The copic marker I used are: Cheese and Helmet Y15, Y14, Y11. Shirt, loves G24, G22, G21. Bear, Boys boots E35, E34, E33, E31, E30. Skin E00, E50. C00 Bears pants and on the Directions: First I have to tell you I had no pattern. Easel cards are easy to make and you could make them in any shape you want to, so I tried to make one in a football shape and this what I came up with. So if you look at a football this is what it kind of look like. I colored all my stamped images and added them to the card and this is what I got. I hope you enjoy my card. It was fun to make. Have a super week.

My grandson has been reading all of Harry Potter Books and he enjoys the books so I thought I would make his birthday card this year with Harry Potter on it. I found this wonderful drawing in the coloring book section for Harry Potter. Their are a lot of wonderful coloring book pictures so it was hard to choose. I do want to mention that it said the drawing was by Eruadan, what a stunning job. I just love the drawing.
Happy Monday to everyone. I hope everyone had a wonderful week end. In a way it was a sad one remembering all that happened 10 years ago, the things all Americans have lost but then it is good to see that people have moved on with their lives. This will never be forgotten and I personally think they are doing a wonderful job in New York City to preserve everything so for generations to come they w8ill be able to understand what had happen. God bless everyone one of those families and all of our Soldiers.

We are starting Challenge #26 at Color Me Creative Classroom and if you color your images with copic markers you are invited to join in on our challenge. We love to see all levels of work and our theme for our challenge is FALL OR HALLOWEEN. Our challenge will end on September 16, 2011 at 8pm.
Here are some samples for the FALL THEME and for the HALLOWEEN THEME. Our Sponsor for this challenge is THE STAMP FAIRY you can win a $15.00 gift certificate for her store and Suzanne is giving away a Package of Cryogen Cardstock. These are some great prizes.
The type of card I made is called a Spinner card. You can fine the directions here to make one yourself, they are easy to make and the kids just love them. What happens if you have never seen one is the sentiment spins around from side to side when you more the card and spins. The images I used are all from Stamp Fairy the house is called Halloween 2, Tommy Wizard was a Freebie sentiment, Tommy Wizard #1 and Pumpkin was also a Freebie. I had merged all my image together and after I did that The Stamp Fairy came out with the Pumpkins so I cut them out for the card.
To create the area for the spinner.
Stampin’ Up punch called Word Window.
Stampin’ Up 1 1/2 inch to punch out the sentiment.Stampin’ Up.
One Stampin’ Dimensional self adhesive foam mounts, they work really well because of the shape.
I also use one penny that gives a little weight so it moves real easy.
NOW WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING THE SPINNER TOGETHER.
You punch out the area were you want for the spinner to be then you put (I used my sentiment) on the front of the card and the pull the paper off the foam mount and stick that to the sentiment and now pull the foam mount off the other side and stick that to the penny. You are going to have to put foam tape all around your card so it is lifter up so your spinner has room to spin. You can more your card side to side and see the spinner spin. I only made a small area for the spinner you can make your area as big as you want. DONE.
Here is the close up of the images. Roof E17, E15, E13, E11. Front B14, B12, B000. Window and Sentiment Y15, Y13, Y11. Door and Owl E37, E35, E34, E33. Pumpkins YR68, YR65, YR61. Stem E34, E35.

Welcome to my blog! I have to tell you have been making comments on other blogs and I do have to said sometimes it is hard to see their card when they leave their card so small even when you click on their card to make it bigger the card does not get much bigger. So I glad I’ve been making my card pretty big so everyone can see all of the card. It is time for Squigglefly. I just love the image I used it is called “Teddy Garden”. The sentiment is from Sentiment 4 you.

We are starting now with Challenge #17 at Cards for Men, if you would like to join us the challenge is ANYTHING GOES but you need to remember you need to make a MAN OR A BOYS CARD. The challenge starts today and ends August 28th. Our sponsor for this challenge is Hope Jacare. The image is called “Bird in a Tree”. My background paper is from the Angel Company. My dots are made from the Pearl Pen color Sunny Yellow. You can win 3 digi’s from her designs
I'm a SAHM with three young children. I trained in Textile Design at the Glasgw School of Art and I love all things handmade, but especially papercrafts. I love to doodle ... and my doodles are available to purchase as digital images through Stitchy Bear Stamps.
This is how I did my card. I did a little tutorial for you to sow you how I made the frame around the tree.
I used my brayers to created the colors on my card. I used Kaleidacolor and the ink color I use is Melon Melody, if you have never used this ink it is an ink that you can slide a part after you open the top and it is raised it come in so many different shades of colors it is by Tsukineko.
I punched the edges with Carl Carla Craft corner punch. When you start with your thread you need to start on the back and tape it close to the edge. Very thin Metallic thread when I wrapped it around several times on one side to give it a thicker look.
Go to the next punched area and wrap it around several times for the thickness, and so fourth.
This is a picture of Carl Carla Craft corner punch.
Here is the finished framed card. I hope you enjoyed my simple card. We had a wonderful week end in Wisconsin the weather was perfect. I hope your week end was just as nice.

Stitchy is also having a challenge all you have to do is use one of the images they sell in the store. So the is challenge #74 for them. I also used her for one of Splitcoast Stamper challenges called Dare to get Dirty and that is how I got the sketch for my card.. This is the first time I have enter a card in one of Splitcoast Stamper challenges so that was fun. The sentiment I used is from Digi Doodles.
I used several punches one from Punch a Bunch called small maple leaf and the other one from McGill’s called flourishes. I used my Spellbinder Scalloped Oval to cut out the image, Stampin up circle punch to cut out the sentiment. Pearl Pen and added some Sunny Yellow dots. My paper is DCWV (Die Cut With a View). I printed my image out on Neenah solar white. Sponged around the top with Brilliance ink Sky Blue.

Can you believe this I’m still working on getting better. I do not like this. My sore throat is better but I’m still horse when I talk so I try not to talk but still pretty weak. I take a medication for my arthritis that make it hard for me to fight off any kind of infections but this is the first time I have been sick since I have been on this medication. I’m not sure this is the right thing for me. I’m going to have to have a talk with my Rheumatologists. Enough about that.

This is a nice way to use some of my beads also.
