A Sweetheart Just for You!

I hope you are enjoying your Tuesday!
I know the SCACD ladies are....it's Try It Out Tuesday and it's always fun to see what challenge Suzanne will have for us!

This week the TIOT challenge over on Susana's Custom Art & Card Design store blog, Follow Your Heart is a sketch with a twist...make a birthday card!


I have used my little Emilia from the Anki's Sweetheart Series 2! Isn't she lovely?! She is colored with Prismas, cut and popped. Her basket and flowers are popped a second time. I enjoyed using the blues and greens on this one, the DP is MME-everyday tango! The sentiment, "Just for you" is CG.
Susana has a 25% off special on the newest Series 2 Anki's Sweethearts set! How cool is that?!

While you're over on the store blog, Follow Your Heart, you might notice some CANDY up for grabs.......yep, I told ya some big fun was coming with the new release of the Exclusive line of Elisabeth Bell stamps!!!! And this is just the start!

Dog-gone Birthdays!

Welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge day! yay! Today the lovely Shelly has issued the challenge..."Easy as 1,2,3!"
1 digi image, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments!

Our wonderful sponsor this week is The Character Cafe'. They will be giving away 3 images of the winner's choice.

This sweet little pooch was a freebie from Crystal over at The Rustic Daisy a while back! Crystal is a lovely new artist for Squigglefly, you can see her other images HERE! The pawprint paper is a current FREEbie from Squigglefly! Well I glitz and glittered, watercolored, cut and popped this little fellow and just had some fun! That's what this hobby is all about, right? Those spots at the top are bright red gems! lol

The sentiments were CG. "Another Year.." and the inside says..."If it makes you feel any better, in dog years you'd be dead. Happy Birthday, for what it's worth!"

A Squigglefly Recipe...

Happy Monday!
Are you ready to cook? Here are the ingredients you'll need for the Squigglefly Challenge this week; one (1) oval, one (1) square, some glitter and a ribbon! Easy peasy, right? Well, this really made me think, lol, but that's a good thing!

I'm not quite sure why I used this particular DP, then I had to use the passion pink...which is my least favorite among the SU! pinks, because it matched the DP! I do, however, like my SF butterfly fairy! I Pearl-EXed her wings so they sparkle and shimmer. I popped a leaf and added some swirls to add a little interest! And if that passion pink cs wasn't enough, I used passion pink pastels to shade around the oval...holy bolonga! I'll dedicate this one to my all my friends.....who love pinky-pink things! So there's my oval, a square, turned on it's side and some sparkle & ribbon! Mission accomplished! I hope you have a chance to play along with the Squiggleflies! Need some inspiration, checkout the rest of the team's creations...

Emma says Thank You!

This is my very favorite digi girl, Emma from Fred, She Said! Isn't she lovely?! I always enjoy coloring her dress, but this time I went for the paper piecing with some DP from K&co, what do think?

I had so much fun making this card...summertime is so busy with other things that it was nice to sit and create! Our garden is overflowing nicely with sugar peas, and many beans. I just love pulling an onion or some potatoes out when I'm preparing a meal for my family! Aren't I just sooo Martha Stewart like! lol

Ok, I found a few challenges for this card, so here we go...
Unscripted Sketckes~ sketch.
Simon Says~ paper piecing.

Ok, this is my favorite cupcake apart from the edible kind! It's from The Cutting Cafe's All About Cupcakes set! I so enjoyed icing this one in flavors of dk brown prisma and E37 sepia copic, it's so lush IRL! The sentiment is also part of this 49 image digital set! Wowzer!! The digi paper is from Ellie Lash!
Well, this card came about as our lovely hostess Paula chose the theme-sweet birthdays-this week for our Digital Tuesday Challenge! Oh, I do hope you can play along!!!

Rubber meets digital Scrapbooking!

And now for something completely different!

This week at the Try It Out Tuesday challenge over at the SCACD store blog, Follow Your Heart, lead DT, Suzanne challenged us to make a scrapbook page! Talk about comfort zones....eek! The only scrapbooking I've done in the last 2+years is digital! Or quick pages, digitally created and printed out. You then flop your picture on, slap it in the book and tah dah your done! I know, I know, all my scrapper friends have a cringe on their faces. Sorry!
So, with this challenge, I thought I would combine the two worlds and use my little Sweetheart-Felicia on this beachy page! This Freebie QP (quick page) is from Les Scraps de Cesspav and Felicia is colored with Prismas! Now I know there are some fabulous scrapping gals out there, I hope you play along with the TIOT challenge this week and show me how it's done!!!! lol I would love to see what you can do, so I'll be checking the Follow Your Heart blog to be inspired by you! You can check out the blog to see all the fantastic creations from the rest of the DT! Have a lovely day! Blessings!

Simply Squigglefly!

Here's a simple single layer card or even a NO LAYER card! Pretty easy peasy but effective! The #9 Squigglefly Challenge is up and calls for a no layer card with one embellishment!
I used this rose image from the Tribal Flourish Set from Squigglefly!
After printing the rose (1 of 9 images), I cut an oval shape from some cs and used the negative to create a stencil/mask. I masked the rose also and used pastels to color inside the oval. Then use Prisma markers to color the rose. Stamp a sentiment, tie a ribbon and tah dah. A lovely thank you card!

This was a great challenge for a Monday, especially a Monday after a festive weekend. I'm still recovering from fun, friends, food and fireworks! Hope everyone had a good weekend also! Only two other challenges for this one, My Time to Craft~no patterned papers and Creative Inspiration~masking! Yea, I know, I'll do better tomorrow! lol
Oh, there's one more thing...
