This card is for the Super Saturday Challenge - Joni is hosting it this week! Sketch challenges are always hard for me - I think that I have to stick EXACTLY to the sketch and I always feel like I don't get it quite right! This was a fun one me though since I got to use my punches - love those things. I used Basic Grey pattern paper, SU Barely Banana and W. White. The stamps are from Amuse and I used 3 different punches. The ribbon is also SU. Make sure to check out Mel and Gabby's blogs to see what they did for the challenge!!

I made this card for a monthly swap that I am in. The theme this month was Kid Birthday! I am always looking for little boy cards, so I went with that! I saw these brads in Target and knew they would be great with this stamp! I love how it turned out! The paper is all SU, the brads are from Target and the stamp is from Lizzie Anne Designs.

Ok- I promise this is the last Edward/Twilight card for awhile! Or until the next swap is due anyway! This is for Sarah's (WAStamper) New Moon Swap. This quote is actually from Eclipse, but it is one of my favorites. I used Ian and Anya from The Greeting Farm. I used my Prisma Markers to color them in, a black glossy pen on her headband and a Spica clear glitter pen on his face, hands and feet. I went very light on the embellishments, but then I think the Ian's and Anya's are embellishments on their own!

Spring Picture Time

We had some spring pictures taken of the kids this weekend and these are some shots that I took at home before we went!

Kiddos

I haven't posted any family pictures in awhile and got a couple of good ones this weekend. I LOVE this picture of me and Madison - I just wish she didn't have the gum in her mouth! The picture of Max is from the Eaglet Olympics this weekend. He takes gymnastics classes at the same gym that Madison competes for. They do this "mini-meet" every year for the kids that are not on team - it gives them a chance to show off all that they are learning! He is doing the "gymnast salute"!

Hottie ATC!

This is my other ATC for the Twilight ATC Swap that I am in. I love this picture of Rob Pattinson! I printed the picture on glossy paper, cut it and mounted it on SU B. Black and a white ATC card from Stampland Chicago. I downloaded the font so that it was Edward's "hand writing" and used SU Real Red around the edges. I love this quote from the book - he really had no idea that he "dazzles" people - at least according to Bella!

Ian as Edward!!

This is an ATC for a Twilight ATC Swap that I am in. I am so excited with how this turned out! I got my inspiration from this fantastic card by Gabby's daughter! I used my Prisma Markers to color him in. On his hair I used; Dark Umber, Sienna Brown and Goldenrod. On his clothes I used French Grey 70%, 50%, 20% and Crimson Red. I used my Copic Spica Clear Glitter pen on his face, hands and feet to make him "sparkle"!! If you are not a Twilight fan, Edward is the main vampire character! In case you haven't seen Ian before, he is made by The Greeting Farm and I used this set and this set!

Look What I Won!

I won this when Joni did the Super Saturday Challenge two weeks ago! She made this beautiful bag and card!! I love them and all of the goodies too! I got oodles of rub-ons, stamps, stickes and ribbon! Thank you so very much Joni!

Super Saturday Challenge

This is my entry for this week's Super Saturday Challenge. Gabby, Joni and Mel take turns hosting it and this week it is Gabby's turn. I haven't used my Bellas or my Prismacolor Pencils in far too long, so I pulled them out and got to work! I love the look that Gamsol gives the colored pencils - that is why I did the close up shot! Flowerbella is always a good one to use because she is so versatile! I paired her with the Stampingbella sentiment, "if friends were flowers...I'd pick you!". The pattern paper came from a 6X6 pack from SU. The flowers are Prismas, Doodlebug and Company K.
