Digital Tuesday Challenge #60 - Cute People

Happy Tuesday everyone and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge!
Sandy is our hostess this week and she has chose the challenge

Cute People

What a fantastic challenge as I had so many cute people to choose from!! I decided to use a digi from Phindy's Place. I was lucky enough to be the winner of the $8 gift certificate to Phindy's store a few weeks ago, and got to choose some images. They are all so cute so I decided to buy a couple extras too. If there were only more hours in a day so I could use them all sooner!!I made this card for my daughter to give to her daddy for father's day. I just love this image because it very much resembles my almost 4-year old when she puts on daddy's big work boots.
I colored the image using copic markers. The papers are from bo bunny, it's actually a double sided paper. Embellished with some ribbon, hard ware and brads.

My card also fits this week's Phindy's Place Challenge (Theme: masculine card). Don't know if my card qualifies as a masculine card but it will be given to a male.

Hedgie Chit Chat

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend with lots of sunshine. I sure did!
I even found some time to make a couple of cards.

I felt like using one of my Penny Black stamps, Chit Chat. It's the first Penny Black stamp I ever bought and still my very favorite one, but haven't used it for some time now.
I stamped it on my brand new couture 80lb copic blending paper that I just received from I heart papers. I wasn't sure if I should get Neenah or PTI and then I read about couture paper. Since it was the least expensive with shipping and all I decided to give it a try. Love how the copics colored on this paper, but I haven't had a chance yet to try it out with digistamps.

The challenge at the Penny Black challenge blog this week is "lots of dots" so I dug out some old olive prints designer paper so I could play along. I kept the card pretty simple, and embellished only with a little bit of ribbon, a butterfly and a couple of pearls. Of course I had to add some stickles for a little bit of sparkle too.
My card also fits this week's Stamp Something Challenge (theme: two of something-I have used 2 pearls, or 2 critters).

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. Hope you liked the card. Be sure to check back tuesday for another cute card that I made for another cute challenge!
Have a wonderful day!

Digital Stamp Oasis sponsoring Totally Papercrafts

Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone's having a GREAT day!

I meant to post this early this morning, but then my son woke up with a temperature and he is home from school so I did not have the chance to do as I planned.

Digital Stamp Oasis is sponsoring "Totally Papercrafts" challenge blog this week and Emma asked if I'd like to join them as a guest designer for the week. Of course I said yes.
The challenge is an inspiration challenge and here is the inspiration piece. Isn't it delicious.

Of course I had to use my Sammy squirrel eats strawberries digi :-)


The image was colored using copic markers. I also used a white prismacolor pencils to add a few highlights. Edges were sponged using kiwi kiss ink (SU). Designer paper is something brand new that I picked up at my last trip to a local stamping store. I embellished with some paper flowers, ribbon, eyelets and glitter.

I used the sketch from sketch saturday.
My card also fits the papertake weekly challenge, with the theme flowers.

Thanks so much for visiting me today. Hope you liked the cards. And hopefully you'll be able to play this week's Totally Papercrafts challenge too for a chance to win some images from the Digital Stamp Oasis.

Vellum - Digital Tuesday Challenge #59

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge!

Our challenge this week, chosen by Michelle is

Vellum.

You don't have to print your digi on vellum, as long as you use it somewhere on your creation is fine with us. I hope you'll play along. If you are like me you have some vellum somewhere in your stash but haven't used it in - like forever! Glad I had the chance to dig it out!

And here's my card. My vellum is the embossed circle behind the image, and I also stamped the sentiment on vellum.

My card uses the image "Mushroom Lane - butterfly" from Digital Stamp Oasis. It's one of my favorites. I don't know why, but I have really been using many images with mushrooms recently. I just love mushroom images I suppose.

Papers are from stampin up and K&company. I adhered the image to a vellum circle that I embossed using a cuttlebug folder. The sentiment was also stamped on a piece of vellumd and attached to the card front. I planned on adding some dew drops to hide the glue dots, but forgot to do that before I took the picture. I embellished with some red ribbon, prima flower and flourish, and of course I had so add some stickles too. Oh, and I decided the card needed some zigzag stitches, so I got out my janome mini sewing machine.

My card also fits the ABC challenge (theme: unused stash), La-La Land (theme: anything goes), Crafty Ann's Challenge blog (theme: anything goes also), Cute Card Thursday (theme: for someone special).

I hope you like the card. Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Team's work, it's just gorgeous! Hope you can play along this week for a chance to win 3 digis from the Digital Stamp Oasis.
