JDE Sketch Challenge- Thanksgiving

Hello Everyone!

Hope all is well with everyone! It's time for another Sketch Challenge over at Jackson's Digital Expressions. This time with an optional twist: Thanksgiving. JDE also, has a sponsor this week; Bugaboo Stamps.

This time I created two cards - for my first card I used Robert Jackson's LIL THANKSGIVING (which is still on sale at a special- for a limited time). Isn't that image way too cute? I also used a sentiment from Create With TLC (that one was a freebie but not sure for how long.) Here are the links for the image and the sentiment:

Here is this week's Sketch for Jackson's Digital Expressions Challenge

I used DP from Me & My Big Ideas: Harvest
I've had that paper pad for 2 years and had only used one sheet from it (oops)

The image was colored with Copic markers

except for the hair (I don't have blacks or grays yet)

 As you can see I had more trouble that usual with my "sewing."

I used Glossy Accents for the knocker/balls

Now on to my Bugaboo card.

I used Christmas Teddy 2 Ornaments. At first I made an oops and didn't realize it was supposed to be a "Thanksgiving theme" and I had chosen a Christmas image to work with but it all worked out in the end because it was just an "optional twist." Again, please excuse my crazy attempt at sewing... I almost started to draw the lines but left it alone. I've sewn much better before... don't know what happened today LOL. Here is the link to the site if you like this digi: http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Christmas-teddy-2-ornaments_p_178.html

Here I used ALL Copic markers

DP is from Martha Stewart Holidays: Winter Wonderland

I don't have buttons like many of my crafty online buddies

but I did have these cute little aluminum bells that I've for a long long time. 

(which I thought went perfect with the image.)

Hope you enjoyed your visit.

Thank you: Nursery Nurse

Hello Everyone!


Hope all is well. Here's another challenge and partnership of new sponsors sites for J.D.E. this week we are are introducing Bugaboo Stamps which are created by Jodie. Jodie is a mom of 5 and has been designing graphics for 9 years. She has many types of stamps from babies to special causes to animals to sexy and to cranky old people (I meant that in the funny way no disrespect to old people teehee.) 


I made this card specifically for the Nursery Nurses. All of my children were born early and there has been no explanations on why except the last one which the doctors think it may have been due to dehydration. Who knows but at the N.I.C.U. the nurses were Nurturing, Understanding, Remarkable, Sweet and Efficient. 

This is my showcase for Bugaboo Stamp: Eggbert Nurse 2

The sketch is for this weeks optional/anything goes challenge at http://jacksonsdigitalexpressions.blogspot.com/

I believe it was also using 3 colors. 

My main colors of course were yellow and then  pink and blue for acccents.

I had this card "almost" done and then I didn't like the designer paper I had previously chosen so I hand drew baby feet like the receiving blankets at the hospital. I also drew them on the baby egg.

I also, didn't have ribbon wide enough so I glued 3 ribbons to make a wider looking ribbon matching the baby's blanket.  

For the sentiment I just used my printer and spellbinders... came up with a few words for each letter in the word NURSE. This would be a great card for a "surprise baby," since it's not gender specific.

Hope you liked the card and enjoyed your visit. 

Hugs,
