Sparkles Monthy!

  Hello! We are halfway through the month so that means a new challenge over at Sparkles Monthy Challenge. the challenge this time is Pastal Colours/Bunnies...See my card below...

Look at this sweet littlle bunny sitting in a field of wildflowers! This is a ne monthly set from Spellbinders and it is precious. I stamped, heat embossed in clear and lightly colored in the little scene. I then placed that on a sweet piece of Designer Print Paper from Craft Consortium in Retro Summer and this little card is almost done!

I added a few butterlfies and layered a fe extra wildflowers and added the sweet sentiment and now...the card is complete! 

I hope you get a chance to join in with us on this Springtime theme and see you will come up with...bye for now...

For Make My Monday #275

  Hello and welcome! Make My Monday has a new fun challenge! It's #275 Monotone/Single Color. Checkout how I used the challenge below...

Look at this fun bird/floral 5 part stencil from Spellbinders. I would normally used a variety of colors but, for this challenge, it was so fun gathering all the yellow/gold ink colors I had to color this in!

I used black for the details and that makes the yellows just pop! Checkout how the other DT ladies used the Monotone theme...so fun!

I hope you will join in with us, see you soon...

Sparkles Christmas for April!

   Hello & Happy April! It's time for a new challenge over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. The chosen theme this month is #183 Elves or Gnomes. See which I used below...

I chose the Gnome! I think he came out sweet  tucked around the pointsettias!

There is a little pink in the paper and I pulled that color out some and it added some softness to the card.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you get a chance to join in this fun challenge! See you in the gallery...

For Make My Monday Challenge

  Hello and welcome! This posting is for the new challenge over at Make My Monday Challenge. The theme this round is #274 Hobbies. See what Hobby I love below...

*****************************************

Drinking Coffee!! 🤣Why not???

I LOVE Coffee! I drink it everyday, multiple times a day so I think that would qualify as a hobby since a hobby is something we like to do or makes us happy!!!

My fun card reflects the humor of that and was also fun to put together...

I used a large background stamps with coffee beans and coffe cup stains. I color blended around the edges to add some shading. I die cut the coffee to go cup in fun papers and added and snarky sentiment.

I am looking forward to your entries to see what other hobbies you card makers like to do when not making beautful cards to send to our family and friends! 

Bye for now...

For Sparkles Monthly

  Hello and welcome! My card is for the new challenge over at Sparkles Monthly Challenge. The challenge this month is #198, It's Springtime!  

See my card below...

I used a silhoutte stamp set and used a colored ink instead of black or a dark ink and I love the results! I saw this done at an online card retreat and knew I wanted to remake it sometime and it's a fast make too. You can make this in multiple colors and make a lovely card set for a gift.

Thanks for stopping by. Remeber you have a month long to play along. Hope to see your Springtime card in the gallery!!

Bye for now...
