Happy Anniversary!

Happy Tuesday all!!  Today I have a card that I made for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary *Ü*  I used one of the new releases from Doodle Pantry and this one is ‘Cozy Gazebo’.  If you stop by the Doodle Pantry blog, Laurie has a tutorial on how she colored this gazebo.  So helpful, thanks Laurie!!  I used the image without the bushes and trellis and added some flower soft to make the bushes.  Then I sponged in the grass and added some blades of grass and sponged in the sky a bit.  The sentiment is computer generated and the pearls and little pink flowers in the bow are from McMahon five Designs.  (A Christmas pressie from my sweet sis). 

Thanks for visiting my blog today!  Have a great week =)

Old Boots & DD27

Good afternoon stampers!  How’s everyone’s Monday going?  Mine’s going fine now that I’m home from work, hehe!!   Today I would like to share with you a card I made for my FIL’s Birthday this week.  It’s also for the Double Delight challenge Kris and I have going right now.  First let’s get to the challenge..

1.  Use any free image from Becky’s Place (she has so many cute images to choose from that you’ll definitely be able to find something for just about anyone!!)

2.  Make a Birthday card with it! 

So for my card, I picked the OLD BOOTS!  I thought it would be fitting to use this image for a guy.  I paired it with some tickets I found and I believe they’re from scrapdictive.  The sketch I made up myself and used dp from DCWV.  I think that my FIL will like these boots, now I need to find a sentiment to go on the inside…HMMM!  Any suggestions?? 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great week and enjoy creating *Ü*

Falling in Love Bear & a cupcake!

 

Hello stampers!!  My sister Kris and I often have sister challenges, so we decided to do one with the new image from Designed2Delight and pair it up with another older d2d image.  As you can see, I used the Falling in Love  polar bear.  This is the new challenge we have going over at Double Delight Challenges.

  We are both entering the Card Ideas challenge from the Designers of the Designed2 Delight Team. The challenge is to make a card/project with a Christmas/ winter color combo.  You must use any Designed2Delight images, use blues and purples with white or black being the neutral color, and any embellishment that seems “icy” to you…glitter, glossy effects, clear coating, etc. The deadline is this Friday so you still have a few days left. 

Here is the newest freebie from D2D…if you participated in last weeks challenge, you got this sent to your inbox.   If you missed last week, then you can purchase it in the store.  Isn’t it a cutie!!       

So that’s about it for me today..Hope you have a great week!!

Thank you cards!

 

Good afternoon stampers!!  Happy Sunday  Today I made 3 cards for 3 special ladies I work for and I wanted to show them how much I appreciate them. I made 3 of the same kind.  I used an old SU set called Wreath of Roses.  I didn’t want the card to be to fussy or busy so I went for the CAS look, then I used the MS lace punch and added some ribbon to finish it off.  I know they will enjoy this card along with some flowers .  

That’s about all for me today,  no challenges to enter this into just wanted to let you see what I made today.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week ahead!!

Ewe are Sweet!!

Good Evening stampers!!  Today I have a card I made for the Designed 2 Delight challenge.  It’s a progressive challenge that you can get freebies just for playing.  This weeks image is this cute li’l sheep set.  Isn’t it the cutest!!

If you make a project with one of these images, you’ll get next weeks sent to your inbox.  Since it’s the first Friday of the month the Sheep image is free for you to grab. 

For my  card, I used the sheep and I also added a little sentiment to inside the heart.  The ‘sweet’ is from Doodle Pantry’s ‘Heart Candy Ants’ set found here.  Laurie has many cute sets for a very reasonable price, so you should check out her store.

Well, that’s about all for me today…Have a great rest of the week and stay warm!!  We are expecting  some snow tonight here in Washington State.  BRRR!! 

Happy Birthday Darling Hubby!!

 

Good Evening stampers.  I made this card for my DH.  His birthday is next week and he loves to fish, so I thought this image from Doodle Pantry would be perfect.  He’s always saying how he hopes to catch the 50 pounder one of these days.   Well one of these days his wish might come true!!   Anyway,  I added one of the sentiments that came with the set on there as well and don’t know how it got all crooked, but let’s pretend it’s not ok??  LOL!!

Laurie has so many cute digi sets available in her shop and if you’re new to digis, she has so many freebies for you to try out.  If you do grab a freebie, why not enter the challenge going on now,  all you need to do is use one of Doodle Pantry’s images.   You have til the 19th to get your entry in and the best part is you get a free set just for playing along…how cool is that.  Plus, one lucky player win a $20 Doodle Pantry gift certificate. 

Well that’s all for me tonight.  Have a great and restful weekend!! 

Doodle Pantry Challenge #5

Good Evening everyone!!  Today I have a card that I made for the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #5.  The challenge is to use any of Doodle Pantry's images.  There were several new releases that came out on the 5th and this image is one of them.  It actually is a set called Heart Candy Ants.  To see all the new releases and challenge rules please visit the challenge blog here.  There's even a cute cute freebie just for playing along.

This card is also for the Double Delight Challenge.  My sister Kris and I do challenges about every week and post them on the challenge blog.   It's where you take a freebie from any company and add an extra challenge along with it...it's just something we like to do for fun.  So the challenge is to use a doodle pantry image along with these colors... 

I used designer paper from the Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions.  I tried to get as close as possible to the colors in the challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by..I can't wait to see what you create with your Doodle Pantry image and these colors.  Remember to link your card to the Doodle pantry challenge blog and Double Delight Challenge blog.  Happy Creating *Ü*
