Hip Hippo Ray

Good morning! Wow! What a busy weekend! We had graduations and Mother's Day activities all weekend! :) I should have scheduled this post because this morning I can't seem to find the words to type. My brain is still asleep I think! :) We have a fabulous challenge for you this week at Incy Wincy Designs! We want to see
Animal Antics!
 
We would love to see animal themed creations this week. We had an amazing sponsor this week give us some images from her shop. I am using Hip Hippo Ray from Care 2 Stamp! I have ordered from Kim before and let me tell you, she is a sweetheart! I used my copics to color this cute hippo. I used a corner punch I received at Christmas from a swap I was in. 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! :)
 


 
So let's get busy and make some fun animal cards! :)
 
We are sponsored by:

Roxi

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today I'm so excited to show you a card I made for being chosen as Lexi's Creations special guest spot! I got to choose one of their awesome images. I chose the super cool Roxi. She just looked like so much fun to create with!  So this week we want to see
Black and White and one more color!
 
I colored Roxi with my copics. I painted a bottle cap and then sandpapered it. I printed the sentiment from Word and sealed it with a clear circular sticker thingy. :) I added I Am Roses flowers, pearls from Michael's, and a recycled buckle that I added liquid pearls too. I distressed the edges and added some white ribbon. I hope you enjoy my card and jump into all the fun at Lexi's Creations!

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!

Hi-Ya

Happy Thursday everyone! Today is Digital Delights New Release! We have all been playing around with and creating this week with Wendy's really cool new images! Today is also a new challenge at Delightful Challenges! This week we would like you to add Ribbon. :) For my card I used Karate Kevin with the sentiment from the Keeping in Touch Sentiment set. I colored Kevin with my copics, cut the shape behind him with my cricut, embossed the white background, and printed the sentiment on woodgrain paper. I added a ying yang charm that I got from JoAnn's and, of course, some black ribbon! :) I hope you enjoy the card and can't wait to see your creations this week!
