*Sentimental Sundays #181: Thank You

Good morning-
Happy Sunday!!!
Happy Sunday!!!
Today, at Sentimental Sundays it's time for a new challenge.
This weeks theme is:
Giving Thanks
We are being sponsored by Saturated Canary this week. We were allowed to pick an image to play with and I have chosen; Grow.  Love this shabby looking gal and her layers of clothing!!
Love that the image came with a sentiment too!!!  I how was hoping to create a more vibrant card but, it just didn't turn out that way!!  I think the gloomy cold weather had something to do with it!!  LOL

So I hope you will stop by Sentimental Sundays and give the DT a shout out, as well as check out their amazing creations!!! Enjoy the rest of your day. 

I would like to join the following challenges:

Good morning-
It's time for another Sentimental Sundays challenge.
This weeks theme is:
OMBRE HAIR
Image: SC: Tea and a BookMedium: Copic, Sentiment: The Cat's Pajamas: "Ship Happens"Paper:MME: Collectable "Remarkable", Embellishment:Prima: Say It In Crystals "Divine"

We are being sponsored by Saturated Canary and Krista has generously allowed us to pick and color one of her images.  Today I am using Tea and a Book I love all her images, but this image really spoke to me, when thinking of the challenge.   BTW...that is how short I will planning on cutting my hair.
This will be a HUGE jump for me, since it's been almost 12 years, since I had short hair!!  So I will be sure to do before and after pictures!!!  So scared!!!  :)
I had so much fun coloring this image!!
I am really trying to practice on my pleats and folds.
Really love how the sweater turned out and I am not so keen on her hair, but it looks rather well.
You have to check out what the rest of the team created for this challenge, you will love it!!

Exotic Love

Morning-
I wish I wouldn't trust Blogger...my post didn't post on time. :( 

Well today at Sentimental Sundays, we have a lovely challenge to part take in this week. 
This weeks theme is:
LACE and PEARLS.
We all have them....we all love them...So whip them out and join us!!!
We are being sponsored by Saturated Canary this week and I am playing with Blanche.
She just has this sophisticated, foreign exotic look to her...I just love it.

So here is my card sample for this weeks challenge:
The base of my card has been cut out using my Cameo.  The patterned paper is from Prima Marketing: Welcome to Paris.  The red and yellow flower are form the same line.  I used my Spellbinders Oval, Oval Scallop and Oval Lacey dies were used to back the colored image on.
Everything was distressed with Walnut Stain Distress ink.  Image was colored with Copic.  Lace and pearls are from my stash.
Here is a close up of the charm and the glitter on the flowers.
So join us this week...How can you go wrong with Lace and Pearls?!?!

Bright and Warm Christmas

Hello everyone-
Happy Sunday!!
Today is moving day for us and it's suppose to rain! RAINING!!
  This just adds more frustration as to why I dislike the task of moving. ARGH!!!
On a brighter note and I do mean brighter!! :)
Today at Sentimental Sundays, we are asking you to make a Christmas card/project using:
NON-Traditional Christmas Colors

Calypso#131a
Calypso#131b
And here is a picture of the inside.

Calypso#131c
The stamped sentiment is from an old Hero Arts stamp set.
I also used a bigger version of the hibiscus flower I used in the front, which were made using Cheery Lynn Dies: Build A Flower #2. I really love how this all came together and will be the perfect card to send to my friend in Aruba.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

LOL!!!

Anyways…..

Isn't she something?!?!?!
I am goo goo over these images!!! 

I thought I was going to work with with this weeks sketch from deconstructed Sketch, but things didn't quiet work out that way!!!  My craft supplies are still in boxes and I didn't have any pattern paper to work with, so I couldn't finish the sketch!!! :( 
So instead I have a more simpler card for you!!

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

I hope to get a chance to visit your blogs this week and see what Halloween projects you submitt!!
