I Love to be Carefree!

It's summer - that carefree time of year.  I made this card this afternoon, and would like to enter it in a couple challenges.

This image is this month's freebie from Sasayaki Glitter.  It's called Baby Seals.  I colored it with Copic markers.

I used a sketch from this week's Wednesday sketch challenge at The Outlawz.

I used oval dies from Die-namics and star dies from Spellbinders.  Papers are from Echo Park.  The glimmer trim is from Close To My Heart.

Turtle-y Awesome -- Sasayaki Glitter Progressive Challenge

It's Thursday, and the weather here in NW Wisconsin has been turtle-y awesome this week!  It's also turtle nesting season, so my dog, Gracie, and I are helping the turtles safely across our road whenever we see them.  Slow down, cars!  Let me cross!

Speaking of turtles, this month's progressive challenge in the Sasayaki Glitter Facebook Group has a turtle-y awesome celebration image.  The image is a new release this month called Birthday Turtle.  

Here, take a look:

I colored Birthday Turtle with Copic markers, then used a sketch from this week's The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge to put the card together.  The papers are some old, old, old My Mind's Eye.  Remember the Alphabet Soup collection?  The sentiment was computer generated.  

That's it for me today.  Time to quit playing and get some work done!

Birthday Wishes -- Sasayaki Glitter Progressive Challenge

It's Saturday, and with a high temperature of only 55 degrees, I did some yard work today, some house work, but also found some time for crafting.  I finished this card I started last weekend, and plan to enter it in a few challenges:

The image is the May progressive Freebie image from Sasayaki Glitter. It's image #158, Mia Wants to Say Happy Birthday.  I colored it with Copic markers.

I used a sketch from this week's challenge at The Outlawz Wednesday Sketch Challenge. 

The papers on the card are from Photo Play.  The circle dies are from Craftin' Desert Divas.  The tag die and sentiment are from Paper Wishes.  These a teeny bit of Timeless Twine, and some glimmer trim from Close To My Heart.

Always be Brave Enough to Fly!

Happy Tuesday, crafty friends!  I have a card today that I'm entering in several challenges.  It uses this week's sketch from The Outlawz Sketch Challenge, and the current Sasayaki Glitter Progressive Freebie.  I just loved this little guy, and had to jump into the progressive challenge, found in the Sasayaki Glitter Facebook Group.

Naz is also looking for guest designers in May.  Now that I'm recovered from cancer, chemo, and my most recent bronchitis infection, I'm crafting with a passion again, and would love the chance to once again design with the wonderful Sasayaki Glitter images I loved from the past.  So, I'll try for a chance at that, too!

I made this card using the darling, Missing You digi:

I colored Missing You with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Rubbernecker Stamps, and seemed perfect for this image.  Papers are from Close To My Heart.  The stitched frame is from Lawn Fawn.

Hippity Hoppity -- for Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps

It's Thursday, and it's time for a new Facebook challenge for Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamps.  The challenges are always anything goes -- as long as you use a Sasayaki Glitter Digi. 

Since we're so close to Easter, I decided to go with an Easter theme:

This is Bunny on Mushroom, colored with Copic markers.  Of course, it doesn't have to be an Easter themed digi -- it could be spring, summer, fall, whatever, depending on the colors you use and the background you create.

I made this an Easter card by using an The Cutting Cafe  egg-shaped card cutting file, and the grass-shaped card cutting file..  Papers for this card -- Doodlebug Bunnyville 6x6 -- can be found in The Cutting Cafe Shop.  The sentiment, stamped several times across the bottom of this card, is also from The Cutting Cafe Shop. 

I hope you can join in for our Sasayaki Glitter Facebook Challenge.  It goes for a month, and as mentioned earlier, it's anything goes.  Just use one of the many adorable Sasayaki Glitter images.  Have fun!  There's an Easter challenge going on on the challenge blog.  Enter it, too!
