Baby Girl

Hello everyone, hope you're enjoying the last few hours of your Sunday. I just finished up whipping up this card for our neighbor who had a baby girl last week. She's so adorable:-) 

The challenge from Meljen's Designs challenge was "Take Five" where you had to use five elements on your project which are the same and I chose the felt banners. I colored up this cute Donkey with prismas and I wanted to keep it simple for the baby girl.

Here's a close up of the image and the inside. The sentiment comes from a Stampendous stamp.

 My sketch comes from the I {Heart} sketch #34.

Happy Birthday Princess

Happy Wednesday! It's time for a C.C Designs Monthly Challenge. This week the challenge is Birthday and I chose to play with White, a stamp I had won a while back. I LOVE this stamp and I decided to go with paper piecing the dress of the princess. 

Every little girl loves a princess in pink but this little girl is a green color lover too so had to make her wish come true. Here she is again showing all the dimensions I added for her accessories, which I got from the 3 bugs in a rug designer paper. I also added some red Candy Cane stickles (available in the SSS store) to her crown, earrings and dress since princess love sparkles.

My sketch comes from the Pile it On challenge #37. I would also like to enter this in the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge where you have to mention what products you used from the Simon Says Stamp store (American Crafts Double Sided Tape, Red Candy Cane Stickles). 

I'm also entering it in the Anyone for Anya challenge.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: White C.C Designs rubber
Ink: printer
Paper: Copic xpress, 3 bugs in a rug, cosmo cricket
Extras: nesties, Darice dots e/f, SU dimensionals, American Crafts Double Sided Tape (SSS Store)

Apples

Ah, apples...Yummy favorites snacks for everyone in our family...Bobbing For Apples is the image given out for the monthly progressive challenge for the "From The Heart Stamps". I colored the image with my prismas and added some MME stickers on the side. I embossed some red cardstock, added a border with my Fiskars punch and finished with some Cosmo Cricket paper for the bottom.

My sketch comes from Feeling Sketchy Challenge and I also wanted to enter the DT call for the "From The Heart Stamps" blog. I know that I will have more time on my hands since my kids are back to school and thus, I thought now is my chance to send in my application. I love to color with my prismacolored pencils without any gamsol or baby oil. I love to go with simpler designs and I love Faith's images. Wish me luck!

Enchanted Pumpkin

Hello peeps, it's been a while since I blogged. Kids have been back to school and I have been busy going back and forth with my son's school. He hasn't adjusted to kindergarten yet and thus, I had to check upon him. Poor him!

My sketch uses the sketch from "I {heart} Sketch #33 and since it's fall, I went with a fall theme. The image is from Doodle Pantry and I picked a colored one since I never did that before. I did add a little embossing and used some MME stickers for the sentiment. 

Doesn't the image represent an enchanted pumpkin with the bear coming out of it?

The Cat's out of the bag

 

 

 This month at Delightful Inspiration {from the heart}, the free stamp of the month challenge is to use “The cat’s out of the bag” digi. It was free to those who participated last month and I decided to combine it with the weekly sketch challenge #32.

 

I coloured my image with my prismacolored pencils, then double mounted it with my square nesties and cut the upper right corner with my square punch. I also used my Martha Stewart punch for the behind the image borders and papers are from one of my old Cosmo Cricket pads.

 

FYI: Faith is having a design team call that is open until Sep 15. You can check out the details on her blog here.

 

I would also like to enter the following challenges:

Finally it's Saturday!!! Hubby is home and will help me with the kids. We don't have anything planned as yet but will have to take them out. They're way too active to keep them inside:-)

I was supposed to make this card for last week's challenge for Meljen's Designs but missed the deadline. But I am happy to use it for this week's challenge which is to use Fancy Fonts, speaking of which, it's the PTI Script sentiments set. Love that one! If you look closely, I offset the sentiment and gave it a hazed look :-)

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Friday! Ah, it's been almost a month since I last posted in here. I wanted to get away from this and everything since the kids are on holidays and they are driving crazy...lol. I needed some time to think about what I was doing and where I needed to focus myself. Family came first in this case and still is. That's why I had to give all my time to my kids, they needed me to be there for them for these 2 months off school. Not an easy task but I strive to make it better everyday.

Enough chit chat and let's get back here. For today's card, I have used From The Heart Stamps sketch and used Tiny Triceratops. I colored it with my prismas as usual. I will also enter this card in the following challenges:
Doodle Pantry , Dutch Dare , Happy Campers , Paper Crafting Journey, Lil Red Wagon and Penny Paper- Crafty.

Card Recipe:

Paper: Cosmo Cricket, American Crafts.
Stamp: Avocado Arts
Extras: prismacolored pencils, Cuttlebug bubbles e/f, spellbinder dies, dimensionals, Kaiser pearls, black outliner



 Later, after I was done, I found that I had used too much of the greens. It then dawned on me that I could go back and outlined the image to give a crisper effect. I totally love it now. What do you think?
