Crafty Catz - week 4

Well it's my last week with Crafty Catz and I have thoroughly enjoyed having this opportunity to play along with them.

This week the sponsor is Time for Tea and the challenge is "Happy Birthday" - I forgot to take a picture of the inside of my card, but it says "Just a note... to wish you a happy birthday!"  Sorry I didn't get around to adding the inside pic - life got in the way this week.

So, I used the Time for Tea image Sunflower Girl to start with.  I colored her up with my Copics.  I fussy cut her out, then used a Spellbinders die to cut a background scalloped oval to place her on.  The bottom edge of the card is cut with a Lawn Fawn border to show the fun floral print paper inside the card.  I used some matching patterned papers to add some color and detail.  The sentiment stamps are from my stash of very old stamps...unsure of the maker.

Now it's your turn... Head on over to Crafty Catz and play along with us.  I am looking forward to seeing what you can do!

Fussy and Fancy Friday - favorite colors

Crafty Catz GDT - week 3

Back this week with an adorable image from Whipper Snapper for this card as inspiration for the Crafty Catz challenge blog.  I LOVE WHIPPER SNAPPER - they couldn't be any cuter.  When this challenge suggested I could use any image of my choice, they were my go-to stamps.  My niece is having a baby shower this weekend - so what better chance to use this adorable image Sweet Safari.

I colored it up with my Copics and found some design papers in my scraps - I think they are from Die Cuts With  A View and matched perfectly.  The challenge is to add a touch of pretty ribbon, so the yellow ribbon above the die cut sentiment is a finishing touch to complete the card.

There are some great chances to win prizes from Crafty Ribbons and participate as a guest designer over at Crafty Catz this week... head on over and play along with us.  I would love to see what you are creating!

Crafty Catz - week 2

Back today with a new make for my guest designer spot at Crafty Catz Challenges.  The sponsor is Lucy Sunshine and I adore this image of the hobo-clown...isn't he just too cute?  

After coloring him with Copics, I picked some design papers that accented it, then layered them up.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and the die cut around it is from Spellbinders.  Simple to put together and will be fun to give away.

Hop on over and join in the fun at Crafty Catz - you could win this image or pick your own from the amazing collection at Lucy Sunshine.  The challenge is "anything goes" and the twist this week is "love is in the air".

Crafty Catz - Guest Design week 1

I have the wonderful opportunity to be a guest designer for a wonderful challenge blog called Crafty Catz.  The challenge is always "anything goes" over there, but they also have a twist of "one for the girls" if you want to play along.

The sponsor is Star Stamps and they provided me with this adorable image.  I colored her with my Copics and then added some cute design papers and a fun die cut frame to this card.  I found a simple hugs stamp from Paper Smooches to add the sentiment.  I like the way it turned out.

Hop on over to Crafty Catz to see all the wonderful samples the design team created and join in the fun challenge!

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.

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 #13 - "Pink"

Oh my gracious the day got away from me... I should have posted this first thing this morning, but obviously that didn't happen. It's challenge day over at Delicious Doodles and I really enjoyed this one. The full challenge title is "Pink to make the boys wink". I needed a get well card so I used one of Teri's amazing floral images to create this slightly shabbychic card. Isn't that image just wonderful? Her florals are so terrifc and versatile!

I colored it with my Copics, then grabbed my pink and blue scraps - added a touch of distressing to all the edges along with some sepia stippled ink. A simple sentiment, some pearl embellishments and some sweet lacy ribbon was all it needed.

Drop by the Delicious Doodles Challenge site to see some other great examples from our design team - then get your creative groove going and join us. There are five digi's up for grabs!
