Little Teapot

This evenings post is my second for today. Scroll down to see "Sweet Bear". MelJen's current challenge is to use your image twice. A unique challenge. I'm finding that more and more challenge sites are coming up with some great twists to the normal. So fun! Rosie D's challenge was to use multiple folds. My take was just not the standard everyday cards. So with all that in mind I came up with my "Fancy Little Teapot", which is a MelJens image. My image is stamped and colored twice. One on the front of the card and one on the inside. The papers are from DCWV Summer pack. I followed last weeks sketch at Sketch Saturday. I incorporated it into the front and inside of the card. The little flower was handmade, just a trial to see if I could do it! LOL The sentiment was inspired by my bestie. She collects teapots and I'll be sending this to her. The sentiment is from World Art World.




Well............I'm off to color some more images. I have a really fun one I'm working on. Can't wait to show you! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop in and take a look and leave me some love. I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

Ms. Piggy

Hi there!

Just a quickie post tonight. I'm entering my cute little piggy in a couple different challenges. Everything was from my scrap bin. I used my prisma's to color her. We raised a piggy last year and this cute image from MelJen's called "Piggy Bath" totally reminds me of all the fun times we had with him. I hope you enjoy it.

Hugs - Jen

Snowflakes in the Summer

FINALLY! I've been workin on some projects this last couple weeks and finally am able to post a card. Silly me I looked at the wrong MOJO Monday Sketch but oh well, The card is pretty anyway. So the sketch is from last week, hopefully I'll have time to do one for this week.

My card is a 5 X 5, I cut my snowflake at 3" from the Christmas Noel Cartridge. Then I ran it through my Zyron. I used Tim Holtz glimmer mists in red velvet and coffee shop. The picture doesn't do it justice how pretty the colors are and how sparkly! When that was dry I attached the gold pearls using my NEW I-Rock. Then I followed sketch using paper from the Cosmo Cricket Wonderland paper pad. The sentiments on the outside and inside were both from the paper pad as well.

Now I just want to say that I ordered my I-Rock and it didn't work. I contacted the company I bought it from and I'm happy to say that Imaginesce sent me out a replacement right away. The first two times I used it it worked. Then it stopped heating up. Thank goodness I hadn't thrown out the other one because I was able to replace the heat core from the one that wouldn't turn on. So now (at least for the time being) I have a working I-Rock tool. Has anybody else ran across this problem? I'm gonna contact Imaginesce and let them know. I enjoy using it I'm just very disappointed in the workmanship of it.

Ok, enough on that. I'm off to make salsa shortly. Our first ripe tomatoes are ready in the garden which means it back to canning!! I just finished 8 cases of Kosher Dill Pickles and two cases of Sweet Pickle Relish. It's hard work but so rewarding! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me some love!

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

Cricut Cardz #32 - Christmas Card with your Cricut

Squigglefly #57 - Christmas Card

Rosie D's #75 - Use Burgundy, Pink and Cream
