Hi all, I made this card for a Flourishes Challenge, Colors of Fall. I bought this Flourishes Peacock stamp set months ago and I've been kinda at a loss as to what occasion to use it for. I decided to just make the card and hope something will come up. I was inspired by the teal on the color pallate. And i used something close to the nougat color.
I used a Mojo Monday sketch from last November. If anyone can suggest an occasion to use this stamp set for, please leave me a comment!

Happy.Anniversary

 Hi all, I here with a card for my In-laws anniversary, 60 something years of marriage! It's tomorrow, on September 11th. Too bad they have to share it with the national tragedy. :(  God bless the families of all who were lost.
I had so much fun making this! Gosh, I love pink and black! This purr button digi image is available here. I love the wedding kitties!!! It may be a little too cutesy for my inlaws but I wanted to use it. The sketch used is the current MFT Wednesday Stamp Club on SCS. And the colors are from Shabby Tea Room this week. (links below)
Thanks for visiting, friends.  Kim

Phindy.Skier.Card

 Hi all, I have another card for this week's Phindy's Place Challenge. Anything goes with a Phindy's Image which they have the first week of the month. I made this last January and never shared it so I'm doing it now!
I made this for my sister's birthday who is an avid skier. I used some cute winter paper which I zig=zaged with black thread. I added some sparkly alpha stickers.
I added some stickles for some snowy sparkle too. Those 3 panels are supposed to be different sizes, I didn't go crazy with the paper trimmer! Below is this inside. Thanks for looking. Kim

Phindy's.Anything.goes.birthday

Hi Blog Friends, it's September! Oh No. I have a card to share today with the cutest Phindy's Place image called Celebrate with Cake. This week's Phindy's challenge is Anything goes as long as you use a Phindy's image.
I recently applied for their Design Team. I made the finals but it wasn't in the cards for me this time around. Maybe next time!,
For this card, I paired this cute image with Oct.Afternoon papers, a prima flower, button, a gem for the cherry on the cake, and a border punch. This is my first card with Copic coloring. I need practice but I like how it came out. Usually I color with Prisma Pencils.
I'll be back again this week with more cards.
Kim :)

Happy Bird-Day

Hi all, I made this card for my sister in law that fit several of this week's challenges on some card

blogs I visited. This is a pure innocence digi from Heather Ellis' site. I paper pieced the dress. The paper is MME, don't know which collection. I colored her with my new copics. I have about 25 now so I'll still be coloring with Prismas sometimes. The sketch was a MFT Stamp Wednesday sketch from a few weeks ago.

Edit: I went away for Labor Day Weekend and missed the challenges I was playing with this card. Oh well!!!

Hope you enjoy looking!

CR84FN36.VLVAUG2011

Hey friends, I'm back with a card that combines many challenges and goes a little out of my comfort zone. Distressing isn't my favorite thing to do but I keep trying hoping my card will look like those who do it so well! This is an inspriration card for a friend who is a little down. I used the Verve sentiment stamp on the inside that says "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul." I couldn't get it to fit on the front with this sketch.

I used the color challenge from CR84FN, a Viva La Verve sketch, Phindy's place-vintage challenge, The Kraft Journal-Anything goes (use kraft paper). Pink Elephant-Stitching, Shabby Tea Room-polkadots.

Yes, there are polka dots on the designer paper that is embossed in the center square!

Flourishes.Hop.Challenge

Hi friends, I have a card to share that I made for a Flourishes Stamp challenge. The premise of the scavenger hunt hop is to go to the blogs of 7 wonderful design team members (and the 8th clue is on the Challenge blog) to get a clue. These clues are then to be used to make your own card with all the elements that need to be included.

I just have a few Flourishes stamps, but Wow, do I love them. This is the first time I inked up this one. I will give this card to my DD and her hubby for their 2nd wedding anniversary next week.
