Royal Kat Tuesday!

Hey all! Welcome again to Royal Kat Tuesday! I hope you are having a fantastic day! You should have arrived here from the QKD blog, if not, head on over to www.qkd.bloodspot.com and see what Nina made!
As for me, I have a little something for you. This week we were given a fantastic cupie cake picture for inspiration and here's what I came up with.. You see, cupie cakes make me think of birthdays and that's the direction I had to take.



For this one I used the sock monkey set, which is fantastic, i must say! I have a sock monkey named Gunther who lives in my craft room. This card is Gunther approved.

Alrighty, I have to run, Kev thieved my laptop and I have to finish this before his poker tourney starts back up, so please head on over to Nancy and check out her awesomeness!

Enjoy!

Royal Kat Tuesday!

Hi all! It's TUESDAY!! And you know what that means! Royal Kat Tuesday and the blog hop! Hopefully I'm the second stop on the hop, if not, head on back to the beginning at www.qkd.blogspot.com and see what Nina made! As for me, I am happily typing my first post on the iPad! Yeah!!! It takes a little getting used to for the postings but I LOVE it!!! It's SO pretty and awesome!!! Anywho, time to talk about the card, we were given a color challenge of red, white and blue... Well.... I kinda used different colors... Like pink yellow and black but if you give it an artistic eye, you can see how the challenge colors inspired me to use these ones instead... Get it?







I used a few different sets, the busy set is where I got the sentiment and I also used the tread background stamp for a little added texture. the snazzy cut out is from our new templates line which is AMAZING! You must go buy some for your very own! So, that does it for me! Head on over to Nancy at http://craftynancy.blogspot.com/ and see what she has waiting for you!

Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday!

Hidey ho hoppers! Tuesday morning rhymes and a creation for you as well! I should be your first stop after leaving the QKD blog. If no, head on over there and start at the beginning! So, are you having a nice morning? I am tracking my iPad online. That's right, it shipped!! Yesterday morning it was in China, now Hong Kong, I shall continue to stalk the FedEx man! I'll keep everyone posted and hopefully next week I'll be extolling the virtues of the iPad!

Well, we had a fabu sketch to work with this week, one that I kind of, ahem, altered.:) For this one I am featuring some older stamps and some new treats.

Where to begin, where to begin... I started by taking a standard sized card and then I traced out one of our new templates and cut it out. Don't you just LOVE that pattern??? I matted the image with some gray paper and used one of our older background stamps for a little bit of texture. Then I colored up a Bodice Image with some Copics. Do you see the new Happy Stixx?? I roughed that up a bit too and colored it with a Copic marker. I am ridiculously pleased with this one and I hope you like it too!!

Well, that's it for me for now! head on over to Nancy and see what she has in store for you!

Enjoy!

Royal Kat Tuesday!

Hey all! There has been a slight change in the weekly hops and now instead of 2 per week, we're condensing into one! I am SO excited about the change! It makes it so much easier to see everyone's awesome creations all in one place then you don't have to worry about missing the other hop! Anywho, I'm super excited and I know that the rest of the design team is as well! Now, you should have arrived here from the QKD blog. If not, go there now so you can start at the beginning!

So for this week we had a super fun sketch to work with, and to make it even better, QKD decided to go old school and we pulled out some oldies but goodies from the store. I had Busy this month.

Such a fun set to play with! You likey, you should head to the store and one for yourself! If you look closely you'll see a little scalloped edge on the side of the card. I used our new line of templates. Now you can have cool patterned edges even if you don't have fancy machine! All you need is a pencil and some scissors! Easy!!
Now your time with me is through, so head on over to Nancy and see what awesomeness she has waiting for you!
Enjoy!
