You are loved.

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Sister Act Card Challenge. 

Come on over and join us. :) 

This week we are being sponsored by Digital Delights. Thanks so much! 

I love this card. :) I used an old Simon Says Stamp kit from February for the stamps (Paper Hug) and rub-ons (American Crafts's Kiss Kiss). I used the Memento Ink Dew Drops in a rainbow of colors to achieve my background. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

For the Teacher

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Sister Act Card Challenge. 

Come on over and join us. :) 

This week we are being sponsored by Di's Digis. Thanks so much! 

I actually made these for the girls' teachers for Valentine's Day and just haven't gotten them up on the blog yet. Aren't they so cute?!?! I had to go less mushy as my oldest has a male teacher. 

Anyhoo, I made one a blond and one a brunette after my daughters. This is an image from Melonheadz Friends. They have so many cute images available, for all kinds of different events and occasions. I colored them up with my Prismacolor pencils and matted them on Stampin' Up's Sahara Sand card stock. Used another, bigger, mat of black and a white card base. 

I colored the polka dots in with my white gel pen but in this picture it looks like I forgot to do my blond's dots. Oops. Oh, well. I guess if it was perfect no one would believe I made it. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

Celebrating early!!

Back a few months ago, when Jenn was counting up the challenges to get sponsors and information lined up, she had a very foggy post-pregnancy brain. She counted up what she thought would have been the 100th post and it landed on today. She, along with Trish-who was also recovering from a post-pregnancy brain, planned a big online party for the challenge blog. However, it was noticed that it is not quite the 100th post, but the 97th post. But, hey!!! We like to do things different around here and we're going to celebrate anyways! 

Each DT member has graciously offered up some blog candy in celebration of our big milestone and if you follow along the blog hop and the instructions you may earn some extra goodies this week. There will be a prize offered here like normal and an extra random prize for a commenter under this blog. WOW! Lots of fun stuff. 

We want to thank all of you for being a huge part of this blog and for showing your support weekly. Our awesome DT members are busy, but they are faithful in sharing their creations with all you card crafters. We love that you stop by and share yours, as well!! 

So, without further ado...

HAPPY 97th BLOG POST!!! 

I created this card for my daughter, who turned SIX years old yesterday!! I can't believe how fast she's growing. :) 

I used Saturated Canary's Ava as my main image. (You can see her as a blond HERE.) I colored her up with my Prismacolor pencils and used my Nestabilities Circle dies to cut her out and give her a mat. The paper I am using is left over from an old Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card kit. My card base is Neenah Desert Storm. 

I didn't put anything on the inside because my oldest and youngest wanted to do the decorating. :) 

 Happy Birthday, P! We love you.

I will put together a little goodie package for a lucky participant of our blog hop! Good luck and thank you so much for your support. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

This week we are being sponsored by MilkCoffee. Thanks so much! 

I used this darling image from Saturated Canary called 'Ava'. Isn't she so sweet? I colored her up with my Prismacolor pencils using my favorite, a rainbow theme! I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Black Onyx ink and a Sweet Stamp Shop set (retired). I added Glossy Accents to the balloon. 

This is for a sweet little friend of my oldest. She is a blond, and I hope she likes that I tried to make the image look like her. :) 

I have a brunette version coming later in the month for my daughter's birthday in mid-March. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

Craft for the Craic : February - Birthday/Anniversary

Sweet Birthday Wishes

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Sister Act Card Challenge. 

Come on over and join us. :) 

This week we are being sponsored by All Dressed Up. Thanks so much! 

I love this image from All Dressed Up, but there's not an image I've seen yet that I haven't loved. They;re just so girlie and sweet and with two girls in the house (and all their friends) it's hard not to find good uses for these adorable images.

I colored my little cutie with Prismacolor pencils. I had to outline her with my thin Copic markers because my printer didn't print as dark as it normally does and I wanted that effect. I guess I need a new ink cartridge. :) I used Copic markers for the outline and 'floor'. I used Glossy Accents on the starts and Diamond Stickles on her wings. I cut her out using my 'Labels 9' Nestabilities dies.

The doily is from my stash. Can I just say I don't think I have ever used a doily. Like EVER. I really like it! The diagonal paper is a scrap I had from making a mini album from a Teresa Collins kit a couple years ago. The edged piece in the center was also found, as is, in my scrap stash but I know that it's Stampin' Up's Elegant Eggplant. The card base is Bazzil's Marshmallow and the mats are Neenah's Desert Storm.

The sentiment is from a set that was gifted to me from Darnell. Thanks Darnell!! The set is call Communique Curves from PaperTrey Ink. I inked it up in Stampin' Up's Whisper White Craft ink and heat embossed it with their white embossing powder. Didn't do as well with the Craft ink as with Versamark but I wanted it to be 'very' white, if you know what I mean? 

This is a card for our sweet friend, Dara Kate, who is celebrating 6 years old next week! I think I got the looks close enough that she will be able to tell it's her. :) 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

It's time for another ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Sister Act Card Challenge. 

Come on over and join us. :) 

This week we are being sponsored by Meljen's Designs. Thanks so much! 

I used Meljen's Camera Mouse for this shaped card. I colored him up with my Prismacolor pencils and applied Glossy Accents on the camera lens, flash, and viewfinder. I used my Circle Nestabilites dies to create my focal point and mat, and the scalloped version for the card base. The letter stickers are from Basic Grey. 

On the inside, I used more of the Basic Grey letter stickers to create the rest of the sentiment. My kids will sign it in white gel pen.

This is for a little guy who will be turning 3 next month. With my youngest in a little preschool class, even at 3, he gets invited to birthday parties and such. Love the challenge of making a card that a little one (and hopefully their adult as well) will like. :)

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
