Coffee Avery

 

Today is the 9th and it is now time for another The Three Musketeers post. We are ready to showcase the card we all created with the Paper Nest Doll's image that Jeanette sent out for our August card, #108! That means we are at the end of year number 9 with this fun challenge! All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time! 

Jeanette sent Kelly and me this sweet Paper Nest Doll's Coffee Avery image.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers--she is so sweet with her cup of coffee!    I die cut an oval from a Gina Marie Designs Peekaboo Oval Die out of Island Indigo and then embossed the panel with a Spellbinders Dazzling Dots folder.  I cut the word coffee from a Studio Katia Script Coffee die out of Early Espresso.  It also comes with a backer, but I did not use it.  I also layered the word three times.  I did not add any bling to my card this time!  I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card!

Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards!  Kelly is up for our September challenge--please be sure to join us again.

Elf Emma With Lights

 

This is my card for a swap called the SIS--Surprise Image Swap.   This is card #5  for our group.  It is a bi-monthly swap where we all use the same image, sent to us by the hostess.  The surprise part is that we are to not discuss the image at all until the day they are to be posted--the 18th of every other month.   The image for this round was provided by Diane.  She will swap the cards and include the new image for round #7 that Terry stamps in everyone's return envie. Then--we do it all again in February!

Diane sent everyone this sweet Christmas image by Paper Nest Dolls called Elf Emma with Lights.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I added some Pops of Color Glitter called Snowflake on the fur of her elf hat!  I picked a 6x6 paper pack by Stampin' Up called Wrapped in Plaid and decided on three patterns for the background.  I layered each strip with gold mirri cardstock.  I added some Taylored Expressions Gold Drip Drops for a bit of bling.  

If you check some of the other blogs listed on my sidebars, you may find some other swappers who have posted their creations.  The due date is today, the 18th, or they may post in the upcoming days. You can also check out SCS and use the keyword SIS06 to see some posted there.  I hope everyone in the swap likes my card--and that you do too!

Happy Birthday Denise!

Today, The Project Bin's Design Team is celebrating the birthday of Denise, the owner and designer of The Project Bin.  In honor of Denise's birthday, her design team is hosting a blog hop to showcase her wonderful stamps!

I’m the second to the last stop on birthday hop.  Denise is Kind, Caring and such a Sweet Lady.  I am able to say those words as I was blessed to meet Denise in person last summer when we visited the Washington DC area. I’m thrilled to be part of this birthday hop because birthdays are so much fun when you get to celebrate wonderful people!  Denise, the wish I have for you on your birthday today is to celebrate in style, laugh often, hugs those you love and enjoy some awesome cake!  

The next person on our fun hop is Tracie-and I am sure she has a sweet card for you to check out!  If you just came to my blog, you might want to start at the beginning of the birthday blog hop with Kelly's amazing blog.   You also should stop at The Project Bin Blog to wish Denise a Very Happy Birthday!

I used the Born Yesterday stamp set from The Project Bin to create this card today.  I love this set as it has some fantastic sentiments:

Denise, I hope you get to smile, giggle and belly laugh on your special day and make sure to hug your wonderful hubby and sweet son!    `

If you haven't seen the stamps at The Project Bin, there is truly something for everyone!   Whether it's sweet and inspiring, or whimsical and fun, The Project Bin has it all - perfect for all your card making needs.  And, many of the stamp sets come with coordination dies--how cool is that!

Here is the inside of my card:

Are you ready to hop?  Here is the link again to Tracie's blog and Kelly's blog too if you want to start at the beginning,.  We hope you enjoyed hopping along with us as we joyfully celebrate with Denise on her special day!

And, I do hope you have enjoyed my card and will stop by The Project Bin Blog to wish Denise a very happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Denise, You Gorgeous Lady!  
Cheers to you and many more!
