For My Little Man

It's a beautiful Thursday, and another awesome challenge over at Delightful Challenges! This weeks challenge is For the Boys! I have to admit that I worked on this card longer than any other. At first, I had a rectangular card and then ripped up all the layers and started over. I came across this design and had to try it. I don't have the die to cut it, so I cut it by hand. I made this card for my son. He will be starting baseball soon and my husband and I are pretty excited. Baseball/Softball was our favorite sport in school. It is so special to see your children try out new things and see if they enjoy them as much as you. I chose the cute image Casey the Baseball Pitcher and used the sentiment from the Grillin and Chillin Sentiments set. Thanks for stopping by and can't wait to see what you create!

For My Friend

Hi all! I'm super excited to show you this weeks new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs! It is Things that begin with F. That could be Friends, Fairies, Frogs......well, you get the point! LOL! For this card I colored with copics the sweet image For My Friend Framed from our wonderful sponsor this week Dilly Beans.  I used We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy stitch piercer, then stitched with dark brown fiber. The gears and letters I inked with caramel and gold alcohol inks. I dripped a drop of each color on each item and then blow dried it. It was hard to read the letters when I was done, so I sanded the top of them so they would pop out a bit! I used I Am Roses little orange flowers at the top peeking over. :)  Be sure to stop by and join in! Have a Blessed day!

Relax Barnaby

Hello everyone! It's Thursday, and time for another awesome challenge at Delightful Challenges! This week the challenge is Buttons, Bling, and Embellishment things! It's also Digital Delights New Release! I am using the super cute image Relax Barnaby along with the Relax sentiment from the Feel Better Sentiment set.  I cut the honeycomb, swirls, and flowers with my cricut and got the honeycomb button from JoAnn's. I shaped the flowers with my embossing tool, so they would curl up. I added stickles and glitter glue to all the flowers and put a little bling inside a couple of Barnaby's flowers! :) I hope you all have an amazing week! Be Blessed!

Here's the inside:

 



I used ribbon from Little Scrap Pieces. I really loved the way the ribbon crinkled, so I tried to leave it in its natural shape as I was sewing it. The little pink rose is also from Little Scrap Pieces and the large rose is from I Am Roses. The pearl spray is from JoAnn's and the bird cage is from Michaels. I got some Liquid Pearls from 7Kids College Fund. I used the color Bisque. Hope you enjoy the card as much as I enjoyed coloring and making it! Be Blessed!

Great News!

I have been asked to Guest Design at Incy Wincy Designs for the month of March! I'm so excited to be a part of their team for a month! This weeks challenge is a Sketch:

 

As always, please feel free to flip it or rotate it - as long as we can still see that it's our sketch, we'll be happy! Our fabby sponsor this week is Kim from Care2Stamp who is giving this week's lucky winner a $15 Gift Certificate to her store! Kim has also kindly provided the DT with some images to showcase. This image is a Whoopsi Daisy image.

 

And this is my take on the sketch:

I used my copics to color this super cute image. The flowers are I Am Roses and Recollections. I used vellum for the sentiment which I typed up in Word. The butterfly charm is from Michaels and I added some rhinestones down it to make it stand out a little more! Hope you enjoy the card and stop by Incy Wincy Designs to join in on the fun! Be Blessed!

We'll Miss You

Yesterday I made this for a special lady who works with my husband. She is moving closer to family, so today is her last day. I thought this little baker girl was perfect for her! I forgot to take a pic of the inside, but it said We'll Miss You Cindy Lou! I got this image from Etsy shop Stephaniecorfee called Bakery Girl. I colored her with copics and inked Spun Sugar around the edges. The flowers are Prima and the rest is from my stash. Oh, how I love stashes! :) Today I have to share my stash with the co-op kids. I hope I play nice. Hee Hee! Have a Blessed day!

You're Snow Sweet

Hi all! I don't know about you guys, but we have been slammed with snow the past week! The homeschool co-op was cancelled last Friday and the local schools have all been out for days. So.....what did that mean for me? I decided to make some cards, of course! :) I used the image Cocoa Wishes from Tiddly Inks with the sentiment from the Snow Sentiments Set from Digital Delights. I colored her and her cute little friend with copics. I chalked around them with blue chalk and around the sentiment I used yellow chalk. I hope you stay warm and have a great weekend!
