Hugs -- for Path of Positivity Challenge Blog

It's the first Monday of the month, so that means it's time for a new challenge at the Path of Positivity Challenge blog.  This month, our sponsors are SheepSki Designs and Lunagirl.

For this challenge, I worked with a gorgeous design, Flower Bouquet, from SheepSki Designs.  With it, I created this:

This month's challenge at The Path of Positivity Challenge blog give you the option to use your favorite color(s).  This time of year, I'm more into the pastel, soft colors, often leaning towards pinks and blues.  For this card, I stuck to a pink theme.  I love coloring on Kraft, and I like Kraft with bright colors.  It's a great contrast!  So, I have lots of favorite things going on with this card.  

I colored the Flower Bouquet image with  Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.  This Flower Bouquet was very enjoyable to color up!  Wouldn't it make a pretty Mother's Day card?

The sentiment is an acrylic stamp from Power Poppy.  The papers are from Close To My Heart.  The jute string is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 

I hope you can join us this month at The Path of Positivity Challenge Blog for our optional "Choose your favorite Color(s)" challenge.  Or, you can enter any positive themed project you'd like.

Just Smile -- Guest Designing at The Outlawz

Woohoo!  It's Thursday!  The week is moving right along.  I'm super excited today to be guest designing at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday.  I play along whenever I can with the Outlawz challenges, and the Twisted Thursday challenges are super fun, with their 'twists', or, if you prefer, it can be anything goes.  The last Thursday of the month (that would be today), the challenges are always Anything Goes.  Yes!

The sponsor this month at Twisted Thursday is Dragon's Lair Designs.  I had great fun coloring up one of the fun dragon images to make this card:

This card uses the digital stamp, Flutter Byes, colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from a Power Poppy acrylic stamp set.  The papers on this card are from Close To My Heart.  The gold butterfly was cut out from a die from Sizzix.

Just Smile -- for DigiStamps4Joy April Challenge

April 1st!  Happy Easter!  I am spending most of Easter morning playing organ at several area churches.  There's no such thing as a holiday when you're a church organist!

April 1 -- that means it's time for a new challenge at the DigiStamps4Joy Challenge Blog.  I have the privilege of being the hostess this month.  I chose the optional theme of 'bright colors', having come through a dull, drab winter.  The challenge goes for a month. 

Here's my card for the optional "Bright Colors" challenge, or you can enter an "Anything Goes" project, if you prefer.

This card uses Butterfly (jl743), colored with Copic markers.  The background was created with distress inks and stencils, plus enamel dots.  The sentiment is from Power Poppy.  The stitched circle die is from Craftin' Desert Divas.  

I am so excited to be hosting this month's challenge at DigiStamps4Joy, that I hope you join in the fun!  I'd love to see what you create, and we've got great digis for you to win!  Remember, they go all month, are Anything Goes, with an optional "Bright Colors" theme.

This image is called Bumblebee Blossom.  I colored it with Copic markers and colored pencils.  

The card base was cut out on my Silhouette Cameo, and was found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The sentiment is from Power Poppy Stamps.  That bright yellow ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Birthday Wishes -- Outlawz Monthly Progressive Challenge

I'm trying to play along with the Outlawz Monthly Progressive Challenge.  I really like this month's image called Wild Rose from Beccy's Place.  

I colored the Wild Rose image with Copic markers.  I didn't plan to fussy cut it, but a blop if ink made me do it, LOL.  

The sentiment is from Power Poppy.  The digital background paper is from MHKDesigns. The stitched oval die is from Die-namics. 

See you at The Outlawz!
