Bloggers Challenge Color Challenge 210

Good morning again on another Friday. This weeks challenge was certainly that. Going through my numerous papers I didn't have any colors except the blue.

So we will start with the papers (card stock). In order to obtain the correct colors I used my Photo Shop to create the colors I wanted. Green and rose. I printed them out. I decided I wanted a cat background so thus began the search for just the right image. Then I found this one with the cats and paws...I forgot to record the name, of course it was 1:30 am by the time I found it. Now on to the image it is by Andy Bauer (digital) and the perfect saying (for me) is from TLC Creations.


Hope you all enjoy!




I hope our weekend is going to be better than the past few days....rain, sun peek, rain this is how the past few days have been! Of course I have to work today so the sun should be shining brightly.





Blessings,


Judy

Bloggers Challenge 209 Lace or Ribbon

Good Morning, Today's challenge is a bit of a stretch for me because I don't do much lace. I guess I'm a very tailored person. I don't even own a piece of clothing with lace on it! This being said : ) I really wanted to challenge myself...and before I even had read the challenge I went out and bought some lace. All I had here was 2" or wider.

Very simple card Image is from Squigglefly and it is called Jack in the Pulpit. Background is one from TJers but I can't remember the name perhaps on of you ladies knows and wouldn't mind leaving it in my comments section. I traced around the outside edge with green copics and did the same with leaves only I colored them it. I wanted the illusion of a white flower. The lace was the hardest as it took for ever for me to tie ...I'm all thumbs ...especially with wider lace.

I did a second card also because I got my Bigshot machine and of course I had to play with it!! The sentiment is a rubber stampede stamp the embossed images are Cuttlebug embossing folders. The flowers were cut out from the folder. I guess this is my ribbon challenge.



Have a great weekend and a blessed week!!

The Bloggers Challenge 208

Today's Bloggers Challenge was to to make a card or project using this sketch. I had several images in mind but decided to continue with my Spring Theme. This cute little Hedge Hog is a digi . I used the Marble Technique and also a new technique by Technique Junkies called Copic Texturizing, this was used on the pot, grass, and leaves. I wasn't too sure about the orange ribbon until I saw it actually on the card. Some how it works. Have a great and blessed week! Blessings, Judy

Bloogers Challenge Inspiration Photo 207

Ok this is what I came up with. As soon as I saw the photo I loved the tree, the way it was off to the side. Then I saw the small pictures lined up. Of course still dreaming of Spring (next week 60's) I decided to do a nature them of different words that make me think of spring...

So here you go. Digital is unknown (tree) and words are computer generated I used various SU inks and dabbed them on to give the different colors.

Thanks once again for all the comments I have received on my work this group and you ladies are awesome!

Blessings,

Judy

Blogger Challenge 206 Bird

Good Morning...well now that this card is done it is!!! LOL I didn't have time this week but I had in mind what I wanted to do. Just wasn't expecting the time and mess! This is another Pop n Stick image http://www.popnstick.blogspot.com/ and I thought it would be fun to use it for Easter. Her hat was a little too plain so out came the punches and after trying different thing this is what I came up with! Also don't use lace very much so this was a challenge too. The background is a new one from the latest Technique Junkie http://www.techniquejunkies.com/ news letter and it is called Blended Blotches. I had a horrible time with my pencils so I had to revert to crayons (watercolor of course). Instead of using my water brush with water I used it with Irridescent Medium so it has a sparkle to it. Doesn't show it the picture too much. Pigeon was colored with copics Well that's it for today! Have a great and blessed week! Judy

Bloggers Challenge Challenge Sketch 205

Here it is Friday again! Almost didn't make it but I had a little time on Thursday and so here is my card.
I love to stay as close to the sketch as possible...actually this challenges me more than rearranging things. I did however have to move the image over a bit.
I just giggled and giggled when I saw this image on Free Digital Stamps. It is by Pop n Stick..papers are by DCW purchased at Joanns.
Hope he makes you giggle too...it is snowing here right now and I keep thinking if I keep making Spring cards Mother Nature will get the message! Smile

Have a great weekend and a blessed week...
Judy

Bloggers Challenge 204 Spring Flower

I'm not sure if roses are spring or summer...but I'm going to pretend because I love roses and love this image!

The image I found on Crafter's Digital Art Center. I don't know exactly who designed it.

Once again colored with Copics and punch is by Fiscars and reminds me of a trellis that I have my roses growing on. The layers are also raised up to give it a 3D look.

Thanks for stopping by and please pray for Japan!

Blessings,

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 203 Birthday

Happy Friday everyone. For the Birthday challange I made this card for a boy. The background is done with an oldie but goodie using marbles. It is fun and noisy to make and I love the effect!
I colored the image (sorry I don't know who's it is) with Copic Markers (maybe I should just mention when I color with another medium)...what can I say love my copics!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,
Judy

Bloggers Challenge 202

Here is my card for this weeks challenge. I used White, peach and teal.
Colored with my copic markers and I used the Technique Junkies Clipped Corners on the image. There is a piece of lace on the right hand side (in the scan it is hard to see) and a row of tiny pearls

Image is by Digital Stamps for Joy.

Have a beautiful weekend everyone.

Blessings,
Judy

The Bloggers Challenge

This had been scheduled to post on it's own but that never happened! So here I am on my first sip of coffee trying to redo the post. Hopefully this will be readable when I'm done....

When I saw the sketch, oh my, I'm not good at these semi circle things...and it usually takes me forever to make one and lots of paper. I only had a small piece of this paper that someone sent me a long time ago but I thought it would be pretty for this sketch. Said a little prayer and voila here it is!! While looking for a sentiment I found this one and feeling very blessed (yes even over a small piece of paper) I decided it would be perfect. The sentiment is from TLC and the punch used is Martha Stewart. The edges were cut with my craft scissors.

Have a great weekend...it's raining here (at least not snow) so maybe it will be a good day to play in my craft room!

As always thanks for stopping by and all your wonderful comments are so much appreciated.

Blessings,

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 200 Emboss Me

This week I needed a card for my Pastor. So I used the SU Lighthouse set for the main image. I then used the Neutral Shadows from this months TJ Newsletter which calls for the image to be embossed.
Then I used Tempting turquoise and stazon grey to highlight around the image. I then used an other TJ Tech called Rounded Corners. I stamped a few seagulls directly onto the card. One I stamped on scrap grey and cut out and placed in the rounded corner space. Lastly I used Whisped Frame also a Tech from TJ.

This was a fun card and all techs are very easy so it made for a fast card....but also a very classy card if I say so myself!

Have a wonderful weekend and stamp your hearts out!! Spring is just around the corner.

Blessings to all,
Judy

Love Theme Bloggers Challenge BC 199

Here is this weeks card. There were such cute cards last week with birds that I had to do one this week. Plus I went shopping at Michaels and they had a lot of things on clearance. The Paper here is from s.e.i. and the original price I think was $19.99 and I got it for $5.99, such a deal! I picked up a blue packet and a pink packed. It was so springy, and do I ever need that!
Image is from Cat's Scrap Fever (digital) and flower is cuttlebug. Large scalloped edge is a punch by Uchida and the small one I had to cut by hand.
With copics, the bird is colored a pale blue and the perch and bottom light yellow. Both have Whisped Frame.
This is truly a quick and easy card!!!!
Thanks again for stopping by and leaving all the comments on my art...it is appreciated more than you know.

Blessings to all!
Judy

Bloggers Challenge Red/White/Black

When ever I think of these three colors I think of Silhouettes so here is my card.
This is a very bright red IRL looks more pink here.
The digital image is from TLC Creations and I edited to make it a silhouette. Cut out are Spellbinders.
Another easy card!

Have a blessed day and weekend!

Hi All,

Here is my Birthday themed card for The Bloggers Challenge...I did get a new printer and although it seems to scan beautifully the colors are not as vibrant as they really are.

I can't remember whose digital this is but it sure is a cutie! Once again and most of the time this was colored with my copic markers..the license plate reads Happy B-Day and was computer generated.

Have a great weekend and blessings to all!!
Judy

Good Friday Morning,

I made my first Tea Bag Template which was featured on Gingersnap Creations. This was for their new Random Readhead Challenge GC87.

Our challenge at Bloggers Challenge this week was to use Patterened Papers so I used American Crafts Paper. I Heart you series.

All the Hearts were punched with my Uchida heart punch and words were computer generated.

Have a great and Blessed weekend!!!

Bloggers Sketch and The Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenges

Hi All,

I just love this image by Mo's Digital Pencil! I did it once before for a birthday card.

I think hanging out with my girls is one of the most relaxing things to do. They love to get one on either side of me and I just sit a pat them!! Since they are Jack Russels I certainly can't crawl up and sleep on them but quite often while patting them I fall asleep...now that is relaxed!
Papers used are from DCWV "The Pet Stack" . Once again I used my Copic Markers to color the image. The Heart was computer generated. As always thanks for stopping by, can't wait to see what everyone else does with this challenge!!

Blessings,

Judy

The Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenge

Just a quick add here...this was actually done for an ATC swap where I picked reading as my theme. Hopefully neither of my partners will see it here on my blog...they don't usually check it out. I just finished them today!!

I took an image from Liams Pictures of old Books. I then distressed the edges to make it look like a fraying book...sanded the image a little and added a little distress ink. When I saw this challenge I thought what a perfect image to use.

Thanks for stopping by I appreciate all my blog buddies sooooooo much!!

Blessings,

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 194

This weeks Bloggers Challenge was to use yellow green and brown. I still had some of this green out from Christmas and the paper ribbon. So I decided to work around them. I saw this image on Elizabeth Dulemba's coloring pages as her free digital for Tuesday.
I thought it would work good with the green, yellow and brown. I used my copic markers to color the picture and instead of using a circular motion on the large bear I used straight lines. I wanted it to appear shaggier. The background was done with a TJ technique called Cuttlebug Smoosh.
Thanks for stopping by hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are enjoying a wonder start to the New Year!!!

Blessings,
Judy

Well It's Bloggers Day!

Well here is my card for this challenge. I found this image on the internet and I just loved it. I used to have several Precious Moments figurines but I loaned them to my mom. When she passed away I don't know what happened to them.

So I was thrilled when I found the web site. The site is actually doverpublicatoins.com and look for coloring books.

He was colored with copics markers and I used a Whisped frame from Technique Junkies.

Well since this will be my last post I want to wish and my friends in blogland, groups, swaps, and just all the people who share in wishing a Happy Birthday Jesus a Happy Christmas!!

No matter what Holiday you may be celebrating I wish you all Happiness and Joy in celebrating your Holiday!!!

Much love, blessings and prayers,

Judy
