I had so much fun coloring this image. As I colored it I thought of the the sentiment that I added. I created it with my PC and used the brush accent stamp that comes with this set to add that last finishing touch. The Background DP reminded me of painted brush strokes and ended up being so perfect for this image.

This image is SO FUN! How cute is her hair.  It's so wild and free looking. When I first saw this image I was instantly in love with this little cutie. I wanted to do something really 'wild' and fun for her so I picked the bright orange and Pinks. I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch for the layout.. 

I love the pink and orange combo and I hope you guys love it too.

TCP166 - Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I'm excited about today's post. I got to play along with The Cat's Pajamas this week - wooohooo.  It's been a while since I did a random challange and I'm so glad I made time to fit in this challenge.

This weeks inspiration for TCP 166 is the following:

Yummy - cupcakes, frosting, pinks, browns, yellows, candles, balloons, polka dolts.  There are so many choices here!  Here is the card I came up with...

Super fun. I used my A Beary Good Year stamp set for my card. This set just plains rocks.  You can make so many cards with this. With a lil bit of masking you can make PJ hold anything in his hand. 

This card was made for anyone turning 2!

I also used two TCP Cut Ups - Icing and the mini Pennants.

Thanks for visiting and hope you all have a great weekend!! 

YNSC46 - Button Up! - Your Next Stamp Challenge

Today we have a fun challenge up at Your Next Stamp - BUTTON UP! Buttons are so much fun to play with so we would love for you to join us for our challenge this week. 

Here is the card I created...

I used Fhiona's Pet Bird. This stamp is so versatile and you can really get creative with it.  I also added my buttons of course lol :) 

I used a Skittles that is a Your Next Stamp exclusive item. I love these things. They take dew drops to a whole new level with sparkle! I have been using them on most of my projects lately - they add the perfect extra special touch.

Here is the Prize for the Challenge winner

Lisa Basketball Bear - Epppp!! Too Cute. Head on over to the Challenge Blog and check it out and don't miss your chance to give this adorbale bear a new home. Make sure to bring your buttons :)

The stamp I ueed is Picnic Ellie who is just adorbale in her cute lil bikini! The background paper I stamped with a Daisy flower stamp from YNS and colored them in with my Copics. I added Yellow Skittles for a little extra sparkle. 

I added a sentiment from my stash that I felt was just perfect for this  (Please note this is not an YNS sentiment)

Make sure you enter this week we have a fabulous prize. So please don't miss out on the fun.

Thank you for visiting today!

SFC101 - Squigglefly Challenge Playing Favorites.

Today's challenge over at the Squigglefly Challenge Blog is 'Playing Favorites'. Use your Favorite Squigglefly Image, and have some fun! The image I used is def one of my favorites but really more a favorite artist - Cheryl Alger.  I absolutely ADORE her images and this one being no exception with HAPPY FOURTH, which I used on my card for today's challenge.

Before we get to the card I have some Sad News BUT some Good News as well. 

Lets get the Sad News outta the way.  Unfortunately today will be my last day as a DT Member for Squigglefly :( My Term is over and after a very hard decision I decided that I would not be able to continue on for another Term.  It was a difficult decision because I loved being part of this team, but with Summer upon us my availability is not what it was for the Fall and Winter. I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the lovely ladies at Squigglefly for the wonderful and fun experiences I had during my Term.

Now onto the good news before the waterworks start. We have wonderful new DT Members that will be starting today.  Please make sure you head on to the Squigglefly Blog and meet the new talented DT. You guys will be in for a great surprise at the talent that is signed up for the new DT Term.

Okay onto the card lol. 

(this image looks blurry when I posted it, but is clear in the preview - not sure what's going on lol. Sorry if it IS out of focus)

I adore This image. I used my new TCP die for the Easy Rosette and it sure was easy lol.

 

 

I added lost and lots of Stickles as always.

 

I have also been using a lot of Dew Drops as well.  I loved how they looked added to the Craft Paper.

 Remember, we have a great prize for this weeks Challenge winner so make sure you enter a card for a chance to win!

Thank you for the wonderful experience to everyone at Squigglefly - I will miss you guys!
