Holly Jolly Christmas Bingo

We're playing bingo this week at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge. I went with the line of snowflakes, blue, and free space. I was thrilled to be able to use this Lacy Sunshine image called Snowflake. And who knew a girl could look so pretty in blue hair?!!! I wanted to add a sentiment but just couldn't find that perfect one, so I've left it off for now. Please join us this week at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge for some bingo fun.

Saying a Prayer for You

Today's my day to share some Doodle Pantry cards! This is my second post, be sure and scroll down to see my first card for today. Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge over at 613 Avenue Create. Their theme this week is birds, feathers, wings. I went with a recently released Doodle Pantry set called Flying Dove. I love the peaceful nature of this image. I also love the teals and white so I kept it with those colors with some black accents.

Some challenges I'd like to submit this to include:
2 Sisters Challenge - Black, White +1 Other Color
Kitty Bee Designs - Things With Wings 
Digi Haven - Things With Wings
QKR Stampede - A Little Birdie Told Me
Aud Sentiments - Anything Goes With Sentiment
Creative Knockouts - Things With Wings

Frame It

Welcome to our Clean and Simple challenge over at The Outlawz. This week our theme is "Frame It." Now I cut out my brown frame by nesting two square dies together and running them through my Big Shot. The image is by Doodle Pantry, one of the carousel collections called Carousel Horse 1. Yes, this is the color version, my favorite kind of digi to use!!! I love the sentiment, makes me think of Disney. Join us and show off your frames, clean & simple style at The Outlawz.
   

You Fill My Day With Happy

I've had this card done for two days now, too bad I couldn't get it posted before today!!! I was a winner from the last Online Card Class about stencils and, after cleaning off my desk, decided to play with one of my winnings. I used Hero Arts ink on this in Butter Bar, Orange Soda and Red Royal. The sentiment is a Simon Says Stamp set from the March monthly card kit, Color and Sunshine. A few rhinestones and a simple card is complete.

Some challenges I'd like to submit my card to include:
Brown Sugar Challenge - Anything Goes
Craftitude - Anything Goes
Crafts 4 Eternity - Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes
Make Something Monday - Stencil

Hugs to You!

It's the middle of March and spring starts tomorrow...or so the calendar says!! I am so ready for some consistent warm weather, so tired of the cold. Anyway, here's our latest sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. It's a quick one, and great for using up scraps of designer papers.  

Our sponsor is Sally Ann at Digi Stamp Boutique. She is offering our winner a £10 voucher to her store. Happy times when you get to go shopping with your winnings!! 

Here's my card, using the sweet Bizzie Lizzie bumble bee. I love the big smile she has on her face!! I added a bit of sparkle to her wings and the center of the flower. And yes, that is scraps of paper I used!! I decided to add some stitching, both zig zag and straight. I feel like I haven't used my sewing machine on my cards in a while.

I sure hope you can join us this week for this great sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.

I'm submitting my card to the challenge over at the Digi Stamp Boutique Blog - use a DSB image.

Happy Winter?

Actually, I'd be happy to see winter go away!!!! This has been a rough one, way too cold for way too long. However, a winter scene is our theme this week at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge. I used a Doodle Pantry image, Covered Bridges, and yes, I used the color version. Love 'em!! The sentiment is from the set Snowman Cheer. I found an old pad of Basic Grey paper that had lots of blues and browns in it. It was fun to use it because it is far from a winter/Christmas theme of paper. A simple layout, perfect for those few bachelors still in our circle of friends. Please join us this week and share your winter scene at Holly Jolly Christmas.
   

40 and Fabulous!

Just wanted to share my card for out clean and simple challenge over at The Outlawz. Our theme this week is a milestone birthday or anniversary. This was one quick and easy card to create. Just wish my numbers were straight!!!! Guess when you're over 40, the eye sight is one of the first things to go! Just tilt your head!!! I used the number dies and stamp set from PaperTrey Ink - Big Birthday Wishes and By the Numbers die set. Like I said, one quick and easy card.
