Poetic Artistry Challenge #6


This card is for Poetic Artistry Challenge #6. Julee aka Shadowcatcher has a weekly "Mojo Monday" challenge and here is my attempt. Everything except the base, is from my scrap pile. *The base card is Bazzill Pink Cardstock and the stamp and sentiment are by Whipper Snapper. The ink is Palette's Black and I used my Prismacolor Pencils with OMS and my one Copic marker to outline the image. I also applied Crystal Stickles around the candles. Thank you for stopping by:)

I've been tagged!

I have been tagged by Scrapnmo of Dailyscrappinspiration and Marlou of Scrapingwithlove. I have to tell 7 facts about myself and tag seven others,make a link to their post and let them know that they have been tagged!

1. I am a gadget type girl, I love having the "latest and greatest" gadget but I don't always give-in to the temptation to buy though.

2. I have a "thing" for purses and perfume!

3. I like sporty type cars but I'm not a fast driver.

4. I always thought of myself as a "girly girl" type but when I worked for GM, I spent 10 of my 26 yrs. there running a machine. Once I learned how to change tools and gage the parts, it was one of my favorite jobs!

5. I re-read my favorite books, I swear I always come across something I didn't see before!

6. I can't stand to walk bare footed...yuk!

7. I like to play bingo!

Now I have to tag 7 others. I will tag Rita, Jana, Gail, Beth, and I have to name three other people. It seems like everyone I know is already tagged.......

Silly Penguins for JBWW Challenge


I woke up this morning eager to make a card, I didn't feel "so hot" yesterday and could not focus on anything. Anyhow, I feel a lot better today and decided to make a winter themed card. It has been unseasonably warm in Michigan lately(upper 80's!) I decided to stamp the penguin trio from my Cats Pajamas Clearly Swanky Set for Sherry and Jeanne's JBWW Challenge. As a stamp, the penguins are a trio but I decided to make them individuals. I cut out and trimmed each penguin and used my markers to color in their caps. I applied yellow,green and blue Stickles to match their caps and used Liquid Pearls on the tips of the caps. I mounted the penguins onto a scalloped rectangle,that had brads to match the caps and used May Arts Ribbon to embellish. The sentiment is from The Cats Pajamas also.

cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) and Bazzill (Baby Blue)
inks: Palette (Black) and Prismacolor Markers
ribbon: May Arts
stamp: The Cats Pajamas
sentiment: The Cats Pajamas
tools: Marvy's scallop rectangle punch (mega size)and my paper pierce tool
embellishments: Stickles Glue (Blue, Yellow and Green colors)and Liquid Pearls (White) The brads are from Making Memories and are in the regular size and the mini size.
