I'm a Princess

Well, I'M not actually a princess but this card will go to one!  The cute little image is from My Grafico who is sponsoring the Tuesday Throwdown challenge this week!  We have recipe challenge straight from Nana Connie - who dearly loves the color purple........SO, we need to see your creations with the following recipe: One image, One patterned paper, and the Color of Purple.  Be sure and stop by Tuesday Throwdown and see all the wonderful inspiration from the DT and enter the challenge this week.

I used a pierced circle die from Lil Inker and embossed it with the Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug.  The purple piece of patterned paper was a scrap and the 'hello princess' is from a no-name set I've had stashed away for a long time.  The little girl was colored with Copics and then I went over her entire dress with the Wink of Stella Pen.................Now........on to the hair!!!!!!  Yikes!!!  I don't like coloring hair, I'm not good at coloring hair, and would rather not have anything to do with hair!  I think I've watched every video and tutorial out there and it still looks ratty!  They all say to use the "flicking motion".  I'm sorry, but my flicking just does not flick!  I was really wanting to paper piece some hair on her - like maybe in purple - but she just didn't seem to be the type with purple hair for some reason!

Anyway........be sure and check out the Tuesday Throwdown challenge and enter for your chance to win a wonderful prize package from My Grafico.

Some Stars and a (Dirty Looking) Jar

I was playing around with a star die I recently purchased and completed a card for graduation.  I used a stripe stencil and some embossing paste and then sprinkled it with embossing powder and heat set.   Even though it doesn't say anything about graduation, it should work just fine for that occasion.

Since I was in the mood, I also created a card using a jar stamp from SU and another new die.  I really like this die and in my mind this was going to be one spectacular card!  I used vellum for the jar and think I should have used acetate instead (but of course don't have any) so as an end result the jar looks rather dirty!  LOL! So, nothing spectacular I'm afraid but still a little spring-y.

I'll enter both cards in the challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).

Just a Note

Just a note......to say I made another CAS card today.  (Um.....I really didn't mean for that to rhyme, but it did)!  I'm really not that clever!

This was one of those spur of the moment brain storms (or brain - somethings) using some scrap pieces of paper.  The yellow is from SU, red strip from Simple Stories, and the notebook looking paper from somewhere else - but can't tell you where because the cover came off the 6X6 pad and is now history!  I don't even think I've ever used the notebook paper before mainly because it always appeared to be a little dirty looking or smudged.  Maybe that's the "distress" look of it.  Anyway!  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.  This was stamped in Momento Luxe and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The sequins in yellow, red, and blue were added and then the tiny clothes pin clipped on.

I'd like to enter this in the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes challenge this week and also Fusion.  See the sketch and photo for the Fusion challenge below.  I'm pretty sure I even "fused" them together!

Another Hoot

Not really much to say about my card today except - here it is!  The little hooters are from a Hero Arts set that was done for Operation Write Home.  It has so many super cute images and sentiments.  The wooden do-dads (don't know what else you call those things) were from a Simon Says Stamp kit.  Image colored in Copics and clouds with Tumbled Glass distress ink.

Was that just the shortest post ever!!!!!!  Not very chatty for some reason so won't even attempt to bore you with more.............

Everything's Just Ducky

Hope everything is just ducky wherever you are today!  I'm here with a cute little digi from Deedee's Digis.  This little guy is from the set Rainy Day and not only includes cute images in color and line, but also sentiments and paper!  All of Deedee's Digis are so very cute and pretty and if you haven't checked out her site yet, go take a peek.

I used the line version of little duck and colored him/her with Copics and made some dots on the umbrella.  the three strips of paper were just some I had in my scraps from various companies.  I added a button and the twine and think this will be good to send to a friend.  Who knows......maybe it'll even rain now!

Two Chubby Bunnies

Hi everyone!  This first little bunny is from All Dressed Up and what a wonderful little guy he is!  He's a new image that you can find in the All Dressed Up SHOP along with so many others!  Hop on over to the blog and see all the new images and join in on our current challenge.  You must use an All Dressed Up image but there's free ones on the blog if you don't have any OR you can always drop a few in your Easter basket from the store!

I used two different patterned papers on this and colored the bunny by just outlining him with a Copic and using chalk for the inside of his ear.  No way could I never color this little guy like the next one you're going to see. The grass was stamped with a Lawn Fawn stamp and then I die cut a couple of little clouds to add to the picture.  Now, on to the second chubby bunny...................

Can everyone say Ahhhhhhhhh....at the same time!  Isn't this little baby adorable!  Jim was mowing in a field close to the house the other day and came really close to smoking this little one out completely!  LOL!  He called to come running with the camera.  I really thought he had a 6 foot long rattlesnake or something.  But no, he had this little baby rabbit that was in the way of the mower.  I'm just thankful he saw it.  Pretty cute, right!

Be sure and hop on over to All Dressed Up!

Thanks for stopping by..........and hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Tennis, Anyone?

Kenny K is sponsoring our brand new Digi Haven challenge this week!  They provided us with the wonderful images and our theme this go-round is Black, White, and One other Color.  Stop by our blog and see all the inspiration from the DT and enter for your chance to win a great prize package from Kenny K!

Guess this is another one of my CAS and git 'er done cards!  The reason I wanted to use this image though is because it's going to one of the granddaughters that's attempting to learn the game of tennis.  Figured she needed all the encouragement she could get.  She's at at age where she seems to be all arms and legs and is having problems getting them all to work together.  LOL!  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and I used the star die from SU and a camera die from Lil Inker.  Nothing frilly or fancy but at least she'll know I'm rooting for her.

I'll enter this in the challenge at KennyK's Krafty Krew (anything goes with twist: Stars) and also the challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).

Thanks for stopping by and be sure and check out Digi Haven and enter our challenge.
