Birthday Bucket

I have been a Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge follower since its inception, but rarely a participator.  I thought it was long overdue for me to get my MOJO on.  I recently acquired this Mo Manning digi stamp and thought it the prefect fit for the sketch.  Needless to say, I must put my spin on my card's sentiment.  I needed a birthday card, I saw the bucket and voila...the birthday bucket is born.

It's Beachy...

It's Triple T Time at the beach!     I'm excited to announce another Triplicate Trials Tuesday challenge.  This challenge's elements was all about the beach in it's colors and theme and a nice sketch to seal the deal.  I wish I could've been at the beach actually making a sand castle, but oh well.

I hope you'll play along with us over at Triplicate Trials Tuesday.   Since this challenge is every other week, hopefully you'll be able to fit this challenge in.

Chocolate Glazed Donut Anyone?

This week's Cas-ual Fridays Challenge is all about sweets and treats.  This challenge gave me the opportunity to revisit an old friend of mine...the chocolate glazed donut.  I {heart} chocolate glazed donuts.   I haven't had them in a long time as I've been making healthier choices.  That doesn't mean I don't sin in my heart just thinking about knocking back a couple of chocolate glazed donuts.

I used this cute digi stamp from Torico's Digital Gallery that I came across just last week.  Sweet coincidence!  I enlarged the image to make it large focal point.  Colored it with Copics and applied Glossy Accents to create the yummy glaze.  Doesn't it look delicious?  I'd like to think so, but that could just be chocolate donut jones talking.  Also, I used black twine to create the frame.  The twine pays homage to the Free For All (F4A73) Challenge.

What do you think of my chocolatey glazed delight?

That's the way the ball bounces

I made this basketball...or at least what was supposed to be a basketball for the current Cas-ual Fridays Challenge.

This was my fourth attempt at making this card.  I got so tired of trying that my hubby stepped in and helped me.  He got a basketball from the garage.  Set it on my craft desk.  Then proceeded to draw the lines for me.  Gotta love the man.  All I had to do was cut it and put it together...granted I could've done that better but I must say this version is a WHOLE LOT BETTA (love my perfect grammar) than my previous attempts.  Practice might not make perfect, but it definitely made better.

What do you think?

Triplicate Trials Tuesday Chellange #4

It's the day of the week, where a new challenge begins.  It's Triple T Challenge time!

 

I haven't used vellum paper in a long time and I've gotta say...I forgot how much fun it can be.  Stamped images on vellum take on a whole new look.

I hope you'll play along with us over at Triplicate Trials Tuesday.   Since this challenge is every other week, hopefully you'll be able to fit this challenge in.
