Happy Birthday

Hello friends - woke up to a rainy morning, which dampened (ha ha - get it?) my spirits and helped me to decide it was a good day to stay in and see how many projects I can get made instead of heading out to do some shopping.  I like to shop in the sunshine, so hopefully the sun will cooperate with my plans tomorrow morning.  :)

For now, here's a card I made for the:

DigiStampBoutique April Challenge

and

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Happy Birthday

This sweet DSB image is called Birthday Zoe, and I colored her with Prismacolor markers, pencils, and mineral spirits.  Added lots of Stickles, a few ribbons from my stash, and a button from Stampin' Up!  Papers are from doodlebug designs inc.  Peace.

Sometimes you just need a friend...

Happy Monday!  I stumbled across the cutest image on one of my fellow DT member's blogs yesterday, her name is Lisa and you can check out her blog here.  Anyway,  the image is from Doodle Pantry and is called Charlie Daisy, and I was so inspired that I decided to buy the same image and link up to the:

I would also like to link this up to the following challenges:

The Squirrel & the Fox: All Creatures Great & Small

I colored Charlie with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and added some Stickles to his hooves and the butterfly.  The sentiment is also from Doodle Pantry.  Paper is from My Mind's Eye, flower button is from SU! and the butterfly charm is from Joann.com.  Peace.

Skullduggery

Hello friends -most of you know that my favorite cards/projects to make are Halloween/creepy ones.  But I haven't had many opportunities to play with my skulls and spiders and such.... so I decided to play along this week with the Minions at:

Haunted Design House #185: Skullduggery

I used a skull I found by Googling "free skull coloring pages" and fussy-cut it to fit on my 5.25 square card.  I colored with Prismacolor markers and glitter, and added some red gemstone stickers.  Sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie.  Peace.

Bunnies & Peace

What day is it?

Today we have a new challenge for you at:

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Bunnies

We are being sponsored by A Day for Daisies and I used Bunny in a Tulip, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Papers & "So Sweet" chipboard piece are from My Mind's Eye.  Brads are from my stash.  

I turned my ATC into a card for the following challenges:

Creative Card Crew: Animals

Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

Top Tip Tuesday:  Cute

Lexi's Creations: Easter

 

My TIP is this:  Use your ATC's and turn them into something else:  cards, tags, bookmarks, refrigerator magnets... I happen to have a lot of ATC's because I run an ATC challenge blog, so I do this quite a bit!  :)

My next card is for the following challenges:

Unscripted Sketches

Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes

This was so simple to make - I just layered a piece of frayed white cardstock onto an orange card, then attached a bunch of orange gemstone stickers and an orange glittery peace sign sticker.  Voila - quickest card I ever made!  :)  Peace.

love yourself & DICC #74

Woke up to the sun shining today - such a nice change!  I was supposed to go out and do errands yesterday but it was rainy and gloomy and I just didn't feel like it.  I'm glad I waited, today is a much nicer day for running around!
