Seeing Double!

I played along with the SplitCoast Sketch Challenge this afternoon, using "Molly's Cupcake" from Whimsy and Stars again.  Have you been over to the Whimsy and Stars blog yet??  There's lots of inspiration with Molly from the Guest Design Team *and* Mabelle is going to be giving away two of the Molly digis!  Don't miss it!  My sentiment is from the Flourishes set "TagLines" and I'm entering this card in the Flourishes challenge, too... for real or faux stitching.  I have a little of both on this card!

I made my card using some dp that I fell in love with at when our LSS was having their Going Out of Business sale last month, and I pulled Copics to match the colors in the paper.  The sentiment is on part of a tag from the Spellbinders Fancy Tag set.

Blessings!

It's almost Spring!

I just had so much fun putting this card together!  The image is a digi by Mabelle at Whimsy and Stars called Dancing Egg & Chickie.  Isn't it a hoot??  I colored with copics and I used a gel pen to add in the lines on the egg.  I didn't embellish much, but I did add some brads to the chickie's little flower wreath, and I made a flower with the Boho Blossoms punch and the Martha Stewart frond punch.

My challenges are:

Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge

Paper Cupcake Liners

Did you know that paper cupcake liners make lovely flowers???  Who knew???  The challenge today on Splitcoast was to make a birthday card using birthday supplies, so I thought it would be fun to put "my spin" on the sweet paper flowers I'd seen around blogdom.  I stacked up three flattened out cupcake liners and made three passes through my cuttlebug with different sizes of nestie dies.  Then I added a sparkly brad that I had in my stash, crumpled them all up and smoothed them out again.  The leaves are paper pieced.  Both the leaves and the sentiment are from the Clear Dollar set "Sentimental Flowers" that was released this month, and the polka dot paper is from PTI.

Blessings!

Just When I Thought...

I had time today to make a 15 minute card for the sketch challenge on Splitcoast.  I used the new DCWV mat stack that my SIL gave me for Christmas (Thanks, Kim!) and the "Love Sentiments" set from Sweet n Sassy.  The heart is all freehand... which you can probably tell by how crooked it is. ☺ The heart has dots on it because I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder and then swiped it with a white ink pad.  You can click on the picture if you'd like to see it closer.

Besides the SplitCoast Sketch, I'm entering the following challenges...

Creative Cottage Challenge - Just Words
Fab N Funky - Tempting Texture

Happy Winter!

Happy February!

Here's what it looked like outside my window last night.  Isn't it pretty???  

So, in honor of our snowstorm, I pulled out a Sweet n Sassy set called Winter Friends for today's Sketch Challenge over on Splitcoast.  

I colored my image with copics and then sponged in some clouds and drew a "faux frame".  The dp is some I got for Christmas.  The sentiment is also from the Winter Friends set.  I punched it out with the word window punch from SU and attached it with pop dots.

Be sure to stop by Sweet n Sassy and see all the new sets that were just released.  They'll help you remember that *spring* is on the way!!

Blessings!

Anyone There???

I have a fun card to share with you today! Did you know that my daughter, Katlyn, has a small shop filled with digital images?? This is a sneak peek of one of her newest sets called "Kolar's Pumpkin". Isn't this a riot? Anyone with a dog knows how curious they can be, and I can see Kolar (who is our dog in real life...) doing this. Then he would probably get his head stuck... LOL!

I made today's card with a few challenges in mind...

SCS Free for All Challenge to have a "hole" in your card... the sentiment is adhered in the "hole"...

Paper Pretties Challenge to use an animal...

Tuesday Throwdown to use punches (I used a border punch and circle and scalloped circle punches)

and

Stampin' for the Weekend with the theme of Autumn!

Thanks for looking!
