Summer Fun with Little Miss Muffet

Hello and Happy Saturday Everyone!  I hope all is well with you and yours and you've been having a great time crafting and creating.  Today is a short post sharing a swap card I created using a Little Miss Muffet digital stamp I've had in my stash.  She's ready for Summer with her Popsicle, Bathing Suit and Float.

The papers are from the Echo Park Good Day Sunshine 6x6 paper pad, I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and added some Yellow Gemstones to complete the card.

She turned out pretty and cute, I hope my swap partner will like my card.  I'm ready for some Pool time but have to wait for the thunderstorms and lightening to pass...it's been an everyday occurrence this week.

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges - Hetty Clare

Hi, I'm back with another challenge for today.  This time, it's a new one at Penny's Challenges and the sponsors for this week are Hetty Clare and The Paper Shelter.

For my design team project, I've used this sweet image from Hetty Clare named Summer Picnic.  It's so adorable, I just love the ducks!

I kept this 5" square card fairly simple, only adding some Wink of Stella for sparkle.  I mounted the focal image straight to the card base.  Just a lovely Spring/Summer image.

Please join us at Penny's this week, we would love to have you.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Cardz 4 Galz - Flora and/or Fauna

Hello everyone, I hope your day a blessing to you.  Today begins a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.  The theme this round is Flora and/or Fauna.  I chose Floral to create my design team project.

I used a busy floral background and placed a die cut on top.  Added some ribbon and a dimensional floral element from a Dollar Tree package of stickers.  For the final touch, I scattered sequins for some bling.  

After looking at this A2 card for a bit, I felt the background overtook all the other elements in my design.  I feel I should have used a larger dimensional sticker for the focal image.  

Please join us at Cardz 4 Galz this challenge.  We would love to have you.  Also, please visit the new challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges; the theme for March is Anything But a Card with a Twist:  Use the color Green.  You have until March 31st to enter your creation for a chance to win a fun photopolymer stamp set!

Hello, I hope you're doing well and Spring is beginning to show it's beautiful face in your area.  Today starts a new challenge at Crafty Calendar Challenges and the theme for this month is For a Child.

For my design team project, I created a little note card that is a standard A2 size, using the sweet image A Special Flower from our generous sponsor A Day for Daisies.

I adore the digital images from A Day for Daisies; they are easy to color.  The face on this little girl is adorable and I enjoyed coloring with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  Although it's hard to tell in the photo, I did add Wink of Stella to the flowers and the butterflies, which are not part of the original image.  I added the butterflies as a design element.

It's the first Saturday of the month and that means a new challenge at Crafty Calendar.  The sponsors for this month are Crafty Ribbons and Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.   There is a theme this month also:  Use Texture and Add a Ribbon.

For my design team project, I had the pleasure of using Dr. Digi's Chuck the Cherub digital image.  This Cherub is so funny, I don't understand why he's carrying a flashlight..possibly he's lost his bow and arrows?
