Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge # 40 Fantasy and/or Fairies

Two weeks sure can fly by quickly!  Time for another fun challenge over at CC&CC.  This time you can let your imagination run wild with a super theme of Fantasy and/or Fairies!  That can cover a realm of possibilities!

Our super sponsor is Delicious Doodles.  Their variety of digis is amazing and fit into this category perfectly.  I used this super image called Egyptian Queen.  I had the perfect background paper that was in my stash and was itching to be used.  I added the Ankh from clip art I found on the net.  It, and also my image are colored it with my Copics and metallic gold and silver inks.  On the Ankh I added layers of clear embossing to give it shine (hard to see in pic!)  I also did the same with the die cut frame.  On my Queen I added a whole bunch of tiny rhinestone nail gems for sparkle.  The Egyptian eye is also a piece of clip art and has layers of clear embossing.

What lovely fantasy or fairy image do you have to use in this fun challenge? 

 We would love to see your creation, so join in the fun!

SHE SAID....

Time for some card making fun.  I love this stamp!  I recently got it at the scrapbook fair I attended and was so anxious to use it!   You could put so many different sentiments with this.  I had this little one that I had never used, and for me it was a perfect fit!

I colored it with my Copic's, added the flower, sentiment, ribbon and bow.

Hope you have a nice weekend!

CC&CC CHALLENGE #38 USE A NUMBER

SOOOOO SORRY I am late posting this!  My daughter-in-law was here for a week visiting and I had NO time for crafting and blogging!  We had a super visit!  She had to leave this morning and I miss her already!

Now, back to business!  Our challenge at CC&CC is to use a number on your card.  Our sponsor Robyn's Fetish gave us super images to use, and I chose this cute teapot and matching cups.  I decided to use the step fold and I think it looks pretty good with the images.  I made the paper flowers with my die cut roses die, and the letter and numbers were cut on my Silhouette.  The images werre colored with my Copics, then I added some pretty pink pearls to

set it all off.

 Hope you come join us at CC&CC for this fun challenge!

I just had to add this pic!  We had been out running around and it was soooo hot.  We came back and went for a swim. Then my husband and his daughter absolutely zonked out!!!   Too cute!

WARM THOUGHTS

Happy Sunday all!  I hope you are having a relaxing day with family and loved ones.  Time with them is so special.  This card is for a very special lady who is my Aunt's best friend.  I've gotten to know and love her too.  She recently had a stroke that left her speechless, immobilized and now pneumonia.  The prognosis is not looking too good.  She is in her 80's and trying as hard as she can to get better.  I wanted to do something very special for her to help bring a bit of sunshine her way.  I used die cuts from a new set I got at the craft fair last month.  It's a Creatables set by Marianne Designs and I LOVE it, especially those little corner pieces.  I made a lot of paper roses, added pearls and the sentiment.  The papers are ones I really like and use a lot.  They're from "The French Country Stack" by DCWV.  I did it as an easel card so she could have it open and be able to see it.

I hope that it makes her smile.  God Bless Lois, you are in my prayers!

CC&CC #38 MOTHER'S DAY

WOW!  Where did the past two weeks go to?  Seems like they just flew by and it's time for another challenge!  This time we are honoring one of the most loved and important persons in our lives ~ MOM!  Mother's Day is coming soon and I know there are a lot of you out there making cards for this special day.  So why not hop on over to Chocolate, Coffee & Card Challenges and play along!

Our super sponsor is QKR Stampede and they let us choose from their great images to do our cards.  I chose this cute little guy with his frog.  Too cute!  I colored him with my Copics, used a die cut for his background, also a die cut in the corner for some accent, then added the ribbons, button and sentiment.  It reminds me of my son when he was about four and brought me the same gift!

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms, Step Moms and any ladies who devote their time to raising a child.  It's one of the hardest and most rewarding jobs there is!
