wanna SF sneekie peekie?

Well, I won the challenge over at Squigglefly last week--and got to choose one of the images, or a surprise image. I loved several of the images in their last release, but I went for the surprise image. I LOVE this little gal--she is just SO ADORABLE!! So, I  can show a sneek peek, but I do have to let you know that she won't be available until this next Saturday. Her name is sweet girl--how appropriate!! She is drawn by Squigglefly's Paulette Long.And this charm is one that the talented Marlene sent me! Thanks again Marlene!

Thank You Squigglelfy! By the way they also have a new challenge going on over at their challenge blog-which is to use WORDS--check it out.

Bee Crafty Challenge

Hi all! I got a couple minutes today to make a card--this is a free image available over at BEE CRAFTY. They have a challenge going on to make an Easter Card/or Craft Item. I have used their free image for this card--isn't it an adorable image?!! I have used digital  DP's from Pink Petticoat, a few embellishments, and my SU corner punch. Hope you like it-I am off to put it away BEFORE I clean the stamp that I used for the sentiment! Heehee!!

Has this ever happened to you?

I am soooo bummed! I made this card yesterday-and then remembered my camcorders battery was dead, so I put the card up where I would normally take the pic and proceeded to clean my work desk up--which included cleaning several stamps my daughter and I had used! Well, I didn't notice until I went to take the pic---but while I had been cleaning my stamps-the water splattered and I ruined my card! I thought I would show it to you anyway--just try to ignore all the spots. I sure will be more careful next time!
For this card I used several files from THE CUTTING CAFE- the new CLOUD NESTING FRAMES, for a template, and the flowers from EASTER SET 2, and the sun from ONE SPRING DAY. I had watched a video in the last couple days of how to ink these clouds like this--and I am SO SORRY that I can not remember which blog--if anyone knows please let me know--so I can give credit where it is deserved!
I also used a Peachy Keen stamp for the face on the sun, and a SU stamp for the sentiment. Have a GREAT SUNDAY!

Ready for SPRING!!

 I got the chance to make several cards today--whoohoo! I am still trying to figure out how to use my camcorder for new camera--so please be patient with my picture quality! This first one I tried the same technique I had tried last night with the tissue paper over the image. The stamp I used is from one of my new SU stamp sets..very springlike..EASTER BLOSSOMS. I also added a few embellies-and inked up the edges.

The second one I have used a flower from of the newest set of files from THE CUTTING CAFE-One Spring Day, which features over 90 images!! Including the cute little sentiment I have used. I used an Su Butterfly punch and added some ebellies and ribbon to the card as well.

The third card I made today also uses files from THE CUTTING CAFE-EASTER SET 3 -for these three cute little chicks! Again using the Butterfly punch and also the frame punch for the sentiment-a few embellies and another spring like card!

I am entering this last one in the challenge over at Serenity Scrappers--which is to use at least two pastel colors. Make sure to check it out--there is a prize to be won!
Hope you have a great night!

FRESHLY BREWED DESIGNS CHALLENGE

Hi all! Today is another new challenge from our team over at FRESH BREWED DESIGNS-and this week the challenge is food orientated.
So, the image I have used today is: OLIVE YOU (I LOVE YOU). He is found in the FUN FOODS Section.
On the inside I used the sentiment that goes with this little guy-it says: OLIVE YOU
I have used my Make The Cut to cut this little fella out and made HIM the CARD!! Again-please forgive the photo--my camera went kapoot on me!! Let me know what you think!

Squigglefly challenge

The Squigglefly challenge this week was to make a card with homemade patterned papers.
I tried....am not happy with the results-but will have to give it another try. I used the image Dandelion, and put several of the images on my work processor-I then printed it out and colored it a little bit--then covered with tissue paper. My tissue paper did not stick as well as it should have--because my ink was starting to smear with the glue--so I used too little of it--thus the reason I will have to try it again someday! Next time I will allow time for my ink to dry completely before I use the glue. The other image is also from Squigglefly--and is Make a Wish. She is one of my fav's---it is so hard not to have lots and lots of fav's with all the great images SF has!! Thanks for the great challenge gals--I wouldn't have tried this other-wise!!

Cutting Cafe Apple card with sentiments from Marlene

I am sorry about the poor picture quality of my card today--my regular camera will suddenly not work! I think it is actually the disk- I have had it for about 7/8 years, and it keeps saying it needs to be formatted, but my computer keeps telling me it can't format it!! So I have had to use a camera I am not sure how to work! I have made this card with files from THE CUTTING CAFE-Apple shaped Card--isn't this apple yummy!!?!! I have also used sentiments that were FREE from MARLENE! I hope to be back later with better pics!  OH-and here is the inside!
Have a great day! I am off to help out at my daughters school!
