Please remember to use an image from Just Some Lines - we have lots of fun images including some freebies... I'd also like to enter this into the:
 
 Time4Scrap: St. Patrick's Day

I used 4 Leaf Clover Fairy, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and some Stickles.  Papers are (free) digi papers from Digital Card Fun.   I printed a shamrock on the opposite side of the polka dot paper, then cut it out and inked the edges of the printed side so it would stand out a bit more.  Sentiment is from SRM Stickers.  Ribbon is from Stampin' Up!

We also have a new itinerary challenge at:

1. Asian Themed
2. Lots of Red
3. Metallics

6. Vellum
7. Found Object from Nature

Remember to use at least 3 items from the itinerary - I used #'s 1, 2, and 4.  I used Dollie Daydream Goes East - Parasol from Polka Doodles, colored with Prismacolor markers, pencils, and mineral spirits - added some Stickles to the bird & flowers.  Paper was in my stash - along with the little metal charm that says "live you dream".  Ribbon is from Stampin' Up!  Peace.

Happy Valentine's Day - Queen Bean

Hello friends - yup, 2 days in a row here - I'm on a roll.  LOL  How sad is that?  I can't believe how badly I've been at keeping my blog up these last couple of months.  It's really no wonder artists are always called "struggling" - I don't know about you guys, but when my life and mind feel cluttered and disorganized, I just can't get my creative juices flowing!  So when I am feeling the mood to craft lately, I jump at it!  LOL  I had an order for Valentine's cards, which gave me the perfect chance to use this sweet stamp below.... this card is for the following challenges:




I used Queen Bean from The Greeting Farm, stamped in red ink directly on DP from My Mind's Eye.  I colored some of the hearts with Red Stickles and left the rest uncolored.  Added some red rick rack, a red ribbon tag, and a little red heart gem.  Peace.
