Two Challenges in One Post!

This card is for Doodle Pantry. Isn't this bird the cutest pirate? I made this for my grandson's birthday today. Six years old! Where has the time gone? The challenge is to do something/make something new... I have never used these images before so that's my new thing! I also never celebrated my grandson's 6th birthday before...! I used one image and one sentiment for the front of this card.(both from Doodle Pantry).




These cute little cardinals are from Designed 2 Delight. I received them for doing the progressive challenge last week. More cuties! Thanks for the great images! There were three different images given away. Each bird alone and then both together.
I am also entering the following:
Stampin' B's Design Team- Make a Celebration card (1st one for a birthday)
Pixie Cottage - Party or Celebration /or sketch. I did the celebration theme.
Simon says - Time to Party!
Stampavive and More - Color Red (My second card!)

In With The New at IDIC

First let me say Happy Boxing Day to all my Canadian friends and anyone else who celebrates this day! We will have an open house starting in about 4 hours here with probably over 100 people "popping" in and out ! I love this day! My husband's Uncle comes down from Canada with his family and lots of moose is sizzling in a frying pan all day long! Yum!
This week at I Did It Creations we are being sponsored by Sylvie's Stamps which can be found here. My image is the sweet boy handing someone flowers. Maybe it's for a new job, a new baby, a birthday, or who knows what else you could be celebrating?! Perhaps it's your first time celebrating "Boxing Day"! lol


I used paper from my stash, my Nestabilities for the image and frame around it. Tim Holtz grungeboard(which I painted), distress inks, and tape were also used. Of course; I colored with my Copic markers. The flowers were colored with my Copics to match and then I used glitter glue on them for the bling.The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.
Go over to our challenge blog and check out all the cool creations by our Dt and then give the challenge a try!

Under the Wire Again!

My "M.O." for the last couple of weeks for the Design 2 Delight challenge has been to post it "last day". I am so sorry about that! Christmas preparation has taken its' toll on me this year! This week Faith gave 2 darling images to those who entered last weeks' challenge. The image I have used and a darling one with mittens. (You will definitely be seeing the mitten one from me in the near future!) I needed one more gift tag for my grand daughter and this image "fit the bill" perfectly! Thanks for coming to the rescue once again Faith!

IDIC Anything Goes!

This week at I Did It Creations we were given an image by Mizumedia Designs. I chose this image titled Hinata Sorry. I colored her with Copic markers and then used Tattered Angels glimmer mist to do a shimmer to the whole image. It looks better in real life, it is hard to see in the photo I think. I used patterned paper from Paper Pizazz which is about 10 years old!The stamped sentiment and hearts are from Michael's $1.00 spot. Make sure you go and check out all of the fabulous creations the rest of the members of the DT have created for you! Just go to I Did It Creations Blog and get started! Have a super week everyone!

I have been so super busy making little angels (see my Thursday Dec. 9th post) for all of my family members (I have 7 siblings...) and their grown children that I have a little town of them in my dining room! lol! This sweet image was the freebie given for doing last weeks image and entering the challenge at Designed 2 Delight . Isn't he darling?! Over at Double Delight...the theme is anything goes! A big thank you for that one! Great challenge girls! I really love joining in each week and hopefully life will get back to "normal mode" after the holiday...(Yeah right...I don't think it is ever normal around here! LOL!)
