Retro #64

Today’s card is for a Fabulous Sketch over at Retro Sketches #64.

As soon as I saw it, I was hoping I would have some time to play along.

I have made two additional cards this week and didn’t get either of them linked up on time…UGH!

Hate when that happens, but in the grand scheme of life is that really what matters?

I get upset with myself when I get upset about something so petty when there is tragedy surrounding us each and everyday!

Watching the news just breaks my heart!! Those children and teachers must have been so frightened!

God Bless all of them!

So, today I will be thankful for the little things and the things that don’t get done….really don’t matter after all.

This card is going to a fellow co-worker whom unfortunately is being displaced next year….

but that is another sad story in itself.

Cardstock : Stampin Up

Stamps: Verve-sentiment and Stamp TV-Lovely labels

Tools: Cuttlebug

CAS(E) this Sketch #28

I have a very CAS card for you today that is going to be

linked up over at CAS(E) this Sketch. My hubby asked me

for a masculine Thank You card this morning and

due to the lack of anything masculine in my stash whatsoever,

I had to hurry up and make this one! So before I got started, I let my

fingers do some sketch surfing and I came up with a perfect one!

And here is what I did with it!

Details:

Cardstock: SU

Stamps: Close To My Heart and SU

Tools: Label Punch

Acc: pop dots

Well, this may have been the most CAS card I have ever made!

I am relatively happy with the outcome!

Hope to be a little more active this week on the blog…wish me luck!

Thanks for dropping by,

JUGS Color challenge

Hi Friends…Happy weekend! Yahoo!!!!

Today my good card lovin friend and fellow DT member VICKI over at JUGS

has a wonderful color challenge for us to try!

Love this color combo!! And here is what I came up with!

(The coral IRL is not quite that dark orange)

It’s that time of year when I am in the need Graduation Cards

and even though this card doesn’t scream graduation that is what it’s going to be used for!

I used some Washi Tape to make my arrow and that sentiment stamp I have had forever and I

believe it is from Michaels. Also, I Love my new Chevron folder from Stampin Up and

I can imagine it’s going to be getting a lot more use! Finished it off with some twine, buttons and stars.

Now, the rest of the JUGS team has some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going,

so just hop on over to the Just Us Girls blog, and check out what the Design Team has created for you.

Then put your creative genes to work and add your card/project to the challenge post on the JUGS blog

for the chance to be selected as our Chic of the Week.

Can’t wait to see what you all create!

I got this sketch idea from retro Sketches…..but the link closed before I could post this one!

Anniversary Celebration @ DD

May14

The Dynamic Duos are Celebrating a One Year Anniversary!

To celebrate they are asking us to create a project using one of our PAST COLOUR COMBOS.

I chose this one!

Pink and Black look amazing together…don’t ya think?

If this card looks familiar I made one almost like it a few months back and

I decided I liked it so well that I would do it again with some sentiment changes!

I decided to go outside and take the photo for a change…since I still had daylight!

Hope you have an amazing day,

and CONGRATS to the Dynamic Duos for there one year Anniversary! I love your Challenges!

Details:

Cardstock: SU and Scraps

Stamps: Verve and Stamp TV

CAS…Pastels

May12

Happy Mother’s Day!!

I have for you today the next challenge over

@ CAS on Sunday. The challenge this time is to incorporate

pastels into your creation. I have had a very stressful week, so this

card I will confess had to come together rather quickly. If I had had

the time or strength to make it again… I would have. Some of the pastel

colors didn’t come out as strong as I had hoped and it’s hard to

see them in the photo.

Please won’t you join the girls and I over @

Just click on the logo!

We would love it if you did… and here is the cool prize you will receive if you win!

Have a wonderful day…however you choose to spend it!

See you over @ CAS on Sunday!

Card Details:

Cardstock: SU

Ink: Various

Stamps: SU-Delicate Doilies

Sentiment-Verve-So Happy

Embossing Folders- SU

Nestabilities- petite ovals

Acc: pop dots

Long Post…stick with me!

What a crazy week we have had at the Leppek house!

Quick re-cap to explain my LACK of posts!

Last Friday, we moved my son from Tally to home for the summer

(Insert major happy face here!)

and while we were putting things in the storage shed

he cut his hand on a piece of aluminum siding…

off to the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital for stitches. Then my Uncle

who was visiting from out of town broke his hip on Sunday 3 hours

after he arrived….. off to the Hospital again. Finally, on Tuesday my dad

took a terrible fall and has road rash all over his body,

stitches on his hand, along with a fractured

collarbone…off to the Hospital again.

I wish I had time to go into more details about

how my father was 1/2 mile from home and

managed to walk all the way back after he had fallen,

while bleeding profusely…..

but that is really not why you are here….now is it?

So that sums up why I have been so QUIET lately!

Things will probably remain rather quiet

for a little while longer until my dad can

take better care of himself.

But enough of that…let’s get to the GOOD stuff!

This week Tangii from the JUGS team has a wonderful technique for us to try.

Here is what I did with it!

It appears that I used a dusty blue pencil on my card…but I promise I didn’t. It’s WHITE!

Although, I decided to capitalize on that color and used it behind the sentiment.

Details:

Cardstock: SU

Stamps: Wild Rose Background

Ink: Color Box White

White Prisma Colored pencil

Tools: SU punch

Acc: Pink ribbon and Pop dots

I so appreciate all my followers and my visitors ….

you make my day….. and all of this worth while!

The rest of the JUGS team has some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going,

so just pop on over to the Just Us Girls blog, and check out what the Design Team has created.

Then put your creativity to work and add your card/project to the

challenge post on the JUGS blog for the chance to be selected as Chic of the Week.

Hope you have a great day!

HB to you…

Hello my crafting friends,

Today I have a Birthday Card to share with you that was created

based on an awesome sketch by Maria my fellow Design Teammate over at Just Us Girls.

I guess I am still in the pink and black mode from last week, but this week I did add some

Turquoise in there to give it some more POP!

Letters were cut out with my Cricut then Dry embossed.

Sentiment was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed.

Card Details:

Cardstock: SU

Paper: Bazzill and DCWV

Stamps: Hero Arts

Tools: Cricut, Cuttlebug, Heat Gun

Acc. Embossing powder, ribbon, flowers, and brad

make it into a Scrapbook page…we can’t wait to see what you do with it!

Now go and check out what my fellow

JUG ladies have created for you!

Have a wonderful day and

thanks for stopping by!

So sorry this is late…..had to make a quick trip to the ER last night with my son!

All okay now !!!

Another JUGS Inspiration!

I still had all the colors from my last JUGS card all over my crafting table

and a co-worker asked me to make a”Girly” College Graduation card for her…..

so what else screams Girly then; Pink and Bling!

So here is another card that goes right along with my

Hostess challenge over at Just Us Girls!

It looks very similar to some of my latest work!

Please won’t you play along…I would love if you would!

There is still time!

I am also linking this up to a new site I stumbled

upon called ABC Challenges.

They asked us to either make a Mother’s Day card or a

feminine card. I chose the latter!

It has been 16 years since my mom has passed

and I still miss her as if it was yesterday!

I don’t believe I have even made a Mother’s Day card since.

Take care,

Card Recipe:

Cardstock: SU

Ink: Memento-Black, Angel Pink, and Rose Bud

White cuEmbossing Powder

Stamps: Ret.-Stampin Up set-Flashy Florals

Sentiment- Dollar bin @ Michaels

Tools: Cuttelbug- SU-Embossing Folder-Sq. Lattice

Acc: ribbon, bling and Pop dots

Hip Hip Hooray….summer is on it’s way!

This card was tough to put together….it was just one of those days when nothing you tried quite worked exactly liked you had planned.

I found myself taping and glueing and then taking it apart, ripping it and then trying to do it again…with the same results!

I am sure you have had one of those days before….at least I hope so!

I almost tossed the entire card, but refrained so here it is!

Don’t look to closely….major flaws everywhere!

Beach Ball was made by hand! Boy was it tough cutting out that Bikini top! LOL

This card, as unsatisfied as I may be with it…. is still going to be linked up over at Fusion this week!

I decided to Fuse the challenge this week!

Although, I may have no flowers on my card…I went with the color scheme…along with the Sketch!

If you haven’t heard of this site…I highly recommend it!

So unique and fresh and loaded with talent…

both by the Design Team and the players!

Cardstock: Stampin Up

Paper: Bazzil, SU and CM

Ink: Various Pens

Second Post for the day so…..

If you are looking for CAS on Sunday…Please Scroll Down

As soon as I laid eyes on this sketch over at CAS(E) this week, I knew I wanted to play along.

The first thing that came to mind is this great tree stamp that I have

that I haven’t used in quite a while from Verve.

Then I went looking for a color challenge, and I didn’t have to go far.

I went right to my reliable Dynamic Duos, and then the creativity began.

The polka-dot Washi tape looks peachier than it is!

Cardstock/Paper: SU,CM

Washi Tape

Stamps: Verve-Tree, Sentiment-CTMH

Ink: Memento Black and Spectrum Noir Pens

Acc: Pearls

Thanks as always for stopping by and brightening my day

with your wonderful comments!
