Stamp-N-Doodle 'Anything Goes' Challenge


Hi Everyone!

We have a new challenge over at Stamp-N-Doodle. Stop by and check it out!  The theme for this week's challenge is a Lauren Curtis Spotlight - "Anything Goes."  My goal was to coordinate the blues, browns, and greens for that camping/outdoorsy look.   It's definitely different than the girly cards I've been doing recently :p 

Here is my card...
I decided not to color in the image completely, and used the copics just for a touch.

'Cherry Blossoms' Card

Hey Everyone!

I see cherry blossoms beginning to bloom, and they are gorgeous!

I wanted to share a card I made using my Cricut a few months ago.  I saw a similar card on Pinterest, and felt a CASE coming on!   It's a simple card, but so charming.  I loved the LO and pearl details, and put my own twist to it.


Here is my card..

I used the 'Gypsy Wanderings' Cartridge for this one.  You can see the original card that inspired me, at Holly's Blog:  Ribbons & Glue.

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:
