Sunshine on Fairy Wings

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's a little dreary here, but not raining yet, so I'm off to get all my errands done before it does.  Before I go, I'm popping in to share the card I made for a couple of challenges: the May One Sweet Challenge (May flowers), Crafts and Me Challenge #83 (Punches and Diecuts), CES Challenge #185 (anything goes) and Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #27 (shades of purple).

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Lavender Lace and layered with patterned paper from the Prima Meadowlark 6x6 pad.  My beautiful image is Elisabeth Bell's Twinkle Toes Fleur from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped her on Copic X-Press It with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her with my Copics.  I added Diamond Stickles to her wings and Yellow Stickles to her waistband and the center of the flower in her hair.  I used two diecuts from Cheery Lynn Designs: the Dutch Scallop Square for the frame and a Fanciful Flourish. The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts Roses finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you again soon!

Happy Birthday To You

Hi there!  It's me again! I didn't plan on being back today, but I managed to finish up a card I was working on for a few challenges, so I thought I'd pop by and post it.  It's for Sketch Saturday #197, Saturated Canary Challenge #12 (doilies), Cheery Lynn Designs #18 (doilies) and this week's Our Creative Corner Challenge (making melody - inspired by a song).

Here is SS-197:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Rich Razzleberry and layered with Lucky Limeade and patterned papers from the Basic Grey Green At Heart 6x6 pad.  My super cute image is Ellie's Birthday from Saturated Canary.  I got her from Krista's Etsy shop here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I added some glitter to her top and some Glossy Accents to the balloons after they were colored.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  The song, Happy Birthday, was my music inspiration for the OCC challenge.  I used the Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily die to create the corner doily.  I added some Rich Razzleberry ribbon tabs and some buttons from my stash.  A few light pink gems finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I always appreciate your visits and your comments!  See you soon!

Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog Hop

Goof morning!  Happy Tuesday!  It's the last Tuesday of the month and that means it's time for another Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team Blog hop.  Every month, a group of former Heartfelt Creations designers gets together to share projects made with some of our favorite Heartfelt Creations products.  If you arrived here from Selma's blog, then you are in the right place.  If not, you'll want to head over to Olga's blog and start from the beginning, so you don't miss any of the team's gorgeous creations!

Here is my card for the hop:

I started with a card base of GKD Innocent Pink and layered with a Cheery Lynn Lattice #2 Frame diecut.  My next layer is a  Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval.  On top of the that, I layered two Spellbinders Petite Ovals in Innocent Pink and Layering Weight White.  The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3319 Simple Filler Stems set.  I next added a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish diecut.  I created my flowers roughly  following my former HC teammate, Glenda's, tutorial here.  Briefly, I stamped three sets of flowers from HCPC 3406 Botanical Floral 1 and HCPC 3407 Botanical Florals 2 with SU Pink Pirouette onto Innocent Pink CS and cut them out with Spellbinders Rose Creations Shapeabilities.  I sponged them all lightly with Tim Holtz Tattered Rose Distress Ink.  After burnishing and shaping the petals with a stylus, I assembled them with Aleene's Turbo Tacky Glue and arranged them around the sentiment panel to finish my card.

Your next stop on the hop is Marsha's wonderful blog.  Be sure to leave a comment on every blog as you are hopping, because one comment will be chosen at random from all the blogs and the lucky commenter will win a $25 gift certificate to the Heartfelt Creations store!  Your chance to comment closes at midnight, Friday, March 2 EST and the winner will be announced on Saturday, March 3 at Noon EST.

Hearts and Lace

Hi there!  It's me again!  I have another post for today! If you are looking for my Mo's Challenge DT card, click here or scroll down one post.  My second card today is for a couple of challenges I wanted to get in: the B 'n W Monthly Challenge (love & hearts), the Digi Bells February Blog Hop challenge (lots of lace) and The Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #16 (frame it).

Here is my card for the three challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Baja Breeze and layered with patterned paper from the Memory Box Minuet 6x6 pack.  My Elisabeth Bell image is called Peace.  She is from The Ends Sampler by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.  The set can be found in Susana's store here.  I was lucky enough to have won that set during the release blog hop.  I stamped her on Cryogen White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her with Copics.  I added a bit of sparkle with Stickles.  The image is framed with a Cheery Lynn Dutch Scallop Square Frame in Baja.  It added a little extra lace to my design.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   I added a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish in Certainly Celery and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.  A bow created from eyelet lace and a few hearts punched from glitter paper finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  Enjoy the rest of your day!

Sweet Friendship

Hello, there!  Hope you're having a great week so far!  It's Hump Day and we're halfway to the weekend!  I'm popping by to share a card I made for a few challenges I enjoy doing when I find the time.  It is for this week's Just Magnolia Challenge #143 (pink, pearls, and lace), the current Our Creative Corner Challenge (card for best friend and include a flower), Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #15 (pretty in pink) and the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #41(monochromatic).

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of GKD Innocent Pink and layered with patterned papers from the Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings 6.5 x 6.5 pad keeping everything monochromatic in pinks.  My cute image is Tilda With Hawaii Flower.  She can be found in the 7 Kids store here.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White Iridescent and colored her with Copics.  The ornate frame was cut with the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die.  I added a flourish cut with the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die and some Wild Orchid Crafts roses.  My sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  It can be found in her store here.  Some ivory lace and a few pink pearls from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

Copic/Promarker Challenge -The Outlawz (and more)

Good morning!  Yay!  It's Friday!  It's been a busy week and I'm ready for a little down time over the long weekend!  Can't believe it's only one day before New Year's Eve!  Where on earth did this year go???  I guess time flies when you are having fun - lol!!  Anyway, I'm popping in to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  As usual, our theme for the last week of the month is "anything goes", but we've got something extra to share with you for the new year so you'll definitely want to go over and check out the new challenge thread!

My card is also for a few other challenges I like to do: Craft Your Passion Challenge #90 (Sketch), Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #8 (Celebrate), Crafty Emma's Store Challenge #66 (Party, Party, Party) and Aud Sentiments Challenge #44 (Anything Goes).  I am also entering my card for the Create With TLC DT call posted here. 

Here is the CYP sketch:

I started with a card base of SU Island Indigo and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Hazel 6x6 pad.  I used three dies from Cheery Lynn (Border Carnivale, Polynesian Sails Oval and Fanciful Flourish), all cut from Island Indigo.  My fun image is Party Girl from Mo's Digital Pencil.  She can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I added a bunch of Stickles to her jewelry and shoes for some sparkle.  I also added Glossy Accents to the wine glass.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  It was offered as a freebie on the Aud Sentiments Challenge blog.  A paper flower from my stash finished off my birthday celebration card.
