It's a sketchy challenge at Clear it out!

Head on over to the Clear it out challenge blog for our first ever sketch challenge!

Here is a card I made using an adorable bunny 'Happy Spring' 

Isn't he just the cutest? I coloured him with my copics and used up some SU papers I've had since 2007-ish. The yellow paper is embossed using an SU folder and I also added Stickles to the center of the flowers for bling. I added the flower and twine to finish it off  :)

Thanks for popping in, I hope you'll join our challenge!

MelJen's challenge

Look at me doing 3 posts in one day!

My littlest one is at home with me this week. I've had lots of crafty time as she is making herself a Hello Kitty scrapbook.  I just love the look of joy she has when she feels her masterpiece is done (although she has 10 more pages to go!)

Needless to say while she has been crafting away, so have I.

Over at the MelJen's challenge blog the theme is buttons

I had some leftover papers on my desk so I decided to play along. Here is what I made

I took the picture on an angle so you could see it popped up. The flower was popped up and I added a button to the middle. 

I added twine and a button and followed the digi twine/button on the image. I think that gave it a cool 3d look. To finish it off I added some twine to the side.

This little mouse was so fun to play with!

MelJen's is also looking for some Guest designers, so if you have the time this summer you should  apply :) Sadly, I can't commit to much since I will be away but I'm hoping to throw my name in the hat come September

Thanks for stopping in!

It's in the garden challenge

Its challenge time at the Digi Sketch Challenge blog!

The theme is in the garden and the challenge will run until July 20th. The sponsor is

The image I chose to play with had several images both coloured and non-coloured. You can find it here

The card is C.A.S and shows off the image really well I think. I chose to use the theme AND the sketch.

For some reason we have tons of ants this year. Thankfully our dog dislikes them as much as us and gets rid of them for us. She's pretty impressive, she also jumps in the air and takes out wasps-lol.

Thanks for stopping in, I'm looking forward to seeing your creations :)

Melonheadz Challenge time

It's time for another fabulous challenge at Melonheadz Friends! 

This week the theme is 'Bookmarks' and as always, if you use a Melonheadz image your theme is anything goes.

I chose to use the Monthly Bookmark Bundle and I LOVE it! It has all the months, cute designs and a must have if you are a teacher. 

I think it's a fab way to inspire a child to read. For this bookmark I used the pre-coloured image and added a flower and sentiment. On the back I have added the words 'My summer reading list' with some lines. With my daughter we have selected 25 books for her to read. Check it out

My daughter is a fantastic reader and is above her grade level. I don't think 25 books in 9 weeks will be too hard for her. Either way she gets little rewards along the way :)

The challenge runs for 2 weeks and the prize is one of Nikki's (Melonheadz) bundles from her Etsy shop

Thanks so much for stopping by, I look forward to seeing your creations!

It's a birthday celebration....

at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge blog! Eleanor and pickles are turning 2 and it's an anything goes theme.

Here is a card I made using one of Heather's flower pot pretties.

I coloured her up with my copic markers and used up some ugly paper for the background. I tried a different colour pallet than usual but I think it worked out all right. I added Stickles to the center of each flower for some bling.

I'd also like to enter this into the following challenges;
Fan-Tastic Tuesday
WordArt Wednesday

Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate it :)

It's Penny time!

Head on over to Penny's challenges and join us in the current challenge ' buttons, bows or butterflies'.

Our sponsor this week is 

    Kenny K

Here is my card:

Sorry it's a bit dark. I had to relocate my picture box as we are converting my craft room into a room for my oldest son. Yes, I am so, so, so sad :(  Now, I'll have to find another space to escape too! Lol.

I coloured up the image with Copic Markers and used the background paper as a colour palette. I then popped up the images with dimensionals. Buttons and bows finished the card off.

The challenge at Penny's runs for one week and the winner gets 5 images!

Thanks for popping in :)

It's time to Clear it out!

Hello  :)
I am posting one day late, seems like I am forgetting tons this week!

The Clear it out challenge went live yesterday with the 'in the garden theme' . Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps

Here is my card

AND, I have some awesome news. Bugaboo is having their annual July sale which means 50% all month! Woot,Woot!

The image was placed in sequence and I added the sentiment below in Word. I coloured them up with my copic markers and added a ribbon/flower/pearl to finish it off. I've had those flowers forever so I am glad I can use them up.

Thanks for stopping in :)
