TOMIC.....

This is for the challenge at TOMIC (brown & cream- my personal favs), so I used Graphic 45 Back to School line, which I so love, and it has the perfect colors for this challenge! I colored my two sweeties with distress inks, did a little cut work, added some buttons, and a bow made of vintage seam binding. I distressed all the papers, and added it to this step card! Hope you like it, and thanks for takin'a peek! Teresa*

Sketch.......

This is for Magnolia Down Under- wonderful, wonderful sketch over there, I love it! I couldn't decide what to do for sure, had two stamps I wanted to use.......so I ended up using both! How you say.....I used the rainbow as background, then colored and cut out the trees on my winter night stamp and added them to this card! I am pretty tickled with the result........I think it's a "cute" fit!! I distressed the images very lightly, didn't want the colors too dark. I followed the sketch, but added just a twist to it....put the banner below and moved tag and strip of paper to other side! Was a really fun card to make......love making those bannner's, I even added one to the bottom inside of card! This is also for Crafty Cardmakers (summer memory) Hope you like it! Thanks so much for takin'a peek! Teresa*

Back To School Box Card...................

It took me a "whole" day to make this box card!! I had to first design the box, then I made the easel card to fit on top.....whewwwww!! Boy was it fun though! Those new Graphic 45 papers are in my fav color, so it makes me so happy to work with them!! The box can be used to store pencil's, or just about anything in! And if you look close at the easel card on top, you will see that it is a little "book", I made the card slant a little more of an angle as though it were on a shelf for you to look through!! Hope you can see it in the side veiws....that's why there are so many pics, wanted you to be able to see the whole thing!! The card will also fold up flat on top out of the way! I colored the Tilda's with distress inks, and even used one of my older stamps, cuz she's jumping rope as kids do!! I distressed and layered all the papers, made my curled flowers to match, made the banner, I used my new score pad to make the "book" papers, did some cut work, and also used my Martha Stewart punch for fence!

Tiddly Inks.......

I love this little character so much, I use her all the time! This week at

TCR and Color Combos Galore........

I managed to get "all" the colors for both TCR & Color Combos Galore into this lo!! Whewww.........and it all started with the laced up element in middle of lo! I built the lo around that one element, and added flowers, pictures, rub ons, lace, gauze, butterflies, and even a crotched flower that I made! Thanks so much for takin'a peek! Teresa*

My new Digi Stamp from Mo's!!!

This is one of my new digi stamps from Mo.....isn't he the coolest! So of course this is for the DP2 challenge(boy attitude). I used distress inks to color him, distressed and layered all the papers, and actually used papers that i wouldn't normally use, and I love how it turned out....gonna have to do that more often, just throw some together!!!! I added some of Prima's buttons, with hemp tied through them. I also made some pinwheels and added those to the front, since flowers just were not going to work for this little fella!! This is also for Emerald Fairie Garden(buttons), Creative Stamp Friends (men). Thanks so much for takin'a peek! Teresa*
