Butterfly Wishes

Hello everyone! November is halfway over already, which means it's time for another ABC Challenge. We're on to B for Butterfly and this challenge is sponsored by Bunny Zoe's!

I apologize right now for my pictures... I made this card for our little neighbor girl's birthday. She's Bailey's age and they are buddies. The first thing I hear when we pull in the garage at night is usually "I wanna see Aswyn" (that's how Bailey says Ashlyn, lol) I had to hurry up and take a quick picture of the card so Bailey and Caleb could take the gift over!

The butterfly is an Ippity stamp. I added Stickles and Spica glitter pen to the dots for a little bling and the sentiment is from AmyR stamps. The patterned paper is from Echo Park... hey I remembered the paper pack for once!

I hope you have a chance to play along. Check out the other DT creations over at ABC Challenges and link your card for the chance to win! Thanks for looking!

Angel of Appreciation

 Hello! I hope you had a great Halloween, I know my kids had fun, and I'm happily confiscating candy : ) Now that we've said goodbye to October it's time for another ABC Challenge. We're back at the beginning with A for Appreciation. We're sponsored again by the super cute Stamp Fairy.

I started with a sweet Stamp Fairy angel that I colored with my Copics. I thought she'd be perfect for a Christmas thank you card. The paper and pearls are from last years Christmas card kit from Taylored Expressions- I'm blanking on the name of the paper right now, I'll have to get back to you on that... The ribbon is from a past KI kit.



Thanks for looking. Don't forget to check out the rest of the design team creations and the challenge blog, I hope you have a chance to play along!

Z for Zoo!

Hello again! I'm back today with the latest ABC Challenge- Z for Zoo. This challenge is sponsored by the Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. Join us for a chance to win a great prize, and don't forget the DT call!

My card is for one of my son's good friends birthday and uses one of my older CTMH stamps. I colored the cute giraffe with Prismacolor pencils- haven't done that in awhile (and it shows, lol)! The paper is from BoBunny and the sentiment is from Amuse stamps. A CTMH button and misc twine finish the card off. The sketch is Deconstructed Sketch #72. I used a MFT die-namic for both the flag panel and the sentiment, I am seriously loving this thing!

Making Memories

Hello! For as slow as this past work week seemed to drag, the weekend sure is fastly disappearing! I hope everyone's weekend is going well anyways. I did have some time in my craft room yesterday and made a card with this little cutie from My Favorite Things.

The layout is the sketch for the October guest designer challenge for MFT- details and sketch are here. Wouldn't that be an awesome honor! I'm really glad I found this challenge last month, so far both sketches have been a lot of fun to play with! I used the PI Picture Perfect stamp and sentiment. I colored her with my Copics and then cut her out. It took me longer to cut her out than it did to put together the entire card, but I think it was definately worth it! The My Mind's Eye paper, wooden heart button, pearls and ribbon are all from September's KI kit. The card base is MFT Hot Fudge cardstock.

This card is also my submission for the Simon Says Stamp challenge: dies or punches. I've used both on my card. The sentiment is stamped onto a flag cut with my MFT Sentiment Strips die, I just cut off one of the ends because of where I had originally placed it on the card... The border is one of my all time most used border punches from Friskars.

Thanks for looking! I'll be back tomorrow with the next ABC Challenge. Don't forget about our DT call!



Penguin in a Box

Hello! This weekend I was able finally get everything moved back into my craft room after the "flood" It took me awhile because I really went through everything and organized. I'm glad I took the time though, it's really nice to have things I use frequently in reach, who'd have thought??  : ) I was able to get some stamping done once I finished organizing and thought I'd play along with some of my favorite challenges that I haven't joined for awhile.

The challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ is to use an image that includes a box. I found this Bugaboo image I had previously printed out and thought this would be a great time to get started on my Christmas cards! This card came together really quickly thanks to a great sketch at Sweet Sunday Sketch. The paper is Mistletoe from CTMH and the sentiment is from a Taylored Expressions set. I stamped it on a flag strip from my new MFT dies that I couldn't seem to put down! Just some misc pearls to finish it off.

 

This sweet penguin is also my entry for the Catch the Bug's October Anything Goes challenge.

I also want to mention we are having a DT call over at ABC Challenges, all the details are here. It's a very fun group with some of the sweetest ladies! Come and join us!

As always, thanks for looking!
