Critter Sketch Challenge!

This week we followed a sketch and used an image by The Stamping Boutique. I dry embossed my background paper and used my Spellbinder die for the shape behind the image. Acouple more circles, some ribbon and buttons and Voila! Done! I colored the image with my Copic markers. Why not go over to the Critter Sketch challenge blog, check out the examples by the team and try your luck? You just might win! Good Luck!

Happileigh Weekly Challenge

Here is the inspiration for our challenge this week at Happileigh Scrappin'. The colors we would like you to use are: pastel pink, mauve, sage green and light brown.



Leigh gave us an adorable image of a birdhouse and a sweet little bird image to use in making our creations. I used some vintage digital paper I found online for my background piece. I colored the images with my Copic markers and then popped up the birdhouse with pop dots. Next I added some pearls around the border on two sides. I made this into a thinking of you card and I will send it to my sister.
Have a great day and make sure to go over to the Happileigh Scrappin' Challenge blog and check out our challenge and wonderful creations made by the DT then give it a try!

IDIC Sees Red!

This week at I Did It Creations (IDIC) our challenge #40 is to use red for Valentine's day. We were sponsored by JLJ Designs. She has some wonderful images and great digital papers so be sure to check it out! Be sure to stop by IDIC for the other DT examples for some wonderful inspiration. I also want to tell you all to stay tuned for next Sunday, Feb 6th,because the IDIC will be holding a "Love is in the Air" Blog Hop! Come hop with us for fun, games and prizes. The team has been hard at working making some wonderful projects to share with you! Now onto my creation for this week...

I paper pieced the tutu of this cute little bear and then used the same DP as my background paper. I also dry embossed my white piece of paper for the background. A Sakura pen was use to make the wings so shimmery, and a gold gel pen to outline parts of the image. I colored using my Copics (of course!)
When I first did the card for this week I wasn't paying attention to the "rules" for the challenge and made a purple card...It turned out nice and I will use it for another time. Haha!
So go on over to I Did It Creations and try your hand at our challenge! Have a great Sunday ...I know I will...It's my Birthday today!

Two for Me!

I did it again! I found time to do two for me! I love when that happens! I used a Doodle Pantry image to make this sweet Valentine's day card for one of my students...(others will be variations of the toppers on the heart). This valentine heart comes with a lot of different character toppers and is so versatile! Check it out at Doodle Pantry!



My next project was done with a darling Big bear image from Faith at Designed 2 Delight. This cute image was a freebie in her progressive challenge. If you didn't get it free last week; you can buy it at her store. I made a tag to go with the candle I bought for my daughter for Valentine's Day. I stamped tiny hearts on the wrapping on the gift he is holding just for the holiday! The flower I made with a scallop punch from SU! I punched it out 8 times,spritzed with water, crumple up, let dry,then inked edges and piled together. I then punched a hole in the middle, added a brad,then scrunched it up for the shape. This image is also versatile and I will be able to use it for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, etc.! I love when that happens!


Thanks for looking and leave me some lovin' !

For The Boys in your Life! AiF Challenge

It's challenge day at AIF and it's all about the boys! It's a masculine challenge! I never seem to have enough masculine cards so I was happy for this one. We got to use this great set ( A must have for anyone that does masculine cards) Little Cowboy. Isn't this set the cutest?! I chose two of the images for the card I made this time. The next time I can do a completely different card thanks to all of the cool images in this set!

I colored with my Copics and made a simple card with no design papers or other embellishments! I wanted the images to take center stage and be the stars! (hahaha...)This card will be for my nephew Bryce who will be turning 7 next month.

Happi Inspiration Challenge!

We have another inspiration challenge for you at Happileigh Scrappin' Challenge blog. Look at this wonderful soothing picture and draw inspiration from it...I sure did!

I made two cards using the colors from this picture in them. The first one is done using a door basket image from Happileigh and the second one with that cute mouse Tatters getting into the sugar bowl! My first image was colored with my Copic markers and the second one came pre-colored! How easy is that! A card can be put together lickety split if you are short on time and need a card in the moment!



I love that about Leigh's images...I think almost all of them can be purchased pre-colored or un-colored. I love them both ways! Wouldn't that cute mouse one be perfect for your "Sweetie" for Valentine's Day?
