Challenge masters-April challenges

Hello, it's a beautiful day here in eastern PA, and it's my oldest's birthday! So shortly we'll be heading off to her party. Until then I thought I'd share a couple of cards I did for challenges over at CHALLENGE MASTERS. They have a ton of groups to join in on, so if you haven't checked them out you really should- http://www.challengemasters.ning.com/

The first one is for the April color challenge and was to include: yellow, blue, spring green, and grass green. Supplies used were: cardstock:bazzill; rub-ons:basic grey; alphas: thickers; stickers: Heidi Grace; crocheted flower: other and mesh was magic mesh. Yes-- I dug deep in my stash for that one! Trying to use up some old stuff.

Next was the challenge for the April card challenge and it was to be a Mother's Day card with 2 layers, at lest one flower, a swirl and some glitter or stickles. The colors were turquoise, white, yellow, and light green. The supplies I used were cardstock: Bazzill; patterned paper: American Crafts; flowers: Prima; letter stickers: Making Memories; swirl: Prima; butterflies: K & Company. I used a light touch of stickles on the butterflies.

Thanks for looking- off to take birthday pics. Have a great day

Spring has sprung!

Oh! My, have I been a bad blogger. Sorry about that, I had no idea that so much time had lapsed. We've been busy with family business here. My oldest daughter had her heart surgery (very successfully) though, she's now having severe migraines, so wish us luck with that, and my dear sister-in-law has lost her battle with cancer. So we're hoping to be moving on to better times here.

I thought I'd share a picture of some of the flowers out the front of our house. Hopefully the warmer weather is here to stay. I'll be back later this week with some things I've done for CHALLENGE MASTERS.

Thanks for looking, .....Hugs,

Brigitte

Challenge Masters Color Challenge

Happy Friday everyone! We're having yet another snow day here. My girls are mad because I won't let them go sledding, one has pneumonia and the other a cold. What's a mom to do? At least they can still play with the neighbor girl, and I can work on scrappy stuff.

I wanted to share a card I made for the color group challenge over at Challenge Masters http://www.challengemasters.ning.com/ It's a great site, lots to take part in. Our colors to use for this particular challenge were fire, blush, chocolate, and vanilla. They were taken from a beautiful picture in a Pottery Barn catalog.

Supplies I used were: card stock-Bazzill, patterned paper-Imaginisce (polka dots and stripes), The sentiment sticker is from K & Company, leaf and bling -Prima, and Stickles. I also used some ink on the crinkled brown circle and the rim of the card.

Thanks for looking, off to clean the fish tank(blah!!) and hopefully make some more cards to send out. Have a great day enjoying whatever weather your having.

Page maps challenge

Hello, and happy Monday morning to you! It's sunny here today, we're supposed to get rain/snow later, so I'll enjoy the sun for now. Today I'd like to share a LO I did for Page Maps. www.pagemaps.com/blog.php Every month they send out fantastic sketches to play along with. This month the prize is given from Scrapdango. You can check them out here --http://www.scrapdango.com/ A very nice place with great kits. My LO is 8 1/2 x 11, which I don't normally do, but I enjoyed a change. The pics are of my daughters in my nieces wedding. The papers are from GCD Studios, ATD Story of Us.I know you can't tell, but they are pearlized-very pretty. The bird I cut out using my Slice, still loving it! The alpha stickers are foam, by Thickers--of course. The flower is Prima, journal paper is Making Memories and I used Stickles for the birds eye. I can't for the life of me remember who makes the background card stock- the black that is glossy embossed, if you know, maybe you could remind me. Well, I better run, gotta walk the dog and get to work. Thanks for looking, have a great day!

Challenge Masters

Happy Valentine's Day! I thought I'd share a Valentine's card I made for a challenge over at Challenge Masters. They have a terrific site, lots of groups to pick from. You can check it out at http://www.challengemasters.ning.com/ Well, gonna go spend some time with my sweeties, hope you have a good one.

Valentine's project

One more day! The kids are itching to know what they're getting. We always do something little, this year they are each getting a book. I still need to make a card for them, I guess I better get on that! I thought I'd show a small project I did. I used 8 x 8 paper, then used the heart punch by fiskars for the border on the black. I don't know the manufacturers, it's paper I've had around for a long time. Then I used my slice to make a bunch of 1 inch hearts, which I crinkled with a pencil before attaching to the scalloped heart -also done on the slice. Lastly I added a small Prima flower and pearls. I got the inspiration from a woman named Sue, check her blog on the right-it's called of photos and paper. She is superbly talented! Mine's a little different than hers, but I'm pleased with the end results. Well, I better get going , housework needs to get done today. Thanks for looking.

Whoa! That's alot of snow!!

We've gotten 42 inches of snow in the last five days! The kids( and the dog) are having a wonderful time, as far as me and my hubby go, not as much. Lots of shoveling! But it was a beautiful site.I felt like we awoke to a land of marshmallow fluff! As you can imagine there has been no school. The girls were disappointed that it was cancelled again today, because they miss their Valentines party. Hopefully they can have it on Tuesday. I hope so too, I made treats for the teachers and bus driver. That's what the first pic is. The rest are obvious, snow!!!Thanks for looking, I'll be back with challenges I did for Page Maps and Challenge Masters.See you then!
