Happy Halloween!

Hi there! I have another card to share today...it's cute and fun and that's what we need right now on a rainy Monday here! I used this adorable witch who is obviously on her way to a party! She is called Spooky Birthday from Tiddly Inks and you can get her here! Their challenge ending today is to use Diamond Glaze or Crackle and as you can see from my inset pic, I went for the glossy on both the cake and the gift bag!

I colored her with copics and I have to say I am still not a fan of coloring black on images, but I am learning! I couldn't wait to use this funky plaid Halloween ribbon! This paper is just too cute with all the candy and goodies! Of course I had to add a sparkly crow and a little star charm to bling it up a bit...oh and there's yellow Stickles on her hat too! The sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe' Halloween This and That Set! A few colored pearls and tada!

It's Your Birthday...Happy Birthday!

Hi there - it's my day off, but I've been so busy...making treats for a cheerleading bake sale, making locker decorations for the high school soccer team and making this card to share with you!

This card gave me a chance to play along at some of the challenges I have missed in the last few weeks. I'm lovin' this little freebie image called Bo from Tiddly Inks. Their challenge this week is to use one of their animal stamps. I colored him with my copics and then I paired it up with some great papers from my stash and paper-pieced the balloons to match! These little sentiment stamps are a couple of my faves from The Cat's Pajamas You Say It's Your Birthday set.

I used the Mojo Monday sketch, which is a miracle I got that one done in time, and I incorporated the Moxie Fab World Offset Scalloped Challenge in this one...it's not too much since it's a Boy or Man's Birthday card! My color inspiration was from Picture Perfect Creations and the plaid, stitching and stars satisfy some of the other challenges!

The Challenges:
Tiddly Inks #21 - Our Pets
Mojo Monday - Sketch #156
Picture Perfect Creations #30 - Blue, Green, Brown
The Creative Cottage #23 - Boy Birthday
Moxie Fab World - Offset Scallop Gallop
TCP Tuesday #126 - Mad for Plaid
Copic Oz #2 - Card for a Man
Stampin Royalty #37 - Stitching Madness

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned early next week for some very exciting news and some blog candy!

...thank you...

I back with another card for you... I love making thank you cards! This one is one of my faves...I love pink peonies (I just wish the blooms lasted longer in my garden!) and this digi image from Fred, She Said is so pretty. I also have one of just the bloom, but I haven't colored that one yet!

This card was inspired by a new challenge over at Copic Oz - the first challenge is to use your copics to color flowers! Well, I have plenty of flowers, so easy peesy right! I'm also playing at Picture Perfect Creations and using the Card Patterns sketch 75 for this one!

I started by coloring it with my copics and then had to decide on the papers. Well, I found this awesome K & Co. paper at M's that is already stitched and layered up with yummy dps. I couldn't resist!!! So, I can't take credit for any of this paper stitching but I will take credit for matching it up with my colored image! I really thought about a pink ruffly flower on this one, but I settled on the blue because I didn't want to compete with my peony. I wanted it to pop!

Challenges:
Copic Oz #1 - Flowers!
Card Patterns 75 - sketch
Picture Perfect Creations 24 - color combo
