Paper Makeup Challenge

This is for one of the new release challenges at Paper Makeup. The challenge was to use the colors soft blue, black, white and gray (optional). I knew the minute I saw the challenge that Jack Fairy would be the perfect stamp to use for it!

Cool Cat

This stamp is from Pink Cat Studios and it makes me giggle every time I see it. I recently got it from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design -BEST SERVICE EVER!!!- and have been playing with it. I just love the BLING I get with my Spica pens (also available from Susana!). They are easy to use and work GREAT!

BIG FUN & blog candy

Victoria Case is releasing an exclusive line of stamps to Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. There are nine stamps begin released on May 15. In the meantime, the store blog is having a giveaway of the ENTIRE set! WOW!! This is HUGE!!! Head on over to the blog for a chance to win.
There is ANOTHER chance to win on Victoria's blog as well! WOW!!!

Thanks Susana and Victoria!!!!

Lily in Purple

I had so much fun with the Enchanted Lily in blues that I wanted to do another in purple! I used some of the paper a friend in Japan sent me in addition to the new Smooch. She certainly is a fun image to play with!

Enchanted Lily

This is Lily from Pink Cat Studios. I have had my eye on her for some time :). I made this card for a challenge on PCP with Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. It is a sketch and monochromatic challenge.

Dare you to Digi Stamp - challenge 6

The week the challenge is stitching and gingham. I was originally a bit stumped because I do not have any gingham paper. I know, I know, as someone who has been scrapbooking for over 11 years I should have some in my stash. That said, I don't. It then dawned on my that I DO have lots of gingham ribbon! So here we are. The image is by BeccaKay and I think she is just as sweet as can be.

The other challenge this week was to actually mail out the created card and to send to a child sponsored by Post Pals in the UK. This is a FABULOUS thing and I am very excited to learn about the organization. What a wonderful thing-I would encourage ALL of you to check it out and send a card if possible.

I am sending this one to Samara M. She says she likes glitter and sparkles (so do I Samara!) so hopefully she will enjoy the card!

I WON!!

I WON, I WON, I WON!!! Doing the happy dance at my house!!
I won the BLOG hop challenge from Paper Makeup Stamps. What does this mean? This means I get the entire May Release! YES!!! How rockin' is that?
Check out the store BLOG for some wonderful samples from the DT and spotlight designers. There is some amazing talent and they are working with FABULOUS images!!!

Comfort at the loss of a Father

This is being sent to a friend of a friend. I am very, very honored to have assembled this. It is being sent as comfort due to the loss of her Father. The timing was close to the time of year my own Father died and I can imagine her pain. I want her to know that others do care and want her to feel some comfort at this time and always.

BLOG CANDY- Victoria Case

Victoria Case - the designer of the images from my last 2 posts- is giving away some amazing blog candy. Check it out and check out her stamps while you are there too ;).

Dare you to digi challenge #5

This week's challenge at Dare you to Digi Stamp is a sketch. Here is my take on the sketch using a Victoria Case image.
This was a really fun one to color! I could not resist adding the freckles, LOL!

DU2DS challenge

The challenge on Dare You 2 Digi Stamp this week is Things With Wings. What is more fitting than a Fairy? IMHO- nothing :).
I have two cards to share. They are both done with a new release digi stamp from Victoria Case. I just love her. I like the blue hair the best, but kind of messed up the wings I think. I love the way the wings turned out though on the turquoise and orange one :)

More cards with images from Dustin

Dustin Pike is have a design team call going on. Anyone who is interested should check out the details on his BLOG!
Here are 2 more cards I have been working on the last couple of days that feature some of Dustin's designs. I just love how much fun they are to work with!!

Lots of Love

I will be mailing out this comfort afghan this week. I am honored to have assembled it and hope it brings the recipient many feelings of love and comfort.

Dare you to digi stamp

This is the next Friday challenge from the Dare you to digi stamp BLOG. This image is from Sketching Stamper. These is an amazing variety of images there, but I love the anime looking ones sooooooooooo much!!!
Anyway, the challenge was to use pink and green. I decided the background paper here was just screaming to be used for this one and ran with it. Enjoy!

Challenge from the Digi Shack

The Digi Shack is having their Grand Opening and have issued a challenge with a free image. This is what I have created with the image and the sketch.

Birthday Lauren Fairy

This is the first card I have created with this image and I love it! It is just a fun image and the card ended up so bright and cheerful. I got the frazzles in a birthday bag some time ago and have wanted to use them ever since. I am so glad to finally have the opportunity.

Cards anyone

I am evidently in a card creating mood. At least I am making something, even if I am not getting scrapbook pages done :)
A few more fairy cards done with stamps from Susana's Custom Art & Card Design.

Thanks Chameleon!

The Dare you to digi stamp Friday Challenge this time is all about BLING! This image is another from Dustin Pike and the saying is the brain child of my good friend "Bob". How perfect is it?!?!?
The little guy took a couple of tries. Initially I used green and yellow glitter after coloring. My boys and I all agreed "it looked better before". For this one I used an iridescent glitter after coloring and it is MUCH more to my liking!

In Honor of Jason Hicks

This is being sent to the Mother of Air Force Staff Sgt. Jason Hicks (25) in his honor for the sacrifice he made. I hope it brings her a tiny bit of peace.

Digi Stamp Challenge

There is a digi stamp creation challenge going on here. I decided to combine my Dustin Pike digi stamp, my desire to make some Thank You cards for Make A Wish (I am sure there are other chapters that need cards as well, this is just what I KNOW about!) and this challenge all in one. These two cards are the result.
