PIP Challenge 2138

I'm in the middle of nowhere on an island...

Yep, that's right...it's called Grandma's Island

in Phillips, WI. Privately owned, 13 acre island.

It's truly a piece of heaven and it does have

WiFi. Soooo, I hope this all gets posted. lol!

I am posting a few location pics at the bottom

of this post so everyone can see the beauty!!

NOW,

Our amazing sponsor this week is

Jan's Digi Stamps

Jan's Digi Stamps is kindly offering a

$10 Gift Certificate. Without our amazing

sponsors the challenges wouldn't happen. 

Here's my card for the week!

This card was created for one of my best buddies

and my Florida travel pal's birthday this past

week. Gerri and I travel to FL for 3 months in

the winter, and husbands join us for a month

right in the middle. Enough about that, now 

about the card. I printed this wonderful image

from Jan's Digi Stamps. It's been colored with

Copics with some sparkle pens added to some 

of the flowers. I made the sentiment and added

some delightful, matching little hearts to the 

sentiment panel. A little bow out of twine, some

random dots in the background and layers to

complete the card. Basically easy but lovely...

I think. lol

Now here are a few of my Island photos.

This week's sponsor is PIP Challenges and 

we are offering a 

$5 gift code from Mo's Digital Pencil

NOW...

Here's my card for this challenge:

As much as I love MO Manning I decided

to use My Favorite Things stamps and dies.

I cut out three squares and sponged on 

a variety of inks. I colored the cute bears

with Copic markers and after I die cut them

I added them to the squares with pop dots.

I stamped and raised the sentiment and

finished the card with some layering.

 HAPPY

Another great  challenge with our wonderful sponsor

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!

I seldom, or if ever, make a slim line card

but this stamp and die set seemed the

perfect pair for a slim card. I created a 

cloud stencil for the sky and colored the

images with Copics. I added some white

ink to the balloon and waxy flax/twine for

the string. The images were raised up with

mounting tape. 

The stamps and die cuts

are from CAS-ual Fridays,

Somebunny Stamps

We love our challenge sponsors!!

A brand new challenge over at PIP Challenges. This week's sponsor is

challenges wouldn't happen. 

SheepSki Designs is offering the 

random winner THREE DIGIS!!

Here's my card...

Pull the tab...

After tab is pulled

How does it work??? Watch these quick 

videos to see the magic.

I loved working with this cute frog image

from SheepSki Designs. I colored both

images with Copic markers, adding a 

couple of white dots to the flowers. I had

made a mask of the image so I could sponge

color for the background. The directions 

for the Magic Picture Changer are found

at Lawn Fawn. So many of SheepSki Designs

images would be idea for this style card.

We have a brand new sponsor, Lee Holland, and I have no doubt that you will LOVE the creativity available. Any digital need you may have, including images, papers and sentiments, can be found at the Etsy shop.

Be sure to pop over and check out all the fabulous digital images, papers and sentiments they have now! 

Sadly, I am unable to share a creation this week due to a knee injury. I got up on Tuesday (last week) and found I was totally unable to apply any weight on my RIGHT knee. OWIE!! The pain was unbearable so, thankfully, I was able to visit my Ortho doctor the same day. The MRI showed a severe tear in the meniscus and surgery/scope is scheduled for tomorrow, pending insurance authorization. I have been unable to do anything but keep my knee up. Now...keep in mind that my LEFT knee is scheduled for a replacement the end of Sept. sigh...needless to say, since the right knee pain is causing my left knee to support me, the left knee is also painful. Sheesh. Anyway, I may be totally relying on my fabulous design team to carry the challenge inspirations and I have complete faith in them. They ROCK!!

  I want to thank our amazing sponsor, 

Star Stampz!!

Be sure to pop over and check out all the fabulous digis they have!  In fact, go check them out now!

Here's my card 

The image was printed, and a sentiment

created. I used Copics for the coloring and

a soft blue ink to sponge around the die

cut out image. I used a yellow sparkle pen

to color the sun.

I used a decorative die cut to use against

the background paper behind the image. 

I raised up the image with pop dots and then 

glued the sentiment. All in all, a very easy card.

This week's PIP Challenge is sponsored by

We Are 3

There's plenty of time for you to join in!!

Here's my weekly inspiration...

I love We Are 3 because you can get digital

images, paper and sentiments. What fun!!

I printed the cactus 3 times, in different sizes.

After I cut them out I layered them on some 

of the matching digital paper, using mounting

tape to raise one of them for dimension. They

are colored with Copics. I die cut a cloud and

sponged some ink on the edges. I added the 

sentiment and that was it!

A new challenge with the amazing sponsor

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Here's my project!

I love easy cards and this one fell right into

that category!! I used a die cut for the black

frame with the diagonal inside. I layered

that on a sparkly piece of pattern paper. 

The flower stamps and die cuts, including

the leaves are from CAS-ual Fridays. I 

added some clear sparkle pen to the flowers

and attached a sentiment. I did raise the blue

flowers, with mounting tape, for some dimension.

Apparently my lighting really stunk! The card

was made on WHITE. I used Polkadoodles 

flowered paper download and layered the

image on top. She was colored with Copics

and I added a sentiment. That was it.

Beccy's Place

fabulous digis that they have!  
Go check them out now!

Here's my card!

What I initially wanted to do with this ship

image didn't work out soooo this is the way

I went instead. It turned out better than I 

thought it would. Beccy's digis are excellent

and I think the simplicity of this card pretty

much showcases the ship. The die cut banners

and sentiment came from different companies.

I colored the image with Copics and edged

the layers with a gold ink.

cut it out. I used a die cut for the sun burst

lacquer for the glass.
