Dots and spots

Good morning everyone! Today I am back with another card for the Mo Manning DP challenge and this time our lovely and sweet Mau is our hostess and would like to "spots or dots" on our cards.

I LOVE polka dots, I have polka dot pants, even polka dot shoes, peep toe to boot!

I have made this card for a friend who recently lost one of her dogs. She is such a good friend and Sweet Pea was lucky to have her as a mom. I just wanted her to know I was thinking of her. My image is called A friend is...and I thought it would be a nice image for her card. Papers are Beautiful Life by Echo Park and the flowers I made myself with my fabulous phlox dies by Memory Box. Tracy was my inspiration for this card, she makes such lovely flowers and great layouts. The sorry tags are MS punches I inked with a little Paris Dusk Memento ink.

Okay, show us your spots and for every 25 entries Mo is giving away a $5 voucher to the store. Good luck!

And here is my take on it using one of the images from Sending all my love. 

Papers are Echo Park "Love Story" and the little ticket was in a package of Valentine themed embellishments from Alyce. I have added some glitter to the hearts she is blowing and die cut a couple of hearts out of some of the papers in the pack.

Lots of layers!

Happy Thursday my crafty friends! Although the past couple of months have had some very low moments for me I am happy to say my life is on an upswing. Why do you ask? Well, one secret I have to keep for a little bit longer but also, I am going to England to see my BFF! Whoop whoop! I have been planning this for almost a year now and it will be here before we know it. So nice to have something to look forward too this time of year.

Okay, so I suppose you are here to see my card for Mo's DP challenge huh? Well our super talented Franz (adore her work!) has asked us to use "lots of layers" this time. Easy for me, I usually have several, it is all the other embellishments I struggle with.

This is Rory, is she not the cutest thing you have seen in a long time? I love these bright colors too, I just can't seem to work with pastels very well. The hearts in the corner are chipboard that I covered with scor tape, sprinkled with glitter then covered with glossy accents. Papers are an older MME pad, and yes, I finally broke down and bought some new pads. I couldn't resist the new bright floral prints I saw! The sentiment is by Whimsy.

Okay, lets see all of your layers and for every 25 entries Mo is giving away a $5 voucher to the store. And please try to leave the dt some love, we so enjoy hearing from you and also seeing what you have made. One big happy crafty family right?

I am sorry I don't have my copics list, I must have tossed it while I was cleaning up.

I have used a little bit of green pencil to highlight around the image, hmmm, guess I should have added some shading to the bottom of the tires too, it looks like she is driving thru the air!

I have used the Princess with a frog on my card today. I had to kiss several frogs to get my prince I tell ya!

Not super pleased with my pleats on this image but practice makes perfect right? I have again used a Christmas gift which is the green ribbon in the corner from the Ribbon Girl store (thanks Elaine!), it is a gorgeous deep lime green.

Something new!

Good morning everyone! Today is another challenge for us over at Mo's Digital Challenge blog and our hostess today is the lovely Anja, I love her cards, always so pretty! She would like us to use "Something New" for our card this week and I chose to use of the newly released images, this is Missing Tooth and I just loved her grin!

Papers are MME and I will list my copics below. There are some stickles on her skirt (darn photo never captures them) and I have paper pierced the edge of my card. I want to get some of the nesties that do the paper piercing but since I am on a "crafty spending halt" I chose to do it by hand and I am pretty pleased with it. Flowers are available at I am Roses and the lace was another Christmas gift (thanks Melanie).

Okay, your turn to show us your beautiful creations and for every 25 entries Mo will give away a $5 voucher to the store. Woohoo!

Lots of flowers!

Hi everyone! It's time for another challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil challenge and the hostess this week is the amazing...ME! Bwahahaha! And I have an easy challenge for you, I want to see flowers on your project this week. I LOVE flowers and use them frequently along with flowered paper on almost every card I make. And with the freezing cold we have had this week, some flowers seem like a great idea.

This little cutie is Baby Fairy Bee and I have paired her with my fav color combo, black red and yellow. I have used  Riverbank Revels paper by Helz Cuppleditch, some lace from my friend Melanie, a La La Land fence die and my flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts.

Okay, hope you get a chance to play along with us this week and please make sure you check out all the girls blogs and leave a nice comment, we always appreciate it!

Wonderful Wednesdays start again!

Welcome to our first Wonderful Wednesday challenge for the year!! And as always....it's ANYTHING GOES!!

Your submission must use at least one Kraftin Kimmie Stamp but can be any theme, any style, any design and it can be a card, a scrapbook page, an altered item....you name it!! It must be a NEW creation (so you can't submit something you made last year...haha!), we'll have it up for TWO whole weeks (over the new release which is next week) and you can enter on this post until Tuesday, January 21st!! What do you think.....wanna WIN??...

I have used one of my favorite Cheryl Alger images, this is from her Somebunny loves you set and I just love this image. 

Papers are old Crate Paper I believe, I can't find where I set the rest of the pad and I will list my copics at the end if you would like to see them. When I colored the bunny I pounced my colorless blender all over him to add some texture. And since I have quite a few freckles myself, I gave Lexi some too!

**Please note that you are more than welcome to combine this Share to Win challenge with other challenges, BUT not our regular weekly challenges. This must be a new and different creation than anything you create for our Saturday challenges.
