MFT Tote-ally Fantastic card in pink and silver

This MFT Toteally Fantastic card was for a co-worker to thank her for a lot of help she's provided lately.  I love the sparkly silver and pink papers (DCWV All Dressed Up and Sweet stacks).  I used colored pencil and OMS to color the image, and brushed Angel Wings Shimmerz over the portion that is supposed to be the window.  Isn't she so glam?  

A couple birthday Bella cards

I make the birthday cards for my fellow co-worker's birthdays.  I started back in August last year, and am about 3/4 of the way through the birthdays.  So far I have used a Stampingbella on each of them.  If possible, I choose one that best depicts the girl whose birthday it is (we only have one male, and he's "one of the girls" anyway...LOL).  

These two cards were for the most recent birthdays.

For this one, I added Superbella's head (because she reminds me so much of the birthday girl) to Balloonabella's body.  I used a Mojo Madness sketch, and some cool teal and red-orange papers from Martha Stewart.

This one is Savvyshopabella in teal and brown (one of my fave combos).  The birthday girl for this one is a total shopping diva and loves Tiffany's (she's anxiously awaiting an engagement ring).  Thought this was perfect.  Those are Lucky in Love papers from GKD.

My recent creations

I haven't posted in a while, and haven't gotten to craft as much as I'd like. We've been working on our house remodel, and in addition to being so busy, our house was a wreck and I didn't have much room, especially clean room, to work in. But I have my stuff in it's new space now, and while I didn't get to work on much, I did create a few works over the last six weeks or so.
So I'm posting here to catch up.

This is a card using Melanie Muenchinger's Hand-in-Hand set that I made for my neighbor, whose grandson was recently diagnosed with Children's Leukemia. He has a wonderful family and lots of people praying for his recovery, and is doing well.


This is a Stampingbella birthday card for a lady I work with who also likes to craft.


I made these two altered notebooks for Christmas presents for two ladies I work with. One is definitely the "princess" of the bunch, and the other, the "diva." Used Melanie Muenchinger's Little Tees set on both.




And this is the card I completed tonight...another using Melanie's Hand-in-Hand set. Long story, but my son has once again been kicked out of his daycare. His teacher is amazing, loves my son, (and he adores her), so I made her this card to thank her for all she did for him.


and the inside of the card:



I have one more card, a baby shower one, but need to find the pictures of it. I believe my husband photographed it for me, so it's probably still on his camera. It was, what else, but Melanie's Hand-in-Hand set again!!! I love this set. It is versatile and touching and unique.

MFT's Flopsey Warm Thoughts card

Used MFT's Snow Bunny Flopsey along with Our Creative Corner's weekly sketch to create this card for the 12th day of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge on Paper Craft Planet. The challenge was to use 12 embellies. I chose 11 faux dew drops and an Imaginisce snowflake.

MFT Keep in Touch card

For day 4 of Paper Craft Planet's 12 Days of Christmas challenges. When I read the challenge could be for "calling," I immediately thought of the cute Who's that Girl stamp by MFT with her on the phone. But I don't have that one {yet}. So I used two other images and substituted in some phone images I found on the net. That's BG Scarlett's Letter paper, and some yummy ribbon I found on Scrap Attack Scrapbooking;s online store (I just inked over the white thread in the ribbon with Antique Linen Distress ink).
I also used Julee's Mojo Madness sketch #63 on Poetic Artistry.

Happy Hoo-liday card

Used Jen del Muro's sketch to create this card for day 3 of Paper Craft Planet's 12 Days of Christmas challenges. The owl is built from PTI's set and I partially inked Unity's tree for his branch. Autumn Leaves flourishes around the outside edges. Bo Bunny paper, Stickles, glittery ribbon from Michael's and my nesties.

MFT Holiday Owls

Tried this technique with the moon and sky one more time. i like this one a lot better. These are MFT's Christmas Owls (I just isolated the owls out off the rest of the stamp). An old Christmas paper pack from Michael's, SU ribbon, silver ep and brads; Shimmerz Angel Wings brushed on the sky and Stickles on the owls' hats.

GKD Santa on the Rooftop

I totally CASE'd Melanie Muenchinger's treatment of the moon and rooftop for Santa. Love this silly image from Gina K's Funky Christmas set, and paired it with the All I Need to Know stamp from Unity stamps.
I think the concept was cute, but my execution of it and design are lacking. I think I made the rooftop image too large, and together there just wasn't much left to do to fit them on the card. I think I'll try again...

MFT Geranium card

This is for Julee's Mojo Monday #62 sketch challenge on Poetic Artistry. Used MFT's Geranium stamp and some DCWV All Dressed Up stack papers.
Some Target $1 spot ribbon, Brilliance Platinum ink on the edges of the image panel and watercolored on the flower pot, as well as Silver detail ep. Colored pencil with OMS, and use of the SU scallop edge punch and a scallop square Nestie.

MFT Flopsey Scholar card

This is for SCS's Bella Sketch challenge #56. I used MFT's Reading Flopsey set with some DCWV Grade School stack paper. This will serve as a thank you card for the Director of my son's after-school care. We are moving to another school, but she has been a tremendous support.

Colored pencil and Target $1 spot ribbon, with a tiny touch of Shimmerz Angel Wings on his glasses.

MFT Christmas Cupcake card

This card is for the MFT sketch challenge for November 20th in the SCS forum.  I used their new set It's a Cupcake Kind of Day.  Some older Chatterbox Gingerbread paper.  Stickles on the wrapper and Crystal Effects on the cherry.  A few rhinestones and ribbon.  My nesties for the circles and SU scallop punch for the trim across the middle.

Thanks for looking!

Billboardabella Happy Birthday card for SCS Bella sketch challenge #55

Stampingbella's Billboardabella on Black Market Paper Society's Lucky in Love paper. I popped the billboard sign and used a little touch of Stickles on the flower in her hair and on the heart on her shirt. 
This was for Bella sketch challenge #55 on SCS.

My Cuppa Joe Thanks a Latte card

My entry for Jessica Fick's sketch challenge on Gina K's SCS forum.  I used the brand new release set by Rupa Sheude, My Cuppa' Joe.  Love it.  Such great coffee images.  Perfect for this colder weather.

Paper is also from my Gina K order, Black Market Paper Society's Lucky in Love.

Couple flourishes from a Studio G stamp and 3 brads...that's it.  Quick and simple.

MFT Flopsey Night Before Christmas

I made this card for Melanie's Mixology 101 challenge on Gina K's SCS forum to use 3 or more stamp sets together. 
This is MFT's What's the Story Flopsey, borrowing one of the hats from the owls in MFT's Christmas Owls. And the "...Twas the night before Christmas" stamp is Studio G. 

I also used Jen del Muro's sketch for November 8th.

Basic Grey Fruitcake and BoBunny dp.  Some Shimmerz on the chipboard star and hat fluff.  Lots of Distress ink.  Colored pencils and OMS. 

Mojo Madness #60 Sketch Challenge

Here's my entry for Julee's Mojo Madness #60 sketch challenge on Poetic Artistry.  I used the "three little christmas trees" stamp from Stampingbella and an SU sentiment stamp.   The gift patterned paper is by Cloud 9 and the sparkly pink and metallic green cardstocks are DCWV.  Some American Crafts ribbon, Stickles, and Gamsol magic finish it off.
