Happy Monday! I'm running late and I forgot to upload this earlier. So this will have to be short and sweet. Here is the card I made for my son to give his daddy on Father's Day. My small man is a typical little boy who loves cars and trucks so this Luka image from La-La Land Crafts was perfect! I'm entering it in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC109).
Thanks for looking! XX

So, I'm back as promised, though a tad later than I'd like, with my post for sketch #100 over at the priscillastyles Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. I love when I can use one of Priscilla's images on my creations made with her sketches, as I was able to do here. I just happened to visit the shop to take a peek at what was new and found Slot Mama. She was just what I was looking for! I, of course, chose the fancy version of the sketch to work with. It allowed me to add the pretty BoBunny flowers that match my paper.
Well, it is late here and it's already been a busy weekend! I'm off to bed so the Easter Bunny can visit. But I'll be back in the morning with a new Corrosive Challenge! Happy Easter!

Hello again! What a busy day this has been! I made two cards, participated in two party blogs, went on two blog hops, and wrote three blog posts! It has been an eventful day full of my favorite things - my son, shopping, and card making! I finally gave in to temptation and purchased a few Copic markers! I got mostly skin tone colors to start, but now I'm wishing I had some for hair as well. No, what I'm really wishing is I'll have a sudden windfall of cash so I can buy all 346 colors at once! Haha! A girl can dream, right?
Anywho... I love the Midnight Madness sketches so when I can I try to play along. Despite the crazy week I've had, I did manage to participate this week. Though you're not required to use a priscillastyles image in order to play along, I did. And why wouldn't you? They are such a value for the price! I received six different version of this Bulldog image with my purchase!
I wasn't sure at first that I was going to be able to coordinate MMSC94 to work with this image, but it just came together and I really like the way it turned out. The fun designer paper is a new stack from DCWV. The bling is Prima and the buttons are Stampin' Up to match my card stock. I'm not sure any self-respecting bulldog would wear a party hat... But, in this case, it just had to be done! It IS a birthday card after all!
Thanks for looking, and for all your much appreciated comments!

Welcome to my first Corrosive Challenge design team post! I know my official start date is next week, but I am just so excited that they let me post my work on the blog starting with this week's challenge! The theme for this Sunday is Distressing! I always feel slightly guilty when I crumple, rip, sand, stain or ink perfectly good card stock, but I have to say the results can add a wonderful element to your card, especially if you are going for the shabby chic or vintage look. I find myself admiring these styles in others' cards so often, but I had rarely attempted them until recently. The card I've made for today's challenge definitely qualifies! I used an image from "priscillastyles" called Rose Corset for my creation. I also opted to use her sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. There are always two versions to chose from: regular or fancy. For MMSC92, I went with the fancy one which had a couple of additional embellishments on it. You don't have to use a "priscillastyles" image on your project to play along, but I have been wanting to use this lovely corset digi for some time so what better time than now?! lol
I distressed the heck out of my Creamy Caramel panel. First, I sanded it. Then I crumpled and ripped the edges. Followed by a generous spritzing of Walnut Ink antiquing solution. And finally, I sponged some Chocolate Chip ink around the edges. I think the finished product has the look of old parchment. I paper pieced the corset image using some fabulous paper from K&Company called ancestry.com. (The background one is from the same collection.) I colored the roses with my Prismacolor Art Markers and popped up the larger bunch on some 3D dots. For finishing touches I added some black velvet trim, black organdy ribbon, a mulberry paper flower, punched branches, and adhesive pearls. This card is for my friend who is having a birthday next weekend. Inside I added a computer generated sentiments that says "Of Corset's Your Birthday!" She'll get a kick out of it because once upon a time (before my little guy arrived and I actually went out and had a social life! lol) we might have gone out on the town in something very similar!
Thanks for stopping by to take a peek and as always I treasure each and every comment left for me on my work.

It has been a CRAZY week! I have been so busy making cards for sneak peeks and new release day over at Sassy Studio Designs that I still haven't finished my Valentine's Day cards. (I guess I need to get on that within the next 24 hours, huh? lol) I always do say procrastination is an art form! I actually have one card to share with you now, though.... It was commissioned by one of my co-workers for his wife. I had free reign to create whatever I wanted, but when I saw this image from Priscilla Styles I just knew I had to use it! This digital set is called "Man With" and comes with four different versions of the man plus sentiments. It can be found here in the Priscilla Styles shop. I also decided that the sketch from this week's Midnight Madness challenge (MMSC90) would serve me well. I opted for the "fancy" version, though I did leave off one of the elements as it didn't work with my lacy square layer.
I am entering this creation in the following challenges as well:
