Special Friend

Hi there!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  It's been rainy and dreary here, but at least it's warm.  Spring is definitely in the air!  I'm popping in to share the card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do when I can.  It is for The Paper Players #86 (color challenge), Simon Says Stamp Challenge (Mother's Day/special girl) and The Paper Shelter Challenge (anything goes). 

Here is the color inspiration from Lesley at The Paper Players:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I chose the "special girl" option for the Simons Says challenge.  I started with a card base of SU Pear Pizzazz and layered with glittery patterned paper from the Best Creations A Walk In The Garden 6x6 pad.   I was thrilled to find all the colors I needed in this sheet from the pad.  My sweet image is Zoe Spring from The Paper Shelter.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.   The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  My only embellishment was a few roses from my stash. 

Thanks for stopping by!  I always appreciate your visits and kind comments!  Have a great day and hope to see you again soon!

Another Challenge Card

Good morning!  How's your week going so far?  It's been raining here since Sunday, so although it's pretty warm, it's not very conducive to being outside, that's for sure.  Before I head out anyway, I'm here to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do.  It's for The Paper Shelter Challenge #45 (anything goes), Crafty Emma's Store Challenge #67 (anything goes) and Sketch Saturday #189.

Here is SS-189:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Rich Razzleberry and layered with patterned papers from the Prima Melody 6x6 pad.  My sweet image is Spring Swing from The Paper Shelter.  She can be found in the store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  My sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was a freebie on the Create With TLC blog awhile back.  A satin bow and some pink adhesive rhinestones finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day and hope to see you soon.

Card For A Few Challenges

Hi there!  Hope you're doing well today!  I found a little time for crafting before I head out to a few appointments.  I was happy to have a chance to make a card for a few challenges out there.  My card is for this week's Sketch Saturday #179, Simon Says Stamp Challenge (use buttons; Basic Grey optional)) and The Paper Shelter Challenge #38 (Christmas fun).

Here is the Sketch Saturday sketch:

Here is my card for all three challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Lipstick Red and layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Jovial 6x6 pad.   For the "Christmas fun" theme, I chose to use this adorable image from The Paper Shelter called Cookies For Santa.  Could this little girl be any cuter?  I printed the image on Cryogen White Iridescent and colored with Copic markers.  I added Glossy Accents to the glass of milk and the tree pot.  I added some sparkle to the tree ornaments with Stickles.    The whole image was cut out and popped up over the matted half-oval panel that I cut out with Spellbinders Scallop and Classic Petite Oval Nestabilities.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the lower panel.  A few Basic Grey buttons and a sheer bow finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I really appreciate it when you visit!  Have a great day!
