Jacy's Birthday

Good morning! Last Friday was another friend challenge day and the challenge was to use scrap paper, elements and ribbon from old stash AND use a new image. Nailed it on all four counts and this is the card I came up with a birthday card for my niece.

Good morning! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Fab 'n Funky and their challenge is to make a set. So I made a card, decorated a gift bag and made a tag using Doodle Pantry's Viola Ants.

I got this gorgeous deep rich purple bag at the dollar store and decorated the front and back.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! A new year and gorgeous new images from Doodle Pantry like these two cute Love Worms. They come in colour with paper but I chose to colour them myself. Its hard to see the background but I stamped it with hearts, in deep red and then promptly put two thumb prints on either side of my image... that's why there is a large bow on the left and three butterflies on the right. UGH!

The new DPDC challenge begins at noon eastern and just for entering you receive the cutest Cupid Turtle  and here's the free with purchase image, it goes great with a martini!

There's a "nap" for that

What a great morning it is today. I have 9 more days husband free where I get to create, not cook supper and basically have fun since Robin's gone fishing, Awesome! He also took the camera I usually use for my photos so I tried my mom's. WELL its awesome, lol! The picture is crisp and clear and I LOVE it.

I made this card for my uncle who's turning 83 today.  Since its such a large image I made it very simple with the sentiment computer generated. The inside says Live, Love, Laugh Happy Birthday. I should have a double layout of 12 x 12 scrapbook pages tomorrow.

Flowers

Its cloudy and will probably rain here today, hope its sunny where you are. I finally got to use my postage stamp punch from Stampin Up, and I love it! This flower is one of the free digis from CDAC Progressive challenges which I printed off 6 times, coloured three and cut them out to pop up.

I added glitter to the centre and the ribbon has a glitter to it also.

Flowers For You

This is 1 of 5 free digital stamps from CDACPC#13 (Crafters Digital Art Centre Progressive Challenge) To receive more free stamps all you have to do is to create at least one project with one of the stamps.  I printed the stamp twice and cut out the flowers and popped them up and added stickles for glitter. 

You can see how dimensional the flowers are here.

I used the sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I find using a sketch so much easier when creating a card.

Have a Mice Day

Today starts a new challenge over at Operation Write Home and Doodle Pantry is sponsoring them! This was actually my second card that I did for the challenge because just before I sent in my first card I noticed that I had "spiced" it up a little. I added glitter which is a no-no so I raced back into my craft room and created another card!

This little critter is Doodle Pantry's Quirky Mouse and he is too cute. Since I was in a hurry its very simple because it had to be fast, lol! Hop on over to Operation Write Home and enter their challenge AND if you used a Doodle Pantry image (get freebies here) you can enter it into Doodle Pantry's Digital Challenge #20 too!

Happy Birthday to You

My son needed a birthday card for a friend so I decided to make a singing birthday card, lol!

I cropped the two little guys and put them on the inside to finishing singing their song.

And then all of the critters on the back to end the song! Happy Birthday Dayna.
