Tee Hee!!  Well, I do so hope you like my little guy - i stuck with all masculine browns and blues - Thanks so much and wish me luck - I so wanna' get some stamps from the LOTV!

Road Trip!

Ok - Me and My Bestie are going on a Road Trip next month!  Man, do we need it!  We're gonna' head up the coast somewhere - We're 4 hours apart and don't get the time we used to!  So....Road Trip!  Anyway, I paper pieced this stamp of Sparkle's - She has the best!  For some reason I'm hooked on her rubber stamps!  You can find 'em here at Sparkles Creations Store.  She has a sketch for a challenge this week- so...I decided to play along last minute!  I used Cruisin Chloe and some scraps - I did cut from a whole piece the mat!  Shucks!  I love using scraps!  I used my Sakura embossing and glitter pens and Copics of course!  Hope you like her and i hope you get to do a road trip with your Bestie!!

Have A Rockin Bday!

have a ROCKIN' birthday!  Well, this reminds me of so many people!  My bestie is one but her birthday was last weekend!  I used a Digi's with Attitude image along with a Critter Sketch to make a rockin' card!  Fairly simple but love the way it came out - used my nesties - I'd printed this rocker some time ago and hadn't used her - so today's the day!!  I went a little crazy with 4 nestie cuts - One out of the box and the others regular with some embossing (dry).  The embellishment is a treble clef from music sheets!  I just loved it and thought it fit!  Well, hope you like her - I do!

Girly!!

Ok - time to join the fun at Amber's Crafts and Stuff.  The challenge is to try a new techique - well I decided to use the handmade flower technique.  This was a simple but fun challenge - there were a few places asking for flowers and girly - Well, I can do it all!!  I made the flower with the rounded cornered square - some glitter and a few leaves to match the pallet.  I colored the image according to the cupcakes in the cupcake inspirations blog and Love the simplicity of it!  

No go on over to Amber's Crafts and Stuff Challenge and show us a new technique - we're all up to learning something new or show us a twist on something you can do ..... above all, this is all about the fun so....HAVE FUN!!!

Smile

Smile!  Is that one of the best sentiments ever.  I actually had a tag without a hole - so that wouldn't be a charm - but I changed it and punched a hole with my Crop-a-dile and made it a charm.  It's perfect for this pink icecream eating diva!  Kenny K has the best images.  I'm thinking i'm gonna get me some more.  There are way too many great ones - so many digis - so little time!!

Cupcake Fairy

Is she just the cutest little cupcake fairy?  I decided to try the tri-pocket card - a little complicated at first (as is most new concepts).  But - I so loved it - This is definitely not one of those simple cards.  Nothing complicated - just a lot of stuff- buttons, bows, charms, ribbon and a cherry on top!  This was a Whoopsi Daisy challenge and I thought I'd combine it with One Stitch at a time.

Circle of Friends

I so love this image - i've only used it a couple of times and both times - I fall in love with the image again!!  This is a Kenny K's image and the challenge was a sketch.  I combined the challenge (of course) with another - colors - pink, brown and blue and add a charming twist.  Well, I so hope you like my card because I really do!

Take me to the Beach!

Ok - the challenge at Digi's With Attitude is....where would you like to be??  I chose to use Beach Tween - I'd like to be at the beach.  Ok - when I lived there - I didn't wanna' be there but now that I don't - take me back!!!!  We're never happy, eh?  I think that's what keeps life interesting - we're always on the quest for something new!  That's my perception anyway.  I decided to make a little beach bag with the beach tween.  All teens seem to wanna' be laying around, doing either nothing or not much!!!  That's part of being a teen - so, kids get it out of your system now!  Tee Hee!! Anyway, I used the cricut - as always on Tag, Bags, Boxes and More to cut this little beach bag (purse).  I tied a bow and Bam!  She's on her way to the beach.  Hope you enjoy my post and go on over to Digi's with Attitude Blog and check out the design team's posts - they are definitely inspirational and then it's your turn to post at the website to win a digi! http://digiswithattitudechallenges.blogspot.com/ You'll have fun coloring - they are detailed, yet simple enough.  Enjoy and get going...Oh and don't forget to leave a comment and let me know what you're thinking -- even if it's about the teen in your life!!  Love to hear from you

A tribute to Miss Piggy

I so love this digi from Phindy's Place - it so reminds me of Miss Piggy - I had a couple challenges - Phindy's monochromatic (I'm so into those) along with animals, sketch, cartoons, etc.  I used some bling on the DCWV paper - the background has a pop of a bit of neutral brown and beige .... the rest is all the pink!!!  Think pink, eh???

Have a heart!

This is a simple (kinda) card.  It's a fairy on a heart.   The sentiment is very subtle - Cherish.  I just love this paper from making memories and love the digis from Whoopsi.  The heart is from Indie Art on my Cricut - I love the simplicity and love the softness of the image - I hope you love her also.

X Marks the spot!

I have wanted to make one of these for a while -- well, I decided to make this finally.  Wow - I used the tutorial on Split Coast!!  Wow - so incredibly easy!!  I so loved it - I'm not sure I'll post them - but I was on a roll after this one - I used the bugaboo image for this book mark.  This is for my mama and she's always been a seamstress, crocheter, etc.  I guess that's where I got the crafty thing from.  She used to do a lot of this stuff to make extra $ because she was a stay at home mom - but that's what most moms did in the 60's.  I had a good time making this - my mama is an avid reader and i believe she'll get a kick out of this!! 

Challenge - Catch the Bug!,

Sisters

Of course, I had to make the taller the brunette and the shorter the blond - wondering why - I'm a bit taller and older than my little sister - and....she's a blond.  Too fun - I so loved this digi when I saw it - it was so cute and made me think of my sister.  Everyone should have a sister!!!  Mine is the best!  So...you can't have hers.  We are so different and yet so alike!  I love the color challenge that I followed and loosely the sketch -- added some buttons and Bam!!  A sisters TENT card!!!
