I Give You My Heart

Happy Wednesday friends!  Today is my first post as a permanent dt for Simply Sassy and I am sooo excited!  Thanks so much to Maria and Karen (Mrs Sugar Nellie) for inviting me back into their sweet dt family :)

I used I Give You My Heart for my card today.  I Just love that sweet expression on her face ... I think she looks like she's missing her special guy :)  I colored this cutie with copics and colored pencils and added a touch of Glamour Dust to the heart on the stick.  I've distressed my papers, which isn't something I do very often.  And for some reason, the distessing looks very orange.  I promise that IRL it's a pretty shade of light brown lol!  I've added a heart doily and a piece of lace beside the image.  I used my punches for the flowers, leaves, and butterflies.  To finish off my card I added a heart charm and some pearls to the flowers. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Back To School

Hello friends.  My little grandson started kindergarten this year and I wanted to make a special card for him for his first day of school.

I used Lenny Back To School from StampFairy.  I thought this image would be perfect for him.  I colored this adorable bear with copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to his nose, the pads of his paws, and the apple.  I cut him out and used foam tape to pop him up.  I used my EK Success punch on the backing paper and added a clip at the top.  I wrapped some twine and a button along the bottom of the card.  Then I used some alphabet stamps to add his name to the front of the card.  Zack loved his card and but was mostly interested in the Glossy Accents on the bear's nose and paws lol!

Be sure to stop by the StampFairy shop.  There are additional bears in this collection and they would all be perfect for your back-to-school projects.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Enjoy your day!

Sweet Love

Happy Monday.  It's time for a new challenge over on the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  Our lovely Jane has chosen the theme and she's asking that we all use some felt this week.

I've used  Swings and Slides - Sweet Love Set on my card.  Aren't these little kids just the cutest?  This image is one of the newest releases and you can find it over in the Pollycraft shop today.  I colored this cute couple with copics and colored pencils and added a little Glamour Dust to their ice cream.  I used a die to cut out my clouds, sponged a little ink around the edges, and then stitched them with some embroidery floss.  The sentiment is also included in this set and I've added a little heart brad.  Please be sure to stop by the Pollycraft Challenge Blog to check out the fabulous creations by the rest of the DT.

I hope you play along in our challenge this week.  We're being sponsored by Crimson Cloud.

Get Well Soon

Hello friends.  It's Friday so that means we have a new release for you over at StampFairy.  You are going to love these sweet little bears!

This poor little sick fella is from the Lenny Get Well Soon collection.  Wouldn't he be perfect to send to a sick friend?  I'm sure this little cutie would bring a smile to their face.  I colored Lenny with copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to his nose and paws.  I also used Glossy Accents on the band-aid on the sentiment.  I used a touch of Glamour Dust on the stars above his head.  I made the little rosette to set the sentiment on ... I love these rosettes but definitely could have used an extra set of hands trying to get it shaped and glued lol!  I did add some Glossy Accents to the band-aid.  And this sentiment is a freebie from Gerda ... how sweet is that?

Here's the entire new release and you can find it in the shop here.  Please do stop by the StampFairy Blog to check out the gorgeous makes by the rest of the team!  And there's still time to enter the latest challenge over on the StampFairy Challenge Blog ... you could win some free images!

A Blast From The Past

Hello peeps.  I hope you're having a wonderful week.  Now normally on Thursdays I have a new Meljen's Designs release to share with you.  Well, we don't have a new release this week but we still wanted to share some Meljen's Designs love with all of you :)

This week we are sharing some of our favorite Meljen's Designs cards we've made in the past.  Here's one of my favorites I picked to share with you.  I've used the Makeup Brush image on the front of my card and the Nail Polish image on the inside of my card.  You can see my original post with this card here. 

We've also got a new challenge starting today and you can find all the specifics here.  I hope you play along in our challenge this week.

(**Please scroll down for my Pollycraft Blog Hop post**)

We have a new challenge for you over on the Divas by Design Challenge Blog.  Our theme is Christmas in August and we would love to see your lovely projects.

I used Winter Kids 001 from The Poodles Digi Doodles shop.  I colored him with copics and colored pencils.  I added some Glamour Dust to his hat and white polka dots to his jacket.  A ribbon and a stamped sentiment finished my card.  My papers are more of the Bo Bunny collection I hoarded from last year lol!

Be sure to stop by the Divas by Design Challenge Blog to see all the beautiful work by the rest of the DT.  Our challenge is being sponsored by The Poodles Digi Doodles shop.

A Rockin' New Release

Happy Wednesday to all of you!  Pollycraft is having a blog hop to celebrate their rockin' new release! 

Each of the DT will be showing you sneak peeks of the new images, so there's lots of inspiration in store!  There are prizes to be won at every stop along the way, and four prizes to be won at the end of the hop.  All of these fabulous new images will be available in the Pollycraft Shop on Monday, August 29.

You should have arrived here from Mary J's blog.  Wasn't her card fabulous?  If you didn't come from Mary J's, then go back to the beginning of the hop, Cazza's blog, and follow the stops in order.

I used Swings and Slides - Lil Monster.  Isn't he too cute with his little monster hat and carrying his little stuffed monster?  I used copics and colored pencils to color this sweet little boy.  I embossed the mat behind him and added some twine and a button.  I think this is such a perfect image for a card for a young boy.

Here's the image I'm going to be sharing with one lucky person :)

To be in with a chance to win you need to leave me a comment, and spread our blog hop news by adding our blog hop logo to your blog (either a post or in your sidebar) with a link to the Pollycraft Blog.  Don't forget to leave a comment at each stop along the way.

The blog hop will end Sunday, August 28, at 10 pm (GMT).  I'll randomly pick a winner and announce it Monday morning in my Pollycraft post.  Now, your next stop on the hop is Joey, and you are going to love her make! 

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Enjoy the hop and good luck!

Autumn Colors

Good morning friends.  We have a new challenge over on the Pollycraft Monday Challenge Blog.  This week our lovely Sheena chose our theme and she has asked us all to use autumn colors.

I used So Tall from the Swings and Slides 2 collection.  Isn't this little girl adorable?  I love all the cute kids in the collection and they're so much fun to color!  Anyway, I used copics and colored pencils to color this sweetie.  I used some yellow acrylic paint to add some dots to the flowers.  The scallop and flourish dies are by Memory Box.  I added some lace and a little yo-yo flower that I made.  If you don't know how to make the yo-yo flowers you can see the easy tutorial here.

Happy Saturday!  It seems as though this week was really long ... I didn't think the weekend would ever get here.  This weekend is my grandson's birthday party.  Yes, I get to spend the day with about a dozen screaming 5 and 6-year olds who will be all sugared up on cake and soda.  Doesn't that sound like fun lol?  Well, speaking of sweets, I have one to share with you today and it's calorie-free!

It's Time to Recycle!

Happy Monday to all of you!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We have a new challenge for you over at the Pollycraft Challenge Blog.  Our lovely Emma chose our theme this week and she's asking everyone to recyle.

I used this adorable Mermaid from the Swings and Slides collection.  I colored this cutie with copics and prismacolor pencils and added some Glamour Dust to her body.  I really struggled with coming up with an item to recycle and finally settled on this -- the netting from a bag of onions I had purchased.

ABC Christmas Challenge

Happy Wednesday to all of you!  Today starts a new challenge over on the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog.  It is Samantha's turn to host the challenge and using the letter "P", she has decided to go with Christmas presents/packaging. 

I decided to decorate this little gift pail to be used for Christmas cookies or candy, or you could even use it to hold a gift.  I'm sure you've seen these little clear pails around - I found mine at my LSS.  I used Lenny Christmas and colored him with copics and colored pencils.  I used Fluffy Stuff on his hat and shirt.  I used a metallic pen and Glamour Dust on the ornament.  I tied some ribbon on the handles and I even decorated the top. 

Samantha is asking that you make a gift, gift box/bag, or a gift card/tag using this photo as your inspiration.  Be sure to stop by the ABC Christmas Challenge Blog to see the fabulous projects everyone created.  Why not get a head-start on your Christmas packing by playing along in their challenge?
