Daisy

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. Mine was quiet, which is a blessing these days.

I am not sure what is going on with my BLOG, but you cannot leave comments on my cards. My email account is not working either. So if you want to leave me a comment go over to my Splitcoast gallery -- there is a link on the right side of my page. You can leave a comment on the cards posted there. Sorry, I am trying to get it fixed. I may have to start another BLOG.

Well this is a card that I created for my Mom for Mother's Day. I used Daisy from the Greeting Farms Stamps, and some MME DP I think it's called Tickled Pink. I colored Daisy in with my Copics. I always have a difficult time with blonde hair, but I like how this turned out -- it looks just like my mom's :)

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by!

MOJO 182 Sk8ter

I now have a MacBook Pro. Boy is this a learning curve. I am having a terrible time getting my cards to upload to my BLOG. I hope these pictures are OK.

This card is for the sketch challenge this week at the Mojo Monday Blog. I figured that this little skater dude would go well with this sketch. Boy cards are so difficult. The card looks so plain, I want to add some bling or ribbon with a bow -- but boys don't like bows. So here is my plain jane boy card -- LOL.

This is a stamp from The Greeting Farm. I purchased it to use with my new Copic Markers. I just love these markers. Coloring is so peaceful. Do you SU will ever carry Copic -- not likely huh?

Stamps: Sk8ter Ian

Inks: Not Quite Navy, Soft Suede, Early Espresso (marker)

Paper: Not Quite Navy, Confetti Cream, My Mind's Eye DP

Extras: Mat Pack, Paper Piercer, Spiral Punch, Antique Brads, Linen Thread, Copics

The inside of the card:

Featured Stamper

This week's Featured Stamper is Neva. You can see here fabulous gallery here. Neva is the Queen of combining challenges. So in her honor I did a challenge combo for her CASE. I chose her card that you can see here.

My card is for the Featured Stamper Challenge, the Color Combo Challenge, the Sketch Challenge, and the Way to Use It Challenge (all for this past week). This week, I have been struggling with each of these challenges. I created a separate card for each challenge, but all of them ended up in the trash. Well today I saw the polka dot paper in Neva's card it made me think of the polka dot paper in the Cutie Pie DP -- and that's all it took. Thanks Neva you really inspired me!!!!! Did I do you proud -- 4 challenges in one card?

Stamps: Because I Care

Inks: Bashful Blue (instead of Marnina Mist), Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Staz On Black

Paper: Bashful Blue, Rose Red, Whisper White, Cutie Pie DP

Extras: Bashful Satin Ribbon, Linen Thread, Buttons

The Inside of the Card:

Color Challenge

Not my best, but at least I am stamping again.

This is for the color challenge on SCS. The colors this week are Rose Red, Certainly Celery, and Marina Mist. I need a Sympathy card for tomorrow, so I thought I would do a quick card for the challenge.

I stamped the branch from the new Easter Blossoms set from the Mini with Staz On and then colored it in with my SU markers (rose, marina, and celery). I distressed each layer.

Thanks for stopping by!!

I thought maybe since I am the Featured stamper this week, maybe I should start stamping again. Well this is for the Monday Mojo Sketch Challenge. I think my MOJO has disappeared, but here is my card anyway. It actually looks better IRL. I guess I am going to need to practice taking photos again.

Have a great day,

WOW I am the Featured Stamper

Hi Ladies,

Guess what I am the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast this week. Imagine that -- I am as surprised as you are. It's been a while. Life has been really crazy. I have created a few cards, but have not taken pictures, so sorry. I plan to upload a few and get back into blogging, but life just seems to get in the way. Between Football and Wrestling we have no time for anything else. The boys are not in any Spring sports, so maybe I can stamp.

So Last night I went on SCS to find some ideas for a Sympathy card, and I noticed that Beth had PMed me. I looked and it was a LONG post about Featured Stampers. So I looked at the challenge this week, and guess what it was me. GASP! I never dreamed that she would pick me -- insert BIG shocked face! I never think that others will like my cards, so this is so stunning. I haven't been on SCS in a while, so what are the chances that I would be on there on this particular day. I guess God works in mysterious ways.

So I am hoping that this will inspire me to BLOG more, keep your finger crossed!!

Great Big Hugs and Smiles,

Corie
