Cupid's Heart -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

All Dressed Up Stamps and Kit and Clowder are having a joint event, and you get the prize.  This new release image from All Dressed Up Stamps is free. All you need to do to get it is join the Kit and Clowder group and the All Dressed Up Facebook Group, and the image is yours.  If you color it up this month, you can enter it in the All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge and in the All Dressed Up Blog Challenge.  You could win more ADU stamps!

Here's the adorable "Cupid's Heart", all colored up:

Since this card is for Valentine's Day, I just wanted to color her in shades of pink, and then I couldn't resist using my favorite teal colors.  Isn't she awesome?  It's certainly worth a visit to both the Kit and Clowder Group and the All Dressed Up Group to pick her up for free. 

I colored Cupid's Heart with Copic markers. The sentiment is computer generated and printed on paper by We Are 3 Digital Shop.  Both designer papers on this card are from the Romantic Hearts papers.  The stitched heart dies are by Close To My Heart and are cut out on metallic matte gold paper from Anna Griffin. The layer of gold mat behind Cupid's Heart is the same paper. 

I hope you join the fun event going on with All Dressed Up Stamps! This stamp is free until February 14th.  After that it will be for sale in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop.

Best Friends Forever -- for Bugaboo Stamps

It's Saturday, and every Saturday there is a new challenge at Catch the Bug Challenges, using Bugaboo Stamps. Today's challenge will go for one week, and the theme is "Child's Play".  There are many wonderful digis in the Bugaboo Stamps store that would work for that theme! 

One of my best friends moved across the country several years ago, and I try to send her a card every week. I make many friendship cards with her in mind. This card is one that will be winging it's way to Idaho very soon!

This Bugaboo Stamp is called AKV Sketchy Girls.  It comes in a black & white version and a pre-colored version.  I used the pre-colored version here.

The sentiment was computer generated, and felt like it needed to be tucked in right between those two BFF's!

Papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop. The blue background paper is one of the papers in the Watercolor Batik collection.  The dotted paper is from the Peppermint collection.

I hope you can join us this at Catch the Bug Challenges for our Child's Play Challenge!  We've got great prizes, and I'd love to see what you make!

Take Time for.... For Bugaboo Stamps

Did you know that Monday was "Feed the Birds Day"?  You didn't?  Well, such things are celebrated over on the Catch the Bug Blog! It's Humor Me Wednesday, when all sorts of wacky (and sometimes serious) days are made note of.  My husband and I enjoy feeding birds -- and squirrels, and deer, and rabbits, and sometimes even inadvertently raccoons and bear!  So, in honor of Feed the Birds Day, here's a little inspiration for you, using a Bugaboo Stamps image, of course!

This digi stamp is called Snowman and birds (no surprise there!), and I colored Snowman and Birds with Copic markers. The sentiment is from a Stampendous acrylic set that I have. The snowflakes are dies from Lawn Fawn.

I used this week's sketch at Sketch Saturday to complete the card. Here's the sketch:

Designer papers on this card are from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are 2 papers from  the Shabby Christmas Collection.

I  hope you visit the Catch the Bug Blog to see what the other talented designer are celebrating today.  It's bound to be entertaining!  Then, do some shopping at Bugaboo Stamps, including picking up yesterday's New Release for 1/2 price!

Live Laugh Love Fairy -- A New Release at Bugaboo Stamps

It's Tuesday, and that's New Release, or in some case, an old release  is put in the new store as a re-release every Tuesday. For the whole week, the New Release can be yours for 1/2 price!  It's a great way to grow your Bugaboo Stamps collection!

Today's New Release is Live Love Laugh Flower Fairy. I decided to get inky with it and created this:

I  used Spectrum Noir Harmony inks and life changing brushes from Picket Fence to create this look.  The dies are by Spellbinders and made creating this shaped card quite easy.

The designer papers are newly released from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  I used 2 of the papers from the Fairy Tale Collection.

Jump on over to the Bugaboo Stamp Store to get this new release, then stop by the Catch the Bug Blog to see what the other talented designers made with it.  Color or ink it up yourself and enter it in this week's challenge, and you could win even more Bugaboo images!

Key to my Heart -- for Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges

Here we are the first Monday in February already.  I'm always glad to get the cold month of January behind us!  Since it's the first Monday of the month, it's time for a new challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges, where the challenges are always Anything Goes. 

The Turner Syndrome Foundation Bog Hop is going on right now with TONS of great prizes.  The stamp set I'm using today was designed by Jan, and 100% (!) of the proceeds of the sale of this set goes to the Turner Syndrome Foundation. 

This set is called The TSF Key Set and it's only $2.  It comes with several beautiful key images, several wonderful butterfly images, and 4 different sentiments.  Images are both black & white and colored. I used one of the colored versions here.

I printed the image so it would fit on my heart-shaped handled bag, then inked around the edges of the stitched oval die cut before I cut it out.  The sentiment (also from the TSF Key set) was printed on colored yardstick, then cut out with a small circle label die.

The bag is a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store and cut out on my Silhouette Cameo 3. 

The pretty background paper is from We Are 3 Digital Shop.   It is one of the papers in the Tea Time Collection.

I hope you can join us the next 2 week at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges. One lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the JDS Store!

You are Ear-resistable! for SheepSki Designs

February 1!  The start of a new month, and the start of a new challenge at SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog! The challenge will run all month, and the theme is hearts &/or flowers.

I love wildlife.  We live in a very wooded area, and can see deer, fox, rabbits, even bear on any given day.  I'm quite sure that Rocket & Rosie met and fell in love right in my front yard!

I colored Rocket & Rosie with Copic markers.  The sentiment is part of an acrylic stamp set from Technique Tuesday that seemed th fit these 2 very well!

I made the heart shaped card base from a heart shaped die and a background paper from AMB Illustrations.  Both heart shaped dies and the small ones used for embellishments are from a company no longer in business.

Hearts &/or flowers.  Its a great theme for February, and you'll find many wonderful images that fit this theme in the SheepSki Designs Etsy Shop.   Color one up and enter the blog challenge.  You'll find another monthly challenge in the SheepSki Designs Facebook Group.

Love My Pets -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

It's the start of a new month, and it's the start of a new challenge in the All Dressed Up Facebook Group. Since this is February, the theme is, appropriately enough, "Love Is".  Interpret that any way you want!

Love, to me is spending time with my dog.  I  love animals.  So, I jumped at the chance to color up this darling image found in the All Dressed Up Etsy Shop:

This is Love My Pets, colored with Copic markers.  The first pet I ever had was a rabbit, so this really tugs at my heart strings! And one of my favorite colors is blue, so I'm quite sure I had an outfit just like this when I was young!

Papers on this card are from AMB Illustrations.  The heart dies are from my stash.  I'm sorry, I don't know what company they are (I have too many dies!!!!).

I hope you can join us this month for our Love Is challenge.  You can win some of Wendy's wonderful digis.  You'll find many digis that will fit this theme, and there are many ways to interpret it.  Check out the All Dressed Up Etsy Shop here.
