Lounging Penguins

I was determined to make this card today using my Art Impressions "Lounging Penguins" stamp.
The layout is a sketch from Sketch Saturday.  Even though the card is 5.5 square the stamp was a little bit too large to get the wide border like the sketch for the embellishments, but it worked out after a lot of changing paper sizes. That's why it's called a challenge, right?

Brown

This week the Kenny K's Challenge is to use Brown. I made this card using Frieda Flapper digi stamp.She's so happy and a little bit sassy. I just love her.

At Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge  you need to use your favorite embellishment . Mine is GEMSTONES.

Have a great day! :)

Love to Create- Birthdays

Ribbons/Bows

Happy Friday! I finally finished a card I've needed to make for a friend's new baby. I am ashamed to say he is already 2 months old, but anyway here it is. I'll enter it in Mo's Ribbons/Bows Challenge this week. I used her precious image Spit Happens and colored it with Prisma pencils. The paper is from an old Paper Studio paper pack called "Baby Boy".  The sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michael's.  I used my Cricut to make the rattle ( New Arrival) and the bottle (Doodlecharm). Both bottles are covered with Glossy Accents. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!!

Miss You

Happy Tuesday...I've really had a time with my finger but after getting a steroid injection I can bend it again! Hopefully it won't flare up  and I can get some crafting done.  I made this card for the "Lovely Layers" challenge at Mo's Digital Pencil. The image is called  "I Forgot"

and I think it is the sweetest thing. I thought he was perfect for the color inspiration photo challenge at Cupcake Craft's Challenge.  He's even got a little daisy in his mouth. Thanks for looking!

Snowbaby Christmas

Happy Monday! I just finished this card for the " Anything Goes w/ Mo Image Challenge"  at Mo's Digital Pencil.   I used "Kai in the Snow" and colored him with Copics. The snow is Polar White Flower Soft. Michael's had a  Recollections " All Seasons" 6x6 paper pad for $3.49 last week.   60 sheets of really cute paper for each month of the year. I used 3 sheets of the January paper for this card. The icicles are a MS punch with "Icicle" Stickles added.  The snowflakes are a Cuttlebug die cut from white foam.  I'm not sure I like the sentiment color now that I see it in the photo.  I may have to change that.  Thanks for looking...have a great day!

Wedding Card

Happy Thursday!  I never seem to have any pretty paper for wedding cards.  When I saw this sketch from the Pink Elephant Challenge I thought it would be perfect for a neutral/embossed wedding card. It was super easy to make using my Cuttlebug, some pearls, Stickles on the hearts, and a border punch. The rings are from Hobby Lobby's Bridal section. I think this sketch would be nice for sympathy cards too with maybe a sentiment on the circle or a flower. Thank you for coming by and have a great day!
