Yellow makes me HAPPY!

This week at Clear It Out Challenge, it's a color challenge!  Yellow!  Use all things yellow on this week's project!


Our sponsor this week is Lacy Sunshine!  I absolutely love her images!!  I colored her in with my Tombow Art Markers, cut the hexagons on my Cricut at 1/2" using scraps.  Embossed the background with a Tim Holtz Embossing Folder, popped it up and added some Stampin Up ribbon in Saffron.

Don't forget to join us by adding a little sunshine to your project!


And be sure to visit out sponsor!!

Until next time! =) Jenni

K.I.S.S.

K.I.S.S. is this week's challenge at Clear It Out Challenge Blog. It stands for Keep It Simple Silly!  We are challenging you to make a simple card with no more than 2 layers!  It may sound easy but it was a challenge for me!!  Clear out your stash because the stash item is "anything!"

We have two fantastic sponsors this week........DeeDee's Digi's and Di's Digi Designs.


I started with a kraft card base, colored my image from DeeDee's Digi's with my Tombow Art Markers and added some stash ribbon and brads.



Thanks for checking us out!  Until next time..........Jenni :)

Time for a sketch Challenge!!

Happy Tuesday and a new challenge at Clear It Out Challenge!  This week we are providing a sketch and ask for an ATG project using the sketch!


Here is my card, based on this sketch:


I used Making Memories Mat Stack as the background, vellum scraps, twine and flowers form stash.  Sentiment is from Paper Smooches Flap Happy.  I used my Tombow Art Markers to color in the butterfly from this week's sponsor, Stamp Art By Katharine.

I love to use sketches, it gives me a jumping off point!  


Thanks for joining us at CIO Challenge, until next time......

Buttons and babies!

I created this sweet baby card using a MelJen's Deisgns image!  I also created it for their button-it-up challenge!  His name is "little pocket puppy."


I used a non-current challenge sketch from MFT as well.  Love their sketches!


Paper is from Authentique Genuine, colored image with Tombow Art Markers.  Twine and buttons are from stash.

Thanks for checking me out! ;)

Thanks for all you do!

Hello crafty friends!  

Thank you cards always come in handy and you can never have enough around, so I created one today that I love!  I used a sketch from MFT Stamps!  I love their sketches!


The paper I chose is My Minds Eye Holly Jolly.  I am also entering it in another challenge over at S.W.A.T. (Scrap Warriors Advanced Training).  Their challenge is Christmas in July.  Create a non-Christmas project using Christmas paper.

Besides the MME, I used a stamp from the Basic Grey Tree Hugger set.  Stash brads and some homemade enamel dots to finish it off.


p.s. also entering this in another challenge on Southern Girls Challenge!  Any sort of circle!  I've got a bunch!  LOL  

Thanks for checking me out and get crafting!!

Until next time, Jenni :)

In the Garden

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Here it is again, a new challenge at Clear It Out Challenge!  Our challenge this week is to create a project that shows items from the garden!  Anything found in the garden and the stash item, is ribbon.


Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps.  My image is called "flower-bird."  I used my Tombow Art Markers to color this beauty in, the blue flowered strip is my ribbon.  All other items are from scraps and stash.

I used a sketch from MFTStamps to create this card.

Be sure to check out our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps for their excellent selection of images!!


Until next time..........Jenni
