Bloggers Challenge 178

Good Morning,

Well it's Friday and that means another Bloggers Challenge. This Friday is Give Thanks...and I thought this time I'd do a Happy Thanksgiving, but a little more

on the traditional theme, to wish all my Blogger friends Happy Thanksgiving.

I love these shades of green it is one of my favorite colors. I mostly use the brighter greens at Christmas time.

No coloring here I didn't think it needed any. The image is by TLC Creations and the sentiment is computer generated.

So until next Friday I wish all you Bloggers a Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving All and may your Blessings be Bountiful!

Deck the Halls The Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenge 5

Two great challenges in a row!!! I love the sound of Christmas Bells this time of year. So I always decorate with bells somewhere. The tree windows any where they can be poked and ring away.

Once again colored with Copic Markers and the image is by Imag-E-nation digital stamps. http://imag-e-nation.com and look for Just Inklined Christmas images.

The berries were colored then Stickle's red glitter was applied.

Thanks again Vicki http://cheerfulstamppad.blogspot.com (if you would like to see what everyone is doing) for another wonderful challenge.

Squigglefly Challenge 75 sentiment

Okay so you said sentiment only but I just couldn't resist using the paw print digital paper too. They just go together...so hope this is okay!

The digital paper is by Squigglefly as is the sentiment. You can find this challenge at http://squigglefly.blogspot.com/. Only stipulation is that that you use a Squigglefly sentiment...now how simple can that be. You could win a free image and spellbinders to but don't trust this rusty old brain go take a look!!! Bones are one of those mini punches. By the way the card is white hard to tell in the pic!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.....

Blessings,

Judy

Give Thanks

I saw this picture on a Christian Clipart that I belong to and it just reminded me of my granddaughter Jessi when she was smaller. She's a little older now. I think she is eight going on thirty. They live in IL and she called me the other night to inform me she was making a quilt by hand!

I think this came out really cute as a card but I think I may take it a set further and make it into a picture.

Image uses the Out of the Box Tech which was published in Technique Junkies Newsletter. Colored with Copic and Flowers are from a Background Paper by Coreen Silke.

Thanks for stopping by... I will be back to play in the Bloggers Challenge this week...can't wait to see what everyone has done for the November theme. Me it's all about food!!! LOL Just kidding I have a lot to be thankful for...but as usual I think of Thanksgiving which makes me think of turkey which makes me think about food!

Blessings,
Judy

Bloggers Challenge 177

Hi Everyone...This was such a fun Image done by Elizabeth O Dulemba. She not only does illustrations but is also the author of children's books. She does coloring book size images. Check her out at http://www.dulemba.com/ a lot of her images have to do with reading.

Next I did Torn Frame, from Technique Junkies Newsletter and faux hand made paper as seen on Gingersnaps Creations I forgot who posted it but it is great, simple easy, and makes a cool background. Last but definitely not least is my new Janome Mini sewing machine. I got it when they had a big blow out sale. I must admit having made most of my clothes and children's when I was younger this is sure one little power house. I used to have to pull my huge Kenmore out when ever I wanted to use stitching on cards or do a repair....but no more!!! My granddaughter even made two pillows using this machine! As part of home schooling we do sewing and other crafts. Okay enough right? Do you think I like my new little machine!!! LOL

When ever I think about November I think Thanksgiving and then I think of the poor turkey!!! So I always try to find an image that shows his plight!! This one was perfect!

Bloggers challenge 174 and 175

Talk about being a little behind!!! First is my reuse...recycle I used a clock I disliked for the kitchen. Had DH cut it into a square. I saw one made with images of coffee and thought how perfect. Here is what I came up with. Squares are from Sunshine Artz and are called Daily Joy. They were perfect for what I wanted. Then came the cup not so easy..I was all over looking for a digital coffee cup and after many hours I found one. It was perfect as it was already the perfect color!!! Only thing I did was to attach the squares and hi light them in blue. Used all part from the clock.

Next is my Halloween I sent this card to two great friends. I'm not a Halloween person but for these special ladies I made an exception. Spider web is purple glitz as is the witches (gold) shoe buckles.. All digital images from various artists!!!

Also need to apologize for not responding to everyones work but this is the first time I've really been on here in over a week. I have all emails 400+ and will try to address them all tomorrow.

Bloggers Challenge 173 Black white and Orange

Very simple card today. Once more I needed a card for a man's birthday so this is what I came up with.

Image is by Victorine Originals and the orange was done with copic markers. I like the effect it has against the silhouette figure. It makes for a very easy card but with impact. Happy Birthday is computer generated.

Have a great weekend!!

Blessings,
Judy

Bloggers Challenge 172 October Sketch

I fell in love with this image which of course is another digital! This was listed this week on Freebie Digital Stamps Blog http://freebiedigitalstamps.blogspot.com (this is a site that lists freebies everyday they hunt them down and then post them for us happy digi stampers. The stamp is by Beccy of http://beccysplace.blogspot.com. I just loved all the miss-matched items which made it so much fun to color. My GD picked out the layout color combinations. She has a pretty good eye. Once again I used Copics to color the image.

Hope you enjoy my card and thank you for looking...can't wait to see what all you other bloggers come up with.

Blessings,

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 171 Anniversary

This weeks challenge was for an Anniversary Card....I'm not one for cherubs but these two just caught my eye and they are so adorable that I just had to use them for this challenge. They are a digital stamp by http://createwithtlc-creatwithtlc.blogspot.com If you have never been there check it out...great freebies and awesome vintage digitals.

Next I used two TJ'S techniques one is Wisped Frame and the other I can't remember the name. I used UTE and froze it to give it a cracked look. Doesn't show in picture but it it really great. Colored with Copics. Used Martha Stewart paper punch for embellishments.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone and be blessed...I know I am. I will probably post my kitchen next week as it it really coming along...still a lot to do but it's at least past the embarrassment stage!!!

Bloggers Challenge 170

I made a B-Day card for my Dad today and just realized it would work for the bloggers challenge. I used paint chips for the background!!! I also used another one for the background of the words! So I guess this is a reuse.

Chef is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps colored with copics. Technique is Out of the Box from Technique Junkies Verse is my own. Inside it says "the chef didn't show up so you'll just have to eat my cooking."

Thanks for stopping by and even though I'm late posting I did it!!!

Blessings,

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 169

Well here it is Friday again...and another bloggers challenge is due...I did two this time because I needed a card for a young boy and think one was quite right. The first card is the one I sent to the teenager and inside it says after all it is your birthday.

The second one is from FCD and I just love this image. I actually glazed both the jar and candy apple and raised the candle up to give it a 3D look. It came out great I was afraid I would get a lot of bubbles especially with the jar but since switching to Inkssenditials Glossy Accents I have had very little problem with bubbles.

Both cards are colored with what else but Copics...gotta start playing with more mediums.

Thanks for stopping by it off to church now for prayer night!

many blessings to you all

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 168

Good morning it has been a while again!

Have had a lot of personal stuff going on and getting ready for another year of homeschooling my Granddaughter. She's in 8th grade now and it's a little tougher than last year. Feel like I'm going back to school myself!!!

It felt so good to make a card again...

Love this beautiful image and paper that I made my card out of!!! First the image is from Angels Landing and the paper is from Tlc Creations both are digital. Once again I used my favorite Copic Markers and I am very pleased with the results!! This just feels like fall to me...today it is in the 50's so even the weather is fallish...life is good!

have a wonderful and blessed weekend!!

Judy

Bloggers Challenge 162

Here is my card for the Bloggers Challenge 162. The challenge this week was to use Black and White with one other color. First when I think of black and white I think silhouette therefore my image is a silhouette. This was a freebie but I'm not sure what company it was part of a set of four images, heads of women. Then I think red...

Everything on this card is digital. The background paper is by Bugaboo and also was a freebie. http://buggaboodigitalstamps.com/ (she's having a 50% off all stamps and today is the last day). Missing You computer generated.

Easy card once I got everything together.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Blessings,

Judy

Gingersnap Challenge GC64 Red, Yellow, Orange

Good Afternoon...another hot muggy day here in RI...So I might as well stay cool and play in my craft room. Too hot to do housework and told DH that and he just rolled his eyes...so what if we have air!!!

Well here is one for Gingersnap Creations...and I'll tell you I had so much fun making this. All it started with was a Hot Air Balloon and colors red, yellow, orange. I transformed it into this masterpiece!!! LOL I'm going to enter it in two the GC 64 red, yellow, and orange, and the GC 61 heat seeing as it has a sun....okay so I'm stretching it but it sure is hot here because of the sun!!!

Digital Stamp is by Birds Cards and was a freebie. The papers came from (striped) a package of Halloween paper (cover long gone) same with the background but I'm sure that they were purchased at Joann"s

That's it for now!!! Have to go clean the kitchen so I can cook supper!

Blessings,

Judy

Monday Lunchtime Challenge 132

Okay let's see if I can do better this week. I had everyone confused including myself last week. I had the two challenges listed on this group mixed up...not once but at least two times.

This week I printed out the challenges and hung them above my crafting desk!!! This challenge is on Techno Stamper. I love this sketch and I hope you all like the card I came up with. To see original sketch go to http://technostamper.blogspot.com/.

This card uses a Technique Junkie technique for the first layer. The second layer and image layer uses a free digital stamp. I wish I could remember by what company but when I first started collecting digitals I didn't realize the companies don't always list there names on them. I had accumulated quite a few. If anyone recognizes it please let me know and I will add it...I really want to give the artist credit.

The image was colored with watercolor crayons on watercolor paper. Flowers are a punch by All night media.

Thanks again for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

Blessings,

Judy

Get Well Card

Today's card is going to cover two Challenges Techno Stamper's Lunchtime Sketch, TSSC131. http://technostamper.blogspot.com/and Sassy Cheryl's Cut Out Challenge, Challenge 21. http://sassycheryls.blogspot.com/ It might also pass for TJ out of the box!!

This took a long time to make but was worth it in the end. The image is from Sassy Cheryl's images and it is called Healing Hands. Now all I need is for someone to be sick!! NOT!! The layout using Penny Lane papers same as yesterday...can you tell I like it? These are two of my favorite color combinations. Also it was on sale and I bought a ton of it! Well maybe 10 pcs 12 x 12 all they had left.

Coloring as usual is Copic Markers and the punch is by Martha Stewart.

Hope you all like it.

If you visited my blog lately somehow the word identification got turned on (probably with the upgrade) and hopefully it is turned off now. If it is still on for any reason please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by again I am really blessed to have so many friends stop by so please leave a little love so I know you were here!!!

Blessings,

Judy

word for the day: God is great and greatly to be praised!!!

Today's Challenge

Today's challenge is a new one for me. I've been going to do this one for a long time but never seemed to time it right.

This one is a sketch challenge and it is brought to us by Techno Stamper (Mary Jo), this is my first time to play here. If you wish to see the original sketch you can find it here. http://technostamper.blogspot.com/ .

The stamp is a digital from Digital Two for Tuesday and here is where you can find these digitals. http://digitaltuesday.blogspot.com/ they offer great freebies.

Background papers are by Deena's Penny Lane. Used TJ Whisped Frame (one of my favorites) on both image and flowered background. Technique Junkies can be found here. http://techniquejunkies.com/ . I also used Inkssnetials Glossy Accents by Ranger. It really shows up in the scan and is quite cool giving the card a little dimensions.

Well guess that's it have a great Tuesday and a blessed week!!!

Judy
