Hello - Catch the bug SSS #404

Sunday February 28, 2016

Welcome to a new sketch at Catch the bug SSS #404 

This is the sketch.. you can turn it (which is what I did) and then enter your card over at Catch the bug..

This is my card with the sketch turned and using the image Spring Boot  I wanted to stay within the sketch guidelines and felt it needed a sentiment so I just added the Hello button. I like how it came out. I am recovering from hand surgery so really had to keep this quite simple.

Happy Birthday - Inspiration Destination # 74

Wednesday February 24, 2016

Inspiration Destination # 74  - where it's ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

One of the sponsors this week is Bugaboo stamps

I am using the image called Girlz celebration... I love bugaboo images (I'm in their dt ;)   like you didn't know already..lol ...

I wanted to make this a birthday card because we are in the new year so it's time to stock up on those must have cards.. I used some scraps of paper I had laying around.. OH my its was tuff.. I went through my scrap box and got rid of small pieces and pieces I knew I just wouldn't use.. some greens I had my hubby punch out leaves for future use and some circles but I just threw the rest in the garbage and immediately dumped it in the burn barrel... So these were the lucky pieces I saved.  

I hope you play along and enter your card over at Inspiration Destination

Welcome to Inspiration Destination #74 where it's

ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES

This is my card using the image called Winter games 1.. She is playing ball with her darling dog.. I thought it would make a cute birthday card for that child getting a dog for their birthday.. Or just for a fun birthday no matter what. I had to use my fun variegated ribbon again. I have a big spool of it so there is plenty to go around and I just love the colors and it helps tie in with the colors I did on the image.

Happy blooming birthday - Guest Designer at Scrapping 4fun

Friday February 19, 2016

I am lucky to be picked to be a Guest Designer at Scrapping 4fun ...

Thank you so much for asking me..

This challenge is Birthday card, using a digi or stamp

This is the card I made for the birthday challenge.  I had this thick paper towel that I use to clean my brushes when I use my water colors and clean my work space of inks used in water color effect projects.. well it was just too pretty to throw away and knew someday I would find a use for it.. Well that day finally came. So I glued it to a piece of card stock and let it dry. Then used My Favorite Things camellia flower die and adhered the pieces together and set it aside to dry. Then I took a stamp set from Stampin up called what I love.. I stamped the background flowers using paper trey inks. I did the little purple flowers with ranger ink. I added ranger yellow and brown to add more colors. I then die cut some stampin up botanical leaves and Martha Stewart die leaves and added them under the now dry flower. I then added the sentiment also from Stampin up. To complete the card I added a little green gem inside each purple flower.

I hope I have inspired you to make your birthday card and play along at Scrapping 4fun. The challenge is for two weeks.
