Happy Easter

Happy Easter! I wanted to share my card for the clean and simple challenge over at The Outlawz. Once again, I used a pre-colored digital image, this one is from Clear Dollar Stamps and is called Tulip Wreath. A quick and easy card (good thing as I was watching The Walking Dead marathon last night while I was making this!!) with no embellishments...unless you consider sewing and dry embossing an embellishment.

Have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

Doodle Pantry

I haven't seen the inside of my stamp room in days, so it felt good to get crafty today. My stress has been almost thru the roof with family stuff, so coloring was not in the cards for me today. Instead, I decided to use a pre-colored image from Doodle Pantry called Li'l Cowkids. Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog - for a child with a sentiment.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter. With so much happening here, I totally forgot to get my ham. I'd better get creative for dinner.
 

Sweet Ladybug

Welcome to our latest sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It's fun and fabulous so I sure hope you can join in.

We have a new sponsor this week, Paper Addictions. I highly recommend taking a stroll thru the shop, the images are adorable. Our grand prize winner this week will be happy because they will receive any 5 items from Paper Addictions' Etsy shop. 

 "My name is Jacqueline Mathews and I am a crafter and designer.  I love paper, pens, doodling, stamping and above all designing.  I have a degree in fine arts with an emphasis in graphic design.  I worked in the graphic design industry for many years and quit 15 years ago to become a stay at home mom for my 3 kids.  Now that the kids are older and don’t need me as much, I am reinventing myself and have decided that I wanted to create my own line of digital stamps.  I have dabbled in rubber stamping and became a “Stampin’ up!” demonstrator and had a blast, but thought it would be more fun to create my own stamps.  I decided digital was the way to go.  It is affordable for the customer and for the designer.  I now have a digital stamp shop on Etsy called “PaperAddictions”.  I would love to create my own line of rubber stamps someday, but for now I am testing my designs out in my shop to see if anyone likes them.  I am pleasantly surprised that I have gotten a good response to the images I have designed so far.  This positive response has motivated me to create more images in the future."

For my card, I was thrilled to work with KatieBug on a Swing. Is she not adorable?!! Play along with us, because this could be one of the items you choose from our wonderful sponsor Paper Addictions. 

Thanks a Latte

What a crazy day! Darn near 6" of snow fell, and it's supposed to be spring!!! Snow is in the forecast all the way thru Thursday. I was in the mood to stay inside with a hot cup of tea and some rubber stamps. This is a Fresh Brewed Designs stamp called She Loves Lattes. So perfect because I needed a thank you card and was planning to put a Starbucks gift card inside! I followed the sketch over at Sunday Sketch & Stamp...I always love a good sketch, especially one that lets me use some designer paper scraps. Wishing you a wonderful day!
 

Spring has Sprung

At least according to the calendar spring has arrived. But as I am typing this post, it's Sunday evening and we're on the edge of our seat waiting for the next dumping of snow. 6 inches is predicted so we'll see. In the meantime, I wanted to share this card featuring the adorable image from Doodle Pantry, the recently released color version of Fuzzy Duckling. I even used one of the digital papers included in this set. This card is a reminder that Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the "Bring on Spring" challenge over at Chocolate, Coffee, and Cards. Other challenges I am submitting this card to include:

The Sweet Stop - sketch 
Paper Creator's Crafts - Spring has Sprung
2 Sisters - Easter/Spring
One Stitch as a Time - Use a digi

Shopping My Stash

Welcome to a new CAS challenge over at The Outlawz. This happens to be "National Cleaning Week" so we are challenging you to create a clean and simple card by using something old from your stash. I pulled out an old Gina K Designs stamp set that I'm sad to say has not seen any ink...I decided to change that! I colored the flower with Memento markers that I have and rarely use. Same goes with the washi tape. I need to do this more often, it's fun looking thru my stash!! Now you do the same and join us for our CAS challenge over at The Outlawz.  

Stinkin' Cute

That's all I can say about the sweet color version of Cute Critters from Clear Dollar Stamps. This card is for our latest Clearly Inspired Challenge - Anything Goes. Play along, because the more who do, the more prizes that are given away. I pulled out some scraps to create my card, the striped paper being digital paper from the set I used for our blog hop, Corvette. The colors couldn't have been more perfect for this stinkin' cute skunk.

Enjoy your weekend! After all, IT'S FRIDAY!!!
