Sundays Best

It’s Sunday Best at Brown Sugar Challenge featuring Come Sunday Digital stamps by Robert Jackson.  Since I used several of the digitals in the altered coasters I posted in June, I decided to use them in Pink Sunday. My church celebrates Pink Sunday on the 3^rd Sunday in October.  The first card is the pastor bringing the message from Word Art Wednesday scripture I Peter 5:7.

The second card was inspired by 365 cards  using their sketch which I thought was adorable.  If you pull the ribbon at the top of the card you will find a book mark.  I think I might play along this week for inspiration since I have so many cards to create.  Check out the multiple views below.

Feminine vs. Masculine

Todays post has a feminine and masculine touch.  As you know, October celebrates the lives of our Breast Cancer survivors.  Scraps of Color is having a Girlfriends Relay Challenge and last week’s feature was  Toni Childs on the hit TV sitcom.  Robert Jackson is the artist. I used micro beads on her dress....You know Ms. Toni

Toni played the one that was stuck on ‘self’, but as you see she’ll give you one free hug for the cause.  There is always LOVE centered around many who struggle to live and those who want to give.  Memascrafts is giving proceeds for entering a BCA/pink project so there is still time to enter. 

AND

I don’t make many masculine cards so I was thrilled to give it a try.  The vintage car was received in a swap and of course the gear was added  for Tuesday Alchemy challenge.    I just love the sentiment. Can’t remember where I found it from. This card was inspired by Vintage Elusions.

Let's Put Up a Fight!

Let’s Put Up a Fight to win the Cure for Breast Cancer.  Today is the day through October to enter your entry at Jackson's Digital Expressions and Memascrafts.  They are donating per entries posted on their sites.  Check out Dawns Crafting.  She has a Breast Cancer Awareness and/or Think Pink challenge with an amazing blog post that will surely inspire you, but it ends September 29th so hurry over.  Won’t you participate?  This is my entry…ATC cards. Scraps Of Color also joined in the cause by asking every member to create five ATC’s to be distributed amongst our Breast Cancer Survivors on our sites and other friends. ATC's are like Lay's potato chips...you can't create just one.

 

I doubled the fun with 10!

Jackson's Digital Expressions Request Your Support

Hello everyone,

On Tuesday, September 25, 2012, Jackson's Digital Expressions  will be starting early on our mission to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness. I’m sure you are like me with several you know who have fought the fight or in the fight. Check out my past creations.  Here's one of them.

 

 

I am a Design Team member and we have a few members that have pledged to donate $.25 to Breast Cancer Research for every entry in our challenge. We are not looking for monetary donations only your participation! Post a notice on your blog. Tell your crafty friends to join in.

Also our sister site Mema's Crafts  is pledging $10 for every 40 entries (cumulative) she gets in her October challenge. Lets fight this together. Pink is the color often used for Breast Cancer Awareness, but breast cancer has no color. It effects all of us. Won’t you join us? 

 

I’ll be posting a new creation every Tuesday in October. Most important .... Have you had your mammogram this year? I've scheduled mine.

A Friend Loves at All times

I slipped in a layout this week!  My two post are about friends. I want to start off with this card, which I think I went card challenge crazy, but I so love creating using all the various elements.

 ==================================================

Next this layout was created for Classy Girl Sketch and Stash Challenge  week 33.  Below is the inspiration and my take on the sketch.  We were to grab two photos and a page kit.  The paper and chipboard embellies are from Target's $1 bin yearssssss ago.  I'm not sure if they still sell scrapbook kits in their dollar bin.  The papers are indeed pretty, but they are very thin.  Since I'm use to working with cardstock, it was a bit delicate for me.  Title reads:  Back in the Day -  FRIENDS.  I've been a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc  since 1982 and my sorors have been a blessing to me.

The journaling was a bit light, but it reads, "Relationships create the fabric of our lives.  They are the fibers that weave all things together. - Eden Froust.  Thought it was most appropriate since I used  different patterns and colors.  We are Friends and Sorority Sisters.  In the photos Janiece is standing next to me and that's us again squatting down chatting 'as usual'.  We've been friends since age 5 and now we are 51....WOW!

Well until my next post friends....Have a Wonderful Weekend! 

It's as Simple as Black & White

I had to break the Pink posts with Black & White.  One of my co-workers is getting married and I made this card for her.  It will be entered in Mojo Monday #259 sketch.  I absolutely love this sketch so you'll probably see it again.  The digital image is by Robert Jackson. 

Supplies:
Robert Jackson digital image
Teresa Collins measuring tape paper
Stampin Up sentiment
Copic markers and Gelly roll pen
Prima flowers

 

For the month of September over at Scraps of Color we are having a Relay challenge.  It's based on the hit TV show "Girlfriends".  Do you recognize the character below?  This card will be entered in   Our Creative Corner.  Their challenge is to make a card for a male using this sketch and if we wish we could use a Monochromatic color scheme and have fun....It was a lot of fun!!! Also entered this card in  The Pink Elephant  Monochromatic Color scheme challenge TPE #166.



Supplies:
Robert Jackson digital image
Me & My Big ideas paper
We R Memory Keepers twine
Copic Markers

 

 

Looks like both cards made a LOVE connection!

Two Cute

It's that time again to win some free digital stamps at Jacksons Digital Expressions Color Challenge #23.  I have two cute cards to share.  The first is using two digital stamps from Fine Arts by Robert Jackson.  His work is remarkable. Although I used 'Cute' as the sentiment, I'm sure that young man is saying something else. : )  Maybe a date?  Maybe a sweet compliment?

Entered in Classy Card Sketch Challenge 5

On both cards I used a paper pack from the Dollar Tree I purchased yearsssssssssss ago.  The blue is a denim print, the pink a heart print and I used DCWV mat stack for the yellow. The little roses are from Michael's.  Our sponsor this week is My Heart Pieces.

Don't forget the challenge ends soon at Jackson's Digital Expressions.  Our Design Team was inspired using these colors.  Be sure to post your project by Sunday.
