Ready for another T Slide card?

I hope so, because these are so much fun to make!!  Let's get right to it shall we...

How can you not love this image?  She is adorable!!  The image is Audrey with a cupcake from The Stamping Boutique.  It's a digi image that I had purchased a long time ago, but if you go there now it is on special and all this week all the digi's are $1.00 off.  I had to plug them, I really ♥love♥ their images...

Anyway, I colored the image with my pencils and gamsol and cut it out with my small scallop oval nesties.  I also cut out a piece of Cherry Cobbler in the same size to layer behind it, just a little off center.  The swirls that you see behind the image are from Butterfly Swirls from The Angel Company that I stamped with Close to Cocoa ink.  The sentiment is from SU! For a Friend that is also stamped with Close to Cocoa ink also and I hand cut around it and layered it on to a piece of Cherry Cobbler.  I love that new color!!  The DP is from SU! and I'm sorry but it is the discontinued Sweet Always paper.  I added some jewels and ribbon once the card was put together, as always it was an after thought ~ I always think that I need just one more thing to a card when I "think" that I'm done Ü

The sentiment inside is from TAC's Everyday Events that I stamped with Close to Cocoa ink on Close to Cocoa paper.  I used my Modern Label punch to punch the sentiment out and I layered it on to a piece of Cherry Cobbler that I punched out with my Marvy Super Jumbo Scallop Oval punch. 

I still don't like the slider part.  When you open these cards it's fine, however when you go to close them the tab on the right side get's hooked up.  I have something different in the works for that so look for the tutorial tomorrow...

So that's all I've got for today ~ hope that you can wait til tomorrow for the tutorial.  Have a super great day an thanks for stopping by!!

SC280 For a Friend

Howdy everyone!  This post will be a quick one ~ I'm in between cleaning bathrooms right now.  Who ever thought that 3 bathrooms in a house would be good?  A man for sure who does not have to clean them Ü

Our good friend Joyce is on a plane right now from California!!  She makes the trip every year since we've moved out here.  I just love her ~ she's like my other Mother.  She'll be here for almost 6 weeks this time, yippity skippity!!  Hopefully we will get in some serious crafting time too!  Now I just have to get Betty over here....

Did I say quick post??  Sometimes my fingers ramble on and on and on....

I got a little time in yesterday to do the sketch challenge on SCS.  And it was perfect timing because I had to make a birthday card for a dear friend too!!

It was for sketch challenge 280 yesterday.  I look forward to those each week, even if I don't get around to doing them. 

The base card is Chocolate Chip that I layered with Creamy Caramel and some Pink Pirouette and Close to Cocoa DP.  The little girl image is Audrey from The Stamping Boutique, she's a digi image.  I colored her in with pencils and gamsol and cut her out and pop dotted her on to the card.  The sentiment is a stamp that I've had for years from SU! and the balloons are from Hero Arts.  I colored the balloons in with pencils and gamsol and then used stickles for a little "pop"...  sorry for the pun...  Then I added some rhinestones and I was complete.

I hope that you have a wonderful day today!!  See you tomorrow!
