MMSC138

Hey everyone!  Welcome to this month's 

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.

My card features a wonderful digital image

from Priscillastyles called Man With.

In addition to the sketch we have a little

extra challenge; use at least one button.

This image is so perfect for Father's Day or 

for a man's birthday.

Here's the sketch I followed which shows you that

you can turn what looks like a feminine sketch into

something for a man.

Here's a close up.

Here's the inside.

Tools & accessories:

Martha Stewart: border punch

3 Spellbinders ovals, Label die

Buttons

Metal embellishments

Pin It

MMSC137 Use a tag!

Welcome to this month's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge!

I always think it's fun to use a tag on your card so 

I really liked this one!

I turned the sketch on it's side because my image

from Bugaboo fit better that way.

A lot of times I make 2 cards at a time.  One 

to send and one to sell.  The sketch challenge card

was sent to my Father-in-law for his birthday.

He lived on a lake for 20 years and loves to 

fish so I thought he'd like this!

This one I made to sell.

I used a Spellbinders label die for the verse and a

Fiskars wave border punch.

MMSC136 Sketch and GREEN challenge!

Oh YAY!!  It's another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge...

and....this months optional, additional challenge is GREEN!

My favorite color!!

“Digistamps 4 Joy was born in July 2010. What began as a “brainwave” developed into a rather successful journey…  Started by Mel M, and with the help of talented artists and fellow South Africans JenLee, Margy, Sam, Laura and Mel herself, Digistamps 4 Joy was soon reaching an international audience.  Digistamps was a rather unheard of and new craft to many South Africans with most only having access to them if they had a credit card.  Mel and Jen started brainstorming and soon came up with the idea of starting an online store entirely accessible to all South Africans.  Mel having the experience in web and graphic design, and Jen being a wonderful illustrator work together as a team and produce most of the images many people around the world have come to know and love.  Among the many images, you’re sure to find something you like… from fun and whimsical to cute and funny right through to serious and beautiful. Every month a new freebie is available on the website.”

The winner will get her choice of 6 images from the store

This week I've used a brand new image from Priscillastyles.
This fun guy is called Snowed In Snowman.
I chose to use a couple of stamps that I already
owned with him.  I put a martini glass in his hands
and paired it with a humorous sentiment.

Here's a close up of him so you can see how

cute he is!

 He also comes with 7 of his own sentiments.

Just in time for the holidays!

For my card I turned the sketch on its side.
I've used Priscilla's wonderful new "Catching Snowflakes"
on my card.

I've used many fun tools on my card.

The biggest snowflake is from Spellbinders.

The lower right snowflake is a Sizzix cut-n-emboss die.

The rest are various punches. The swirl is from

My Favorite Things. I got my flat back pearls at

Pizazz Aplenty.

The adorable pom pom on her hat was made by my daughter.

You'll never guess how...she was sitting in my craft room with

me but wasn't in the mood to craft.  She grabbed a scrap of curling 

ribbon off the floor and started shredding it.  Next thing she knew

she had a pile of fuzz that she thought would look good on the 

girl's hat.  I think she was right!
