Fa La La La

Good morning!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is starting off well!  I'm getting set for another busy week.  Time seems to be zipping by and I really can't believe that Christmas is only two weeks away!  So much to do!  Anyway, today it's my turn to post my GDT card on The Digi Bells Blog.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are GKD Lipstick Red and the patterned papers are from the Authentique Festive 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Li'l Lynda's Piano Forte from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  She was created by Elisabeth especially for The Digi Bells DT leader, Lynda Nielsen, in honor of her birthday last year!  I decided to use her to make another holiday card.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics in festive Christmas colors.  I added Stickles to her cushion, petticoat and the little doll on the piano.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It was a freebie from last December, I think.  Liquid Pearls accents around the scallop circle frame finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit The Digi Bells blog every day for lots of inspiration using the wonderful stamps in the Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection!

My card is also for the December Sketch For You To Try on Jen Del Muro's blog.  Sadly, it the very last one.  SFYTT was one of the very first challenges I ever entered and I've been following ever since.  To be eligible for this year's amazing prize, we have to have done the challenge every month and list our blog posts for those challenges.

Here is the final (December) SFYTT:

Sending You A Hug

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  We're halfway to the weekend!  Yay!  It's been another busy week so far, but I did manage to sneak a little crafting in, so I'm here to share the card I made for a couple of challenges.  My card is for The Digi Bells DT April Blog Hop (spring flowers), the new April/May Challenge on Elizabeth Bell's World (spring is in the air - spring colors and flowers), 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #46 (make it cute) and Sweet Sketch Wednesday #151.

Here is SSW-151:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Lovely Lavender and layered with soft, flowery papers from the Prima Meadowlark 6x6 pad.  My Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Happy Mail.  You can find it in the 7 Kids store here.  I definitely think this qualifies as cute!  I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  I added White Opal Liquid Pearls to the daisy centers and Buttercup Liquid Pearls to the scalloped frame.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Some yellow sheer ribbon and a Wild Orchid Crafts rose finished my card. I think I covered all the bases - the sketch, the cute and the spring colors and flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  See you tomorrow for another fun Mo's DP2 Challenge!

Sass 'n Class

Hi there! Happy Tuesday!  Hope you had a good day!  It was another busy one for me, but I did manage to get a little crafting done between appointments, so I'm here to share a card I made for a challenge and a Guest Design Team call.  It is for the Craft Your Passion Challenge #106 (diecuts and punches) and the Guest Design Team Call on The Digi Bells blog (use ribbons/lace and any Elisabeth Bell image).

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of SU Wild Wasabi and layered with pretty floral patterned paper from the Kaisercraft Miss Nelly 6.5 x 6.5 pad.  My beautiful Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Sass 'n Class.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles to her jewelry and shoes for a little sparkle.  I diecut the image panel and mat with Spellbinders Petite Scallop and Classic Ovals. I added some Baby Blue Liquid Pearls around the scalloped frame.  The flourish is a diecut made with my Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die.  I threaded some pink satin ribbon through some pretty lace and added it beneath my image panel.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you'll visit again soon!

Walking On Sunshine

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a good day so far!  I managed to finish another card I was working on, so I thought I'd pop by and share it here.  It is for the Belles 'n Whistles Monthly Challenge (use butterflies), the Digi Bells March Release Blog Hop (use flowers), the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #43 (anything goes) and the Aud Sentiments Challenge #50 (sentiment that represents a song).

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of some pink cardstock from Archiver's but I failed to write down the color when I got it.  I layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Hello Luscious 6x6 pad.  My Elisabeth Bell image is Belles 'n Whistles Patches and Braids.  I stamped her on Copic Xpress It Blending Card and colored her with Copic markers.  I added a little Stickles here and there for some sparkle.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Encore set which can be found in Paulette's store here.  I thought it would be perfect for the Aud Sentiments song title challenge.  I added a bunch of flowers from my stash and three rhinestone butterflies to finish my card.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day and I hope to see you soon!

Hearts and Lace

Hi there!  It's me again!  I have another post for today! If you are looking for my Mo's Challenge DT card, click here or scroll down one post.  My second card today is for a couple of challenges I wanted to get in: the B 'n W Monthly Challenge (love & hearts), the Digi Bells February Blog Hop challenge (lots of lace) and The Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge #16 (frame it).

Here is my card for the three challenges:

I started with a card base of SU Baja Breeze and layered with patterned paper from the Memory Box Minuet 6x6 pack.  My Elisabeth Bell image is called Peace.  She is from The Ends Sampler by Elisabeth Bell for SCACD.  The set can be found in Susana's store here.  I was lucky enough to have won that set during the release blog hop.  I stamped her on Cryogen White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored her with Copics.  I added a bit of sparkle with Stickles.  The image is framed with a Cheery Lynn Dutch Scallop Square Frame in Baja.  It added a little extra lace to my design.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   I added a Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish in Certainly Celery and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.  A bow created from eyelet lace and a few hearts punched from glitter paper finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  Enjoy the rest of your day!

Warm Winter Wishes

Hi there!  Hope your Friday has been great and you are ready to start on a fun weekend!  I'm popping in to share a card I made for a couple of challenges.  First, it's for a little contest going on over at the Digi Bells Blog to celebrate the release of a brand new Elisabeth Bell digital image called "Click".  You get to enter a card created with any Elisabeth Bell image (anything goes) to be entered to win the adorable new image.  I jumped all over it!  My card is also for this month's Belles 'n Whistles challenge which had a theme of "frosty winter".  Lastly, I am entering my card in the Simon Says Stamp challenge, which was a sketch challenge.

Here is the SSS sketch from Domi:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I flipped the sketch to horizontal for my card.  I started with a card base of SU Blue Bayou and layered with patterned papers from the Bo Bunny Snowfall 6x6 pad.  My cute EB image is from the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection called Frosty The Snowman.  You can find it here.  I printed it on Cryogen White and colored it with Copics (E00, E000, E11, BG78, BG75, BG72, BG70, E37, E35, E33, E31, E27, E25, E23, W5, W3, W1).  I added a bit of ice glitter to their hats.  The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Warm Winter Wishes. The doily was cut with the Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily die.  I punched a few snowflakes with MS punches and added pearls to their centers.  Some stitched ribbon and a few buttons from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look!  Have a fantastic weekend and see you soon!
