Oh, Baby -- for Crafty Sentiments Designs

It's time for a new challenge over at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge Blog.  For the next 2 weeks, the theme is "Baby".  We all need baby cards at some point, so it's a good chance to get ahead in the card-making!

Here's mine:

I used Crafty Sentiments Designs rubber stamp, "Lucy & Tiddles" on this card.  I colored the stamped image with Copic markers.  The sentiment is a stamp from Craftin' Desert Divas -- "Simply Said" set. The rocking card is a cutting file, found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The card base is from Close To My heart.  The designer papers are from Echo Park.  The tie dye crinkle ribbon is 3 Girl JAM. 

Please join us at Crafty Sentiments Challenge blog for our Baby challenge.  We have great prizes, and I'd so love to see what you create!

Oh So Pretty! for The East Wind

There's another New Release today at The East Wind. I probably say this every time, but I just LOVE today's digi!  She's just so. much. FUN!

This image is called, 'Double Eyelashes'.  She was, of course, a delight to color! I colored 'Double Eyelashes' with Copic markers and Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils, then fussy cut the image.  I placed her on a center step card by Stephanie Bernhard/Sizzix.  The papers are from Simple Stories.  the baker's twine is Timeless Twine.  The sentiment is from Close To My Heart.

Visit The East Wind's Facebook group to see what other design team member's have done with this FUN image!

Splash! for QKR Stampede

This week, for the QKR Stampede challenge, we're going swimming.  Some, more than others, like to make a statement in their bathing suits.  This "little" cutie by QKR Stampede would make a statement on ANY beach, I think!

Maybe it's those painted red toenails, but I certainly think you'd see this beauty coming.  She'd make quite a splash, don't you think?  Can you say "cannonball"?  This sweet image is QKR Stampede digi, Hippo (digi602).  I colored the little darling with Copic markers.  Designer papers are from Echo Park, as is the sentiment. 

Join us this week at QKR Stampede with your version of "Swimming".  I'd love to see what you make!

It's all Aboat the Good Times -- for Crafty Sentiments

I'm excited!  It's another new release day today at Crafty Sentiments Designs, and today's rubber stamp was soooo much FUN!!   This month, the new releases are all about Josh.  Today, I'm debuting 'Josh in his Boat':

This rubber stamp is big, and fun to color!  I colored Josh in his Boat with Copic markers, then used a Banner Die cut Set from Craftin' Desert Divas to construct the rest of the card.  The papers are from Authentique.  They have a definite nautical flair to them.  The compass charm is from Tim Holtz. The sentiment is from Joy's Life Pun in the Sun.

Check out the Crafty Sentiments Inspirations blog this week to see all the New Releases.  They are so delightful!  I can't wait to get my hands on ALL of them!  The rubber stamps will be available in the Crafty Sentiments Designs Store on August 23. 

Berry Special Treats -- for Snapdragon Snippets

It's getting to the end of strawberry season where I live.  Darn!  It's one of my favorite seasons of the year.  In honor of the sweet berries, I made these projects, from Snapdragon Snippets. This is the Hearts Mini Handle Favor Basket from the Snapdragon Snippets Store.  It's available here in the Silhouette Design Store.  I modified the design slightly, adding the Heart Strawberry design instead of the original heart.

I made two of these berry baskets, for two good friends, filling them with my second most favorite treat -- chocolate! 

Here's a close up of the strawberry shaped heart:

I also made  2 cards with the strawberry theme.  This is found in the Silhouette store here and in the Snapdragon Snippets Store HERE. Here's card 1-

and card 2 -

Papers and stamps for these projects are all from Close To My Heart. 
Check out the Snapdragon Snippets blog for lots of great inspiration from this talented team!

Everything's Coming up Daisies

I'm posting today for the Inspiration Destination Challenge Blog (IDCB).  One of our sponsors this week is a favorite of mine -- Eureka Stamps.  I was on their design team for a year, and I enjoy their images and sentiments very much.  I had fun working with these two!

I used Daisy Bouquet (digi9201)and Coming up Daisies (digi14504).  I colored Daisy Bouquet using Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils on Kraft paper.  The card stock is from Close To My Heart.  The crinkle ribbon is 3 Girl JAM. The bling is from my stash.

Swimming by to say Hi -- for Crafty Sentiments Designs

There are new releases today at Crafty Sentiments Designs. I always get excited for new releases!  The images are so much fun to work with.  I'm never sure what I'll get, but they are always a delight!  Today is no exception!

Meet Josh - Underwater...

How's that for fun?  Doesn't Josh - Underwater look like he's having a great time?  I love that happy expression on his face!  He was so much FUN to color, with that mask on (good practice for 'opaque').  

The fun porthole card shape is a cutting file from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. I thought it was a great fit for my "Josh-Underwater" rubber stamp.  The sentiment is from Joy's Life. The new releases started yesterday on the Crafty Sentiments Inspirations blog. There is another new release today, plus new releases the next few days, so check the Crafty Sentiments Inspiration blog to see them all, plus the wonderful creations with them from the design team.
