Hello friends. I hope you've enjoyed your weekend. I've been out car shopping all weekend. While I love looking and test-driving these new rides, I don't like looking at the prices in the window. Yikes! Of course my dream automobile costs way more than my budget will allow (sigh!). I still haven't decided which one I'm buying but it won't be that shiny red 2011 Corvette I was eyeing for a little under $60,000 lol! Anyway, I did manage to get a card made this weekend :)
I used Cuthbert's Party from Pollycraft. I love the sweet little expression on this bear's face. I colored him with copics and colored pencils. I used Glossy Accents on his balloons and some stickles on the star on his shirt. I added a bow and a little birthday sentiment.
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit.

Happy Saturday to all of you. I have a new Bugaboo card to share with you.
I've used Bugaboo's Deacon Swing on my card. I think this little fella is so cute swinging away with his best buddy, his little teddy bear. I used my copics and colored pencils to color the image and used Flower Soft on the tree leaves above him. I only had white Flower Soft so I used my Tombow markers and a little spritz of water to make it green. Of course I also colored my fingers green in the process but I won't show you a picture of them lol! I stamped my sentiment on a die-cut cloud and added a little punched fence behind his swing. Some brads and ribbon finished off my card.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy Friday friends! Meljen's Designs has a new release and I think you're going to love these fun designs.
I used Beach Kitten on my card and colored her with copics and colored pencils. I added some Glossy Accents to her cool sunglasses, and I used a little touch of stickles on her drink to make it look icy cold. She's one cool cat, don't you think? I used my new MFT die-namic for the sun and added some buttons and twine.

Hello friends. Well, this is my third post for today. Can you tell I've been just a wee bit busy lol? Anyway, I have a new Simply Sassy girl to share with you today.
This is Amelia. I've decided that she's missing her sweetie and she's getting ready to fly off to see him. I used my copics and colored pencils to color this pretty lady. I tried going with darker hair and as you can tell, I need to practice that some more lol! I used a little bit of Glossy Accents on her pocket watch and stenciled some clouds.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Happy June 1st everyone! It's time for the new digital stamp release and blog hop for Whimsy Stamps. You should have arrived here from Anneke's blog. If you didn't arrive from her blog and would like to join in the hop, please start at the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Blog. There are lots of fantastic new images available in the shop, so please hop along with us for a preview of these fun new images.
For my blog hop project, I used the adorable Sandy digital image from Crissy's Digis. Isn't she precious? I colored her with copics and colored pencils and added some Glossy Accents to her bucket and shovel.
Your next stop on the hop is Dawn. If you should happen to get lost along the way, you can find the blog hop list over at the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Blog. Don't forget to leave comments along the way because there are 2 mystery DT members who will each choose a winner from the comments left on their blog hop posts. The winners will each win a Whimsy digi image of their choice!
The Grand Prize winner of the hop will be chosen from the very last stop, which is Alissa's blog. This winner will receive 5 digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy and will also get a chance to use those new digital images as a guest designer for Whimsy for the month of June. The hop ends on Wednesday, June 8, at 12 Noon EST. So, hop on over to the next stop and good luck!
Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hello everyone. Wow, it's Wednesday already? I think because of the Memorial Day holiday this week is just flying by for me. Since it is Wednesday, the Divas by Design have a new challenge for you. The theme this week is florals. You can use a floral image, floral papers, or add flowers to your project. Super easy, right?
I've used Watering by Belles 'n Whistles on my card. Isn't this little girl precious? I used copics and colored pencils to color her. My paper is My Mind's Eye and has a floral pattern. I also used my punches to add some flowers to the corner. A little bit of ribbon and a bow finished my card.
Please be sure to stop by the Divas by Design Challenge Blog to check out the gorgeous projects by the other DT members. Their work is fabulous so you won't want to miss all that inspiration! Our challenge is open for two weeks so I hope you can find some time to play along with us. We are being sponsored by The Poodles Digi Doodles and you can find all their fabulous images here.

Hello peeps. I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. Mine was very relaxing. Since it's Tuesday that means we have a new challenge for you over at the Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog. It was my turn to pick the challenge and I chose "make your own embellishments". You can use punches, dies, or whatever suits you and you can add as many or as few embellishments as you want. Now, how easy is that?
I used BFF's Phoebe on my card and colored her with copics and colored pencils. I stitched around my image and used my Martha Stewart lace heart border punch. My flower was made using a My Favorite Things die. I handcut the little leaf and added a pearl to the flower.
Be sure you stop by the Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge Blog to check out the gorgeous cards by the other DT members. I hope you find time to play along in our challenge this week.
