Spring Ray of Sunshine

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a good start!  It's already been busy here so far, but I did find time to finish a card I was making for a few challenges I enjoy.  This one is full of Spring colors and flowers and if only the real weather would cooperate with some Spring sunshine, it would be great!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Tangerine 6x6 pad.  I used one sheet with text and one with flowers.  The sweet image is Sabrina from Saturated Canary.  You can find her in Krista's store here.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added just a bit of Crystal Stickles to her underskirt and a Eucalyptus Stickles to the flower centers.  I cut out the image and a mat for it with my Cameo.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  The pretty flowers are all from the amazing Sunday Sweet Stuff I won from Jacque recently.  Thanks so much, Jacque!  Peach chevron ribbon and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #57

Hi there!  Happy Thursday!  Hope you've had a good week so far!  Sorry to be MIA again.  I've got a lot going on and despite my best efforts, I haven't made it to my craft room much this week.  But of course, I could not miss my Thursday DT post for Little Miss Muffet.  We've got a new challenge for you this week and the theme is "Easter".  Perfect timing with Easter less than two weeks away.  Can't wait to see all the gorgeous pastel creations for this one!

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Pretty In Pink and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection.  I created the layered Easter egg background with my Cameo using free cut files from the Scrap Girls Eggstra Special set that I found here. The bottom egg base was cut from aqua glitter paper.  My adorable image is Lil' Bunny from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It is available as a rubber stamp, but I used the digi version.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Glossy Accents to her glasses.  I cut her out with my Cameo and popped her up on foam tape over the top egg.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few glittery dimensional Easter egg stickers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and feast your eyes on the adorable creations from the rest of the DT, our wonderful Guest Designer for March, Margreet, and our special guests, Julie D. and Cris!  We hope you'll join in on the challenge!  You have until Tuesday, April 2, to enter your project.  If you use a Little Miss Muffet or any Pollycraft image, you can enter with "anything goes" as the theme and you can enter as many times as you'd like.  Otherwise, please follow the theme and enter only once.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sentimental Sundays #146 (anything goes plus a sentiment)
Through The Craftroom Door Challenge (anything goes)
Basic Grey Challenge #89 (Spring is in the air)

Winter Wonderland

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  Hope your week is going well so far and you are not too stressed that Christmas is less than a week away!  I know some of my blogging friends have been done with your preparations for ages now! I am taking my final batch of cards and gifts to the P.O. this morning, so I am feeling a little better about getting everything done before the big day arrives.  Anyway, today it's my turn to post my GDT card on The Digi Bells blog.

Here is my card:

 My card base and mats are SU Baja Breeze and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Winter Fun 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Frosty The Snowman from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  You can find it here, along with lots of other wonderful digital images by Elisabeth Bell.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added lots of snow glitter to the pom poms and trim on their snowsuits and hats.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is another from the recent Winter Club.  A few snowflakes punched from glitter paper with gems in their centers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanksgiving Wishes

Good morning!  Happy Friday! Can it possibly be Friday already?  I guess there is no way around it.  Hope you have fun plans for the weekend anyway!  I am popping in early to share a card I made for two of my DTs - Guylou's Inimitability and the Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz.  I rarely get to combine my DT assignments, but it worked perfectly this week because both had the theme of Thanks or Thanksgiving.  In fact, I am the hostess for this new challenge at Guylou's!

Here is my card for both challenges:

My card base and mats are GKD Dark Brown and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Mabel 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Leah Cooks A Turkey from Guylou's Inimitability.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Bisque Liquid Pearls for the detail on her apron pockets.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A chocolate rope bow and a few chocolate pearls finished my card.

Haunting

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway to the weekend - how good is that?  This week is just as crazy as last so far, but I did manage to put together a card for a few challenges.  It is absolutely my last Halloween card for this year!  It is for Kenny K. Krafty Krew #116 (frightful) and Sketch N Stash #99 (sketch).

Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are Papertrey True Black and the patterned papers are from last year's stash (K & Co. Kelly Panacci Halloween).  The fun Halloween image is Trixxie Treat from Kenny K.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Stickles to her hat ornaments, ribbon tie, garter and the candy in the pumpkin.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Beware Halloween set which you can find in Paulette's store here.  A couple of glittery spider web corners, also from last year's stash, and a few 3D glitter dots from this year finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Trixxie:

Fairy Happy Birthday

Hi again!  Sure didn't expect to be back so soon, but I snuck into my craft room  and managed to finish a card I was working on.  If you are looking for my Little Miss Muffet GDT card, please scroll down one post.  This card I'm sharing was made for a bunch of challenges:  Sweet Sketch Wednesday #172 (sketch), Whoopsi Daisy Challenge (make it girly), and a few challenges that all had the exact same theme (things with wings) - Love to Create #33, Digital Tuesday #178, Fab 'n' Funky Challenges #139, Charisma Cardz #37 and Crafting For All Seasons #36.

Here is SSW-172:

Here is my card:

My cards base and mats are SU Bashful Blue and the patterned papers are from the Prima Meadow Lark 6x6 pad.  My sweet fairy image is from Whoopsi Daisy.  Linnie generously shared her as a freebie awhile back.  I printed her on Canson Watercolor Paper and colored her with Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Tattered Rose, Scattered Straw, Salty Ocean, Worn Lipstick and a little Milled Lavender). I added Star Dust Stickles to her wings and boots, Diamond Stickles to the butterflies and Fruit Punch Stickles to her bodice.  The sentiment is from Guylou's Inimitability.  It is a free sentiment when you purchase Starla in the GI store here.  Some satin ribbon and a few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the fairy:

Thanks for stopping by again!  Enjoy the rest of your day and hope to see you soon!
