The Cutest Smile Ever

 

It continues downpours of rain here. Good time for crafting but I am getting a bit depressed over all these clouds. Bring on the sunshine. Please!!!!!

 

I'm using a digital image for my card that is being entered into the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog #149. The theme is Thinking of You. The name of the digital image is, A Simple Gift of a Flower.

 

 

I used the card sketch from last week's card sketch on Splitcoaststampers, SC418 and I'm doing the SCS color challenge for today, CC409 .

Hope you all had a great weekend. We have had family visiting since Thursday. We had good times but the weather has been on the rainy side and that spoiled a few plans.  But, we thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

This week the Friends of Speedy TV challenge #32 is to use chalk. It had been a long time since I had used chalk and I really enjoyed using it again on this rose from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps, A Heinrich Co. from a set called Love Remains. The sentiment from the same company is from a set called Oopsy Daisy.


I used Craf-T Products Decorating Chalks-Pale Yellow, Forest Green, and Butterscotch
We hope you'll join us this week. Maybe you'll be the winner of this wonderful set called Buffalo Spring.

My card was also entered into Vicki Dutcher's DTGD challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

Today's card is using the awesome stamp set, Scenic Selections. If you like making scenes for your cards, scrapbooks, etc., you'll love this set. I used four of the images from the set to make my card..trees, fence, grass along the fence, and taller grasses in the pasture.  The sentiment is from the Get Reel set featured yesterday. I stamped and stamped off part of the trees. Colored images with Copics

I made an extra card for the hop, going clean and simple. I thought the scene was good for a sympathy card. From the Scenic Selections set, I used a tree, fence, boulder, and grasses. The sentiment is from the Oopsy Daisy set featured on Tuesday.
I think my plaid border and mat look black in this photo but it is brown.

For my card, I using two stamp sets being released this week. For the daisies and sentiment, I used the Oopsy Daisy set and for the butterflies, I used a set we'll be featuring later this week, Scenic Selections. What a great set that you can use for so many things.

Recipe:
Paper-MFP 100 lb. premium cover white cardstock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Cantaloupe (for sponging around image)
Accessories: Copics, ColorBox Victorian Parlour die cut accents (doily) adhesive sticker

I also wanted to make an altered clipboard with the Oopsy Daisy set. I picked up my clipboard at Office Depot and covered the background with a Tim Holtz Alterations bricked embossing folder. The punched border at the top is made with a Martha Stewart Laurel Leaf punch.

I stamped my image  10 times for a 3D effect, colored, cut out, and popped them on. The centers are buttons. I'm using a leaf and ladybug from the same set. It is so adorable.

Added a ribbon from Offray and the initials are chipboard that I colored with Copics.
