Royal Kat Monday-Up Up and Away

Thanks for hoppin' on bye for the Royal Kat Monday blog hop.  You should have landed here from Steph's blog, if not you want to start at the beginning at the Queen Kat Designs blog so you don't miss a thing.  This week our challenge was to use Green Blue and Orange on our cards.  Also this weekend the Queen Kat herself hosted some extra challenges for the court to play with.  So I combined the color challenge with a sketch that she provided.  Here is the result:

Here is a second card from the weekend that happens to fit this challenge as well.  We were to make a Belated card and use the color orange.  Since I already had the papers out, this card came together quickly.  It also fits the sketch provided at the Oh Alice Challenge Blog.

In Style Stamps Wednesday Green Challenge

It's Hula Days over at In Style Stamps.  See that cute little blinkie on the side of my blog???  Follow it to In Style Stamps and grab your own and you can get a free Leila Digi Image just like I did.  She is ADORABLE.  I have been following the festivities over at ISS and saw the cutest idea on Taylor's blog yesterday, she cut up a cheep  bamboo window shade  to use as a layer on her card.  Today I was out at Bed Bath and Beyond and found some great bamboo place mats for $1.99 each and cut one up for my card.  Thanks for the inspiration!  The Wednesday Challenge is to show just a hint of green in your cards for St Patrick's Day.  Here is my card:

Royal Kat Monday-Bunny Hop

You should have hopped here from Steph's blog if not you will want to go back to the Queen Kat Designs Blog to start the hop from the beginning because you aren't going to want to miss a thing. This week we have a great sketch to work with.

 

 

I used the new Painting Bunnies set.  I cut out the paint drops that were part of the set and added a little dimension by using tear drop rain spots by Fiskars that I have had in my collection for a few years now.  Aren't they perfect for this card?

Now HOP (get it, bunny HOP) on over to see Keely and then hop on to the Queen Kat Designs store to pick up some of these great Alice in Wonderland inspired stamps.

Friday Fun Challenge-Back to Basics

Hi all!  I am the hostess this month for our Friday Fun Challenge.  I had so much fun with Sherry's challenge last month I decided to do a Back to Basics Challenge as well.  This week make a card with NO COLORING.  Get out your solid stamp images and colored ink pads and stamp on your card.  Extra points if you even STAMP your background and don't use any patterned paper.  Don't break out in a cold sweat, we can do this ;)

I didn't go for the extra credit....I used patterned paper, but it was kinda hard for me to find a stamp to use. I am so used to coloring now that I guess I don't buy many solid image stamps.  It was fun though to just use ink and a stamp.  

 

I actually combined a few challenges here.  I used the SC270, C4C26 to use at least 3 textures on your card (cuttlebug, satin ribbon, metal brads. flat cs) , And the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge to use a movie as a theme (can you guess my movie?)

Stamps: Beware Pirates-Stampin' Up!

I'm Mad as a Hatter about the upcoming releases for Queen Kat Designs this Wednesday.  I was lucky enough to be asked to create my card this week with the new Wonderland Friends set.  Can you guess what some of the images in this set may be?  Yup, Alice and the Red Queen, 2 sentiments and the mad Hatter.  Fun! Fun! Fun!  Here is this weeks sketch:

 

I had to slightly modify the sketch to fit my images, but it's pretty close.
