Queen for the day #171 and Dynamic Duos #60

Good Morning to all my crafty friends,

We are having a beautiful day, the sun is shining! We have a fun filled day with story time at the library, play date with great friends and then a sleep over at Oma & Opa's while I take a copic class. My four year old giggled when I told her I was going to a class to learn how to color. :)

Any ways I have a card to show you. Thats why your here right? ok here it is...

 

My inspiration for this card came from two sources. Dynamic Duos #60 (colors are Summer Starfruit and Gumball Green) and the Queen for the Day challenge.

Faith has a great gallery and this is the card of her's that I choose to honor her time as Queen.

Thanks so much for taking a look and leaving a comment.

Opa turns 65 years old!

Used kraft paper for the base of card. Tractor is cut out with Cricut Cartridge called "BEEP, BEEP" using black and real red from SU and some shiny silver from Michaels for the grill, fender and hubs.

Opa is a huge Case lover so the inside reads, "if it's not red keep it in the shed"

 

and this card was created at our monthly stamin up meeting. Here's the link to Trish's blog with the orginal card. I left the flower off and inked up so chipboard numbers. Having some computer issues so it's posted on its side.

wishing you a very happy birthday

 

 Playing around with some DSP and the stripes embossing folder. Sentiment is from Verve Stamps.

 

Freshly Made Sketches #89

Ok so I'm a little late to post on the challenge but I love the sketch and had to share my take on it.

Here's the sketch:


And here's my card:

Grad card for Mac!

Feels like just yesterday the first great grandchild on my fathers side was born. And now here he is graduating from high school and getting ready to set off on the next adventure of his life. Studying to become a paramedic. And because he lives three provinces away I need to get this in the mail ASAP.

The card sketch is over at Freshly Made Sketches this week. I was so inspired by Allisa's card with the banner in the top corner I followed her layout. The black dotted paper is from Bo Bunny (Natural Necessities Double Dot Designs) the grey paper is from the amazing Dream Pop paper pack from Close to my Heart. The hat stamp is from SU Sketch an Event (2002) and the Congrats is from CTMH Kudos.

Close ups:

I used some premade cards & envelopes from Reflections, Stampin up DSP pack, old olive paper and ink, cherry cobbler ink and some red gems to match. My Christmas card stash is up to 26 now thanks so much to this fantastic challenge.

For Bonnie - Our Queen of the Day!

Queen of the Day is one of my favorite challenges over at Splitcoast. This week Bonnie is our Queen and here's a link to her beautiful gallery of cards.

I had the hardest time picking a card to cas, after many minutes I finally picked this one to case:


And here is my take on it:

I tried so hard to use papers for this card but I just couldn't get things to co-ordinate. So I used Honeyomb Flair from Close to My Heart. Also love love love the hollycock zipper ribbon. The other stamps used are from Unity Stamps.

Here's a peek at the inside of the card:
