Hello Spring!

Good morning! This adorable little chick is taking us into Spring. Who's ready for it? I know I am!

I pulled out some Spring-y Doodlebug papers and colored the image, with pencils, to coordinate. I've used the current sketch from Catch the Bug. There is still 1 week to play along and it's a fun one, so give it a try. Here's a close-up of the colored image:

Diamonds are Forever

Good morning...happy August 1st!  I can't believe how fast the summer is going....  With the new month comes a new challenge from Flat Friends; we would like to see you use a quote on your card.  Here's what I came up with:

I used one of Em's new images...isn't she pretty?  She's colored with pencils, cut out, and popped up.  I went the "Tiffany" route with the aqua and added ribbon, a button, and Swarovski flatbacks for embellishing.  The sketch is from Freshly Made Sketches (I flipped it).

Baby Shoes

Good morning!  It's time for a new challenge from Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight, Valou has chosen our challenge and she would like to see pink and blue.  Of course that immediately made me think of baby cards, so I made 2 cards using a fun set from Doodle Pantry called Baby Shoes.  I printed the images, die cut them, and added some fun banners.  I like how the zebra print puts a fun spin on the cute, old fashioned baby shoes.  The sketch I've used is from Sunday Stamps.

Images: Doodle Pantry
Ink: Printer
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Bazzill Bling, The Paper Studio DP
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

I hope you will check out the DT's creations and play along with us!

Sassy Bachelorette

Good morning!  It's Tuesday so that means another challenge from the girls at Tuesday Morning Sketches; our sponsor for the week is Sassy Studio Designs (love the sassy images!).  In addition to a sketch, this week is our judged challenge so we have a twist...the letter "E".  Here's the sketch....

I choose Sassy Bachelorette to work with; thank you to Sassy Studio Designs...I think she's gorgeous!  She's colored with pencils and her ear ring and diamond ring are accented with some crystals. She is cut out and adhered to the card; to embellish I adhered some more crystals around the edge of the card.  Not sure why they look gold in the picture, because they are pinkish hued...so pretty in real life!  For the twist, my "E" is "elegant" because a girl can be both sassy and elegant...right?!  You bet she can!

Just curious....  Do you prefer to cut your image right at the line, or do you prefer to leave a border?  I usually don't leave a border, but the image was tiny and delicate so I did with this one.
