.
This is also for a Sweet n' Sassy Sketch Challenge from June 6th. I had this sketch laying around and thought I would finally use it.

Humdinger of a Challenge Card!!

Hello everyone,
.
Boy, do I have a humdinger of a card today!! This card is for 5 different challenges. I found the challenges via The Daily Dare run by our very own newly appointed SCS Dirty Girl and personal friend of mine, Deb Felts!!!
.
The first challenge the is for is for today SCS Limited Supplies Challenge 225 International Flair where we were to make a card using a different language on it. Mine is in Spanish and it means Thinking of You.
.
Second is the 365 Card Challenge #111 Say it with Stripes where we were to use bold colors and stripes.
.
Third is the Daring Card Makers Challenge-Missing You where we were to make a card that shares your love with someone - it could be missing you, thinking of you, across the miles.
.
Fourth is for the Stamping B's Challenge #11 where we were to use the water coloring technique. I used Watercolor Crayons and a water brush.
.
And last. but not least, this is for the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge where we were to follow the sketch with the twist of DP inspiration. I ended up not going with the rules. The rules were to use one DP how ever much you wanted and use it as your inspiration for your card. Well, I ended up using 2. I didn't realize I had done the challenge wrong until I went to upload it, but hey, it is still the sketch and was an awesome inspiration for me!!
.
My image is a digital image from KLM Designs. It is colored with Watercolor Crayons and a water brush. And yes, you can watercolor digital images if you heat set them with a heat gun before water coloring them.

Wat True TXTing is 2 Me!! LOL

Hello again everyone,
.
When I saw the challenge today, I tried to wrap my head around what texting meant and I came up with the card I posted earlier today, but then I realized I wanted to make a card with what texting means to me. My 13 yr old DD and I text each other constantly on our phones as well as to many other people. So, when I saw use texting, this is what I actually had thought of first.
.
This is for today SCS Ways To Use It Challenge 223 Texting where we were to use texting on our cards.
.
This is also for Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I tried to follow the sketch as close as possible, but my image was a little to big for me to do the upper right corner the way the sketch was. So, I used a bunch of brads instead.
.
My image is a digital image from KLM Designs. It is one of the images I colored while on vacation in Orlando with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. I computer generated the text sentiment.

Dustin Pike and KLM Designs

Hello there,

.

This is for today's SCS Ways to Use It Challenge 223 Texting. I am not quite sure about the texting thing. I saw that someone used a quote for texting, so that is what I went with. I computer generated a quote by e.e.cummings.

.

This is also for Mojo Monday's Sketch Challenge

.

As for the images, well, they are digital images from 2 different companies.

The octopus frame is from Dustin Pike and was released last Thursday when I was on vacation.

The ocean view is from KLM Designs. I took both of these images with me on my vacation and colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. I cut out the octopus frame, then used Nesitibilities to create a port hole frame, and glue the octopus to it. I then popped the frame up on top of the ocean scene. I put dew drop over most of the bubbles. I used the negative effect with the Cuttlebug to create the top bg.

Mercat Hello

Hello there,

I have been busy today cleaning the house, unpacking (finally) from our trip, doing the laundry, and believe it or not, cleaning and organizing my insane mess of a stamp room!!! It has taken me all day to do this!! My stamp room was so bad I couldn't even stamp in it anymore!! I was working on the kitchen table!! Any way, once I got done, I was so exciting I had to make a card in my newly cleaned stamp room!!
.
This is for today's SCS Sketch Challenge 233. I turned the sketch upright.
.
My image is a digital image from Dustin Pike. It is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. This is one of the images I colored while down in Orlando. I couldn't wait to put it to a card and this sketch was the perfect size for it!! I do have to say I cheated a little though. I only colored the image once. When I finished coloring it, I felt the mercat needed to be popped up. So, I photo copied the colored image then cut the mercat from the original and popped it up with demensionals. I daubered the bg with Cool Carribean and my sentiment is computer generated.

Dustin Pike Sneak Peek for June 18th!!!

Hello everyone,
.
When I got the new images for Dustin Pike's digital images that are being released Thursday June 18th, I knew I had to color them and put them to a card!! I do have many images all ready colored from my trip to Disney that need to be put to a card, but I just couldn't resist working with these!!!
.
This is for Caardvark's Depth Perception Challenge where we were to make a 3-D project. My 3-d project of course is a stair step card.
.
This is also for Verve's Project Parade where we were to make a project or card that fits your style and celebrates a man in your life. Well, my kids and I think my DH is definitely 'Out of This World' and we are giving this to him for Father's Day.
.
All of my images are digital images from Dustin Pike and they will all be released this Thursday, June 18th. They are all colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. Now, I kinda cheated with the BG image. I colored it only once and then I photo copied it three times to make my BG for all three panels. I cut out all of there other images and popped them up with demensionals. I hand wrote the sentiment on the sign and computer generated the rest.
.

DTC#11 Newly Released Doodle Palace

Hello there,
.
I have made this card for many challenges.
.
The first challenge is for the Digital Tuesday Challenge #11 hosted by Maria. She has asked us to do a recipe. You are to use blue, brown, bling, and of course, a digital image. I added a little green with mine.
.
My sketch is from last week's Sketch Challenge #232. I missed it last week because of being on vacation in Disney. The image I colored fit the sketch perfectly.
.
Finally, this is for both Fun Frilled and The Cuttlebug Spot. They were both challenges to create a Father's Day card.
.
As for my image, it is a newly released digital image from Doodle Palace. Isn't he so totally cute!! I printed it out twice, colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OSM, cut out the hat, and popped it up with demensionals.
.
I will, of course, be giving this to my DH for Father's Day!! I will need to make a few cards for my girls to give him too.

SCS Technique Challenge Goof Up!!

Hello there,
.
Well, I had intended this to be for today's SCS Technique Challenge, but when I went to look up what number it was, I realized I did a card for last week Technique Challenge. Oh well!! LOL
.
This is for last week's SCS Technique Challenge 224 Acetate & Color where we were to print an image off of the computer on to acetate and use an alcohol based coloring medium to color the image.
.
Well, I had all sorts of problems with this. First of all, my printer wouldn't print on acetate with out it smudging all over the place. So I took one of my stamps and stamped it with StazOn Black. Second, I didn't have anything I could really use to color it. The way I solved this problems was to go SHOPPING!!! I went and bought my first Copics markers!! I am taking the certification class in July so I thought it was time I should try to work with them!!! The last thing I had a problem with was how to attach the acetate to the white. I ended up using brads to attach it.
.
This is also for today's Res-Q Challenge where we were to use embossed dots. I had found a package of embossed DP while shopping for my Copics. It works perfectly for this challenge.
.
All in all, I really like how this card turned out.

KLM Designs #4

Hello Hello,
.
Ok, this is my last one for the day!! I promise!!
.
This is for today's SCS Featured Stamper 123 Roseanne (sumtoy). I told you her gallery was awesome to CASE with the new releases from KLM Designs. I chose this card for my final card to CASE.
.
I kept Roseanne's same basic layout and theme, but I changed up the colors a little.
I changed the sentiment to Friendship.
And instead of place four brads, one on each panel, I place three brads on each of the outer sides.
.
My image is a digital image from KLM Designs. I printed it out twice. Colored them both with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. Then cut out the water lily, and popped it up on demensionals.
.
Sorry for the poor quality in the photo. I can never take a good pic at night time.

KLM Designs New Release #3

Well hello again,

.

After taking my youngest to the pool for 2 hours, I decided to make yet another card. Like I said I had several picked out to CASE today!!

.

This is for today's SCS Featured Stamper 123 Roseanne (sumtoy). Totally rockin' awesome gallery she has!! For my third choice, I chose this card to CASE.

.

Well I tried to stay with Roseanne's layout, theme and colors, but it seems the card took on a life of it's own!!

I change the flower image and added a layer to it. I was gonna put glitter on it, but I liked it the way it was colored. So I popped up the flowers instead.

I added a layer to the base and change the DP.

I was going to put the ribbon in the same place, but then it was cover the cool DP. So I decided to put it on the flower instead.

Then it looked like the side was missing something so I added the rhinestone brads and a sentiment.

So like I said it kinda took on a life of it's own, but it did start off as a CASE. It still is just kinda different.

.

My image is a newly released digital image from KLM Designs. It was released on June 8th with several other flowers. It is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.
