Vroom to say Hi

Hello it's Thursday and that means it's another fabulous bi-weekly challenge over at Aud Sentiments. Our sponsor is Doodle Pantry and the theme is

"Sentiment for a Friend"

I chose Toy Truck Ants to play with since I don't make masculine cards so often. I went with a clean look here. 

I cut the letters with my cricut at 1" using the plantain schoolbook cartridge.   The griund was done using the cuttlebug folder.

Hope you like it and enjoy your day!

Luck of the Irish

Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is off to a great start! Mine isn't! I still have a sore throat and according to the doctor, I have bronchitis and now, I am on antibiotics. My son hasn't escaped it too!!! I don't know how long this weather will keep on playing with us. I'm really getting sick of this! The forecast is higher temperatures on the + side until Friday when it will snow AGAIN! Yes, I know. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

My image is Irish Coffee, a FREEBIE that Jenn gave us and that is still there if you want to scoop it up! Since St. Patrick's day is coming, I went with a green theme. The image was colored with prismacolored pencils only. No baby oil used this time. It was fussy cut and matted on some Neenah cardstock, which was cuttlebugged with a dots embossing folder. The green scallop and polka dotted mats were cut from the Elegant cartridge and plantain schoolbook cartridges respectively. Sentiment is from my own handwriting. 

The circle was cut from the plantain schoolbook cartridge.

My sketch comes from Sunday Sketch and Stamp and I chose the round shape.

P.S: It's Jennifer's BiRtHdAy and she is celebrating by passing on a gift to YOU!
From now until March 16th, enjoy 20% off with code BDAY20 on each and every listing in TheDoodleGarden.etsy.com shop. Go hurry,  you won't regret it!!!

Enchanted Pumpkin

Hello peeps, it's been a while since I blogged. Kids have been back to school and I have been busy going back and forth with my son's school. He hasn't adjusted to kindergarten yet and thus, I had to check upon him. Poor him!

My sketch uses the sketch from "I {heart} Sketch #33 and since it's fall, I went with a fall theme. The image is from Doodle Pantry and I picked a colored one since I never did that before. I did add a little embossing and used some MME stickers for the sentiment. 

Doesn't the image represent an enchanted pumpkin with the bear coming out of it?

Let's Have Fun!

Summer is almost coming to the end and it sure has gone by so quickly! This summer has been sometimes very hot and sometimes very icky. We were able to go to a few attractions but we sure could have done more...I have taken a break from blogging since I wanted to enjoy the summer with my children and I sure have loved it!

Without further ado, I wanted to showcase the fun we had even when the weather was pouring and here is what I came up with by using the 2sisters bonus sketch:

I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and matted with green cardstock. I then stacked it onto Momenta patterned paper, which I had previously stitched and then added the sentiments with pop dots. Furthermore, the flower resins were glued with some glue dots.

Cute as a buggy

You might be wondering why I have "Cute as a buggy" as my title? That's because I had used my cuttlebug for the first time since hubby gave it to me for my birthday and that was a while back. It's been sitting in a corner and today, I've decided it has to come out!!!

I've made 2 cards today and please bear with me if this post is a tad bit too long. The first card is for my nephew who's turning five this Saturday and he loves BOATS, so I figured this would work out well. I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday:

Supplies:

MS cardstock paper, K & Company chipboard, Prisma pearls & crystals, boat freebie image from Digi Darla, Joyeux Anniversaire sentiment from Create with TLC, prismacolor pencils, D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, scallop punch

The 2nd card is for my girlfriend who loves bright flowers and is always a cheerful person.

Supplies:
MS cardstock paper, paper from stash, Mary, Mary freebie image from Designed to Delight, flower image from Floppy Latte Designs, Friends sentiment from Meljen's Designs and Wishing you a tweet day sentiment from Doodle Pantry, Floral fantasy embossing folder.
