Stampin' In Alaska

It's time again to share a few photos of our current projects with the Sassy ladies over on Sassy Cheryl's blog . Each week we share what we're working on and Cheryl randomly selects one entry for a FREE image giveaway! So, this week's project is a wall collage for my niece. Since she is 2000 miles away, I decided to put together a photo collage for her nursery. I am including some blocks with Alaskan animals and such. The first photo shows the photo sleeve and a few items already together. The second photo shows my desk and the pieces I still plan to get into the sleeves. It's a labor of love and may take a few more days to complete. Then I have to gently fold it and get it into a priority mailing box and send it to my sister. Thanks for stopping by this week! It's been busy at my house so I'm running a little behind with my post!

Judy is our hostess this week over on the Sassy Cheryl Digi Stamp Challenge Blog . Judy's challenge is a color combo of Lavender, White and Green. The image I used this week is one of Cheryl's newer images called " Cup of Cocoa ". I think she is so adorable in this big comfy chair with her cup of cocoa! Of course, I had to paper piece the chair and pillows. The little girl part of the image was colored with Copic Markers. The flowers and leaf flourish are die-namics from My Favorite Things. The card base was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug emboss folder and sanded. The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called "Like It a Latte". Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

This week Jeni has challenged us to use stitching with our Sassy Cheryl digital images. I chose to use this sweet image by Cheryl called "April Showers". I colored her with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil. The image was paired with papers from Echo Park For the Record paper stack. The cloud die border is from The Cat's Pajamas and cut from white felt. I did machine stitching around the panels and base of the card. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

This week's challenge over on Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog is to use Blue. One of my favorite Mo Manning images is " Fishing ". It's so detailed and perfect for the men in my family. A couple of week's ago, DT member Dawn created a sunrise scene with this image. It was so gorgeous that I had to give it a try! The image was colored with Copic Markers, the water with SU watercolor crayons and the sky was sponged with Memento inks. Below is a photo of the inside of this card which is 5.25 square. I made this for my grandfather who is an avid fisherman. He will be 89 years YOUNG next month!

I couldn't resist using red felt with the MFT Die-namics rolled rose for this card. The sketch is for this week's MFT challenge over on Splitcoast. I'm also entering the card in the Fabulous Felt Challenge in the Moxie Fab World . I love the dimension and texture that felt gives to a project! I've used a digital version of the Pure Innocence "You're So Tweet" by Heather Ellis. The image has been colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil. I used the Leafy Flouris and Dizzy Doily Die-namics by MFT as well. A Martha Stewart border punch was used with SU Barely Banana cardstock. This sweet image has been combined with Echo Park "For the Record" paper pack. I love these papers!! Thanks for stopping by to take a look! I hope you have a chance to be creative this week.

This sweet little image is called "Catch My Drift" The Cat's Pajamas. I have been anxiously awaiting my order for this adorable Cutup from TCP called "Cloud Border". I decided it was perfect for this week's supply challenge with TCP and ran white felt through with the Cutup to get this sweet border. The main image has been color with Koh-i-Noor pencils and baby oil. I sponged the background of the image replicate a cloudy sky. The papers are Beach Babe from Fancy Pants Designs. I am really loving the colors in this paper pack! They are yummy! I've combined it with the Moxie Fab World Fabulous Felt Challenge . Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

This week's sketch over on the CPS - Card Sketches blog is My Favorite Things . When I saw the sketch I knew I would use "Just My Type". I love the matching die. I am completely smitten with the detail of this fabulous vintage typewriter! I have combined the MFT image and sentiment with papers from Graphic45 Communique Collection. I love Graphic45 products and I tend to hoard more than use these gorgeous vintage papers! Fun sketch again this week, Tami! I'm glad I got a chance to play along.
