Cute as can Bee!

Hello readers, crafters and friends!! :)

This card tonight was truly inspired by Kris' Bees Knees digi set (from which I used the background papers), and then I had an image printed for the Flat Friends challenge that I had started last night and realized I forgot that it had to be folded twice ... well, anyway, here is my submission for both Flat Friends Challenge - "More than One Fold" this month and the DigiSketch Challenge

(both sketch and theme - Glitter It!)

^This one shows the glitter better on her wings 

What started out as a gate fold turned more into an easel card, as the front panels kept getting bigger as I planned it.  I have used some scraps from the background papers on the inside as well.  This will be sent to a young friend who is going through a rough patch right now.  I hope it brightens her day.

So, leave me a comment or two letting me know what you think.  I would love to stop by your blog too and take a peek if you have played along with either of these sketches, be sure to leave me a note.

Inky Hugs,

Flat-out cute digi images

Hey there, fellow bloggers/crafters!

I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine was a little busy and really flew by as usual with hubby only home one full day with me on the weekends, so we try and cram a full day in on Sundays ...  anyway, it's great spending time with him, but ... I took a little "me" time tonight and snuck off to my craft room to create a card or two (have a couple more in the making to show you soon).

I stumbled onto this blog with some cute sketches of some every day images that one could use for birthdays or special occasions called "Flat Friends."  Emma, whom I  believe is from the UK with some Irish heritage (read about recently), has created these simple, yet adorable flat images, and I thought I would play along by grabbing a few freebies there too ... unfortunately I didn't pay very close attention to the challenge (more than 1 fold) and will have to try again with one of the other images I printed for later if I want to play in the challenge this month *doh*

This sweet image is called "Cupcake," and I believe it will be perfect for an upcoming friend's birthday next month ...

• Image:  FlatFriends by Emma
• Sentiment:  Sneak Peek from Imagine That ... stay tuned a couple of days to see more!
• Tools used:  Spellbinders Lacy Ovals, Spellbinders Large Ovals, Stampin' Up large oval punch and large oval scalloped punch.

I also played along with the sketch part at Digi Sketch Challenge this week.  Come take a look! :)

Inky Hugs,
