Bethany Baker by LeAnn's World Birthday Card

 Hello and happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card for the latest challenge at Corrosive Challenge Blog: Anything Goes.

A birthday card for my wonderful cousin who is a fabulous baker.  This cutie is Bethany by LeAnn's World.  She is popped up on some pretty DP and I'm leaving this sentiment free on the front.

Please join in on the anything goes challenge that lasts all month long.  Thank you for taking a look!

This meets the following challenges: A Perfect Time to Craft: Anything Goes, Crafts Galore Encore: Anything Goes, Creative Inspirations: Anything Goes, and Digi Choosday: Anything Goes.

Sulky Rebel Polkadoodles Birthday Card

 Hello and happy Tuesday.  I'm here today to share a card for a special someone in my life.

The attitude on this girl is so perfect!  I created the background with ranger inks and attempted the acrylic splatter - again.  This time I think it worked out ok.  This cutie is Sulky Attitude Rebel from Polkadoodles.  They have great sales and I picked up a few of these a while back.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Whole Llama Love and the numbers are die cuts.

That's my share for today.  Thank you for taking a look!

This card meets the following challenges: Digi Choosday: Anything Goes, Polkadoodles: Anything Goes, Unicorn Challenge: No Designer Paper, and Die Cut Divas: Birthday (numbers and background).

  

Simon Says Daisies Birthday and Thanks Cards

Hello and happy Thursday!  Already nearing the end of June and wow, time flies.  I say that over and over because it's so true.

Today I would like to share a couple cards made using Simon Says Stamps Sunflowers and Daisies kit.  I got this quite a while back and again, determined to use my "new" stuff this year, I put these together:

I swiped the embossing folder with Ranger inks and I REALLY like the effect.

The bees are from Stampin Up Nature Walk and the sentiments are from past SU Paper Pumpkin kits.  The bees are heat embossed, so a bit of additional texture there as well.  Simple to make but I think they are appealing to the eye.

That's it from me for today.  I thank you very much for taking a look!

This meets the following challenges: Addicted to Stamps: Birthday,  The Crafty Addicts: Anything Goes, Digi Tuesday: Anything Goes, and Use Your Stuff: Flowers.

Tori the Dragon Birthday Card

 Hello and happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card for the Corrosive Challenge Blog: Anything Goes.

I'm featuring a card using Tori the Dragon by Conie Fong Art.  I thought this little creature was super cute!

The challenge goes through the end of the month so you still have time to enter!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

From the Heart Cupcake Flowers Catch a Bug cards

Hello.  Today I'm  back with more cards featuring From the Heart Stamps (also known as Designed 2 Delight).

On each of these, I was able to use up the extras from Stampin' Up paper pumpkin kits - again, using what I've got.  So on these cards, I have doilies, sequins, die cuts, and sentiment stamps from SU.

I'm also rediscovering all my designer papers.  I love handmade backgrounds, but there is so much gorgeous paper out there and I have a closet full!

I watched a tutorial on how to shade the jar using Copics - I think I did ok.

So that's it for today.  I've been enjoying looking through all my digi stamps and using my stash.  I feel like it's a challenge and an adventure!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

My cards meet the following challenges:  Crafting Happiness: Anything Goes with Optional Flowers, Cupcake Inspirations: Mother's Day, A Gem of a Challenge: Anything Goes, and Creative Inspiration: Anything Goes.

 

Bugaboo Pup and Elephant fun

 Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's warming up nicely where I'm at and everything is in bloom (read: I've got major allergies going on!).

Anyway, today I would like to share a couple of cards using Bugaboo images (no longer in business):

I have some older cards that I'm not overly fond of, but the backgrounds are good and I didn't want to just toss them.  So I'm making "new" cards using the backgrounds.

I really do wonder sometimes "what the heck was I thinking??" when looking at some of my creations.  But I do like these two better than the originals.  Again, both feature a Bugaboo image - I just love Bugaboo and miss them dearly.

Thank you for taking a look and have a great week!

These meet the following challenges:  Jan's Digi Stamps: Anything Goes,  Use Your Suff: Layers, We Love Stamping: Anything Goes w/option of Animal, and A Gem of a Challenges: Anything Goes.

Kiss Me Bullfrog and From the Heart Stamps

 Hello and happy Friday!  Another week down and hopefully a relaxing weekend to come.

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards featuring From the Heart Stamps (aka Designed 2 Delight).  The artist is no longer with us, but I always loved her talent and recently printed a few of her images that I haven't yet used.

This one features Bullfrogs and Butterflies.  I was unsure of the direction of this but in the end, I think it worked out ok.  Ever have an idea that just goes off the rails?  Well, this is that card.

I also made a card for my Mom - a just because I love her type of card.  She really is my biggest fan.  Anyway, the butterfly is from a FTH set, as an extra to the main image.  I used up a few extras from past Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kits - again, trying to use what I've got.  I'm also going through a few paper packs that have been stored for years in an effort to renew my creativity.

That's all from me for now.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

This meets the following challenges: Creative Fingers: Anything Goes, Alphabet Challenge: XOXO, Crafty Animals: Anything with a Critter, and Die Cut Divas: Anything with a Die Cut (both cards).
