Freshly Made Sketches

Ok got my Freshly Made card done
I decided to use this stamp
I love this  stamp of the little guy
him trying to please mommy..
Paper used Carta Bella
and
Micheal's Recollection
cut the heart from Silhouette
and same with the banner
water coloured the stamp
 

Well I had started to do a challenge ...which I will finish today and posted later
when I got this email from Stamp TV
 
I love the design so I started working on it
if you click on Stamp Tv it will take you to the instructions ..plus a video
with Gina K showing you how to do the card.
 
now in making this card I learned a lot like makeup sponges
will work ...and I need a clear embossing pad ...just have the liquid form
and the try I had it all over ...I can see the pad would be way easier
now the colors I used are from Memento- Dew Drop
Pear Tart
Tangelo
Teal Zeal
the little flower stamp was just Micheal's
the sentiment Stampin Up Whimsical Words
the fancy scallop from Spellbinders
it was fun to try and make ...maybe give a try.
 
This little drink here was what my grandson Ethan ordered
a strawberry smoothie
and this is the way Cora's Restaurant service it to him
thought it was neat ...they even try to make the kids feel special

Ok
 first of all Happy New Years to all
all the best for 2014
Now on to the fun stuff today I got to hang with my 2 SIL
what an awesome time and the challenges were set
first one ..
so here is my take on it ..
check out Nina's and Barb's blogs
some awesome cards there for this challenge
supplies used paper from K & company
 the words and bees are a Stampendous CRD166
color them with gel pens and Tombow pens
 
Next challenge was sent by our SIL Barb
using buttons ...
and here is my try at the challenge
Now the supplies used were actually scraps
the stamp used for words was Verve
now the flowers with the buttons my daughter Sam
made on her circuit the leaves done on the silhouette cameo ..
 
Now this next card was made for Christy...
she does not like spiders ...and she just moved into a new place
and all she seems to find is spiders... she says
so I remember the story about the Christmas Spider ...
so that is where the idea for the card came ...
and K & Company paper
spiders cut with silhouette 
 tree shape also cut with my silhouette
now that took me a bit of work and paper to get it right .
Long with the card I also gave her the story about the spider
plus the instructions to make her own ..
SO what do you think ...
well that is my start to the new year ..
Make sure to stop by my SIL blogs
some awesome cards and ideas.
