I got dotty!

Products Used: The image is a digi called Flopsy from Crafty Sentiments Digital Designs, the Sentiment is a digi from Create with TLC, Paper comes from Pressed Petals Dogs and Cats collection and Mocha collection, the bow is from a girl's pack by Recollections, the button paper clip is also by Recollections, I colored Flopsy with a set of colored pencils and made the green sparkle crystal swirl with acetate and puffy paint. The edges are inked with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Broken china and Antique linen. The edges were frayed used my x-acto blade.

I took a close up of the swirls since the above picture doesn't show the sparkles very well. You can also see all the glitter in the dots on the stitched paper.

I really liked the way this card turned out. I followed a sketch for the overall design though I changed around some elements. I also was only allowed to use two embellies for a challenge going on over at Crafty Sentiment Digital Design's blog. How TOUGH!

This card is entered in the following challenges:
Party Time Tuesday - Anything goes (SIMPLE!)
Sketch and Stash - Jill's sketch + new item (my new item is the paper - just picked it up yesterday!! Wahoo)
Fab and Funky - buttons and bows (button on the paper clip and bow on Flopsy's ear)
Simon Says Stamp! - Dotty (on my new paper)
Crafty Sentiment Digital Designs - 2 embellies (plus entered twice if use one of their stamps - yay for adorable Flopsy)
Paper Play Challenges - Anything (Well that's easy - plus you can enter twice with two different creations!)

Hope you enjoyed!! Now I have another birthday card for my birthday tab!! Yay!! It's really filling up :)

First Christmas card done!

I'm a little rushed posting this tonight as I have a VERY early morning and a LONG day of moving furniture :)

This card was inspired by a card I LOVED on Bev's blog - I love everything she does, and I just HAD to give this card a shot... jump over and look at her blog HERE. I changed the style up a little to accommodate for what I had in my stash.

I will be entering this into the Totally Papercrafts challenge this week which was a recipe: 1 image, 1 ribbon, 2 papers, 3 embellies :)

**SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!**
Craft Your Days Away - an AMAZING blog - is having a blog candy!!
They have three prizes for three lucky winners - go check them out :)

I'm in a COLORFUL mood today, which explains all the colored font hehee :) I followed a sketch from the Creative Card Crew blog... oooo it was a good one!


And here is my take on it!

Products Used: Papers are from the Bella Bella collection by Carina Gardner, Sentiment is a sticker from a swatch of sentiments by Marcella by K, The image is a digi called "At the moon" which I don't remember who from :( , The butterflies and flowers are from the EcoModern collection by K & Company, and I finished the look with mounting squares.

There are SO many fun challenges this week!! I can't believe how many I am excited to create for!!
I made this card to b a "miss you" card, who knows who will be the lucky person to receive it, but I know there will be a TON of people to miss once August comes and I make my way 6 hours south of "home".

I didn't have any ribbon that I felt went perfect with this card, so I made my own! I even cut the cute little "holes" into it to make it look like a belt buckle! I added the stitching to give it a more "ribbon" look.

Here's a close up:
Challenges Entered:
1. Crafty Sentiment Digital Designs - Color scheme: Brown, Green, Yellow
2. Cupcake Craft - "cats and dogs"
3. Creative Card Crew - sketch
4. Stamp and Create - "Stitching" (one entry per week till Aug. 2nd)
