hey how ya doin'? here is my card for the sketch challenge on mojo monday sketch #42 , i have recently found out you can get the plain rhinestones and color them with your copic markers and make them any color you want. so now i have orange rhinestones to go with my orange bird. the d.p. is bali breeze from s.u. mounted on pumpkin pie on a fold of tempting turquoise. hope you like and thats all for today folks. hope you have enjoyed seeing these as much as i have enjoyed creating them for you.

well i have to admit that i have never heard of the serendipity technique before, but this weeks challenge at magnolia was just that. they posted some very good examples and places to see more about the technique so i played along. the technique is basically tearing little bits of paper and gluing them on a base to make a collage type of background. its a little tedious but wow! what a cool look, if you click on the picture you can get a close up of it. so here is my card for week #24 challenge. i dearly love my magnolia stamps, i just cant get enough of their cute little faces. well on with the show....

are ya still with me? my next picture is a card that i did for the friday sketchers week #7. this has got to be one of my all time favorites! the stamp is from magnolia and most of the c.s. is stampin up and of course it wouldn't be me without the prismacolor pencils. hope you like! fridaysketchers post a new sketch every friday
