade cards to give to children that need some happy mail.  Please check out Card Cupids for the details!

Go check out MilkCoffee they have some seriously cute digi images!

I LOVE all things fantasy, medieval and mystical, I even have a collection of dragon figures and the dragon statue from Dragonheart.  I love The Lord of the Rings and am really looking forward to The Hobbit. I love reading that genre of books and am kind of a geek/dork when it comes to wizards, elves, knights, fairies, dwarves, etc...I fully accept that!! ;)

Anyway here is my card, colored with copics, glittered the mushroom spots, glossy accents on the heart, used the Party charm from my stash. Used some scrap papers for the borders and die cut the image with spellbinders and my cuttlebug.

I added some of the same elements with the paper borders on the inside. I think this little fairy is just adorable!

Rainy Days

are my favorite days, we have had clouds, thunder and lightening storms, and rain for the past three days which are desperately needed, Utah has been on fire all month, it's been super dry and windy.  I think at one point there were 8 different fires burning at once across the state. SCARY.   There have been a couple in Southern Utah as well, so it's a blessing to get the rain.

 What does that have to do with my card today?  Just that it has this cute duck standing in the rain!!  The card is for the Card Cupid challenge which is WINGS, this cute image is from Wings and Willows and is a lot of fun to color up, you should go check out Wings and Willows etsy shop, Rebecca has a lot of cute images to choose from. 

I used the sketch from JUST ADD INK and tweaked it just a little bit. I used pattern paper from my stash, actually, everything was from my stash...I love that! I used two sizes of brads because I didn't have four of the same size....I guess ya have to improvise sometimes.  :)

I colored the image with copics, cut out and embellished the scalloped circle (Spellbinders) and used some ribbon that I've had for awhile. I found the quote online, not sure who the author is, but loved it!  Then I just added some color and sentiment to the inside to finish it off!  Hope you like it, and hope you come join our challenge over at CARD CUPIDS!!

Card Cupids Challenge

The July 1st challenge is up over at Card Cupids, it's a fun, easy one! 

 Use ribbon, twine, or washi tape......if you are anything like me, you have several rolls of washi tape just begging to be used.  I tend to collect supplies and then hang on to them, I don't know...for fear of using them and running out??!! HA!  So dust off that precious ribbon, twine, tape, whatever you might be hoarding and put them to good use!! Get those cards made and then if you feel so inclined...send them in to Card Cupids and to a child in need of some happy mail. It will make you happy too!! :D

Here is the card I made, our sponsor is Stamping Boutique. I love this little ballerina, so cute and could be used with many different sentiments.  I have SHINE on the front of the card and I will add something inside before I send it, depending on if it's for a birthday or just a pick me up.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you come play with our challenge over at Card Cupids!

Happy Sunday to everyone!

My card was based on this sketch from +Papertake Weekly challenge #69, and I just flipped it.

I would also like to enter the following challenges:

Here is a little bit about me...
My name is Sharla. I live in Southern Utah with my daughter who is 16, and my husband who I just got married to about 15 months ago, I also have a 21 year old son who lives in Las Vegas, and three step-daughters. I love scrapbooking, card making, altered projects, and crafts of most kinds. I am hopelessly addicted to chocolate, ice cream and diet coke. When I'm not playing with paper, glue and scissors, then you can find my nose buried in a book or watching a favorite movie for the 100th time, (love Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Notebook, Princess Bride and most anything Disney!)
 Occasionally, you might find me lacing up my running shoes, but not too often!! ;) I spend a lot of time with my daughter and driving her to her basketball practices and games.....it's a pain sometimes, but I absolutely LOVE it!

Here is the order for the hop:
