CYP #98 - Red, White and Blue - Mami Doodles

Monday has rolled around again... One thing to look forward to on Monday? Of course, another challenge at Craft Your Passion! This week our challenge is Red, White and Blue to help celebrate Presidents Day here in the great USA. This adorable digi came from one of our sponsors, Mami Doodles. I thought she was a cutie-patootie! Don't you? But there was something kinda sad in her face, so I thought she looked as if she was missing someone... She's colored using my Copics. I added some fun design papers from my scrap stash, the one already had the great faux stitching on it, some simple buttons and a sentiment from Studio G.

Time to join in the fun at Craft Your Passion - lots of goodies up for grabs this week.

One Stitch at a Time - #101 - Use a digi or no image

New Gig - Scrapper's Delights

I am excited and thrilled to annouce a new team I just started designing for... You gotta go check out the wonderful images over at Scrapper's Delights! Janice is soooo talented and her designs have such a wide range and variety.

I got a chance to design with this image called Rabbit Parka 2. Isn't she just too cute? There are several in the series with this adorable girl... You gotta go check them out.

For this card I colored her with my Copics, then used my Cricuit to cut the loopy frame. I used some fancy papers from DCWV, added a bubbly silk ribbon bow, a small flower I had made months ago that turned out to be an extra, some silky leaves and finished it all off with some black rhinestones. The simple sentiment was a dollar bin one from Studio G... I love the colors on this one - the purple, grey and black make for a very rich card, don't you think?

Well, be ready for some more examples from Scrappers Delights - I finished up another couple this weekend and will be showing them off as the digi's become available in the store... Until then, go check out all the great images over there - you'll fall in love just like I have!

Delicious Doodles #7 - Hairy Legs

Hairy legs? The challenge this week over at Delicious Doodles is hairy legs... That one made me laugh - I thought maybe our design team had lost their minds (or in my case, just looked down). The challenge could include anything with hairy legs... animals, hubbies, spiders, etc.

I picked this new image from Teri that reminds me of Happy Feet. I fell in love with these adorable penguins and they just seemed the perfect image for a manly card. The image only needed the yellow highlights on the penguins and a little blue on the icebergs to color it. I dry embossed a raised frame in the lighter blue and then kept the card very simple in design. I felt like the image didn't need much as far as embellies. Just a sweet Hampton Arts sentiment and matching ribbon.

Come join the challenge - let's see what crazy thing you can come up with for hairy legs!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

CYP 82 - Bingo Board - Bugaboo

Craft Your Passion has another great challenge and sponsor this week. We are playing Bingo! Bingo with Bugaboo! (That's kinda fun to say...LOL).

If you haven't figured out yet, I'll let you in on a secret - I love angels. So, I was so excited to find this adorable image at Bugaboo to work with this week. Isn't it just too cute?

I colored the image with my Copics then I added tons of bling - picking some glitter paper to frame the image, adding glitter to the clouds and wings, some wire wrapped around the frame and threaded with some iridescent pearl beads, then finished it off with a diagonal bubbly bow. I added just a few extra clouds cut from a second image to the frame and a couple of extra stars scattered around as well. I think it turned out just too cute!

You can find Bugaboo here and the Craft Your Passion Challenge here. I would love to see what you can come up with!

Catch the Bug Challenge - Guest Designer

Exciting news!!! I was asked to join the Catch the Bug Challenge design team as a guest designer this week. They have a great photo inspiration challenge going on over there - you should definitely pop over and check out the eye-candy their team put together for you.

I used this great image "Stella Witch - Call Me Witch" - it just makes me giggle. I LOVE Stella! She's my hero! Says all the things we all want to say, but are just too darn afraid to say! LOL

For this card I kept it simple - coloring her with my Copics and using some scraps as a color blocked background. I added just a touch of bling by using a sequin ribbon to the edges of the orange DP. I had this great chipboard tree from Little Yellow Bicycle that fit perfectly for a back drop for Stella.

Bugaboo will be sponsoring our next challenge at Craft Your Passion starting on Monday, so make sure and pop over there for some other great Bugaboo inspiration.

Delicious Doodles - #5 - Saintly Good vs Ghastly Evil

Over at Delicious Doodles we've got a great challenge going on... Saintly Good vs. Ghastly Evil! I knew I wanted to side with the "good", and finding an image was extremely easy for me.


I chose this great image from Teri because I instantly related to and fell in love with it. About 12 years ago my husband and I had a still born child and one of the things that got me through that was the thought that my little girl was resting with angels. This image depicts the way I like to think of her... being cared for and loved until we are once again together in heaven.


Whichever side you pick, or show both on the same card like many of our design team ladies so expertly did, come join our challenge and show us your devilish side, or your heavenly side!

CYP - #73 - Delicious Doodles

Over at Craft Your Passion, we have a wonderful sketch challenge going on. It was so fun to work with - go over and check it out!

But even more fun to work with was the wonderful images from our sponsor, Delicious Doodles. I had such a hard time trying to figure out which image to work with. I found image after image that just spoke to me. I ended up picking up this wonderful zebra and foal and immediately decided to put them against a dark sky background. I airbrushed the sky with my Copic's then used the old-toothbrush-flick method to give it a sparked sky. The rest of the card just fell into place thanks to the sketch.

I would love to see what you can design using the sketch. Pop on over and join us!
