Just a Birthday Card

This was a fun card to make, I'm entering it into the SAS4Kids challenge.  I'll be changing the happy birthday sentiment after just re reading the guidelines for sending my cards.

The little girl & gift box are from Bugaboo, I stamped the box with a little flower from my stash, butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch and the circles are from Spellbinders, puff paint & a few gems are the icing with a little glitter.

Lets Go Shopping

When I saw this digital image at A Day For Daisies I just couldn't resist that sweet little look on her face, not to mention the hat. The theme this week at  CAGI Challenge is:  Let's Go Shopping, well it is obvious this little charmer must like hats since she is wearing such a pretty one.  Of course we had to add more to her collection.



Suplies used:  The back ground shop is from a collection in my stash, the hat cube is called the Hat Cube, the sentiment is for Ann-ticipations, all colored with Copics onto a stepper card, couple of gems, some glossy accents with a couple of  dragon flies punched out.

I hope you'll come join in the challenge to have some fun and you may even win a prize.

Butterflies or Dragonflies

 

 

I hope everyone made it safely through the storms that have been going on out there.  Here in BC we're just grey, soggy & windy, nothing compared to what the east is facing with the ice & snow.

This week the challenge at CAGI is Butterflies or Dragonflies.  I chose this cute digital image from the many at Fitztown in their Crafts selection, they are the sponsor for this week's challenge at CAGI.  I hope you'll join us in this week's challenge, the design team members have some very creative examples to inspire you and stop by their blogs for even more inspiration from these talented ladies.

LS - Rory with Love Letters

 

I completed this card yesterday & she is so fun to play with, she is one of the new Lacy Sunshine digital stamps.  I'm entering her in the challenge over at  Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog.

It's amazing I got her finished at all as I first layered the background on the card upside down, no big deal I would just gently cut around the white, layer it to another card, now I have the opening on the proper side but I had wanted the darker color on top.  At this point I just went with the flow thinking this is how it should be.







Supplies used:  Colored with copics, Martha Stewart punch for the butterflies, die cut from MFT, some Glossy Accents, glitter & gems.

LSC #24 Willow
