It's Your Birthday

Hello all and Welcome to a special Designed2Delight DT occasion:

Happy Birthday Faith!

I have made this card just for you, using one of my favorite D2D images.

DP is Pink Armadillo, D2D image colored with Copics and Prismas, glaze, sewing, Stampin' Up sentiment. Super simple, somewhat CAS card.

I really wanted this adorable bear to be the main focus. Like all the glaze-y goodness?

So Faith, thanks for being so great to "work" with! Happy Birthday!!!

This card meets the following challenges:

• Splitcoaststampers - Sketch SC117
• Digi's With Attitude - #10 Anything Goes
• Miami Doodles - #16 Anything Goes

Winter Bear

Hello all. Quick share today. I meant to post this earlier this morning, but my eyes were dilated and boy did that give me a headache!

This weeks freebie over at Designed2Delight is this awesome little bear:

I saw another card using this image with the sentiment: Free To Be Me! I thought it was PERFECT! BTW, the free image was sent to those who participated in last weeks challenge, so you can pick this up at the Store. Play this week and you get the next image free.

I will enter this in the following challenges:

• Cupcake Craft Challenges - #121 Non-traditional Colors (that's been my theme this year anyway!)
• Card Patterns - sketch #94
• Crazy Challenges - Use at least 3 DP's
• Little Red Wagon - Die Cuts

Card details: Me & My Big Ideas and glitter matstack. D2D image colored with Prismacolors, fiskars punch, Cuttlebug snowflakes, nesties, Ranger's Lipstick ink, ribbon and sewing.

Poppi's Winter Wonderland

Hello and happy Saturday! Today begins the Winter Wonderland Challenge over at Bugaboo - so pull out your glitter, stickles, and other bling!

Yes, Poppi is one of my favorites. I colored them with Copics and PrismaPremiers, added lots of Studio G glitter glue (which you can't see AT ALL!), sewing, Cuttlebug snowflakes (also glittered up), DP is K&Co Wild Saffron AND an upcycled manila file folder! BTW, just about all paper products these days are acid free, and folders have excellent weight to them, so don't throw them out!

Layout is the current Splitcoaststampers SC310. These cards actually look really soft IRL and non-traditional colors yet again - which meets the Papertrey Paperdolls end of year challenge. I fished out a few leftover cards from last year and I think I'm ready to start posting my cards!

So join us at Bugaboo for a chance at free digistamps. You do not have to use a Bugaboo image to win - but I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to!

Crabby Cathy

Hello and happy Friday! I have made it to the end of the week!

On Fridays over at Bugaboo, a new freebie is up for grabs, and this weeks freebie is: Crabby Cathy!

Can you read the sentiment? It reads: Santa just called, you ain't getting s@#! Needless to say, this is going to my brother :) I used a rather CAS layout from Splitcoaststampers SC05, and Wild Asparagus DP. Sewing, gold heat embossed ornaments, and glaze. This also fits this weeks Color Dare (#88 Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Neutral).

So make sure to pick up your freebie and have a GREAT Friday!! As always, thank you for stopping by my blog!

Candycane Penguin

Hello all and hope you're having a great day! Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner?

I'm still catching up on MAKING Christmas cards, when I should be MAILING them out!

For these two cards, I'm using the Poppi Candycane Penguin from Bugaboo. I LOVE the penguins (you can get an adorable FREEBIE here). The DP is a digipaper freebie (I love giving credit where credit is due, but I can't remember where I got this great paper!). The rest is from my scrap pile!

I thought the ribbon was a nice touch since it matches the penguin but nothing else. LOL! Does it work? The layout is Card Patterns #93 and I'm also entering this in Digital Tuesdays Baby it's Cold Outside challenge #88.

*****NOT A CARD*****

We finally got the tree up!

Here's Bean putting on ornaments. The tree was getting a little "bottom heavy" so once she retired for the evening, I went back and evened things out a bit. And believe me, she won't take that hat off for months!

Sparkle Santa

Hello and welcome to New Release Tuesday over at Bugaboo!

I saw a blue and red card not too long ago that inspired this card (if I find it again, I will add the direct link). So my Santa is colored with Copics, added glaze and fuzzy stuff, sewing, Ranger Ink, and glitter CS for the snowflake (Cuttlebug).

You can see the rest of the new releases over at the Bugaboo shop! Layout is Splitcoaststampers SC309.

Also, the monthly digital stamp club is up for sale! $20.00 gets you 20 holiday-themed images here.

Birthday Bear

Hello all and hope everyone is having a great Wednesday. The weather isn't so cold today and the sun is shining!

Got a quick card to share with you today:

DP is something I found at Michael's on the clearance rack, covered some chipboard photo corners, added ribbon and sewing, nesties, $1 acrylic sentiment stamp.

Digistamp is Pollycraft colored with Copics and Prismapremiers, and added glaze. I think this would make a great guy's card.

Hope you all have a great day, keep warm, and make time for something fun!

This card meets the following challenges:

• Pollycraft - #72 Chipboard
• Party Time Tuesdays - #23 Anything Goes Birthday
• Papertake Weekly - #51 sketch (flipped)
