Dustin Pike - It's a Dudley Kind of Day Challenge

Good Morning everyone!  I can't believe I'm on week 3 of being able to play along with yet another challenge over at Dustin's blog.  This week's challenge is to use one of the many cool Dudley images, so I had to to see what I had and this is what I came up with :)

 I struggle with masculine cards but I like how it's simple and focus' on Dudley.   I can't wait to see what challenge is next :)

Sketches by Carly - Sketch #53

I am very excited to be doing this post as it is my first post with Sketches by Carly.  If you have never heard of Sketches by Carly, go here and find out a little more about this talented little girl.  I had applied for the team during the call but didn't get picked, however the other day Kris emailed me and I had to say yes!!  So for today's sketch, Carly created a fun one for you :)

and here is my card using the above sketch:

The image is from Inky Impressions and the papers are from Bo Bunny

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It's my day over on the I Brake for Stamps blog.   My card today uses Bath Tub Shy Bear.  I just absolutely adore these little shy bears and can't wait to use more of them :)  To me (and I'm sure a lot of you as well), a bubble bath just screams relaxation especially with little one's running around

Inky Impressions - My Pot of Gold

I thought I'd play along with this week's challenge over at Inky Impressions which the theme is My Pot of Gold. I figured I'd use this adorable pot of gold stamp from Inky that I have never inked up (shocking I know).

Anyway here is my card:

Easter Card

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s my turn over at I Brake for Stamps to share with everyone and I  just love this adorable floppy ear bunny and had to use her again for this week's card. I promise next week I'll break out a different image :)

Dustin Pike - Card for Emily

I am very happy to be able to help Dustin out with this and send a card to one  amazing little girl name Emily.  Here is a little about Emily (taken from Dustin's blog):

A little 7 year old girl by the name of Emily has been fighting leukemia since before December of 2011.   She has had to endure more pain in one year then most adults in their entire life.  She has gone from Leukemia to Rotavirus, to pancreatitis, to kidney stones then to shingles, not to mention over 300 pokes in her little tiny body.  From chemo to blood draws to feeding tubes.  She has definitely had her ups and her downs.
 You can read about Emily and her progress on her Aunts blog HERE.  Please refer to the link for all updates on Emily.


And here is my card that I will be sending out to her on Monday :)

If you would like to send her a card, please refer to here

Dustin Pike - My Life is a Zoo challenge

Another week of being able to play along with the challenges over on Dustin's blog.  I'm happy to finally be able to play along as I've been a fan of Dustin's for a very long time but never had a chance to play along in their challenges.  This week their challenge is "My Life is a Zoo"

Here is my card for this week's challenge, I went with some bright colors and used this weeks sketch from Sketches by Carly :)

Inky Impressions - Winter fun

Hi Everyone!  sorry for the gap between posts here but I have decided to step down from all but a couple design teams to spend more time with my family.  I felt like I wasn't giving them the attention they deserve and I'm watching my little girl grow up way to fast :(  Anyway, I'll still be making cards and will actually have some "just for fun" ones as well, just like this one :)

The image is from Inky Impressions and it's one of the few that I never inked up.  We're just barely starting to have our winter here (if that's what you want to call it) so I figured this was the perfect image to use :)

This card was entered into the following challenges:

Clearly Inspired - Week 2, Anything
Hotshot Crafts –  Ribbon
Totally Papercrafts – Favorite Things
Charisma Cardz - Ribbon, ribbon, ribbon
Paper Crafting Journey - Anything made with paper goes

Anyway, here is my card.  I just love the adorable fairy bear sitting on the flower :) My card is being entered into their bling it up challenge
