Sentimental Sundays!

Good Morning and it's time for another Sentimental Sundays post!

This week we are being sponsored by the Digi Doodle Shop and they are offering a $10 gift certificate!

Our challenge this week is to add flowers to your creation - how easy is that?! and don't forget the sentiment!

I decided to use this gorgeous image from Digi Doodle Shop called "Cone Flower and Vase" - I love Cornflowers!!

I printed off the image several days ahead so that the ink would be good and dry when I coloured with my copics. Even so, the ink did smear a bit - I may have to get different ink or use my dryer. 

The patterned paper I used is Teresa Collins - Fabrications - a gorgeous paper pad full of beautifully textured papers.

I tied some ribbon through the card - Papertrey Ink Wisteria - love that gorgeous shade of purple! and the sentiment is also from Papertrey Ink ...

Thanks for coming around today!

Sentimental Sundays Challenge!

Good Sunday Morning and what a beautiful morning it is in Southern Ontario! The sun is shining and the birds are tweeting and it is just going to be a gorgeous day - which probably involves some golf time yay! 

Of course it is time for another Sentimental Sunday Challenge - our challenge is such an easy one that you should really accept it!  You make a card and make sure you add a sentiment! Easy! 

This week's theme is For a Special Woman - easy - a Mother's Day card!


Our sponsors are Di's Digi Downloads - $10 gift certificate and our very own sister here at Sentimental Sundays has opened up an online store called Crafty City and we are so excited to support her through her new journey as an entrepreneur!!  She has currently extended her FREE SHIPPING on orders $25 or more, to US residence til May 12, 2012. 

My image today is from Di's Digi Downloads and is called For a Special Someone - perfect for today's challenge! 

I printed off the image and coloured it with my copic markers. I always let my image sit for a day or two (or you can heat dry) so there is less chance of the ink smearing when you colour.

I die cut the image and the sentiment with MFT Die-namics Circle STAX and  used Papertrey Ink's Autumn Rose grosgrain ribbon for my embellishment along with some bling from Want 2 Scrap - love their different sizes of gems!

I know you are making Mother's Day cards this week - so why don't you hook up with our challenge!! 

See you next week!

 

Mom

Good day - I am late in posting this...... so sorry about that!

It's time for Sentimental Sundays - this week we are asking you to "Frame-it"!! (and don't forget the sentiment!) Take a look over at the Sentimental Sundays website to see what you can win!

I decided to make a Mother's Day card since I am in a craft show the day before Mother's Day, I will need lots of cards!

 

I decided that since I have a frame die - that I would use it! All supplies used on my card are from Papertrey Ink - I love this set called Garden Variety and PTI is coming out with Garden Variety II tonight - wahoo! I also used the Garden Variety dies to make MY job easier today lol!

The little tag is from Tiny Tags from Papertrey Ink!

I hope you find some time to play in the challenge and maybe win some prizes!!

Life is Good!

Good Morning and Happy Easter and welcome to another Sentimental Sundays challenge!

This week the challenge is to use a silhouette on your creation. I chose to use Technique Tuesday's Life is Good stamp set - a sweet stamp depicting children outside having FUN!

 

I made a circle card with this stamp set and I love how it turned out! 

I also used one of the smaller sentiments in the stamp set for my little tag!

Thanks for coming around and I hope you can enter out challenge this week to make a silhouette creation - with sentiment of course!!

Sentiment Sundays - My Hero

 Good morning! It's time for another Sentimental Sundays challenge!

This week we are being sponsored by Dude Time Doodles --- Dude Time Doodles creates exclusively to bring you guy images and ideas for those hard to make cards for the "Dudes" in your life. Guys aren't about flowers and fluff. Guys are our heroes, our fighters, our beer chuggers and bug squashers!

This week our challenge is Heroes!!

I chose to use the digital image called  The General - I am sure he is a softie even though he looks quite serious (and handsome if I do say so)!

I printed him off and coloured him up with my copic markers - have I mentioned how much I LOVE my copics - yes maybe I have......

I cut The General out and popped him up onto my card. The sketch is from My Favorite Things sketch #57 with a couple of changes.

I used some Teeny Tiny Letters from Cosmo Cricket for my sentiment - and that's about all!

Thanks for visiting today!

Good morning! It is time once again for our Sentimental Sundays challenge! 

 

This week our challenge to you is Easter or Spring (plus a sentiment!)

Our sponsor this week is Meljen Designs!  You could win 4 free images of your choice!

 

Meljen Designs is owned and operated by Melissa Jenkins. She illustrates whimsical rubber and digital images inspired by her kids and family! Meljen Designs has new releases along with a new challenge every Thursday, freebies every Monday and a Guest Designer each month at the Meljen's Designs Blog.  

This week I chose to use "Hop Along Bunny" for my Easter or Spring image.

 

I printed this sweet little image from my computer twice, and then coloured one image with  my copic markers, adding a touch of brown to the grey fur. The other image, I only coloured the basket, cut it out and popped it up onto the first image!

My little sentiment is made up of Cosmo Cricket mini alphabets - love those teeny babies!  The flower is punched out with my Stamping Up! scalloped circle punch - and then, using my scissors, I cut little petals into the middle.

I wanted to stamp the flower with polka dots, but when I mounted up the stamp onto the acrylic block, I put it upside down and ended up stamping it with the back of the stamp duh!! Anyway, it turned out fine regardless lol!

I added a button with twine and then I was done!

Don't forget - we would love for you to enter your creation into our challenge - just remember to add a sentiment to your Easter creation!!

Yay! for KennyK!

Good Morning and welcome to another Sentimental Sundays post!

This week you are being challenged to use METAL in your project! As per usual, I made up my card, with never a thought to the challenge but I was fortunate to have my little circle paperclips and so I clipped one onto my card -

I coloured my little boy called "Victory Kid" with my copic markers - I desperately wanted to make camo pants - but just couldn't bring myself to try it....so I settled on the denim green look!

I cut him out and popped him up onto the Dilly Dally designer paper by My Mind's Eye - are you getting tired of this paper yet?   I seem to be using it alot lately :)

I added some flowered grass and a fence to ground the "Victory Kid", and some letters to spell my word!

I hope you can join us at Sentimental Sunday's for this week's challenge to use metal (and don't forget the sentiment!!)

My beautiful designer paper is from My Mind's Eye and is a 6x6 paper pad called Fiddlesticks!

Good morning! It is once again time for our Sentimental Sundays challenge! This week our challenge to you is to Feel the Love - make a creation for someone you love or, of course, Valentine's Day!

 

And don't forget to put a sentiment on your creation!!

This week we are being sponsored by Little Darlings! I don't have any of these images so I decided to put together a love note to my hubby who is one great guy!

 

 

This quote is from Edward Cullen - of course from the Twilight Series and it is a part of the Clearly Sentimental series at My Favorite Things. This particular stamp set is called Clearly Sentimental About Romance and was part of January's Triple Scoop promotion but will be available for purchase as of Tuesday night - woohoo!

The typewriter is also from My Favorite Things and the set is called Die-namics Just My Type Die and Stamp Set!

I used MFT Sketch 49 for my card and the beautiful papers are from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress!

So how about you try out our Sentimental Sundays challenge - to use LOVE on your card - easy peasy!

Love You!

Good morning! It is once again time for our Sentimental Sundays challenge! This week our challenge to you is to use dry embossing! 

Another wonderful challenge - and don't forget to put a sentiment on your creation!!

This week we are being sponsored by Heather Ellis Digital stamps! She is the brains behind those cute little Pure Innocence stamps, and she has offered us a couple of new digi stamps to work with- so cute!!

I chose to use this sweet little thing and inked her up with my copics marker, plus a little paper piecing!

My dry embossing comes in the shape of my favorite embossing folder right now from Crafts Too - called Hearts (imagine that!!)

I used Sweet Stop sketch challenge #141 and an Authentic Papers 6x6 pad for my card.

The dies are from My Favorite Things and are the Die-namics Mini Tabs Foursome and the Die-namics Upsy Daisy!

My Martha Stewart Heart punch plus a bit of sewing on my Janome Mini Sewing machine makes it a perfect ending!

Merci!

Good morning! It is once again time for our Sentimental Sundays challenge! This week our challenge to you is to use diecuts! Easy peasy - and don't forget to put a sentiment on your creation!!

This week we are being sponsored by The Paper Shelter!

"If you are looking for fun, cute and lovely digi stamps for 

your paper-crafting or web design projects, The Paper Shelter is your one-stop boutique! This growing catalog of high-quality digi 

stamps with many different kind of options offers a multitude of 

themes such as everyday items, holidays, special occasions, 

children, adorable characters and creatures.

coloring and make perfect additions to greeting cards and 

scrapbook albums. In "The Paper Shelter" you'll also find great other 

resources for all crafts (or digital) projects, like Paper Packs, 

Printables, Accessory sheet, etc."

So I chose to use "In the Twenties" digital stamp - it comes two ways - black and white outline and already coloured!

I chose to use the one that was already coloured - because basically I felt lazy - true story..

My die cuts are My Favorite Things Die-Namics Eiffel Tower and Prima Donna Petals. 

Of course I used my beloved Spellbinders oval nestabilities for the main image and my papers are from My Minds Eye - a huge 12 x 12 paper pad that I got at my Local Scrapbook Store The Paper Pickle!

I Love you This Much!

Good morning! It is once again time for our Sentimental Sundays challenge! This week our challenge to you is to use Ribbon! Woohoo!

This week we are being sponsored by Fred She Said - the famous home of Emma!! and I have an Emma for your today - I Love You This Much digi!

I printed her off on Copic Xpress cardstock and then waited a couple of days for the image to dry.....sometimes on the computer you can smudge your colouring if you are using copics.....so I prefer to let the digi images dry for a few days. 

When I was ready, I coloured the areas I wanted with my copic markers and then printed another image off onto designer paper - Yours Truly by Echo Park to be exact! My new LOVE! and paper pieced the image.

The sentiment was die cut with the My Favorite Things Simply Scallops Die-namics and I highlighted it with some Want 2 Scrap bling!


Then I finished it off with the challenge ingredient - Ribbon!!

Stupid Cupid!

Good morning! It is once again time for our Sentimental Sundays challenge! This week our challenge to you is to use Blue and also glitter or some sort of sparkle!

This week we are being sponsored by Bugaboo Digi Stamps - from fun and quirky to serious and sentimental! and I am going to enter it into their challenge - which is "Anything Goes"!!

I chose to use a Stella Love - Stupid Cupid digi - there are a lot of Stella's and I tell you, I laughed out loud at everyone - boy it was hard to choose!

 

I used some Lilybee Design papers and paper pieced my little Stella- I coloured her with my copics first and then added some white lines for interest! I glittered up her wings as per the challenge!

A little bit of twine and sewing and it was done! I hope you will join us this week!
