CPS 109 Jelly Beans

This is my entry for CPS 109 this week. I was so happy to win last week's drawing. I sure do enjoy participating and look forward to every Sunday when a new sketch is shown.

This card is already on its way to a friend!

Here are the details:

Stamps: Step Away from the Jelly Beans sentiment and image from The Cats Pajamas

Ink: Memories Black

Paper: Prescored white card from California Paper Goods. PP from DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl. Summer Sunrise from PTI. White from PTI.

Other: Copic markers, Diamond Glaze by Judikins, small brads (can't remember), and Nestabilities small ovals.

**** I won the drawing at Card Positioning Systems this week! I am so happy. It's been a tough week medically for me because I developed complications from my hysterectomy and it will take a while to recover and get it under control. So this was a very nice surprise to find out I won the prize from Chris Franco, who sponsored this past weeks sketch drawing.

I have friends who like to knit and they have dogs or cats or dogs and cats! So when I saw this stamp, I just had to get it and make them a card.



Here are the items I used in making the cards:

Stamps: The Cats Pajamas for the image and the sentiment

Ink: Memento Black

Paper: Papertrey Ink Select White; DCWV Citrus matstack; Basic Grey Sugared; the doggy bone paper, I don't know who made that.

Ribbon: Papertrey Ink Spring Rain; doggy bone ribbon, not sure.

Colored with Copic markers.

CPS Sketch 108

This is my card for the Card Positioning Systems sketch this week. This week it's sponsored by Chris Franco, an independent demonstrator for The Angel Company.

I have loved the Crab and Co. stamp set from Stampin Up! since I first saw it last year. I was able to buy it second-hand from someone who was selling a lot of her older stamps. I really like the red, white and blue paper. I need to find some this summer and stock up. I just bought some premade 5 and a quarter square cards from California Paper Goods. I love the size of them.

Ink: Memento black

Paper: white square card from California Paper Goods. Stampers Select White from Papertrey Ink. Pure Poppy from Papertrey Ink. Blue from Prism. Designer paper "Confetti" from My Mind's Eye. Craft paper from Papertrey Ink.

CPS sketch 107

This is my entry for the sketch this week on Card Positioning Systems. I tried something new by stamping the sentiment onto the ribbon. I think it would be better with a lighter-colored ribbon. I sure do enjoy the CPS sketches. It helps me create. I'm not sure why my photo is blurry in one spot.

CPS 105 Snowman with Lights

I'm not crazy about this card but decided to go ahead and post it. I'm still learning! I followed the sketched used in Card Positioning Systems weekly challenge No. 105.

I used classic Yellowgreen Prism card stock from Stamper's Dream as the base. The DP is Happy Holidays from Fancypants that I got from Stamper's Dream. The stamp is a Lockhart Snowman with Lights that I got from Ellen Hutson. I colored the stamp with Copics. I used a scalloped scissor to cut some of the paper.
