Gotta Give Her 'Credit'...

We all know that laughter does us good like medicine - what better way to have a laugh than these Emerson Gals - you know I love them - it is all to do with the attitude and they have plenty of that!!  I am making some for an order and have to say, this one is hillarious - how true is that sentiment - I don't know about you, but I am glad that we are not the same - how boring would that be!! 

This card of for the Mojo Monday Challenge, I have not played along with that for a while, so this makes  me happy!!  I love sketch challenges and this one is no exception!

The DP is part of a RAK that I was generously sent, don't you love these double sided pages, they make card making easy!  I shocked myself and did minimal sponging and used the SU Eyelet Border Punch along the left edge.  Single stsitch black ribbon was added at the join  The image has been coloured with Chalks and 'blinged up' with glitter pens and layered into black CS.  A layered flower with a brad  was added and the card finished off with some Kaiser Gems.

This was another quick and easy card - there is a part of me that feels like I am cheating when I am not adding layers and distressing, but when it comes to making cards for other people, you need to do what they want - I am quite happy with the end reult...although everything in me wants to pull her dress up a bit!  LOL!

Thank you for looking and for your  encouraging comments - I appreciate you taking the time - I just love knowing that you have called in!  I hope your week is going well, we have had a sick dog for a couple of days, she had us worried but seems to be on the mend now - phew!!  God bless you!

Listen Honey....

I had time to do a quick MojoMonday card today before picking up our girls from their weekend away...this was after over 20 text messages and numerous phone calls...DD2 experienced extreme homesickness, it was only her second time being away from home...and I would say her last for a while. I was happy to hear that DD1 had taken good care of her and even tucked her up into bed as tiredness played a BIG part!! It was so lovely to see their happy faces today and to have them rushing up to us arms open wide for a cuddle - awww - these moments are special!!

This is MojoMondays celebration week - they have reached their 100th challenge and are celebrating this week with a new challenge every day. This one is MOJOJANETTE and made one quick card....which is great as I have to get some made for one of the boutiques for Tuesday...so I am hoping to get a few made tomorrow....I will definitely we using this one again!

I have chalked the image and coloured the coffee mug with red glitter pen and then added Dimensional magic, to give it a more realistic look! The image has been layered onto black CS and attached to the background DP which has had layered torn CS, DP and lace. A hydrangea flower was added, which I had added flower stamens to and I finished it all off with brads.

Thank you for stopping by and for your encouraging comments, you make my day...I love knowing you have been here!! Enjoy your day...chill out and maybe even get in come 'THERAPY!' LOL! God bless you!

Come and Rest

I made this card yesterday and have only just managed to post it here today....as I had a Scrapbooking Class last night (my third) and got home late....I have to say I can't remember laughing as much as I did last night for a long time - it seems that it is NEVER quiet when I go to these things -I have to say I am innocent in this case....but the things I saw....we will leave that for another day!!!

I have kept it simple today as the card making time was limited but have made a card for both the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenges and the Stampin'B Challenge.....

The stampin'B Challenge was to use flowers and I used one I had received in a RAK from pam124 - it is velvety and went perfectly with my flocked paper. I layered it on a scalloped circle which I had sponged and added an old button which came from a lady at Church - I called around there the other night and she had boxed of beautiful buttons - I was thrilled to be the recipient of some of them!!!

The scripture is from my cyber friend Lynda (aka Astrogirl04), I am very grateful for these as I have no scripture stamps....I rely on the computer, which isn't a bad thing but it is lovely having some stamped!!! I sponged the edges, paper pierced and attached it to a scalloped rectangle which I have cut down to make a square ( amazing what you can come up with when you have to!). This was attached to the DP with 3D foam dots, as was the scalloped circle. I added a length of velver ribbon as well as a length of lace with the final touch being the black pearl added to a coiple of corners. This was very simple and fairly quick to make, I am happy with the results - what do you think!?

I do appreciate you stopping in - don't forget to leave a comment so I know you have been...I would hate to miss you!!
