Northwoods Harvest Mailbox

This card isn't for any challenge, just a for fun card today. I'm taking a copic class online & wanted to practice coloring & shading. My hubby got home a little early tonight & took the boys fishing for a few minutes. It was still pretty warm & the mosquitoes are still really bad. But, they had so much fun! :D The boys have been digging in the yard for worms. They each have a container in the fridge full of worms. One of the joys of having boys!!! :D

Swine Flu

I just want to say, that I realize the H1N1 flu is a very serious flu virus, especially for certain people. But, when I saw this image, Swine Flu, it made me smile. I need a better sentiment for it though. I haven't jumped on the digital stamp bandwagon, but I did have to buy this one.

The sketch is for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch I'm not used to making long cards, so this was a definite challenge to me.

Stampin' Sisters in Christ #6

When I saw this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge, I knew who I wanted to make a card for. A friend from our small group at church is having surgery on Thursday. The dr. told her every single thing that could go wrong, so she's a tad nervous. Several of the ladies in our group have promised to cover her in prayer during the surgery time.

Stamps: Always, Tag Lines Gina K.
DP: River Rock
Cardstock: River Rock, Basic Black, white
Ink: Memento Black
Black ribbon & brads

Stamptv Sketch Challenge 31

I am really glad I made this card early yesterday. We had a Children's Miracle Network fundraiser for my hubby's job. We did a poker run for bikers. We had 116 people, I'm not sure how many motorcycles because part of them had a passenger, but last year we had 70, so we were pleased with the turn out! It was a beautiful day for the 160 mile ride. We had a huge BBQ dinner waiting for all of them when they were finished. It was a lot of prep work, I walked 11 miles today!!!! But, it was worth it! There was a little boy, Parker who came to talk to us about his miracle birth & his journey from Children's Hospital. He is just a few months older than my youngest. Both of my boys had to go to the NICU, but didn't have to stay very long at all. It's easy to take your kids health for granted when you have healthy kids. I'm so glad that we are able to participate in this fundraiser to help out families. The coolest part of the whole day, was when the biker who won the high hand, walked off of the stage & right down to Parker's family. He gave his entire winnings to this family!!! That just brought tears to my eyes to see this big, bad biker dude give his money away!!! :D I'm so glad that my boys got to experience all of today!

My card is for the stamptv sketch challenge this week. I did cut the dp, but it doesn't look like it, it just looks like another stripe in the dp! LOL! I colored the cupcake with my copics & added some PTI buttons.

I may not have another card until late Monday. I'm too tired tonight to make anything. I'll see what I can do!!

Feel the Joy Double Challenge Card

I couldn't get the lighting right on this card.

The sketch is for Amy's Friday Sketch Challenge and then for Sharon's Stamp Simply, we were to use brown or black ink... no coloring. I stamped the base with the stamp in Aqua Mist & it's not showing up very much. I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder on the other Aqua Mist piece. The ribbon matches much better in person. Stamp is a Unity stamp, Feel the Joy.

Color Throwdown #61

This is my first time to play in the Color Throwdown Challenge This week's challenge was to use olive, rose red, mustard, regal rose, and chocolate. It was a challenge for me, especially since I don't use the pinks very often! ;)

I received the image, Soft Summer, from Wish Rak. Cardstock colors, Rose Red, Old Olive, More Mustard, and Dark Chocolate. I colored in the image with copics. And the wild & crazy, out of my comfort zone dp is from the Lemonade Basic Grey paper pack.
