WishRAK - Magical Thank You

This card is for the WishRAK May Challenge Number 1: Any Fancy Fold.  I chose an Easel card, since I'd never done one before.  It measures 5 1/2 inches square, perfect for a 6" envelope (if I ever buy any. LOL!)

The blue card stock (Blue Bayou and Soft Sky) and the image, via an ACTUAL STAMP ~ thanks Mary Ann! ~ are from WishRAK. The image is CC Designs Swiss Pixies: Birgitta on a Tree Stump. I added the Scalloped Scallops Die-Namics at to keep it standing, they're popped up at the corners with a couple of pop dots. The DSP and the Soft Subtles buttons were from the Clearance Rack at Stampin Up, Couldn't resist a huge bargain!!

You may notice, the upper sentiment is from "A little bit of Magic." It's hard to see here, but this little gal has wings, and they're sparkly. The sentiment was fitting.  I also added the tiniest mount on her. (normally she has none).  She was just begging for a smirk!

Thanks for looking!

Another WRAK challenge.  This is for the 3rd Card of the WRAK May card contest. It is to follow the Sketch " GKDJAN10TM " show here. 

Obviously I didn't use a Gina K image LOL.

My Tilda was my WRAK item.

WishRAK - "All Boy"

This is for the 2nd card of the WRAK May Card Challenge. I thought it would be my most challenging, because I am out of some of the colors. Turns out, it was the easiest. I subbed Kraft for Sahara Sand, and the other 2 colors are Mellow Moss and Close to Cocoa. Paper is Basic Grey Origins and My Minds Eye (this from JenMarie)

The image was from Avery123 and I colored him with Copics. Still learning ;) I used Kraft ribbon, Robins Nest Dew Droplets and a large brad up in the corner. All trial and error. LOL!

TMITA Challenge -More Tulips!

This week's TMITA Challenge was a 1-2-3 challenge:

1 - Paper Cupcakes image
2 - Ribbons
3 - Buttons

We can use more than just that, but we had to use at least those items.  Here is my final result!

Even though I won the 2 images last week, I chose to use an image I purchased, because I've been eagerly anticipating our trip to the Tulip Gardens in Holland next month! 

I also chose to use the "SCS Sketch 268" layout because of a WRAK monthly challenge. The other image and the sentiment were given to me by fellow wishRAK members. It was a hard sketch, and I hope I interpreted it well! 

For the TMITA challenge, I found using the buttons difficult.  I don't use buttons often, so they seem very out of place.  Brads, I can handle those. Buttons, not so much! The ribbons are combined at the bottom; one is a white striped sheer, and the other is cranberry colored. 

Did I mention that I also put fresh flowers on my dining room table this week? (Only cost 8 Euro! LOVE the flowers here!) Perhaps that has also inspired my color choice this week. Nah, they're just my fave colors. Even my wedding colors, 12.5 years ago :)

  

 Hope you're having a great weekend!  

WRAK Spectacular Today!

I received 6 wRak envies in the mail today!! (Beautiful bRak cards too!) Not to mention some MFT goodies, a stamp set from JenMarie at Ippity that I couldn't resist, and an eBay purchase - Wild Wasabi stamp pad to round out my '08 in-color inks. Oh, and my mom's package with 3 packs of GP 110 cardstock is finally here too!

It almost feels like my birthday! Oh wait. It just was. *Ü*

Hopefully I'll have time to play this week, it's shaping up to be a busy one.
