Bertie Bunny

Hello! The other week I was invited to pick a image an be a Guest Designer for Digital Delights! Of course I said yes!! I choose the Adorable Bertie Bunny for my card, isn't she just the cutest??! I colored her with my copics, added some stickles to the flower, and some glossy accents to her nose. The pretty papers are from an older DCVW Spring 6x6 pad that I picked up at Jo Ann's I believe? So wish I would have gotten more than 1! Added lots of little extra embellishments on this card but I think it turned out cute! Thanks so much to Digital Delights for inviting me to join them today.

Spring Daisy

Hello! Well I made time for another card. Knew I had to use this sketch when I saw it, lots of layers just the way I like. My image is from Bugaboo but I can't remember the name and the store seems to be down at the moment due to moving. My ladybugs are flat backed an wooden. I found them at either Jo Ann's or Michael's in their spring crafting section a year or two ago I think? My memory isn't what it used to be! I bought some little bees in the same trip but have yet to use them. That's it for now be sure to check back tomorrow for the new Tuesday Morning Sketch.

Good Luck Sweetie!

Hello! Been slacking on blog posts here of late! A lot of the stuff I've been working on is for up coming DT stuff though, plus darn work has been cutting into my crafty time as well. But I had to make sure I got my card in for the progressive challenge this month over at From the Heart. I don't usually make St Patty's day cards and since it's past anyway I went another route with my card. Although I'm second guessing my choice?! Is it appropriate? Thoughts?? Ok that's all for now maybe I'll get cracking an have a card for tomorrow too?! If not I'll be back Tuesday for sure with the new Tuesday Morning Sketch! Thanks for stopping by an enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Spring has Sprung!

Hello! It's Tuesday so its time for another new sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. My card today uses a couple of cute duck digi's I bought back in December from Doodle Pantry before they closed. I couldn't pass up their 75% off going out of business sale. Sure will miss their cute stuff though. Not sure I like my card?  I picked my paper based on the sketch photo.......but thinking that paper might have been better paired with a large sentiment image instead?! Oh well it is what it is. Can't Love them all I guess! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of the DT has created this week.

Peek -a- Boo

 

Hello! This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches we have 2 different versions of the sketch for you to chose from! I admit at first I was REALLY stumped! But then I thought my Lili of the Valley James Peeping Bear stamp. This sketch is perfect for him! LOVE how this turned out. I colored him with my Copics and "popped" up his feet with some foam tape. I layered some gingham ribbons and finished it off with a bow and pretty rhinestones. My paper is PTI. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out and see what the rest of the DT has come up with this week. Challenges are listed below.

Teapot Daffodils

Hello! Thinking Spring even though a big snow storm is possibly headed our way! My card uses a colored digi from Beccy's Place. I think it may be retired because I couldn't find in currently in the store. This is my 1st time using a pre colored image. I printed it out ages ago to use as a guide to color my own image but decided to cut this one out an just use it! Found this chevron paper that matched and it went from there. The embossed panel is the SU shell folder. Added some buttons with Baker's Twine an called it done. I think it's a very cheerful card. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Frog Pile Up

Hello! Been a few days since my last post. I'm trying to get ahead on my DT stuff in case we get this big snow storm next week! If we'd lose power (which living in the woods it happens frequently in bad storms) I wanted to have my cards made, photographed and blog posts written/scheduled. Now that I've planned ahead it will be a big dud i'm sure!

Today's card uses a digi from Scrap N' Dipity that I won the other week in some challenge! It's called Pile of Frogs. Thought it would make some cute kids cards maybe even a baby card too sometime??! Went with a boy card this time round but found some cute pink "froggy" paper in my stash so I'm sure there will be a girly version in the near future?!! My card uses this weeks Freshly Made Sketch but as usual I may have went a little heavy on all my layers!! Me and CAS just don't get along! Anyway I think it turned out cute. Thanks for stopping by an enjoy the rest of your weekend! Challenges are listed below.

Happy Thoughts

Hello and Happy Tuesday! This week at Tuesday Morning Sketches we are sponsored by DRS Designs. I have used Polka Dot Flower Trio and One Line Happy Thoughts Greeting on my card. I heat embossed my image and colored it with my copics. I added some stickles to the butterfly. Dusted off my corner punch, man its be ages since I used that! Added a few gems to finish it off. Love the colors on this one, kinda monochromatic?? Thanks for stopping by an be sure to check out the rest of the DT's cards.

Flower bird

Hello! Today I have a bright an cheerful card to share with you. This little Flower bird from Bugaboo Stamps is a lot of fun to color. I went with a more Spring/Easter look for this one but have started coloring another with the bird done in blue. Maybe for a birthday card sometime?!! I wish I would have went with plain circle brads instead of the flower ones. I think its a bit to flowery but I already had it glued in place an it was to late to change them. I think this is a great sketch for using up little scraps. Thanks for stopping by an be sure to check back tomorrow for the new Tuesday Morning Sketch! Challenges are listed below.

Think Spring

Hello! Spring keeps trying to arrive early here in PA(although not this weekend!!) so I thought I'd make a daffodil card since mine started blooming last week! I posted a picture below. The Freshly made sketch this week was perfect for larger images. I had this Daffodil image (from the former Paper and Such company) in my already colored pile so I decided to fussy cut it out and place it on some DP. I tend to avoid chevron patterns but thought it looked really good paired with the daffodils??! I added a sentiment from PTI an randomly placed some rhinestones to finish it off. I'm happy with how it all turned out! What do you think?? Well off to try an make another card yet today can't believe the weekend is almost over! Challenges are listed below.

Bunny Hugs

Hello! My card today uses the adorable Bunny Love from over at From The Heart. It also uses their current sketch at I {heart} Sketches. Tried to keep this card from looking like a valentine. I wanted it to be a more thinking of you, sending you hugs kinda card. I just got in a huge order of paper from the Papertrey Ink sale back in January an wanted to use some. Now all I need is a Hugs die cut to finish it off but I don't have one! Will have to keep my eye out for one. I still think it turned out cute so I'm also entering it in the Cute Card Thursday, Anything Goes challenge as well. Thanks for stopping by an have a great weekend!

I "Heart" Cats!

Hello!! Today's creation is another all die cuts and/or punches card! The background is a Darcie embossing folder that I water colored. The bench is spellbinders, the cats and birds are Memory Box/Poppy Stamps, the grass is Sweet 'N' Sassy Stamps, and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. Flower punch is unknown. I added a few rhinestones to my flowers and butterflies. Love how this card turned out. Playing with die cuts to create scenes is so much fun! Thanks for stopping by. Challenges are listed below.

Lilac Bear

Hello! One of my favorite things in spring is Lilacs! I just love the smell of them. My Mom has a bush and cuts me a vase full every year. With all the warm weather we've been having here in south central PA they are liable to be blooming early this year! Hopefully they don't get froze out if the nice weather doesn't stay.

My card uses a older wooden "Gruffies" stamp called Lavender Bouquet by Stampabilities. Which it now seems is sold by Stampendous as a cling mount and called Lilac Bear??! Either way it's a cute stamp! I colored it with my prismacolor pencils. I used my most used go to embossing folder swiss dots. Love that folder! Mine is getting well used so I bought a back up for when this one gives out an eventually breaks(it's getting very weak at the seam). I added a MFT Banner die cut topped with a button an tied with a bakers twine bow. I also used a PTI Doily die. This card makes me smile! Thanks for stopping by an have a great day!
