New Challenge at Paper A La Mode

Hello there.  Hope all is well this Monday morning.  I should have blogged this card on Saturday, but didn't get to it.

Saturday started our new challenge at Paper A La Mode.  Our challenge this week is "Must Use Glitter."
Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and they were nice enough to give our DT some images to play with.

I used the Make it Snappy Kidz-Mother's Day Girl image to create my card.  I think she's such a cute little girl. The flourish was given to me by a friend and I cut it into three pieces to be able to fit it on my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Have a truly blessed day!

First Post at a DT with Penny's Paper Crafty Challenges

Happy Hump Day!!!  I'm so happy to be back to crafting and blogging.  I have missed it terribly.  As you can tell from the title of this post, I am now on the Penny's Paper Crafting design team.  I'm so excited to be part of this great team.

Our challenge for this week is "Buttons and Bow". We have two great sponsors for this week:

I used Bugaboo to make my card for today.

Purple and Green have to be one of my favorite color combos to use with flowers.  I love this word block from Bugaboo.  There are quite a few of them in the store.  Stay tuned because I will be using a few more of them on upcoming cards.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I sure hope y'all will join us for this great challenge this week at Penny's.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Tuesday's Challenge at Clear It Out

Good Morning.  It's Tuesday and we ended up with about 3-4 inches of unexpected snow yesterday. We are watching another snow storm for tomorrow that could drop up to a foot of that white stuff.  Man, the downfall of living in the Northeast.

So, with it being Tuesday, we have a new challenge over at Clear It Out.  We have some a sponsors this week too,  Bugaboo.

The theme for this week's challenge: Karaoke

(Pick a song and design a card using that song as inspiration)

The stash item for this week: Brads

I picked the song, "The Unicorn" by the Irish Rovers.  To be perfectly honest, I had never heard the song before, but I love unicorns.  So, after picking my image, I Googled unicorn songs..yeah, I cheated. :)

Thanks so much for joining me today and I hope to see what y'all's favorite songs are this week.  Also, make sure to stay tuned as Clear It Out is having a blog hop at the end of the month.  Have a great day and God bless.

Saturday with Paper A La Mode

Hello there.  Today is Saturday...yippee..and this starts another new challenge over at Paper A La Mode.  Last week's challenge was sponsored by Rick St. Dennis.  Y'all know how much I love Rick's images.  The winner is going to receive 2 images of their choice from Rick's new zibbets store.

This week our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps.  Jodie has some wonderful designs over in her shop.  The winner of this week's challenge will receive 2 images of their choice.

Our theme for this week was chosen by Theresa, and it's Stars and Snowflakes.

Here's what I created:

The stamp set that I used is from Jenny Ellory and the papers are from DCWV Winter Basics 6x6 paper pad. Even though the card stock looks green it is actually turquoise.  I used the rosettes stamp to make the circles and added some light turquoise gems to the center. The bows are part of the stamp set and I just stamped them on the patterned paper and cut them out.  It's a very simple Christmas card, but I like it.

Thanks for stopping in today and I hope y'all enjoy your day.  God bless ya!

I am also going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Oldie but a Goodie--CAS Christmas
Papertake Weekly--Snow and Ice
Shopping Our Stash--Use Something on Your Desk--stamp set
Twisted Tuesday--Pop Dots and Polka Dots (sentiment pop dotted; polka dots in patterned paper and the circle background)
Hiding in My Craft Room--Die Cuts (Cuttlebug)

Bugaboo Card

Welcome to my blog.  I hope you are having a great Monday so far.  The card I have for you today uses items from my stash to complete this one as well as a Gus image from Bugagoo.  Isn't he just a riot?

I pulled DPs from my stash bin to make this card.  The image I colored with BIC markers just to give a pop of color.  I added some Glossy Accents to Gus' glasses but Kierstynne decided to look at it before it was dry and the Glossy Accents ran down Gus' face.  I tried to get it off, but it wouldn't come off.  Oh well, it just looks like he's crying now..  I left this one pretty plain and figured I could use it for a masculine card.  

Thanks for stopping in today.  Enjoy your Monday.  God bless y'all.
