Ike's World #22 Midway Post

Hello friends.  Thanks for joining me for our midway post over at Ike's World Challenges.  Our theme for this challenge is FEATHERED FRIENDS.  There are some really pretty images that fit this theme in the Ike's Art Store.  Take a gander.

This sweet little birdie is an image called Blue Tit Rowan and she can be found in the store.  I used some Frosted Lace Stickles to add the "snow" to the berries and branch.  I looked up the bird on the internet to try to make it as realistic as possible.  Hope I did them justice.

Thanks again for stopping by.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Who Needs Chestnuts?

Hello there.  I was able to get another card made today.  We had an outdoor concert at church tonight and then Kierstynne had a baton twirling parade tonight.  It was pretty neat.  All of the floats were covered in twinkling lights and the girls' batons were glow batons.  It didn't start until 9:00 pm or so.  

I made a Christmas card with a cute image from Doodle Pantry called Candy Cane Ants.

These are some cute ants for sure.  I didn't like the way they had just dots for eyes so I redid them with a white gel pen and a black Zig marker.  The papers are all from My Mind's Eye.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great Sunday and God bless.

I used one of my most favorite animals to make my card this week.

I love frogs and this little "Bikini Frog" (Digi #8204) was just too irresistible.  She looks pretty cute in that little bikini.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day and God bless.

QKR Stampede Challenge #95

Happy 4th of July.  Welcome to another new challenge at QKR Stampede. Boy, there were some wonderful Cat and Dog entries last week.

This week we have a "Bug" challenge for y'all.  There are lots of cute images in the store.  

I used a cute ladybug image to create my card.

I wanted to do something different with the background papers so I played off the blues in the image and browns because it's bugs. :)

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day and God bless.

QKR Stampede Challenge #94

Happy Friday!  Hope everyone is good.  It's the beginning of the weekend, so that's always good.

Today begin a new challenge at QKR Stampede.  Our sports challenge last week brought in some wonderful projects.  This week, we have a fun challenge for y'all. "Add a cat or dog" or both in my case.

These peace animals are just too cool.  I found these two papers from The Paper Studio in my stash and thought they would work well.  I used glitter gel pens to color in the sentiment bubble letters.

Thank you for stopping by today.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Clear It Out Challenge #33

Happy Tuesday.  Welcome to my little piece of the world.  It's a nice day here today.  After days of rain, it's nice to see the sun.

Today starts our new challenge at Clear It Out.  We enjoyed seeing all the great entries from our last challenge.  Thanks for joining us.

Our theme this week is to use "ICE CREAM COLORS".  When I was making my card, I seemed to forget that.  But, it turned out pretty well anyway.  I used Orange Sherbet and Chocolate Ice Cream.  Not the most appetizing combo, but it fits the theme.

Our sponsor this week is:

                                

I fell in love with this cute little Platypus when I saw it.  He's so adorable.  I used a sentiment from Stampin' Up and a flower gem that I had in my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I would love to see your cards in our challenge this week.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

QKR Stampede Challenge #93

Happy Friday, friends.  Thanks for joining me today.   I love that you have taken time out of your schedule to stop in and see what I have been up to. I love to read the comments you leave for me.  They really mean alot.

Our challenge this week at QKR Stampede is "SPORTS".  I used Little Cowboy and decided on an off the wall idea of sports.  To us southerners, the rodeo is a real sport, so this image fit well.

Remember that we have two winners and a Top 5 now.  So, there are lots of chances to earn digi images.

Isn't he cute?  Do you remember those stick horses that we had as kids? I do, I loved mine.  I rode that thing until the stick fell out of the horse head. Oh the fun we had as kids.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Make sure to jump over to the blog and enter a card into this fun challenge.  Have a wonderful Friday and God bless.

Card Mania Baby Challenge

Welcome.  Thanks for joining me for another challenge card.  This one is for the Card Mania Challenge.  The theme is Baby Cards.

I decided to use this sweet giraffe image that I found free online when I first started using digis.  I pulled some papers from my stash that I have had for a long time.  The sentiment and hearts are from a Hot Off The Press stamp set.  Adding a gingham bow finished off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great day and God bless.

Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge #23

Hello friends.  Thanks for joining me today.  I have another card for a challenge today.  Yep, I had some free time so I thought I would make a card.

I used an image from Anji's Antics to make this male anniversary card.  I added a background using a tree stamp from Gina K's stamps, a Fiskar's Border Punch and a hand drawn stream with rocks and grass.

I used my Word program to make the sentiment and added some buttons for a more masculine feel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.    I hope y'all have a wonderful day and God bless.
