Purple!

Well, It's Purple Time at Karen's Doodles Challenge.  I used these lovely ladies from Karen's Doodles .  Are they two of the spunkiest women, or what??  I love them especially in purple!  I wasn't thinking of doing the purple challenge but I hadn't participated in Karen's challenge in a couple of weeks and thought - Why not!!!  So.....here they are in all their purple glory!

Wish

Is this little one the cutest image or what??  I love Karen's Doodles - she's got the best images!  First of all - go check 'em out here .  He's just adorable - I decided to use him for this challenge for a number of reasons!  He is one of the digis I printed and had in my stash, hence he's in my arsenal in the hospital room.  A bit limited but it's great because I've got so many printed!  I used scraps for the mats and cut the punched label in half with brads!  The Karen's Doodles Challenge Blog is "FRAME IT"  I thought I'd frame it in a couple ways - with a matting, and I pierced the mat - that's a double frame in my opinion - LOL!  I used a flourish and a ticket and done!  I love how my coloring came out - Maybe my daughter is right - I must like blue and green best - I noticed I have a tendency to use it a bunch!!

He who has hope...

Ok - I'm still in my Craft Room!  My little one (and the only one left at home) is with her Grandma so I'm free to do as I please!  So...here I am, yet again....Well, my next challenge and "just do it card" is for Karen's Doodles!  You can find her digis here at Karen's Doodles.  She's got a great variety and lotsa fun stuff!  I just love 'em - check out the old man biker....and the babies upside down.....I could go on and on!!  Anyway- the challenge was lotsa layers so...I have 5 layers if you count the button, flowers, 4 mats, etc. etc.  Oh wait, that makes 6!  Well, let's see what you think - leave me a comment--it helps me coming back for more!  LOL!!

Easter Fairy Fluttering!

Ok - make it fancy and feminine!  I do believe this qualifies - It's girly, feminine, fancy bright, wow - that's a lot of adjectives!!  I tried to make this very fun!  I decided to go really fun because dog gone it - any fairy flying by that looks like this one deserves to be on a fun background!!  Nothing too serious for this lady!  I found the sentiment here at Deedee's digis and loved it!  The background is a striped glittery paper from DCWV.  I added the silly loops (cause we know this fairy has to be a bit loopy dressed like that) as a border - Martha Stewart has the best around the page borders, eh??  So,  I hope this put a smile on your face!

Happy Monday Challenge

A Tisket A Tasket, a cute little Bunny Basket!

The old nursery song - A Tisket A Tasket a green and yellow basket - I wrote letter to my mom and on the way I lost it,....Ok - just be happy this is written form and not actually singing it!  Well, actually, when the music is up real loud - my voice is awesome.  I do believe it is the drowning of my voice that makes it better - but better it is!  Ha! Ha!  This digi from Karen's Doodles had so much detail - I loved it!  I decided to combine it with a sketch from Sweet Sketch - I find that combining with a Sketch takes some of the "thinking" out of it!
Hope you enjoy my card....

Feeling Green?

Sometimes I wonder what I'm thinking when I make my cards - this is basically a monochromatic card - Thinking green when someone is sick....the ole' green around the gills thingy!  And of course, the turtle is green so I ran with it - This Karen's Doodles digi is too cute- her challenge was to use an animal? get well cards is something I seem to never have enough of - mmmmm.....what does that tell ya'??  Anyway - i just enjoyed this card -

True Love

True Love can come in the form of true friendship - A lot of people think of your companion (spouse, etc)  Well, my bestie is a true love for me - we'd do anything for each other.  This made me think of her - we love to spend time on the lake during the summer  - well, we use boats and neither one of us is quite that size - but it still made me think of her.  I just thought it was a fun digi from Karen's Doodles.  I hope you enjoy it - one of the challenges was to show true love without words - well, I think this does it!!  Again, as usual - thanks for popping in....

Friends!

Talk about a fun digi!  I wanted to stay with all pinks and reds - these little girls are so cute!  Don't they seem like the best of friends - i just got a new shapeabilities - labels - i'm in love is all I gotta say!  I wanted to use a couple dp - so I used my glitter dp to make a butterfly to make it qualify for another challenge - One of the challenges was a tribute to Martin Luther King so I made a mixed ethnic card.  Too cute - Friendship is blind to color!  Loving it!!

Oops! I did it Again!!

I love Karen's Doodles Digis!!  This is the little peekaboo girl!!  I love the sentiment I had from one of my freebies - forgive me I don't remember from who!?!?!?  It was a monochromatic theme.  I don't do a lot of purples - so I thought - let's challenge myself also.  I liked it!!  I may just fall in love with purple!!   Thanks for stopping by = this is just a short diddy - I have to shower and get to a luncheon!!!  Toodle Ooooo!
