Happy Saturday!!!

Good morning and happy Saturday to you!!! I have a few cards to share with you today!! I am so happy too because I have not had time to stamp this week. This morning I was able to get three cards done, yea!!!! I woke up real early this morning and spent the time working on challenge cards!! The first card I have to share is for the Our Creative Corner challenge for today. The challenge Cindy chose for us today is to use at least 1 button and 1 brad. I have a bunch of buttons but for some reason I don't use them much so this was a perfect challenge to dig them out!! The image I chose to use is my newest Tilda stamp, Tilda with Lilacs. I absolutely love lilacs and they didn't last real long around here so I wanted to make a card with her!! When I purchased this Tilda I also purchased the tree swing she is sitting on, I just love this swing!! I colored Tilda and the tree with my Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol and blending stumps. I cut both her and the tree out and mounted on Soft Sky. The ribbon is soft sky from SU, the buttons are also SU and the fun brad is Accent Depot. Fun card to make!!!

My next card is for Taylor's cupcake challenge for this week. As usual, a super sketch!! I received this image through the Wish RAK on SCS not too long ago and couldn't wait to color is!! This image is one of the newest sets from My Favorite Things and I just love it!!! I colored the image using my Copic markers. I decided it would be so fun to have chocolate ice cream with hot fudge on top!! The fudge has Liquid Glass applied and the cheery is actually a dew drop!! I was hoping the capture the sparkle of this card, there is sparkle in the dp, the outside of the image and in the center of the dish. I also used dew drops on the sentiment panel. The sentiment is from the Papertrey set Mixed Messages. This is such a great little set!!!! Again I used these fun brads from Accent Depot, trying to bring out the colors in teh dp. The main card and ribbon are from Papertrey, Lemon Tart. I really like how this card turned out!!!

My final card is for the sketch challenge on SCS. I really like the simplicity of this sketch!! I see so many possibilites!!!! The main card I used Summer Sunrise froom Papertrey. It is really hard to see in the picture but it matches pretty well with the o and e in the image. I used Basic Grey dp, my ribbon is lollipop ribbon. The image I used is from Whipper Snapper, isn't he cuuuute?! I colored the image again using Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol and blending stumps and found some silver hearts in my stash for the corners. The area looked too blank. The colors I chose to color the image with was real hard to match a lot of what I already have so I had a difficult time matching things up. Not really sure at all about this card. Maybe it will grow on me!!!

I want to apologize for the pictures today. My laptop seems to be on the fritz and of course I have everything I use on there. I think I better load my program on the desktop! Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy in the post below!!!!
