Thinking of you

Today I used the  sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to make this card.  I love all things beach.  So this set of stamps from  Art Impressions was a must have. Art Impressions has a circles challenge. This is not  their intended  use but it is what I had time to make today.  Soon you  will see it in the correct layout.  As You Like It challenges has a favorite  coloring median.  I really enjoy  using my Spectrum markers for all my coloring needs.

Monster

This  little guy made me laugh when I saw him.  I immediately knew he needed to be green and  some other bright colors.  The  silvery looking colors are actually a metallic purple. ( Just another camera malfunction). I am sure my little Grandson will get a kick out of this little guy too! I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning SketchesFab N Funky has a Fantasy or Fairytale Challenge. Little Miss Muffet has an Anything Goes Challenge later this month. Crafty Creations and Pinspirational Challenges both have Anything Goes Challenges.

Honey Bear

My husband and I raise bees for their honey. So naturally whenever I see Bee  images I can't wait to use them.  This cute set is from Stamping Up.  I will be using it  more real soon. Tonight I'm using it for both the  Cards TV and Word Art Wednesday  Anything Goes challenge.  Give a Crafter a Cookie has Bees as their theme this month as well.

Mouse

Today  I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches to make this sweet card.  It  didn't turn out  quite the way I planned but I used scraps from my desk  rather than getting out something else.  Crafty Sentiments has a For Girls Only challenge.  Hiding in My Craft Room has a Scraps Challenge.

Believe

I have a friend who graduates from college  in a  few weeks.  She's  lacking a bit of confidence right now and  is very unsure about where life leads her  next.  I thought this quick card might give her a bit of a confidence boost.  Also, Casology has  Believe as their Cue Word.  Through the Craft Room Door and Crafting From the Heart both have an Anything Goes Challenge.

Happy Birthday

A quick Birthday card to start off the day!  Today I used the sketch and color scheme from Your Next Stamp.  A Gem of a Challenge has a Female Birthday with a  sentiment challenge.  I grabbed my rectangle die that was still laying on my desk and cut the image and the background  so I can use this for the Dies R Us Anything Goes Challenge.  Jo's Scrap Shack and Catch the Bug Both have Anything Goes Challenges.  Aud Sentiments also has a Birthday with Sentiment challenge.

Wild About You

One more for  tonight and I'm  calling it a night.  It's been a long tiring day and tomorrow doesn't look much better.  MFT Challenges has a  color challenge that I used for this card.  It sorta seems this card is missing something but I cant' quite decide what to add to it.  CardsTV , Creative Knockouts and Cute Card Thursday all have Anything Goes challenges.

Happy Birthday Monster

Tonight I finally had sometime to sit and play for a bit.   I chose to use  the Stella Says Sketch as my layout.  Just Add Ink has a color challenge.  My colors didn't show up exactly what they had but should be close enough.  Simon Says Wednesday has a Happy Birthday themed challenge.  Inspiration Destination, Cards TV and Cute Card Thursday all have Anything Goes Challenges.

Coffee

I really wasn't sure what to do for the clue word at CASOLOGY. But then I saw this  cute  quote in the silhouette store and it seemed to fir perfectly.  I will be sending this to my friend  Myra who does exactly what the card suggests. Crafty Gals and Through the Craft Room Door both have an Anything Goes challenge.

Birds Soar

I'm rally hating this shadow that keeps appearing in my pictures.  I'm not sure where  it is coming from but I am determined to lose it real soon.  I made this card from a quote from William Blake.  If you really think about what it says, one will figure out why it is so important .  I used the sketch from Cas(e) this Sketch because the sentiment is profound enough to not need anything  added to this card.  Jo's Scrap Shack has an Anything Goes challenge.  I love using scraps to complete a project even if it  is just a scrap of white.  Crafty Sentiments and Crafty Creations both have Anything Goes Challenges.

Easter Bunny Trio


I printed this  image  a lot bigger than I first intended  do I had to keep the card fairly  simple.  CAS on Friday  and Cut It Up both have an Easter theme.  I used Sketch #506 from Sketch Saturday.  Give a Crafter a Cookie has an Easter Critter challenge. I used my Spellbinder nested rectangles for this as well.  Little Miss Muffett has an Anything Goes challenge. Simon Says Monday has  a Use a trio of Something challenge.

Quilt Square

It has been  quite a few days since I have been able to post anything.  Life just  seems to continuously get in the way of my play time.  Tonight I took the time to finally make this quilt square card.  I really like how these turn out.  It does take some time to  get all the small pieces in just the right place.  Brown Sugar Challenges has a  Spring or Easter Challenge.  I think these colors will work for either.  Simon SaysWednesday and CardsTV both have Anything Goes Challenges.  Cute Card Thursday has an Add a Quote challenge.  I am sure  you will be seeing more of these in the near future.
