Punched Bear Valentine

I made this bear for one of my workshops, with very little stamping, AND for my husband lol! I've already made my valentine gift, yeah! I made a second bear, changed colours and voila a baby box. I found this bear on the Paper Punch Addition site but do you think I could find it again, noooo! I looked forever and never found it again. Its fast and easy but I certainly can't lay claim to creating it, just changing the colour and putting it on a mini pizza box. Too cute!
I've entered this into Lexi's Creations which is to use bears, Critter Sketch which is to use an animal, Cards for Men, Secret Craft Saturday Challenge, Crazy 4 Challenges, and Stampin' for the weekend, all which are a valentine/love, Moving Along with the Times which is to use red.

Sweet Mouse

This adorable mouse was made entirely with Stampin Up punches and a plain transparency sheet. I didn't design him I got the idea from this blog Paper Punch Addiction.

Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge at Digital Tuesday today! The challenge is to use anything that you wouldn't normally use in crafting, like something from the kitchen or outside) I am using 50lb fishing line that I normally use when I make my bracelets and Robin gave me one of his fishing hooks. I just finished this cigar box and Robin brought home another one, sweet! Note to self: take a photo of my project before I spray with fixative! It was really hard taking a photo because of the shine from the spray even though I use matte.

These Ants from Doodle Pantry are such a scream! There are ants with balloons, lemons, books and ants surfing on water from the hose, lol. Its starting to get colder here, its suppose to be only 1C in the morning by the end of the week, so I thought it was time to play with these guys, they are so cute. I've entered this card into two challenges the first is Cards for Men, using the theme transport. The challenge doesn't say how you are transported so sliding down a hill in a leaf is definitely being transported. The second challenge is Kaboodle Doodles which is a photo inspiration. I've taken the colours of blue, white and yellow from the photo to colour my card.

Baked Alaska

I absolutely adore this guy, the whole stamp set by Gina K is right up my alley! I love humour and this set is perfect. This card is for a friend's birthday this month as well as three challenges.
The first is a color challenge from colourQ to use night of navy, tangerine tango, tempting turquoise, soft suede and white. I used soft suede the least, brads, cake and tie, but I did use it. The second challenge was a sketch challenge from CPS card sketches. The only thing I changed was the position of the brads, they are not evenly spaced, they're just a little off. I thought it would match the card because it was just a little off! The third challenge is from Cards for men to make a man's card with humour. The outside says "You know you're old when...(inside says) Your birthday cake looks like baked Alaska! Is that not just too funny!
Stamps: Gina K Designs, Stampin Up Weathered
Paper: Night of navy, tangerine tango, tempting turquoise
Ink: craft night of navy, classic tangerine tango, tempting turquoise, soft suede
