I have one more card to share that I am entering this weeks challenge over at CASology.

Sandy over at Scribbles Designs just released this adorable bunny tail image and when she sent it to me she told me that she was inspired by a cookie when she drew this image.

It was just perfect for the challenge and who doesn't love a cute bunny tail?

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

As soon as I saw this weeks challenge over at CASology I just had to ink up my Impression Obsession stamp.

Don't you just love that sweet bunny image? A fast and fun card to make.

happy birthday to you

I love a good digital image and find it really hard to resist a super cute robot image.

I bought this adorable image from the birdie brown etsy shop and then noticed on her blog she was having a birthday challenge so decided to enter this card into that as well.

hello - lollipop cora

Yesterday, Lori Boyd introduced a bunch of new images for Spring, and I am loving each and everyone of them so just had to show another card that I created.

Let me introduce you to Lollipop Cora.

Since she is a Spring time release I just had to use some Spring type papers and make some hand rolled roses too.

You can find the whole release over at the By Lori Designs blog here.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today that I created using 2 of the new images released by Lori Designs today. Can I just say that I absolutely love every image she creates.

First up let me introduce you to Puddle Jumper Baseball Boy. Isn't he just too sweet with that baseball cap and ball. Just the perfect image to create a sweet little boy card.

Next up meet Puddle Jumper Sweet Girl. She has Lori's signature polka dots. I had so much fun coloring her and creating my card.

Please make sure and stop over at the blog and take a look at the full release as well as what the other girls on the design team created. If you are like me you are going to want the full release.

Make sure and stop back and let me know which images you bought because you are going to want to add at least one if not the full collection to your stash.

celebrate the season mm#52

Monday and it can only mean one thing! Time for a new challenge over at Merry Monday.

This week Lesley has a color challenge for all of us and as I have said before I am not one who normally does color challenges, but I am learning to like them.

For my card I used papers by Simple Stories from the handmade holiday collection along with stamps by Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday. To get close to the River Rock color I colored some seam binding with my YG91 Copic marker.

I hope you will play along with us as I can't wait to see what you do with this color challenge.

Please remember to stop over at the Merry Monday blog and check out what the rest of the design team has created this week.

happy birthday

(this is my 2nd post of the day, please scroll down for my post for The Pink Elephant Scrapbook Challenge)

It is a new month and with that comes a new card kit over at Artful Delight. If you haven't seen the March card kit let me show it to you.

Besides all the wonderful papers and embellishments you see here it also comes with a stamp set by Paper Smooches called "birthday sampler".

Since it is also a new month we have a new sketch for you to play with. I love the sketch, especially that big fishtail banner.

Here is my card using this months sketch. I created that flower using some of the flower diecuts from the kit and then I took one of the buttons from the kit and added one of the Teresa Collins enamel dots and added it on top. Love that you get a full set of those enamel dots as they are my latest addiction.

I will be back next Saturday with a new card using more of the goodies from this months kit.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Brothers - TPE #48

This week over at The Pink Elephant Scrapbook Challenge we want to see Hexagons/Chevrons on your layouts.

I dug through all of my papers and had a hard time finding either one of these but finally found an Echo Park collection that had a chevron paper in it. The full sheet was a little too much for the layout so I just cut a section of them out.

Make sure and stop over at the TPE blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for this challenge and I can't wait to see what you do with it.

mermaids - to do list

(this is my 2nd post for today, please scroll down for my Scribbles Designs post)

It is Friday and a new month which means time for a new kit club release over at A Day for Daisies, and to celebrate we are having a blog hop. You should have arrived here from Broni's blog and if you didn't you want to make sure and stop over at Broni's blog as her coloring is amazing.

This months release is all about mermaids. For my card I got to use this sweet image called Oceans Prince. Each of the images come with the sweetest sentiments.

To see all of the images in this months release stop over at the blog and check them out. And you can see all the rest of the design team images as you make your way on the HOP! Next stop is the very talented Arielle.

Let's add 'em up

We are at the halfway point in our current challenge 'shades of red' over at the Scribbles Designs challenge blog. So you that means you still have time to play along with me and the rest of the design team.

For my midway card this week I used 'Carla diet queen diva'. I thought she was perfect for me and my current love/hate relationship with my scale and weight watchers. I just passed the one year mark with a 65.1 pound weight loss. Still lots to go but take it one day at a time.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Today is all about - STB #8

This week at Seize the Birthday we are using the same sketch as last week only this week they want to see masculine cards.

I used Echo Park papers and layered stickers from the all about a boy collection. The sentiment is by PaperTrey Ink.

Here is the sketch.

I love the idea behind Seize the Birthday. We get to create Birthday cards for our stash and every other week we get a new sketch. If you are like me you will create both the feminine and the masculine card at the same time.

Project Life ~ Week 08

So far, so good. Things are going smoothly with project life, I just need to take more photos of the family. You would think it would be easier since I have been doing it for 14 months now, but nope it is not.

This week I was thankful for some Project Life cards that my friend Mari sent me from the Studio Calico kits as well as the printables that Studio Calico sent to all of us STILL on the wait list.

Lots of filler cards this week as well as my normal, calendar card and weather card. The Take Note card and the Grow where you are planted are both cards that my friend Mari sent me.  

I am trying to stick with the same color palette  every week in my Project Life so it all flows together.

I did recently get some of the Becky Higgins Seafoam collection as I split it three ways with Mari and one other girl. Love the colors in that collection and they fit my color theme for this year perfectly.

I used flairs this week from Stamp Your Life etsy shop, along with some from my stash, wood veneers, Studio Calico printable labels and alpha stickers from my stash.

Are you doing Project Life? If so leave me a link to your blog so I can come over and check it out.

Say Cheese

This week our challenge at By Lori Designs is all about shaped cards. Any shape is allowed as long as it is not your standard A2 card.

I used one of Lori's newest images from the "pedal pusher" collection called 'Camera Cate'. The sentiment is from the new release 'everyday sentiments'. All of these can be found in the shop here.

Go over and check them out I am sure you will fall in love with at least one or two of them.

Just a quick card to share with you that I created using this weeks sketch over at The Paper Players, using the new Amy Tangerine 'yes, please' collection along with some alpha stickers by Pebbles.

Tic Tac Toe - MM #51

This week Lesley has a Tic Tac Toe challenge for us at Merry Monday.

I decided to go from the bottom left corner diagonally up to the top right corner and use Snowflakes, Digital and ribbon on my card.

I used papers by My Minds Eye which has snowflakes on it as well as a Martha Stewart snowflake punch, some of my ribbon from my stash as well as this cute digital snowman by Lori Boyd.

thinking of you today

This week at Sentimental Sundays we are sponsored by From the Heart Stamps and our challenge is all about Flowers.

I got to work with this great image 'bouquet' image available in the shop here.

I had fun coloring this image and popping up the red flowers with foam dots to give it a little bit of dimension.  The lace strip above is actually some paper ribbon from my stash and I added a button with twine to it. A really quick yet fun card.

Make sure and stop over at the Sentimental Sundays blog and check out what the rest of the design team created.

This weeks theme at The Pink Elephant Scrapbook Challenge is we want to see banners on your layout.

I used this photo of my great-nephew Ryder and added banners wherever I could fit them using scrap papers that were on my desk from my last layout that I posted.

All product you see on my layout are by Studio Calico. I love the printable labels they offer each month in the digital shop as well as the brads, Mister Hueys and papers.

Make sure and stop over at the blog and see what the rest of the design team have come up  with using this weeks challenge "banners".

Today I am sharing with you my final card using this months card kit from Artful Delight.

Everything on the card is from the kit except the sentiment. I stamped on the black cardstock with versamark using the different flower stamps included in this months stamp set by Paper Smooches called 'bold blooms'. I love all the kraft labels that were included in the kit this month too.

I will be back next Saturday to show you the March kit.
