This forthnight at Crafting when we can challenges  our sponsor is Some Odd girl. And our theme is Wedding Celebration.  I really don't make a lot of wedding cards... there doesn't seem to be as many weddings anymore in my entourage.  But I guess it's always useful to have them in your stash!  It was also very fun to make! For this card I chose to play with an image from Robert Jackson that I think is so very elegant.  It's called the bride and groom II  you can find it here . To make this card I used DCWV - Shimmer pack for the green card stock.  I used the wonderful Splendid circle and botanical swirl die all from Spellbinder. I colored the digi with my copics. I paired it out with a sentiment that I thought was just perfect for this from Create with TLC . I really hope that you will be joining us this week at Crafting when we can challenges . I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Simon says stamps cha...

I colored this image with my copics: The wonderful sentiment comes from  Create with TLC .

I messed up and used the old schedule... so went with inches... but I really liked how it turned out and decided to still show it to you guys.  I used the Lil Back to School from Robert Jackson. The paper comes from My mind's eye - Lime Twist - Out of the blue.  I also used some cardstocks from Recollections that I purchased at Michael's.  I used Sizzix embossing on it.  I was soooo happy to find a way to use this embossing folder :D I used Label 22 to cut the digi and cardstock out and colored this sweet little girl with my copics. The sentiment comes from  Create with TLC .  It's Ticket back to school and was part of the wonderful club that I had joined!  When she does clubs you really should join... you really get a to...

Of course you know me... I couldn't resist and just had to play with digis from both cies.   I'm so blessed to be able to do that.  I really count my lucky stars. First off I would like to show you the card I made with Life gives you lemons from Robert Jackson.  I just loooove his digis.  I'm awful at doing African American's skin color, but his images look perfect with white skin as well... so I'm really lucky.  Here's my card: I really wanted to give this wonderful image a fresh look and I think I have succeeded with this paper from K&Cie called lemon.  I really think it's perfect.  I also used a ribbon from Bobunny Alora Col...

This week I decided to do 2 cards.  The 1st one is from Floppy Latte Design and is called Ship V.  It can be found at Stitchy bears Digital stamps. I decided to go for a monochromatic look for this card.  I thought it would look like a masculine card!  I don't  make a lot of those...  I used papers that I had in my stash and added a button and some twine. My 2nd card is made with an image from Robert Jackson called a hard day's work.  It's definetely fitting for 2 reasons.  The 1st one because I did a lot of shopping while in the states... and the 2nd because today I'm going back to work :( For this card I used some paper from K& Cie and used som...

For my Digi darla blog hop please check here. Today I'm hosting the challenge!!! Woohooo! It was stressful lol, didn't want to mess up the text that I had to write. Our challenge today at Jacksons digital expressions is anything goes as usual and the twist is "a rose by any other name". This means to use any flowers that are not a rose in your creation. Now I don't know about you guys... but I just love putting flowers... actually I find it quite hard not to have flowers at all whether in paper or in embellishments. I'm sure that you will find it quite easy to do the twist this week! Here's my card: I used paper that I had in my stash already.  The wonderful digi is Lil Big Hug, I colored her up with my copics.  I just looove her smile.  It was the perfect digi to put with this wonderful sentiment from Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley.  I purchase that set of sentiment at Scrapbook Central at a sale.  So I added the sentiment inside a flower t...

Today at  Jacksons digital expressions  at our anything goes challenge, the twist is a wonderful sketch.  Here's the sketch: Now I don't know about you guys... but I just love getting the inspiration from a sketch.  There's so many wonderful possibilities... but it gives you a starting point.  Some fellow DT turned it around (check out their wonderful creations! ). Here's my take on this sketch: Now for those of you who follow my blog you know that I have 3 dogs (Chanel (a little miniature black poodle), Lucky (a brown Cockapoo) and Charlie (my cocker spaniel, black and tan)).  So yes... I loooove dogs.  When I saw this fantastic image called Puppy Love from Robert Jackson I just could help myself.  I just had to create something with him!!!!  The paws, love my dog and little can of dog food are stickers I had in my stash for Scrapbooking.  The orange paper is from Creative Memories it's was a scrap from my Disney album. ...

I had a request from a co-worker to make a card for her mom's b-day.  This card is coming from her daughter Romane.  Yes the same for whom I made a b-day card and a father's day card ;)  This is a family affair!  I had also made a card gardener for her dad as well as a birthday card for her boyfriend.  Let's just say that I'm the closest hallmark to her ;)))  And of course I'm having a blast making these cards. I showed her some of my recent card and there was the one I made with  Robert Jackson  Moma's + suga.  It's such a wonderful image.  And of course my colleague loved it.  She wanted something bright with flowers since her mom loves that.  So I came up with this: As you can see I added lots of design paper and some robin's Dew drops.  I also made a flower with the flower blosom 1 from Nestabilities.  I made it out of pink foam.  I added some leaves from another nestabilities set that I embossed. ...
