My 1st MFT!



Finally got some MFT stamps and have to say that I am quite pleased with how easy they are to use. Not so pleased with how they don't come completely clean after you use them though. I am a stickler for my stamps being clean and with these I guess it is just something that you have to live with.

I used my SU patterned paper and also So Safron and Regal Rose. I am pleased with how this one turned out and will definately be using them again.

This card I did for a Card Sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers found here

Why don't you play along.

Have a great day.

Happy Stamping.

Card Sketch SC147




I have wanted to get a chance to do the weekly card sketch that is on Splitcoast for awhile now but for one reason or another I just never got to it. I started this card last night and finally got a chance to finish it tonight. I bought this stamp for Thanksgiving and had this image already colored but could never figure what layout to use in it and when I saw this one on Wednesday I knew that I would finally get a chance to use it.

I colored the image with my primsacolor pencils and used my taltine with stumps to color it with. I love the effect the create. The colors are so vibrant. I also got a chance to use my faithful cuttlebug. I just love that thing. There are so many things that you can do with it.

I am pleased with how this turned out so now it is time for you to tell me what you think.

Good night
Sleep Tight

See you later

I made this card for the Card Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. It has to be one of the nicest layouts that I have ever used. I did have trouble coming up with a stamp that I wanted in the middle but when I finally chose this one it all came together. I thought that the fish charms really went with the card. The only problem is that the glue that I used didn't dry clear. You know what I am going to have to do with the card eventually. Yes take it apart and do it again. I can't give someone a card that has glue showing through. It won't be a big deal to do but I will feel better when I get it done. I think I will go home again tonight and see what else I can come up with for this sketch challenge. There are so many other great cards on Splitcoast to look at for this challenge if you would like to take a look. Give the challenge a try and see what you can come up with.

I do find that doing these challenges has helped me alot with my creativity. I just find that I don't get at them enough. Maybe now that the summer is winding down and things are coming to an end that I will have more time to do them.

Have a great day and thanks for visiting :-)

This is the first time in awhile that I have been able to do any of the sketch challenges but this weekend was our Anniversary so I wanted to use my new set to make a card for my husband. I am not a real good picture as I had to use my daughters cell phone camera as I still don't have my digital camera fixed or should I say replaced yet. That is another story for another day.

Well this is not actually a new set but it is new to me. Someone was kind enough to sell it to me on the buy/sale/trade column on Splitcoast. I have bought alot of stamps on there. I find you get them at a good price and have never had a problem with a seller.

This card was done for this week's sketch challenge I am so glad to be able to post my cards on here again.

Recipe for this card:

Stamps: Coast To Coast
Ink: Black Stazon
Accessories: Primsacolor Pencils, Stumps, Taltine Odorless Mineral Spirits, Hemp
Paper: Sizzix Paper and Other unknown

Tell me what you think!!

This was my first attempt at doing oragami and after a few attempts I have to say that it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought that it was going to be. I did this card for my Dad for Father's Day and he was pleased with it. I enjoy making cards so much and if I can put a smile on people's faces with my cards then I know that I did a good job.
