Catch the Bug's Penguin Parade

Good morning!  Christmas Chaos is over at Catch the Bug, but we do have a new challenge for you..."Penguin Parade"!

I knew I wanted to go with Poppi, but I also wanted snowflakes...I thought this image was perfect!  Poppi is colored with pencils and the "snow" is accented with glitter.  I've used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches...I thought it would be fun to play along with my former teamies!  It's a cute CAS sketch, plus I love the opportunity to mix up the patterned papers.  I've rounded the outer corners for interest and added some glittery snowflakes embellished with mini brads for embellishing.

You Make Life Sweet

Good morning!  The ladies at Ruby's Rainbow have a new challenge; for this fortnight, Helen has chosen "Food and/or Drink" as our theme.  Sounds fun, right?!

I have used one of my summertime favorites today...Penny Black's adorable pig in a bikini.  I love her and can't resist her charming cuteness!  She is water colored with inks and I've dotted her eyes with a black gel pen and added a Swarovski crystal to her purse.  I've used some old (very) papers from my stash and added a Paper Smooches sentiment and some ribbon for embellishing.

Image: Penny Black
Sentiment: Paper Smooches
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU! Blush Blossom, Regal Rose, Bliss Blue, Marina Mist, and Chocolate Chip Ink Pads, Sakura Black Gel Pen
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, Spring Rain, and Dark Chocolate, The Paper Studio DP
Embellies: Swarovski Flatback Crystal in "Smokey Topaz", PTI Spring Rain Grosgrain Ribbon, SU! Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos

I hope you will check out the rest of the DT's creations for Helen's fun challenge...they've done some great work!

Hey Sugar

Good morning!  We have a fun, new sketch for you at Tuesday Morning Sketches...I hope you will give it a try!

I went with black/white and a pop of color...thought it would be fun to do something different.  I like how the  mostly uncolored image pairs with the DP.  I've added some glitter to the black piece of candy, along with some black crystals for some extra sparkle.

Sentiment: Paper Smooches
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, SU! Melon Mambo, Echo Park DP, and PTI DP

Tuesday Morning Sketches #131

Good morning!  (Again!  For Creative Card Crew post scroll down; thank you.)  It's time for another fun sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches; our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry.

I like that this week's sketch was well suited for a CAS card.  I paper pieced my image, added some googlie eyes and popped up the image panel on a diecut.  I added some Valentine DP and a sentiment...voila', a quick Valentine card!

Image/Sentiment: Paper Smooches
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, SU! Black Marker
Paper: SU! Blushing Bride, PTI Dark Chocolate, PTI DP (dots), American Crafts DP
Embellies: Googlie Eyes (Hobby Lobby)
Extras: The Cat's Pajamas Die, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Dimensionals

Note:  I discovered that SU! Blushing Bride CS goes better with the PTI Sweet Blush DP than the PTI Sweet Blush CS.

I hope you will stop by to check out the rest of the DT's cards; you will surely not be disappointed.  I would love to see your take on this versatile sketch too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Smooches...Hot Stuff

Happy Thursday! I have a CAS card to share with you today using Paper Smooches stamps by Kim Hughs...love them!

For the card base: first I made a border using a sentiment, next I stamped a heart on top, last I added some scored lines. For the focal point: I paper pieced the image, added some googlie eyes, and mounted the image on DP cut with Spellbinder's dies. I popped the image up and voila'...a Halloween hottie! I just may give this to my DH....

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Wee Memories #71: Halloween or Fall themed (sponsored by Paper Smooches)

Crafts and Me #56: Orange

CAS Sunday Challenge #23: Anything goes

Simon Says....: Halloween/Goth

Images: Paper Smooches "Falling for You"
