MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC106)

 Good Morning folks!
Hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend and stayed safe during the celebrations. I can't believe we're already in the last day of May and going to start June tomorrow! Almost half the year is over already and I feel as though it just started. Well, my son is officially out of school for the summer and has a whopping 12 weeks off! The end of year celebrations went well and Thijs came away with a few very lovely awards for all his hard work and we couldn't be more proud of him. I think all my rushing around though caught up with me in the way of a migraine headache that really whipped me out. I'm so glad I don't have too many of them but this one actually made me nauseous too! Not a nice way to begin the summer holidays that's for sure!
Well, onto our Midnight Madness stuff this week and we once again have a lovely sketch for you all to play along with!

WOW!!!Thank you so much Boni for this months fabulous grand prize!!
For my card this week I chose to use one of my own images and this one I've had for a while but just never used. It's from Elisabeth Bell and was so much fun to color. The card actually came out a little too plain for my usual baby cards but as I wasn't feeling well I kinda had to go with what I could do with a trobbing headache!

The image was colored in copics and prismacolored pencils. Edge punch was from Martha Stewart at Michael's

Teddy and hand buttons from JoAnn's fabrics. I just cut the button holder in the back off so they are actually flat now and stuck them on the card with foam dots.

Label was made from Nesties label maker, word stone from JoAnn's and embossing folder is swiss dots.
Thanks for stopping by today, hope you'll take the time to stop by my DT sister's blogs to leave some love.
Have a great week!
Hugs,
Charlotte

MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC105)

Good Morning Folks!

Hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend began on a happy note after my son's Luau party on Friday morning. His first grade class had an absolute blast on the water slide, throwing water balloons, playing with hula hoops and enjoying a barbecue! Lots of planning but so worth it in the end. On Sunday we had a birthday party to attend and all was going well until one of Thijs' classmates fell on his head and was knocked unconscious! What a frightening experience it was not only for his parents but for all the other parents and children as well. Seeing this little boy not respond was very distressing but fortunately he came round by the time paramedics arrived. He was taken to the hospital on a stretcher and stayed there overnight for observation. The whole class made him get well cards in school yesterday so when he returns he will feel all their love. With situations like this it makes you realise just how quickly a life can change! Makes you appreciate each and every moment!

This week over at Midnight Madness we have another fun sketch for you to play along with.

This weeks sketch...it's "YOUR PICK" Make it fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in-between.

My card this week is from Dude Time Doodles (Boniebleux Designs) and yes I used it a couple of weeks ago! This time I was trying something new for me. It's the first time I've used a digi and colored it one color! I was trying for the sepia effect like the old fashioned photographs, and whether I was successful or not I like how it turned out. I raided DH's garage for the washers and other metal embellishments!! LOL oh and the ribbon is all from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
Thank you for stopping by today, have a great week!

DOODLE DRAGON CHALLENGE - SHADES OF GREEN

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all having a relaxing day and have enjoyed your weekend so far. I'm off to a children's birthday party later this afternoon so I'm making the most of some peace and quiet before we go!

Over at Doodle Dragon Studios we are having another challenge and this one is to do shades of green. I chose an image from Dustin Pike that I'd previously colored for Mother's day but didn't get it onto a card until now. You can find this image HERE in the Mother's day set.  The photo really doesn't show my green dp off very good as it really looks much greener in real life!

I colored my image in copics, added some zig zag stitching to the background dp, some silky ribbon and gems. 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you'll stop by my DT sisters blogs to check out their beautiful work and don't forget to stop by Dustin's blog to see what's new over there. 

Have a great day!

WOW!!!Thank you so much Boni for this months fabulous grand prize!!
This week I used an image from Sparkle Creations called Cruisin' Chloe and I love it! There are many possibilities for this image and I can't wait to make another one with a different colored VW bug!! I initially thought psychedelic for this image but just couldn't get the background correct so it ended up being far from my original plan.

 I made a tag to go into this card too but didn't make it for any specific occasion

Below is a closer look at this adorable image!

The image was colored in copics and layered up on foam dots. Background dp is from DCWV Be Mine Stack, pearls and word stones from Michael's.
Please stop by my DT sisters blogs to check out their gorgeous creations.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC103)

 Happy Tuesday!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend and got to do something fun. My weekend was a good one, on Saturday Thijs helped his daddy change the oil on the truck and it was so funny to see him excited about getting oil in his hair, he didn't want to wash it out!! He is so proud to be just like daddy! Then we had friends over for the afternoon and into the evening, we kinda lost track of time! On Sunday we enjoyed swimming and a barbecue at my in-laws. This was a much needed relaxing weekend after the super busy week I had trying to get all the things organized for teacher appreciation week! Phew, glad that's over with!! Over at Midnight Madness we are celebrating being around for 2 years already! Can you believe it!

My card this week, was made using a fabulous digi from McMahon Five Designs. I just love this digi and it was fun to color. Strawberries are my favorite fruit so I was munching on some while coloring it!!

I figured I'd save this card to give to one of the teacher's at the end of the year.

I colored my image in copics, embossed the background dp and added some extra strawberries on the little squares on the bottom. A little stickles on the bee and flowers to add some sparkle!  

I hope you'll join us this week and play along with the sketch!

DOODLE DRAGON CHALLENGE - FREEBIE

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mom's in blogland who are celebrating Mother's Day today! My wish is for you all to get treated like the special Mom's you are and for you all to truely enjoy YOUR DAY!

Over at Doodle Dragon Studios we have another challenge for you to play along with! This one is fun as everyone will get to create something with the same freebie and personally I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

To get you started you can pick up the freebie HERE!

When I started coloring the image the song by Chuck Berry stuck in my mind "Riding along in my automobile" and it just wouldn't go away! I was trying to think of some ideas for the teacher's end of year cards I'm going to make, and I thought about the PE coach (as he drives a pick up truck). How wonderful for him to actually have the time during the summer to actually just get in his truck and not have to be at school as his usual designated time! Literally driving along with no particular place to go!! Te he! So there you have it, little Dudley driving along leasurely on his monster truck! I colored Dudley in copics and popped him up on foam dots, added a few little buttons and voila! The dp was left over in my scrap box so I'm not sure where it came from, the buttons are from Michael's.

Before I leave, I want to add that Dustin is doing a card drive for a sweet 9 year old boy called Dylan who has an inoperable brain tumor. Please take the time to participate and show some love for Dylan and his family. You can read the details on Dustin's blog regarding where to post the cards and the freebie's he will be giving out when the cards are received. Thanks so much for doing such a great thing Dustin!

Well that's it from me for today, but I will leave you all with beautiful wishes for a beautiful day! 

Hugs,
Charlotte

MIDNIGHT MADNESS (MMSC102)

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Midnight Madness!

Wow, that means I've been on here for two years too as I was one of the origianl team members...how cool is that! Priscilla has done an amazing job with this sketch challenge and if I know her at all she has big plans for the future too! Not sure how she still comes up with so many different sketches but she does. On top of that she also manages to keep us on our toes and is so organized. But the team wouldn't be the team if it wasn't for the lovely ladies who are like family. There is always so much creativity going on that they still amaze me week after week. Not sure how I lasted so long though!!! Te he he...LOL

Here's a closer look at my card with this fun image and sentiment!

Now I have to tell you that a masculine card is somewhat of a challenge for me to make as I don't make them too often. Yes, I know I use many images from Dustin Pike and make cutsie fun cards both masculine and feminine but to make a masculine card without a Dustin image, well! What can I say, I'm addicted to his images. But, when I found the image from Dude Time Doodles, aka Bonibleaux Designs I was taken with it and sentiment too. Why you may ask? Well, my DH has a baby in our garage from 1964, a Chevy Nova to be precise and that sentiment fits him exactly!! I have lost count how many times he has fixed and re fixed his car, and just when I think he's completed it....nope, he starts over with a new idea! Another project!

 And if fixing the car when it's not broken isn't bad enough, he's even got Thijs involved now! (he enjoys it though so I can't complain!)

 and yes, he is actually inside the car engine area placing the top on the filter!!!

This is my DH's pride and joy! Doesn't look like much but it has a lot of power under the hood and we had tire marks on the road to prove it!!!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope I made you laugh a little!

Hugs,

Charlotte

DOODLE DRAGON - APRIL IMAGE

Happy Monday!

I just wanted to share my Dragon card that I created using one of Dustin's images from his April membership. If you would like to check out the membership please click HERE I had so much fun making this one as it reminded me of my son when he snorkles with his daddy! I created the scene by loading two images of the dragon onto my page then shrinking one of them and flipping the image so the little one is swimming in the opposite direction...I figured he would be trying to get out of being blamed for heating up the water!!! LOL My images were colored in copics and the background sunset was sponged in red ink from Martha Stewart. The dp was some I had left over so not sure where it came from. Ric rac, gems and sea shell beads are all from JoAnn's.

Thank you to all those Dustin followers who left such great comments on this card! I really appreciate them.

Sorry this is such a short post by my days are hectic lately with Teacher Appreciation planning! Hopefully next week will be a little less hectic!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs,
Charlotte
