Stamp-N-Doodle "Distress" Challenge

Hey Everyone!

What a gloomy day!  We haven't had rain like this in months.  It's much needed rain for the area, but it's causing lots of flooding.  Here's to hoping it makes way to some sunny days ahead!

I guess my card today sort of goes with the mood.  It's a "pouting" girl.  Looks like she's upset she can't go out to play today!  The theme for our new challenge over at Stamp-N-Doodle is "Distressed."  It's put together by design team member Jackie!  Stop by and play with us....inside...cause it's raining outside...don't pout!  I couldn't resist :p

Title: ICRC29 Card with Elements and a "Theme" Twist

Happy May Everyone!

The beginning of a new month brings new challenges our way, and we have one for you over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!   This was a fun card to make, as I loved the use of different ELEMENTS, and especially liked the "THEME" TWIST for May :)

ICRC29 – Card with Elements and a “Theme” Twist

You'll be using ELEMENTS on your cards that you'll find on our DT Blogs.  That's right...you'll have to visit each of the five DT blogs listed below for the elements.  You only need to put three of the elements onto your card, but you can use more than three if you'd like.   

Finally, you must visit the ICR Blog for the TWIST!!!

The element I used is
EMBOSSING!  
Here is my card...

So you have some visiting to do!  Have fun, and I look forward to seeing your projects on ICR!

SP's 'Lovely Emma' Stamp...again!

Happy Tuesday!  

I took a quick picture yesterday of a cherry blossom tree in our neighborhood when I was at a stoplight...so quick, I don't believe the camera had time to adjust.  It was so gloomy out, that the pic came out extremely dark.   If it wasn't for Instagram and it's million filters, I probably would've deleted it!  Pretty huh?! 

I had to use the "Lovely Emma" Digi Stamp once more...can't get enough of it.  I realized I have a new set of 'Emma' stamps I need to use, so will get to it this week!

ICRC28: Card/Project with Speech Bubble and a Witty/Pun Sentiment

Happy April Everyone!

April is my favorite month of the year!  The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and the sun is warming everything up.  It's also my birthday month!

The beginning of a new month brings new challenges our way, and we have one for you over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!   This was a fun card to make, as I loved the witty/sentiment idea!  

Here is the Challenge for the month of April

ICRC28: Card/Project with Speech Bubble and a Witty/Pun Sentiment

When I was first putting together ideas for this card, I could only think monsters!  I've been wanting to use these monster digis that I had found a while back.  I colored them in with my copic markers, and added the googly eyes.  The sewing took quite some time, as the holes were so close to the edges.  I had to be careful not to cause any tears.  I stamped out my sentiment, drew a border around it with my maker for the speech bubble, and cut it out.  The sentiment is from the "Monster Mash" stamps set.  I've had this set from The Alley Way Stamps for almost a year now, and was excited to finally use it!

Here is my card...

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Created with Love Challenges - CWLC #35 - April Fools Day
Catered Crop - Twine

ICR HOLI PICHKARI BLOG HOP 2013!

Happy Holi Everyone!

The Pichkari Holi Blog Hop by the ICR Team, is in full swing!  Stop by and join in!  
You'll find all the details at the ICR Forum! 

Holi On Wikipedia - "Holi is also called the Spring Festival - as it marks the arrival of spring the season of hope and joy. The gloom of the winter goes as Holi promises of bright summer days. Nature too, it seems rejoices at the arrival of Holi and wears its best clothes. Fields get filled with crops promising a good harvest to the farmers and flowers bloom colouring the surroundings and filling fragrance in the air."

For me, Holi = COLORS!  Lots and lots of bright and beautiful COLORS!

Stop by to see all the fantastic projects that the ICR team has come up with!

Unfortunately, this will be the one event I will have to regretfully miss, as I just returned from a week long vacation filled with numerous delayed flights and all!  Looking forward to the next one though!
