HDH093--and Happy Father's Day

Good Morning blogland. Today marks for a special day for all of you father's out there. I hope you enjoy your day with your families.

****************

Today is a quick post to share a card I made for Macabre Monday Challenge over at HDH093. It's been awhile since I've had a chance to play along and I really enjoyed this challenge. Distressing---Love it!!! ---ENJOY!!!--

here I used an image from Kenny K-Anime Girl--colored her in with Prisma pencils--I also got to use the Skulz (from the eye popping line from Gloria--love your new stuff there girlie) pop dotted onto a bat sticker from Recollections--Inkadinkado greeting--Recollections for splat rubber stamp, skull and rhinestones--Making Memories metal moon--MS and EK for border punches--Deckled embossed die from Spellbinders--Pebbles Inc for paper...other sequins --front view-- here you can see that I bowed out the top border to give it some dimension...torn the paper and added a little stone for an accent... ***************** Well Peeps...I'm off and running for the day...we have a very busy one scheduled ahead of us...I hope everyone has a sunny day filled with alot of memories to cherish....Hugs from Charm City......

Tiddy Inks Simplify Challenge

Happy Thursday bloggers...It's such a pretty one here, but I do believe we are expecting some rain sometime today. We could use it though......anywhoooo, I would love to share a card I had made for Tiddy Inks Simplify challenge....make a one layer card...anyone who knows me, knows I just can't do one layer cards..I need "STUFF"...the more the better...*smile*...so this is my attempt at making a one layer card....ENJOY!!!!

Images I used were bathing beauty-- going swimming-- going swimming boy-- light my life--harmony border-- hoppy sleepy wishes (sentiment)-- cloudy with a chance of sun...the ones without links I think were freebies...I can't seem to find them in the store....

*********************

I wanted to try and make a 3-D look with a 2D feel...I used Microsoft Word to create my scene using all of the images. I started using the harmony border as a photo frame (kind of sorts)...I added an oval frame making the black outline at 3" to give it a frame...added the rest of the images inside and colored everything in using my Prisma pencils...I cut the image out and made a shaped card by just wet gluing the top tabs to back of card......it's alittle wonky, and the oval is off center, but I do love how it turned out for being a flat card.....

just a front view.....

here's the inside....I used StampScapes for the tiki huts and quote from Sweet Pea Stamps (plate 101)...MS border punch along with a EK circle punch for bottom corners.... just a side view.... *************************** Well I hope if you get a chance, and really want a challenge, this one's for you...stop on over and see what the team has created for this challenge...they totally knocked it out of the park (as they always do)....thanks girls for a great one this week...... ************ I hope everyone has a wonderful and sunny day.....Hugs from Charm City...

Tiddy Inks--Christmas Caroling

Wotty Woot Woot!!! I can't believe I made it for another challenge at Tiddy Inks...but ya'll have to keep it under wraps...I'm suppose to be doing other things to get ready for Christmas/laundry that I just couldn't help myself to make this card first....lol....But before I share my card, I'd like to say a HUGE Thank You to the team from TI -- my card was chosen in the top five for the last challenge....thanks girlies....ENJOY!!!!!!!

The theme was to make a card using images for your favorite song. Can ya guess what my favorite song is? I have been singing this song ever since I seen the challenge there...lol....

here are the images that I used from Tiddy Inks--dream castle--red nosed bot--inky critters--the watts ....the car is from MelJen Designs...I colored the images using Prisma pencils and the background is distress inks. Add some stickles, liquid glass and the snow writer pen...

Now I know you are singing this song by now....I know call me weird, but I have loved this song since I was a little girl....Grandma got RUN over by a Reindeer....poor thing...she shouldn't have had that last glass of egg nog...lol...

just a closer view...

I just thought I'd leave you with a video...have fun....off to tend to the "to do list"...and guys say they are the only ones with those...lol......NOT!!!!.....Hugs from Charm City.....

PaperTake Weekly--Sketch #51 Challenge

Woot Woot!!! It's another week for a great challenge over at PTW. This week we are doing a sketch challenge...It's a simple but good one....and we are being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. They offer a wide range of products....so hop on over and see what kind of Christmas goodies you can get......ENJOY!!!!!!

here's the sketch...how fun is this...the possibilities are so endless....

and this is what I came up with....it's a 2"fer...lol....it's that time of year and I love to make home made boxes and things to stuff presents in for my family and friends...I'm thinking this set will go to my nephew who's 13...maybe not though....anywho, I used the sketch on the card and sort of on the milk carton....the stamps are Darcie's (#pol 12 set) except for the tag those are from Studio G....and the template for the milk carton came from here....remember I posted a box I made the other day for Stamp It Crazy (just scroll down and you can see it)? Well I found the link and you can go and make one yourself....but for the milk carton I used the same directions for the big box and just added an extra score mark.....and then kind of folded in the sides a bit to form a carton.....and this my friend was found by making a mistake when I was following the directions....I really like how big this is...the other cartons are abit smaller in size and you can't pack as much stuff inside them.....

here's the card....I just love this snowman pirate.....I just kept this real simple since a teenager is going to get it....they normally are all about the gift and not the packaging...lol....I colored in the images with Prisma Pencils.....

the carton...I just folded down the tab at the top (which is actually one of the score marks on the instructions) and added a clip to keep it together....

here's a side view.....I truly love how this turned out....and I'm sure you'll be seeing more of these this holiday season...hope you don't get to sick of them.....

Well, I want to thank you for stopping in today...make sure you stop and see what the rest of the team has created...they always amaze me week after week with their creativity.....Hugs from Charm City....
