Card Sketch Hop

Welcome to Crafty Card Galleries Sketch hop! If you came here from Linda then you are in the right place. If you are here by chance then head on over to Jennifer's Blog and check out the hop from the start.
I made a couple cards to share with you today. 
This card has one of my favorite Meljen's Images on it. The mouse is super cute.
I colored the mouse with copics. The flower is chipboard that I stamped all white then used UTEE and sprinkled glitter on it when the UTEE was melted. The sentiment is a dollar Studio G stamp on a spellbinders cut out then spray glittered.
Here is another Meljen image that I love. I colored him with Copics and chalked the edge of the ovals. The sentiment is another dollar stamp that I sprayed glittered and added a few metal accents with my Irock.
The little bow I bought in a pack a long time ago.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Now head on over to Angie!

School Cards

I wanted to share a couple cards I haven't had a chance to post.
 The top card image is a Bugaboo set that I fell in love with. I colored the image with Copics and added this card to my collection for later in the year. Sometimes when a teacher is having a hard year I like to give them cards to hell cheer them up. So this is my just in case that happens card. I actually have someone in mind for it already and its only been three weeks of school!
 These two cards I made for our new principal and vice principal. This image is also from Bugaboo. I added a personalized message to the whiteboard (since we dont use chalkboards anymore).
All simple cards but I liked them. Thanks for stopping by!

Sneak Peek ~~Inspired Stamps

Here is a little peak at the new releases for September! Look how cute this boy is. I just love the characters Antoinette  creates. This boy is a single stamp named HLO Thankful Boy and the sentiment is from her Fall Gratitude set. 
I cut the card using Birthday Bash, chalked the edges and added a few gems with my Irock to the corners. I used gold cardstock for the outside square and the lacy scallop behind the boy. The decorate paper is K&C Company Best of Brenda Walton. I wrapped twine around the square.

Inspired Stamps Design Team!!

I am excited to be joining the inspired stamps design team!!

So here is the first thing I made with these wonderful stamps. I love this cutie little Praying Girl. The other stamp is a single bible verse stamp. I chalked the edges of both stamps and colored the little girl with Copics. I added a little bling with metal accents that have glitter on them with my Irock.
I used chip board that I decorated with paperby K&C Company Best of Brenda Walton. I added index cards inside and bound it with my Bind It All. I added ribbon to the spiral rings.
I am excited to be part of this DT and love working with Antoinette's  stamps. Check out her blog for some great inspiration.

Gift Set and Agenda Base

I made gift sets for a charity organization to give to the three recipients of a full scholarship to our local state college.
 I made these post it holders using Abby's tutorial. I put matching paper inside the pens. The front scallop was cut by lacy circles spellbinders and then stamped with this sentiment. I found this stamp in the dollar stamp section and thought it was perfect for these sets.
 I made each person a corner bookmark with their initial on the front.

 These are the base for the agenda that the coordinator is going to print and tape to the red base.
I was excited to hear that the coordinator was happy with these sets.
I packaged these so beautifully and can not find the pictures of them all packet. I am so bummed. Oh well I guess. Thanks for stopping by!

Sew Many Fall Blog Hop

Welcome! Today is new release blog hop day for Sew Many. If you have not joined in on a challenge with us you should start with this one!Sew Many has the cutest digital stamps! I am showing you one in this wonderful set. Stop by the other DT blogs to see the rest.
Look at this image! I just love him. Stryder Pumpkin is a Sew Many image. I colored him with my Copics.
Closer view of this cute little guy. I decided to make Halloween bags this week so that I can give them to some of my students that don't have the means to purchase a trick or treat bag. I know they are just going to love these bags I made this week.


Isn't this ghost super cute. I love that I only had to add a little color with my Copics. I tried a new technique that I saw on a fellow crafters blog.
I cut circles out the scraps of decorate paper that I used on my banner. Then adhered them to the black cardstock then embossed it. It is an interesting way to make a background.
