CDAC Special Challenge - for you

This image was created by JenLee for Digistamps for Joy. I used some designer paper that I got with my Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine this month, sentiment stamp from the A Year of Flowers rubber stamp set, and watercolor pencils.

CDAC Special Challenge - Stay Cool!

This image was created by Pattie's Creations. I used digital paper for the background, handwritten sentiment, and watercolor pencils. I hope you like this finished card as much as I do, with the record-breaking heat wave that we have been having across most of the USA this last week I thought that this was an appropriate card to send to quite a few people.

CDACPC18 Project 1

This is the last round for this set of CDAC Progressive Challenge #18 (cdacpc18). This round ends May 31st and the theme is Summer's Sizzles!

The image that I chose to use this time comes from Doodle Pantry. I used colored pencils to color the image. The background paper is from my stash. I ran some metallic cardstock through my Cuttlebug for the pieces on the corners.

MIA for So Long

I have been really sick for quite awhile and it has kept me completely away from the computer. I was hospitalized on May 9th with pneumonia and I wasn't released until May 22nd. I will be trying to get to feeling back to semi-normal pretty soon, but I am not sure how long that is going to take as this ended up being a lot more serious than I thought it was to begin with. When they told me a few years ago that catching the flu or pneumonia could be fatal to me I thought they were just being overly dramatic, but it turns out that they were being serious. I am going to try to get back to work on card projects as quickly as I can, but I am not completely sure how well I am going to be able to do that.

The nurses and techs that I had at the hospital were awesome and I am sure that I would not have made it if it weren't for their great care. Thanks for putting up with the witch that I become when on steriods. I am very thankful for the great care that I received. Thank You!

CDAC Progressive Challenge #14, Project #2

The theme for this round is Baskets or Bunnies?. The image came from A Day for Daisies. The papers came from my collection and the sentiment came from my PC Hugware collection. I thought that this would make a great new baby card. The scan for this card shows it being uneven from side to side, but it is not uneven, it is just the way that the scan worked and I was trying to get this card posted before the deadline, but I missed for this card and quite a few other ones that I had made with the images that we were given this round. I colored this image with watercolor pencils, glitter markers, and alcohol markers. I used pop dots to raise the image and the sentiment up from the background.
