613 Avenue Create - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Sunday!  It's super early and  I hope I am still sleeping when you see this!  I am here to share my last post as Guest Designer for the 613 Avenue Create blog.  It's been a wonderful 3 months and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to design with the wonderful and talented ladies there!  This week's challenge is sponsored by Meljen's Designs and the theme is "anything  goes".  I was lucky to receive a cute digi stamp from Meljen's to use for my card.

Here is my creation:

My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Winter Fun 6x6 pad.  The adorable image is Just Like Dad from Meljen's Designs.  I printed him on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored him with my Copics.  I added a few dots with my Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  The sentiment is from Sharon at A Piece of Heart blog. She generously shared it as a freebie last June and you can find it here.  Some stitched Blue Bayou ribbon finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Love To Create Challenge - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Our weather was a mixed bag, but nothing that interfered with any plans so it worked out fine.  I'm so excited about my post this morning!  I was invited to be Guest Designer for the Love To Create Challenge this week!  I am really honored to have been asked!  The theme for Challenge #25 is "spots 'n dots" and the sponsors are Papelito's Stamps and Meljen's Designs.  I was generously provided with a few Meljen's digis to choose from to create my card.  All of Melissa's digis are so cute, it was hard to pick!

Here is  my "spots 'n dots" card:

I used SU Chocolate Chip and Groovy Guava cardstock and layered with "spotty and dotty" patterned papers from the Bo Bunny Little Miss 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Little Girl Bear Hugs from Meljen's Designs.  I printed her on Copic X-Press It Blending card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles here and there for some sparkle.

Here is a close-up of the cute image:

The sweet sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A triple-loop satin bow and a Webster's Pages Whimsy Heart finished my card.
