Puppy Joy!

Happy Sunday!  Today on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we would love to see your favorite hair colour combination.  Whatever your preferred medium, we would like you to tell us what you used.  For my card I used copic markers and began with a base of E50, which I later darkened to E53.  I then layered E55, E57, and E59 to make a brunette baby boy.  This week's sponsor is Karen's Doodles and I used Christmas Puppy to make a baby card for a friend's upcoming birth:

I followed this week's layout at Sketch Saturday and used paper from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy collection.

I really like how the card came together!  Hopefully my friend will too!

Happy Apple Harvest!

Happy Sunday!  This week on Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog we want you to dig into your stash!  And for that torture, one lucky winner will win their choice of three digital images from Karen's Doodles.  Having the past honour of being a member of Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog DT, I can honestly say I LOVE her images!  So with a vast collection already, I still had to peek at her latest creations, and fell in love with this beauty, Apple Harvest:

For this challenge, I pulled out three items from my stash - these gorgeous papers from last year, a border punch from my ex-sister-in-law (so that's gotta be six or seven years ago), and a leaf punch that dates back to the start of my scrapbooking days - over twelve years ago!

Apple Harvest will be entered into the following challenges:
Simon Says Challenge - It's Autumn
Color Throw Down - Riding Hood Red, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive
A Spoon Full of Sugar - Spots and Stripes
Sketch Saturday - Sketch

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing what you dig out for your stash!

Happy Birthday, Partner!

Hello Monday!  This week Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog is focusing on birthdays and other celebrations.  My four year old niece loves ponies so I decided to take this opportunity to create a special birthday card for her upcoming summer birthday.  The image is Pony Love by Karen's Doodles. 

I followed the layout at Sketch Saturday and created lots of dimension by using foam squares.

The digital sentiments on the front are from Pink Cat Studio and I typed up a birthday message in Word to place on the inside.  I left a large writing area for my six year-old son and three year-old daughter to sign their names or make a picture for their cousin as they choose.

Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog with your birthday or celebration card!  Thank you for looking!

Pretty Princess Framed

Hello Monday!  This week Karen's Doodles US Challenge blog is participating in a joint challenge with all the Karen's Doodles challenge blogs - Netherlands, Scandanavian, and United Kingdom.  Design Team members from all four blogs will be showcasing 'Anything BUT a Card'.

In early April I began planning this week's creation after seeing Karen's gorgeous Butterfly Boy.  Papers picked, wooden box purchased, image printed...and then...  All my plans flew out the window when I saw one of Karen's latest releases - Pretty Princess.  Not only did I feel an overwhelming urge to have her and colour her - but I knew she needed to be framed for my three-year old princess' room! 

Our fabulous DT leader Sandy gently cautioned me about undertaking such a project last minute but I really never gave a thought to how long it would take to colour an image which would fit in an 8 x 10 frame.  I'm going to guess that Sandy has once attempted such a project because now all I can say is 'what was I thinking?!'  If you do decide to take the plunge, here are two tips: (1) start at the top and (2) keep a clean sheet of cardstock under your hand as you colour to protect coloured and non-coloured areas from the oils in your skin.

What I love about this project is that it is a beautiful piece created with love for my daughter's room.  You never know with cards, where they end up once they are given away.  This project also emphasizes one of the great things about digital stamps - you can resize the image to fit your needs!  I print large colouring sheets for my little princess and smaller images for my son who is six years old.  Depending on my needs, the size I print changes too.  So, without any further jibbering, here is Pretty Princess:

I used mod podge to adhere the paper from Bo Bunny's Gift of Love line to the front of the Ikea frame.  The frame was larger than the 12 inch paper, so the top edge is hidden with ribbon.  I attached three Wild Orchid flowers to the frame but otherwise kept it fairly simple due to household allergies.  I might attack the tall, purple flowers with lavendar flowersoft later and potentially add a few stickles or Dazzling Diamonds to her wand and flower centers.  Right now, I am just in awe of this beautiful image that I coloured taking a spot in my little girl's room on a shelf - a reminder of how much Mommy loves her!

She was coloured with copic markers and I remembered to take their picture:

Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog with your 'Anything BUT a Card' Creation!  Thank you for looking!

Mom I Love You THIS Much!

As a mother of two cute little monsters, this week's challenge at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog makes me mushy - Mothers.  The image that I am using however brings me to my knees sobbing.  When my son was little I always, and I stress the ALWAYS, read him the story 'Guess How Much I Love You' by Sam Mcbratney.  When I saw this little boy who is aptly named I Love You THIS Much, I was sunk. 

This card was a labour of love for myself (from my son of course!) using three different papers from the My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary line: Little Boy Blue 'Curious', Jack & Jill 'How Sweet It Is', and Jack & Jill - 'Favorite Thing'.  My six year old will be decorating the inside with a story and a picture which I will treasure for years to come!  My three year old daughter is convinced that the card is from her - so expect to see a pink version of the exact same image - including the dinosaur on the overalls!  The matched set will be a fabulous keepsake for Mother's Day.

So Happy to Have You follows the layout of the current sketch at Friday Sketchers.  Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog in celebration of Mom. I look forward to seeing what YOU create!

Oh-A-Blog-Hopping We Will Go!

Oh my it is finally here!  A month ago my poor dear friend Christine really struggled to get me to calm down as I excitedly told her my idea about this blog hop.  I had just finished a sponsor recruiting blitz and was exhuberent over all the upcoming sponsors.  Well, today is THE day.  You should have arrived here from the Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog.  If not, head back there to read what all the fuss is about! 

I have two cards from upcoming sponsors to share with you today.  First up is from the amazingly talented Karen and the image is called Maggie and Me - Then:

Maggie and Me - Then will be entered into the following challenges:
Simon Says Challenge - Things With Wings
Crazy 4 Challenges - Case one of the DT

Secondly, is a wonderful new image just released this past week:

Mother's Day card will be entered into the sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday and cases the colour combination by Frances Byrne at Crazy 4 Challenges.  She will also be entered into the challenges at Copic Creations (black hair), Secret Saturday Crafter (distressing - edges inked except sentiment), and Charisma Cardz (quote me - "my angel mother" partial quote from Abraham Lincoln - full quote of "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother" is on the inside).

One lucky participant/follower who leaves me some "love" will win Bonnie from Spesch Designer Stamps.

Blog Hop closes April 30th and one random commentor will be chosed by Random.org on May 1st.

Your next stop on the hop is Shanna.  Thank you for hopping with us!

Do You Need a Pair of Helping Hands?

Well, this sunny Monday morning Teddy sure does!  This angelic nurse is yet another fabulous image from Karen's Doodles.  She is aptly named "Little Helping Hands".  This week Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog challenges you to use 2 patterned papers, 1 ribbon, 3 brads or gems, and border.  

Surprisingly I had this card originally put together Saturday, however due to my dissatisfaction I had to bring it with us to Calgary.  Well it turns out that apparently I wasn't finished with it!  She wanted stitching and a sentiment on a cute tag.  So, here she is after those minor changes: 

Are you amazed at the changes?  I was so excited afterwards that I had to take another photo - angled this time - to really show all the dimension.

This card was created following the sketch designed by Nikki this week at A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge Blog and used the copics in the current challenge at Copic Colour Challenge:

The hair for the angelic nurse in "Little Helping Hands" is coloured with a base of Y23, followed with YR21 and YR12.  Her dress incorporates the blue and the E47 was used to accent the lines of the wood on the bed.

Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog with your creation incorporating 2 patterned papers, 1 ribbon, 3 brads and /or gems, ands a border.  I look forward to seeing what YOU create! 

Herbert Takes the Cake...

...to the party of course!  Hello Monday - Let's Celebrate!  This week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog, I am excited to take credit for the sketch. 

Yep, lucky me, I got to design.  To celebrate, I used Herbert Birthday Set and created a card for my daughter's friend...then I forgot to take her to the party, but hey, that's another story!

And planning to gift the card immediately, I actually completed the inside:

Making the Grade with Apple Girl

Hello Monday!  I really hope that you had a fabulous weekend!  This week's challenge at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog will have most everyone humming the wedding march.  Haven't we all heard the saying "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"?  Yep.  Determined not to create a wedding or anniversary card, I focused on the individual pieces of the puzzle and once again, it all fell into place!

Something old - in the scrapbooking/cardmaking world, I'm going with the thought that paper I purchased five years ago is "old" - happily, cardstock doesn't really go "out of style"; also I recycled an old floral decoration that I had tucked away in the kids' craft box and created the apple stem

Something new - Crystal Effects and new Co-ordinations cardstock - love the raised alphabet on the black which reminds me of a blackboard in school

Something borrowed - let's see, where do I start?  I created this gem at my friend's house and had to borrow...her scissors, die cut machine, sand paper, cutter, and ATG glue gun - I packed light knowing that while our hubbies thought it was simply Easter dinner together, she and I would find a way to craft!

Something blue - cardstock, bows, stripes in the patterned paper and glittery apple

The image I wanted to showcase using the Crystal Effects is Apple Girl with her delicious, mouth-watering, shiny, bright red apple!

A second photo demonstrates the glossiness of the apple caused by using Crystal Effects.

The paper is from DCWV however I will caution you that I altered the order of the rows to get the effect I was looking for so it won't match exactly what is available in store.  The blue glitter apple and green leaf was cut out from one of the patterned papers.  I used a stem from an old floral decoration to create the stem of the apple.

Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog with your own interpretation of "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue".  I look forward to seeing what you create!

Apple Girl will be entered into the challenges at Friday Sketchers (oh I love that sketch!) and Simon Says Challenge (distressing).

Thank you for looking!

I would like to say "Thank You" to all of the fabulous blog hop participants.  An amazing 63 comments!  Using Random.org Min: 1 Max: 63 Winner is 39 - my5bratz!  Congratulations Ginny!  I will forward your information to Sandy who will send you Daisy Bunny from Karen's Doodles.

Going My Way?

This week's challenge at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog is Fancy Folds - anything except a simple card folded in half!  I decided to create a gate card with the current sketch at Sketch Saturday and Karen's adorable Cruisin' couple:

It took me a couple weeks and several scrapbook stores to find just the right paper for this image.  I wanted the card to be just right as a belated anniversary card for my darling hubby.  He likes to joke that he had to marry me when I didn't complain after the last couple hours of our May long weekend motorbike ride was completed in a downpour at highway speeds.  We were forced to call for assistance and leave the bike an hour south of the city with a friend as another friend came and drove us home.  As Spring returns, hubby once again begins to scour for sale ads for his next bike. 

Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog with your multi-fold creation! 

My belated anniversary card will be entered into the challenges at Sketch Saturday and Cute Card Thursday.

Basket of Bunnies - DT

With all the snow on the ground melting, it is easy to get into the mood for this week's theme of Easter/Spring at Karen's Doodles United States Challenge Blog.  I am excited to share with you this BRAND NEW Karen's Doodles image, Basket of Bunnies!  Lucky me, Karen decided to share it with her design team first.  I had actually coloured a different image for this challenge but when I saw these adorable bunnies, I couldn't resist!

Aren't they ADORABLE!!!  I just love their big eyes and cute ears.  I used this gorgeous "Christmas" paper (that still brings a smile to my face!) from Magenta once again.  I love the deep colours and tried to use them on the flowers but I think I'll stick to softer flowers next time.  The inside has the same basic layout.

Copic details for all the enthusiasts: Basket E31/33/35, Bow R81/83/85, Bunny ears E01/E02/C0/C1, Puppy C5/C7/R21/B24, Kitty E30/E31/E02/YG06, Flowers R59/R21/YR12/G99, Grass YG03/G21/G24, Background B000/91

Paper Sundaes Ninth Challenge

Another Happy Sunday!  I definately had a wonderful mail week with rubber arriving from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps (whose new release is out TODAY!), Magnolia-licious (amazing shipping considering that I ordered last Saturday and had them Thursday!), and Paper Jewels (Sweet Peas are now in stock!).  Wow!  So with all that new rubber, I decided to colour...a digital image.

This week's challenge at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is a combination of a theme and a technique.  They want you to create a multi-fold card with an Easter or Spring theme.  I chose to do a tri-fold card based on the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.  The image is the absolutely adorable A Present for Mom which is perfect for Easter, Spring, Mother's Day or just 'cause I love you Mom days!

Using the Stampin' Up butterfly die I cut out a writing space from white cardstock.  Folded up the card will fit in a standard A2 envelope.

Karen's Doodles US Challenge - DT

Good morning!  Today I am going to start the week off on a positive note by encouraging everyone to play along with the first ever Karen's Doodles US Challenge.  This first challenge is a sketch challenge:

I decided to create two Mother's Day cards with this sketch.  For my mother I chose the Pretty Unicorn image from Karen's Doodles:

This image comes with several individual flowers which can also be printed to embellish your card.  I chose to play with one of my newer purchases from Wild Orchids and to embellish the corner with Basic Grey bling rhinestones.

On the inside I typed a message for my Mom:

The second card is for my darling hubby's mother who loves the colour red.  I've chosen Karen's Just for You image for my mother-in-law:

My mother-in-law likes things plain and simple, so that is what I've done on the inside.  No sentiment and lots of room for my hubby to write a note to his mom: 

Please check out the amazing creations by the rest of the design team at Karen's Doodles United States Challenge Blog here.

Pretty Unicorn will be entered into the challenges at Simon Says Challenge (mother's day/girl), Creative Card Crew (celebrations), Charisma Cardz (fairies - paper), and Basic Grey (photo inspiration).

Tinkerbell Inspired Flutter By Wednesday

Another joyous Wednesday!  This week the challenge at Flutter by Wednesday is photo inspiration:

My daughter adores Tinkerbell and her bedroom is all decked out with Tinkerbell border, bedding, and accessories.  As such, it really shouldn't be shocking to learn that I have Tinkerbell scrapbboking supplies already on hand.  Given that my daughter loves purple, my card pulled the purples from the inspiration photo and used licensed paper.

This adorable image is Fairy Fun from Karen's Doodles.  The licensed paper was continued to the inside.

 

The digital sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps.  This card will be entered into the challenge at One Stitch at a Time (sketch) and Simon Says Challenge (Mother's Day/girly).

Please check out the beautiful creations by the other Flutter By Wednesday design team members at the FBW blog.

Karen's Doodles picks Me!

Amazingly when I ventured downstairs to my craft/computer room yesterday afternoon to finish this card, I noticed an unbelievable e-mail sitting in my junk box.  It seems surreal to announce that I have been chosen for the Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog design team!  Karen's designs are so cute and fantastic that I often sit with my daughter and we colour them together for hours.  It is because of this special "together" time that I chose to cut the designer series paper specifically to focus on the word "together" in the pattern.  I then used two-way glue and dazzling diamonds to really make the word POP.  The image itself is called Princess Pony and my little princess dictated that the pony had to have pink hair!

The image was coloured with copic markers and her dress was covered with dazzling diamonds.  The word together on the inside sentiment was also highlighted with dazzling diamonds.

This sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps and is currently my favorite so expect to see it often!  It's great for family, friends, and significant others. 

Once I discovered that I would be posting such incredible news today, I had to create a second card to celebrate.  The young boy I watch part-time is also one of my son's friends so my son asked me to make him a get well card after he took ill last week and was unable to visit us. 

This adorable image is A Friend in Need.  Bigsby is a good friend nursing poor Herbert back to health in Bigsby's tiny bed.  Herbert and Bigsby are going to be entered into this week's challenges at Cupcake Craft Challenge, Copic Creations, and The Pink Elephant.

Thank you for looking and celebrating my announcement!  Watch for Karen's Doodles first US challenge posted here on March 8th.

Sassy Cheryl's and Karen's Doodles

As much as I love playing with rubber, I have stumbled across two digital image companies that have me stuffing my on-line shopping cart full!  Karen's Doodles are wide-eyed cherub children and animals such as the Fairy Princess.  Sassy Cheryl's are fresh and exciting with images such as Easter Bunny Snowman.

The paper Blissful Bunny is from the Spring collection by Dear Lizzy and American Crafts, and was used on the inside of the card as well.  This card will be entered into the stitching challenge at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge.

Another of Cheryl's sassy images is Land Swimmer.  I used Versamark pen and Glassy Enamel on the rain drops, puddle, and her mask to add sheen.  With textured Bazzill cardstock, stitching, ribbon, pop dots, and glassy enamel, this card qualifies for the texture challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges and the ribbon challenge at Cute Card Thursday.

The sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps and the umbrella stamped on the inside is from Stampin' Up!

I was on a Sassy Cheryl creating spree, so I have one more to share.  This one was coloured with Koh-I-Noor and Lyra coloured pencils and blended with odorless thinner.

The image is called Gentle Friends and will be entered into the challenge at Cupcake Crafts.  The inside was also distressed but left blank to allow for adding a sentiment later.

There is one day left (today!) to enter the challenge at Paper Sundaes for your chance to win two Bildmalarna stamps from Paper Jewels.
