Card no. 119 - Kraftin Kimmie + Few Challenges  

Posted by *Michaela* in , , ,

Oh, my ...oh, my  ... it seems like forever I had a chance to craft.  I've just been so busy, working full-time, taking care of my two sweet girls, my husband, household, everything ... I am sure ya'll know what I am talking about .... well, the little time I had left in my day, I would be so tired I would fall asleep or i was so tired, I couldn't lift a finger.

Anywhoo, I made this card on my sister's request - she needed a birthday card ... so here it goes ...

The Front View


I honestly don't even remember the papers - I think I've got them last year at Archiver's. The cute image is Kraftin Kimmie's Vivienne - I colored her with ProMarkers, few Copics and I also used A LOT of Spica Markers to color over - to add a little sparkle.  Ribbon is American Crafts, flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The rhinestones, pearls and doily are from Michael's.

I must admit - and I did before - I just loooove yellow - such a happy and cheerful color. I am excited the card was delivered on time and liked. ♥♥♥

ENJOY!

Posted by *Michaela* in , , , , , ,

Hello again ...
Well, here is the second post. If you'd like to see the first card of the two 
(and where we're going for Christmas). 
Click here.

I will be out of town until January 3rd, but I am bringing my computer, so if you'd like any cards to be made, please, feel free to e-mail me, but I won't be able to make any, until I return.
Thank you!

This card went to Susan. And it's the second of two.

I also used the lovely Sketch Saturday's Sketch #186 on this card. I also used the lovely Sketch Saturday's Sketch #186 on this card. Cardstock is Bazzill from Michael's and DP from Graphic's 45 Christmas Collection. I added JoAnn's Rhinestones, lacy ribbon, American crafts ribbon and Wild Orchid Craft flowers. The beautiful sentiment is from Whiff of Joy (I just masked off the Christmas Tree part). The Spellbinders used were Labels 18. The super cute angels are a Lili of the Valley image,  3D-ied and colored with Copics and ProMarkers. The 3D process on this one was a wee bit more complicated, but I am happy with the results. I also added Star Dust Stickles.

Card no. 117 - Sketch Saturday #1  

Posted by *Michaela* in , , , , , ,

I have two cards to show you today, but I separated them into two posts.
I am super duper busy today, because we're leaving to see our grama  Heather, who lives in Park City, Utah.
It will be a little climate shock for us, since the weather in Phoenix is lovely at 55 of, where PC has only 23 oF. Yikes!

Anyways, the couple of cards made yesterday were given to my two lovely co-workers/boss - Betsy & Susan. And to brag a little, they also have got a HUUUUGE Costco-sized Chocolate Box. Yum!

This one went to Betsy. And it's the first of two.

The 3D Detail

I used the lovely Sketch Saturday's Sketch #186 (on both of them). Cardstock is Bazzill from Michael's and DP from my stash. I added JoAnn's Rhinestones & lacy ribbon, and Wild Orchid Craft flowers. The beautiful sentiment is from Whiff of Joy and so is the die cut. The Spellbinders used were Labels 21 (I think). The super adorable angel is Lili of the Valley image,  3D-ied and colored with Copics and ProMarkers.
I added a bit of Stickles ... and voila ...

Card no. 116 - A gift for Ms. Usher & a special Saturday for my sweet Hannah  

Posted by *Michaela* in , , , , ,

Happy Sunday everyone!!! 
My sweet Hannah turned 2 yesterday, so we had a fantastic Tea Party planned for her. 
Everything went well - I even made my very first birthday cake! 5 layers, each different shade of pink ...  well, it did have a "loopsy" side ... but it tasted wonderful :)




I even made a birthday t-shirt using Silhouette - I was so happy with the results.
And here is my sweet birthday girl...


Well, I also made a special Christmas gift for Lana's teacher on Friday, because it was the last day of school before the Winter vacation. I made her Grapefruit Bath salts with vitamin E. It smelled so yummy...

Here is the whole package:

And here is the card:

Base Cardstock is Bazzill from Michael's, DPs are from Graphics 45 (the Magic of Oz Collection) and Making Memories (Paper Reverie - Sienne Floral).
The super cute image is from Whiff of Joy, colored with ProMarkers & Copics, and so is the sentiment. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Recollections by Michael's. The rhinestones are from JoAnn.
The border punch is Martha Stewart and Spellbiners used are Labels no. 10 and Lacy Circles.

Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy ...

I am entering these challenges:
Dutch Dare Card Challenges - Tic Tac Toe (I chose: bling, stamped image & distressing)
Stampavie & More - Red
Totally Gorjuss - For Someone special (Ms. Usher is surely special!)

Enjoy your day!

Card no. 115 - Merry Christmas - Whiff of Joy Angel  

Posted by *Michaela* in , , , , , ,

Oh, such a busy busy week (and weekend). I have been working a lot, which is great, but I don't get much of my "mommy" playtime! I also have been moving furniture this weekend as I have decided to move my craft corner to my bedroom (my hubby wasn't thrilled), but both my girls would take and misplace "my" stuff and oh, they would snatch my markers and Hannah (will turn 2 this Saturday) would color the walls, etc. .... just not fun.  Anyways, I set up my workstation in the bedroom and when we have a huuuuge house (one day) I will have my own whole room just for crafting .... 

OK. Enough blabling ....
Here is a first quarter of a order placed after our Fundraiser back on December 6th.  The order was 12 Christmas cards ... I have already sent them, but haven't had a chance to post them.

This is a Criss-cross card, using a gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamp from last year's Christmas collection, colored with Promarkers and Copics. I added Stickles and Spica Copics.
Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Cardstock is Bazzill from Michaels and DP is ... shoot! I can't think of the name right now ... sorry.
Rhinestones are from JoAnn, ribbon is Papertey Ink, border is punched with EK Success border punch. I aged the edges with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks (Old Paper, Tea Dye, Antique Linen).
The inside sentiment stamp is a Inkadinkado stamp from several years ago.
