Fab New Hair Do -- for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends

 It's the first Sunday of the month, so that means a new challenge is getting underway at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends! The challenges are always Anything Goes, and they last for a whole month -- so plenty of time!  

This month, we have the awesome sponsor, All Dressed Up Stamps! I could color up any number of wonderful images in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop, but for this challenge, I chose the fabulous New Hair Do!

I colored up New Hair Do with Copic markers.  The papers are from AMB Illustrations.  The sentiment is computer generated.

I hope you join us this month at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends for our Anything Goes Challenge. We have wonderful sponsors -- like All Dressed Up Stamps! 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Passion for Markers -- Use a Circle (sequins, dotty paper)

Colour Crazy Challenge -- ATG

D.L. Art -- March Linky Party

Polkadoodle Challenge -- ATG

Dance With All Your Heart -- For Cute Card Thursday

 Cute Card Thursday has an Anything Goes Challenge going on -- always a favorite! Our sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps (one of my favorites). When I saw this darling Bashful Ballerina, I just knew I had to color her up!

I colored the Bashful Ballerina with Copic markers, then used a set of dies from the Stamps of Life to make the card.  The papers on the card are by We Are 3 Digital Shop.  They are the Muddy Paws papers. The sentiment was computer generated.

The anything goes challenge at Cute Card Thursday will go all week!  I hope to see you linked up!

Spring Jasmine -- For Ching-Chou Kuik's March Challenge

 It's March, and a new challenge just got underway over on the Ching Chou Kuik Inspiration & Challenge Blog.  The challenge has the theme this month of Easter &/or Florals, and it will the whole month of March.

I used the beautiful Spring Jasmine for this month's challenge:

This gorgeous little fairy girl is a black & white image that I colored with Copic markers. Then, I went looking for pretty dies and papers to construct the card.  The dies are by Crafter's Companion.  That pretty paper is by We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It's one of the new Sweetness Papers. The rabbit die cut is from my stash, but I think it's from Peachy Cheap. The sentiment is computer generated, and placed on a banner by Crafter's Companion.

You have all month to link up to our Easter/Floral challenge.  There is also a challenge in the CCK Facebook Group, along with great inspiration both on Ching-Chou Kuik Challenge & Inspiration blog and in the group.  Check back often!

Fabulous -- for SheepSki Designs

 It's the first of the month, and it's time for a new challenge over on the SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog. The challenge runs all month and has the theme of "Girls, Girls, Girls".  You can find many wonderful images that fit this theme in the SheepSki Designs Etsy Shop.

I used the wonderful Shopping in Yorkshire for today's inspiration:

I colored Shopping in Yorkshire with Copic markers.  Then, I inked a background with Spectrum Noir Harmony Water Reactive Inks.  That brick die is a card creator die by Crafter's Companion. The 'Fabulous' sentiment is a die by Frantic Stamper. 

You have all month to join us at SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog for our 'Girls, Girls, Girls' challenge, so I really hope you do!  I'd love to see what you create!

I {Heart} Dogs -- for All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's March (already!) and we're starting a new challenge in the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Group.  Thanks to all of you who entered last month's challenge!  This month, the theme is "Cute Critters", and although you will find many cute critters in the All Dressed Up Stamps Etsy Shop,  few, in my opinion, are cuter than this digital creation called, I Heart Dogs.

I colored I Heart Dogs with Copic markers, then used a slimline die to cut it out.  It's by Tutti Designs, as it the heart framed slimline die.  I got both of them at the Dies R Us Store. The stitched heart dies are by Lawn Fawn, also purchased in the Dies R Us Store. 

"Cute Critters" --its a great theme, and one you can have a great time creating with!  Join us this month for the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Challenge!

Happy Easter! For Dies R Us Challenges

 It's March 1 (already!), and that means it's the start of a new challenge at Dies R Us Challenges.  The challenge will run for 12 weeks, with the next one beginning March 15.  They are always Anything Goes, as long as you use a die from a brand sold in the Dies R Us Store. They sell lots & lots of dies (plus stamps and others great supplies!) so this is very easy to do!

Easter is not that far away, so I thought it was time to get a start on my Easter cards.  Besides, we are in the middle of an Arctic cold snap, and I need some bright Springtime colors in my life 😀.  Here's what I created for today's challenge: 

I started by inking my background.  I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks found in the Dies R Us Store.  The rabbit focal point of the card is called Bunny Silhouette, and is by Memory Box. The frame is called Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles Frames.  The sentiment is a Memory Box Mini Vintage Varsity Happy Spring.

I hope you share your creativity and join us for our Anything Goes challenge At Dies R Us Challenges. You can win a gift certificate, and 3 Designer Choice awards will be given each challenge.

I want to let you know that the Dies R Us Inspiration team is having a DT call.  It's a great company to design for, and a fun team to be on.  Here's all the details, if you are interested!

For our Canadian friends, check out the Didi Crafts Store.  You'll find wonderful products and reasonable shipping rates.

Up, Up & Away -- For Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges

 It's the first Monday of the month, so a new challenges starts today at Jan's Digi Stamps Challenges.  The challenge is always Anything Goes, and will run until April 4 (which happens to be Easter). 

Jan has a new released set that I happen to love.  It is uplifting, and appropriate for many occasions.  The set is called Up, Up, Away.   It has several images and quite a few sentiments. Here's what I created with one of the precolored images:

Isn't it adorable! I printed the Up, Up, Away image onto a piece of paper from We Are 3 Digital Shop.  It's one of the Rainy Days papers.  The sentiment is also from the Up, Up, Away set. 

I hope you join us this month at JDS Challenges for our Anything Goes event.  We've got great prizes that you could win!
