Singing In The Rain

This card couldn't have come at a better time!  It has been raining here in Boise Idaho the last couple of days.

This fortnight over at Incy Wincy Designs the challenge theme is "Hand Writing".  We are being sponsored by one of my favorites, Rick St. Dennis.  I used two of his images for this card, Euro girl Susan, and Bootsie.

Thanks for looking!

With Love

This fortnight over at Incy Wincy Designs Challenges it is a picture theme using this picture:

We have two sponsors Little Blue Button Stamps AND A Day For Daisies.  I used an image from Little Blue Button Stamps called Hawaii Flower.  I cut it out using an oval die and matted it with a scalloped oval die.  I created my own DP using colored pencils.  The image was colored using colored pencils.

Thanks for looking!

 thepapershelter = 3 digi stamps

Unfortunately I didn't know about the sponsors until after I'd made my card.  Since I've been moving, my craft room still isn't done, I wasn't able to make anything using one of their images.

The image I made for the theme "Birthday Card" was made using an image from Cute As A Button called Rose Garden.  I added "real" flowers to her hair, I added a rose charm, a sticker sentiment, three gems, some cheese cloth and some burlap.  I used Glossy Accents over her hair.

Singing in the rain

This fortnight at Crafting With Dragonflies the challenge theme is 'Twisted Easel Card'.  I chose to play with an image from The Paper Shelter called The Sun's In My Heart.  I tried a couple of new techniques on this one, for instance, the floating butterfly and her hanging above the edge when it is 'twisted'.  For the butterfly I used one of the 'stems' from the flowers and glued it on there.  I added a lot of nice flowers, some cheese cloth and some fun bling that I removed from an old phone case I used to have.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.

I don't know that I have used this die very many times.  Since the challenge this fortnight at Crafting With Dragonflies was "Dies and/or Punches", I decided I needed to play with it!  I also used a butterfly punch and some butterfly 'scraps' from a border punch (I think I use the scraps more than the border).  I added some gems and drew some "stitching" around the entire thing.

Hap-Bee Birthday

This fortnight over at Incy Wincy Design Challgenges the theme is "Nature and All Of It's Beauty".  There are two sponsors, Sasayaki Glitter and Kit And Clowder.  I used an image from Sasayaki glitter, being a busy busy honey bee (my call sign/email) I had to use the cute bee looking image called "The Fairy Digital Stamp".  I added glittery paper, went with blacks and yellows and added some fun string pearl.  For some reason I love to use string pearls around my image when I do bees and other flying insects...
