Make Something Monday # 13

Well, it is Monday again and that always means the end to the weekend.
But, it also means we have another challenge over at
 
Where Art Meets Life
 
Last week we asked you to use a doily and we had some great entries.
Thanks to everyone that played along and but the one entry that
really stood out was from
 
Dian
 
 
 
Her graduation card was awesome.
Those flowers and how she used a doily was perfect.
Thanks Dian for sharing with us.
Stop by her blog and check out all her great creations.
 
 
This week we want you to SPARKLE !!
Yea, show us your bling !!
Sequins, Rhinestones and Glitter
 
For my creation I got out the glitter and my stamps.
 
 
I stamped my image with Black Staz-on ink and then got out
all my pretty glitter bottles.
 
I used glossy accents and filled in the flowers and sprinkled glitter on them.
I wanted it to look like a drawing so I didn't worry about full coverage.
I used copic markers on the leaves and stems.
Last , but not least I added some bling and stamped me a sentiment and
tied some ribbon.
Cute, quick little card !!
 
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to enter our challenge over at

Susan also has a cute card to share with you  !!

Make Something Monday # 12

Good Morning !!
I sure hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to face the work week.
We had an awesome fly-in for my husbands remote control airplanes.
We had great weather and turnout.
Last week at Where Life Meets Art we asked you to
Use a Mask or Stencil and we had seven (7) beautiful entries.
We want to thank everyone and feature this card from
 
Piali Baswas
 
 
Great use of a mask. Your color combo really pops on this card.
Thank you for sharing your card with us.
 
Now for this week we want you to....
Use a Doily !!
 
You can use a doily that you bought, cut from a machine or just stamped.
We just want to see one on your project.
 
For my project I used a store bought doily on my layout.
This wasn't what I was going to share this week, but sometimes
project just do not deserve to be featured and if you
saw the card I made last night you would understand.
So, I had this layout in an album I am working on and I decided to share it instead.


 
This doily has been in my stash for awhile and it brought the layout
together really well. With the pop of white your eyes are carried
around the page.
 
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to hop on over to Susan's blog
 
 
and join our challenge this week.

This is the cutiest image Linda

This week we want you to use a Stencil or Mask.
 
For my project I made a scrapbook page with Mr Huey's mask.
This is one of my favorite mask I have and I really use it a lot.
 
 
I laid my stencil down and used my dapper to paint on my page.
Then I added some silver glitter before it dried.


 
Then I used my black pen to draw some doodle lines


 
I only used a small portion of my stencil but it has a lot of possibilities.

Make it Monday # 10

Monday again !!
I sure hope everyone had a great weekend.
We didn't have any entries into our sketch challenge last week
but we are not giving up yet.
This week we want you to create something with these two colors

Green and Gold

 
 
So, for my project I had to whip together a quick card.
I have worked all weekend so this one is going to be simple.
 
 
The Gold, star embossed paper is from The Paper Studio.
I picked this pack of paper up at Hobby Lobby and when I got it home
I really liked the diffent kinds of embossed paper.
 
I added the ribbon and took green string and tied it in the middle
and placed a button.
The swirls were cut with a Sizzix die on my Big Shot.
Stamped my sentiment with black ink.
Not anything big this week but hey, I lost a hour of sleep with
the time change and boy do I miss it !! LOL
 
Thanks for stopping by and please go over to
Where life meets Art and join the challenge
I'm sure Susan has something to share today too.

This week I have been working on a few little brag books for
the lady at work to put her new grand baby's pictures in.
These little books are so easy and the inside pages are made from
one 12 x 12 sheet of paper.

Make Something Monday # 9

Good Morning !!
Last week we were so excited to have 11 entries. 
They were all so awesome but we could only pick one to win.
 
That winner is Marilyn
 
 
 
You did an awesome job !!
Your coloring on the little mice are just too cute !!
Make sure you stop by and claim your prize with Susan
over at Where Life Meets Art.
 
Now for this week we want you to use a sketch. This sketch
came from Shawn over at Nuts About Sketches
Make sure you stop by her blog and check out all her sketches.
 

 
 
My layout with this sketch started with a picture of me and my daughter Lauren.
We were kidding around, as usual, at the restaurant and someone snapped our picture.
 
The background paper was distressed and mounted on white card stock.
Crate Paper is one of my favorite paper line so all the paper is from that line.
 
The burlap and ribbon was perfect for this layout.
Oh, and I actually got my sewing machine our and stitched a few things down.
Every time I get it out I love the results don't know
why I don't get it our more.


The purple is just acrylic paint that I dipped my paintbrush in.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop
over at Susan's blog to join in the fun challenge.
