Mod Squad Challenge- A Few Of My Favorite Things

Can't believe I'm finally getting back to making cards after over a year away from it.  I got burnt after the holidays last year then got hit with the flu. After recuperating I I found out I was pregnant and it was twins!! What a surprise that was! Now my boys are here and I'm slowly finding some crafting time. Yay!

I'm jumping back into it with the 1st challenge over at Mod Squad Challenge Blog. The challenge is "A Few Of My Favorite Things" I used Distress Inks, distressed edges, die cut circle and layering of an image.

Although it's hard to tell there's 6 layers on my rose. Here's another image that hopefully shows the rose layers a little better!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card. Happy crafting!!

Kids Favorite Food VSN Challenge

For this challenge you needed to make a card using foods kids love to eat.

What kid doesn't love cupcakes?! This little cutie is from Doodle Dragon Studios. I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and blended them with baby oil. The background paper is from The Paper Studios All Seasons paper pack. I layered the image with black paper then used the drippy goo punch and edged it with purple stickles. I distressed the papers with sandpaper and added Stickles to the hair ties and bow on the skull.

That's the last card I made for the Back to School VSN!! Now I need to get started on the Hope You Can Cling To challenges over on Splitcoaststampers.com. I'll be back really soon with lots more cards to share!!

Sandbox Follies VSN Challenge

This challenge is to use sand in some way. I used sandpaper to ruff up my image and background paper.

My pumpkin is from Doodle Dragon Studios and colored with Prismacolor pencils. I found the background paper in my scrap pile. I used Momento Tuxedo Black for my edging color. The row of pumpkins is from a EK punch called Pumpkin Patch. I punched it in black and orange then off set them for a shadow effect.

I think I only have 2 more cards to share til I'm all caught up!!

Don't Get Caught Daydreaming VSN Challenge

This challenge is to use the Glitter Window technique. I love this technique and can't wait to use it again!

I used this Glitter Window technique tutorial. To make the blue background I used Momento ink in Summer Sky and Danube Blue then stamped snowflakes in Summer Sky. For the glitter window snowflakes I used Paris Dusk Momento ink. To add a little more sparkle I used Stickles glitter glue around the Let It Snow.

Thanks for looking!

Graffiti It Up! VSN Challenge

I had lots of fun with this challenge. You just needed to use something that sprays.

To make this card I edged the base with Antique Linen Distress Ink. For the tree layer I took a ziploc bag and rubbed it with Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress Ink then misted with water. Next I laid the bag over my paper and gently rubbed the ink in. After the ink dried for a few minutes I stamped the trees.

Thanks for looking!

Classroom Supplies VSN Challenge

This challenge is to use some kind of classroom supply on your card. I found a couple cute paperclips to use.

I love how this birthday card came out! The image is from Bugaboo. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils and blended them with baby oil. I used The Paper Studios All Seasons II for the background. The 'It's your day!' is from Stampendous Party Invite set. The 'Make a Wish' is from TPC Studio Brush Stroke Greetings set.

Whoo hoo! Thats number 4!

No Doggy Ears, Please! VSN Challenge

This challenge is to make a bookmark. With Halloween coming up I have been reading a disney spooky stories book to my son. The book has around 20 stories in it so this bookmark is perfect to keeping our place.

I used Momento ink in Paris Dusk and Tuxedo Black for the background. The bats are from Recollections Halloween set, the Trick or Treat is from Inkadinkado Trick or Treat set and the Pumpkin  is called Spooky Jack-o-lantern from Hampton Art.  

My son really loves using this bookmark. I think I'll make one for his Christmas stories book too.
