HAPPY

 Good morning! I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Retro Rubber #267

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - A Bit o' Green

Crafty Gals Corner - AG/Optional Make it Green

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

As You Like It #368 - Floral Sketch

I created my background by ink blending Distress Oxide Inks through my Music Love stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop). I die cut the word HAPPY from a scrap of bright pink cardstock. I stamped Sing Hope & Grace from The Greeting Farm (this one is from around 2009) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and a white gel pen, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.

Chapter One...

 Hello friends! I love making tags/bookmarks - this one was quick and easy to put together since I didn't color it!  I would like to enter this into these 2 challenges:

Double D - Books/Bookmark and/or Postal/Postage

Make My Monday #273 - All Tied Up

I used the bookmark and book die cuts from the Bookmark II Die Set at Newton's Nook, cutting out one black and one kraft bookmark. I layered them on top of each other and tore the bottom of the kraft one. I stamped the flower from the Wounds and Blooms - In the Light set at Unity Stamp Co. with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then did the same thing with the sentiment from the Chapter One set. Peace.

Focus on What's Important

 Good morning!  I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

CAS Colours & Sketches #580

Beautiful Blossoms #39 - Anything Floral Goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday - A Bit o' Green

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2610 - Anything Goes

Try it on Tuesday - Make it Feminine

I printed out this digi from ArtistLines Floral Procreate Stamps, Bouquets, and Wreaths set, colored with Copics and I used Liquid Diamonds on the lens and flash. I used a rounded edge rectangle nesting die set to cut it out, layered on a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I mounted it on a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and die cut a fern from the Mushrooms & Ferns die set from Hero Arts from a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock. Peace.

Celebrate You

Happy Sunday! I woke up with a bad headache yesterday - I used to get migraines when I was younger, but they stopped for years.  Menopause seems to have fired them back up again - the joys of womanhood!  ;) Luckily, I didn't have anything going on this weekend so I have just been taking it easy. I spent some time in my craft room playing with some old rubber stamps! I'd like to enter this card below into the following challenges:

Retro Rubber #265

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - A Bit o' Green

Creative Inspiration #36 - Anything Goes

Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes/Spring

Simon Says Stamp Monday - A Bit o' Green

I created my background by using the reverse stencil technique with my Music Love stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off your entire order). I stamped Monday from The Greeting Farm (2010) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics and a white gel pen and fussy cut her, attaching her with foam dimensional tape. I added some text stickers and bling. Peace.

It's Your Day!

I love stepping outside of my comfort zone and creating projects that I wouldn't normally make - it's such a confidence booster when you're happy with something that you were a little afraid to make!  I don't make a lot of floral cards - but I love how this one came out! I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Time Out #308 - Birthday CASE

Try it on Tuesday - Make it Feminine

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

I Love ProMarkers #602 - AG/Optional Birthday

Creative Knockouts - Birthday Wishes

I stamped the images from Unity Stamp Co's Be Gentle with Yourself on DP from the Moonborn Flight paper pack - I used Versafine Black ink with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, flicked some Gold Mica Spray all over it, and added a few gold pearl stickers. Peace.

Polkadoodles Mother's Day!

Welcome to another week of inspiration from the Polkadoodles DT!

Don't forget you have a chance to win a $20 credit or one of TWO $10 credits to the store!  Come play along!

I instantly fell in love with the Udderly Cute Cows Love & Friendship Big Kahuna Collection when it was released and I knew I wanted to make my mom a Mother's Day card with one of these sweet images! 

For my card, I layered the purple paper from the Flower Meadow pack behind the wood grain paper from the Printable Paper Pack 5 Udderly Cute, die cutting a large heart from the wood grain paper so the purple would show through. 

I used the adorable Hearts & Flowers Udderly Cute Cow digi, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape.

I added a sentiment from the Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends sentiment pack, and finished it off with a charm and some rhinestone stickers.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Paper Funday #85 - AG/Optional Twist Fur or Feathers

Wednesday's Creative Inspiration - Cute Critters

Simon Says Stamp Monday - A Bit o' Green

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie - March

I created my background by using some green Lindy's Magicals on a piece of watercolor paper - I layered it over and over, drying between layers. I then used my Clover Frame stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off), applying Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink through it and embossing with clear embossing powder. I printed out the image from Oddball Art (no longer in business), colored with Copics, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. Peace.
