Ava Swing

Good morning! We have a new challenge up for you at Incy Wincy Designs! Our challenge is

Photo Inspiration



This week our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps! They gave us images so we could create something based on this gorgeous picture!! I chose to use Ava Swing. I colored her and her cat friend with copics. I used papers from the Summer Days stack by DCWV. Added flowers from I Am Roses and WOC and some yellow pearls from Michaels. I used chalk to color in the background.

Read all about it

So join us this week while we celebrate reading! Make your own bookmark or creation with reading as the theme! Our fabulous sponsors gave us an image to work with! I chose Follow Your Dreams by Wings and Willows. This was such a fun image to color. I used my copics to color it, printed the sentiment from Word, and distressed the edges with Faded Jeans ink. I made this for my children. They really love reading. They go through so many books through the week, I can't get enough at the library! :)  I hope you enjoy my bookmark and join us in our Read all about it challenge!

Celebrate Friendship

Good morning! I have not had such a wonderful morning. :'(  I've been trying all morning to get my internet to work correctly. Every time I went to upload my picture, my internet shut down. Ggrrrrr....   So after six phone calls and about 100 hairs torn out later, I finally left Internet Explorer and tried Chrome. It worked!!! :) So, without further nonsense......Today is a new challenge at Delightful Challenges! This week we are
Celebrating Friendship
We would love to see your creations about Friendship. I used the cute Booboo again. :) This image is called Time for Tea Booboo. I added the circular Friendship sentiment on the inside. I used copics to color this cutie and added some distressing ink. Dis-stress.......that sounds nice! HAHA! I added lace around the image, a doily die cut, flowers from I Am Roses and WOC, and a real tea bag that I added designer paper to. The paper is from The Garden Tea Party stack from DCWV. Hope you enjoy my card and join us this week celebrating Friendship!

Watch Out!

I bet you are all wondering what in the world this card is about! :) I made this card for my oldest daughter who turns 16 in 11 days! I know the image is a boy, but I think she'll get the point. :) She is still really nervous about driving and is afraid of hitting, well.....everything, so I thought this would make her laugh. The license plate at the bottom is totally what she would say if she hit a tree or started a fire! :) I'm really not sure if I should be laughing or crying.....however, I know that she will be a fine driver. I used the You Passed Set from Digital Delights for the super fun challenge this week at Delightful Challenges! We want you to play

Bingo
 

Scroll down to see the Bingo card :)

I used the top row of Buttons, Dimension and Pattern Paper. So just make three in a row and come over and join us this week! I also used the images Circular Tree Background, Ouch Lili, Baseball Cap Bear Topper and Fireman Peyton! I used my copics to color all of them. Poor Lili got mawled by Taylor, baseball cap bear is hiding from her and Fireman Peyton has to put out the fire she started by hitting something. :) I hope this card made you laugh or maybe smile! Have an awesome day!

I added banners from Digital Delights and used chalk to add some color to it. I found some ribbon in my stash that matched perfectly so I had to add it also! :)

Happy Mother's Day

Hello! It's Thursday, so that means another new challenge at Delightful Challenges! This week we want to see your stash. Our theme is Stash It! So dig down deep in those drawers and grab those items that you hoard!! I tend to hoard my flowers and this paper stack. This paper is from the Ciao Bella Stack from DCWV. We also have an awesome sponsor this week, Robin's Nest! I used the sweet image Flower Power Rosie with the Mother's Day sentiment. I created a step card this week. This was my first try at a step card and I think I'll be making more of these! I colored Rosie with my copics and cut out the scalloped edge, floral edging, and flowers in the flower bed with my cricut. I paper pieced the flowers in the flower bed. The ivory flowers are I Am Roses and the pink flower is WOC. I added liquid pearls to the edges. Hope you enjoyed my card today and pop over and join us in our Stash it challenge!

Sweet Treat

Good morning all! I've been enjoying some very nice weather the last couple of days! I hope you have been as well. We have an awesome new challenge over at Crafty Sentiments! We want you to Use a Sentiment. I used the fabulous stamp Annabel - Sweet Treat with a sentiment from the Spring Sentiment Digi set. I colored Annabel and her cute wagon with my copics and embossed the background with clouds. I shaded the ground and sky with chalk. The papers are from the Girlhood stack from DCWV. The butterflies are cut from Die-namics butterfly die cut and distressed with ink. The flowers are from I Am Roses, Wild Orchid Crafts, and JoAnn's. I had a strip of yellow ribbon lying around so I started playing around with it. I tried rolling it up and added a pearl inside and ended up really liking how it looked. So it is also included on my card. :) I added some yellow, white and pink pearls. I got an ice cream charm from JoAnn's and thought it would go well with this sweet treat card! Hope you like my card and come join us in this fun challenge!
