CASE'ing Keva

Hi friends!  I am here with a card for a special challenge.  My blog friend, Keva, has a challenge on her blog to CASE a card of hers.....any card.  There's even a special something up for grabs if you play along!  Thanks Keva and Happy Blogaversary!!

Here's Keva's card..........I have had this card saved for ages.  This was the card that did me in for this PTI stamp set...Flutter By Friend.

Here's my CASE of Keva's card:

I used Keva's basic layout and her use of the sentiment from Flutter By Friend.  I added in some of those fun roses from Recollections.  I was very disappointed the other day when I went to Michael's and saw that these roses were on Clearance!  Ack!  I'm going to buy some to last me for a while!  LOL

Have a great weekend!  Busy busy with work and more baseball games! 

OTWC #52

Wow, it's been a week since I've posted!  So incredibly busy this time of year in our house.....baseball, baseball, and more baseball!  And now that my daughter is playing T-ball, we're even busier!  Back to the post today........another Off The Wall Craftiness color inspiration. 

NAUTICAL COLORS

I had so much fun with this week's colors using the newest Wilson Designs stamp set:  Nauti-Cool.

This is my favorite WD stamp set to date!  But you wait.....there is more Wilson Designs goodness to come starting next week!  Be on the lookout for the release starting on Monday with a sneak peek! 

Pretty simple but I LOVE how this turned out!  Some paper piecing with the sail using Bitty Box DP from PTI.  I wanted the "boxes" to be a bit darker and less noticable so I colored over the paper with my Copic marker.  It really made a huge difference.  Using my colorless blender, I added some polka dots to the boat!
 
This week's sponsor is...........you guessed it!  Wilson Designs
So go make a project and link it up for a chance to win some Wilson Designs stamps!

Grunge what?

This is what I thought of this set when we first saw sneak peeks of this new Grunge Me set from PTI.  Well, guess what?  This was the first set that I inked up when I opened up my new goodies!  Take a peek:

Ok, I have to confess too, that I didn't want Maile's Modern Basics set and after using just this one image from Grunge Me, has me sold.  The possibilities are ENDLESS!  I will definitely be ordering that with my next order!

I had fun making this one so I made another in a different color palette!  The middle "splat" image was stamped "off" once and then stamped in the center. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope each of you have a wonderful Easter weekend!!

I used a sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping for this one.......but jazzed it up with an EF and a PTI edger die.  Also am sending this over to Wee Memories for their challenge this week:  All Things Adorable!

CR84FN24

I thought I would share the card I made this weekend for the newest CR84FN color challenge.  I love these soft pastel colors and I wanted to use more pattern paper! 

I wanted to also use my new Paper Smooches sentiment stamp set here.  I am in LOVE with this set!!  You will be seeing more of this for sure!  Please don't peek too close as I did a bit of sewing on this to shabby it up a little.  I say this as I had a very brief inservice during my Stamping Away weekend on how to sew using an ancient sewing machine I picked up for cheap.  So this was my first attempt on a card!  Yay!  Thanks Jen and Eva for being patient with me and showing me a few things!

Here's this week's inspiration photo and color scheme from CR84FN!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Using pattern paper.........

I found this pattern paper last weekend during my girl's weekend.........Fell in love with it.  It's so mixy matchy and I love it!  I do though have problems with using pattern paper........that's just it......I need to actually USE it!  So that's where this card came in and I thought it was a bit "Mish" inspired as well!  I also used these particular papers for a challenge my friend Jen has going on over at the Papertrey Paper Dolls.  A new challenge went up and ANYONE is welcome to play along!  You can check out her challenge HERE.

When I saw this week's Tuesday Trigger over at the Moxie Fab World, I thought I should link this up!  The colors are so inspiring and I love the shabby'ness of this photo!!

OTWC #51

Today I have the next Off the Wall Craftiness challenge card for you.  What do you all think of the every 2 week's challenge vs. every week?  I kinda like it.  I think it just gives you all more time to work on your project and get it linked up!  Look at this week's inspiration photo:

I can not believe Easter is just around the corner.  I remember as a kid LOVING those marshmallow peeps and bunnies!  Now, I wouldn't eat one unless my kids dared me to!  We are planning some egg dying this weekend and some egg hunts!  Should be fun.

This week's sponsor is May Arts.....fabulous ribbon I tell 'ya.  I didn't have any that would match this card but their quality is out of this world.  Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge! 

{Happy Easter}
