Melonheadz Friends Flowers challenge

This week's challenge is flowers - lots of flowers! Pile them on...layer them on....throw them on! Just use lots of them. :) I used just one flower, from the Monthly Clipart set. Here's my card for this challenge.

After I resized them, I printed two sets so I could layer them. I used foam tape on just a few to add dimension. The sentiment is computer generated using the KG Melonheadz font.

Join us for this challenge and you could win a digi set hand drawn by Nikki Melonheadz herself!

Melonheadz Friends "Layer it up" Challenge

Layer up on layer...layering is a fun way to add lots of interest to a card, and this week's Melonheadz Friends challenge is to add lots of layers. Here's my card.

I used the super cute Nautical digi set for my design. The super cute anchor and life preserver are perfect for my card design.

I layered them with foam tape for extra dimension and one more layer. Cute!

The rope adds to the nautical feel. For more details and products I used today, see list below.

Thank you for checking out my cute card. I hope you'll join me and the rest of the Melonheadz team for this challenge.

My Favorite Things, Sketch 270

Sketches are my favorite. 

I used several My Favorite Things goodies to create my card for this week's sketch. The tag is from the Blueprints Tag builders 1 die set, all the blooms dies and stamps are from the super fun Fall Florals stamps and dies sets, and the sentiment is from the adorable You Gnome Me stamp set. Oh yeah, the chevron cut-outs are also My Favorite Things dies, called Peek-a-boo Chevrons, and the splatter background is Distressed Patterns. Yes, also by My Favorite Things!  

These fall florals blooms are so much fun to play with. You can mix and match stamps and colors with the coordinating dies, or stamp directly onto your project as I did for the background of my tag. I even did a little doodling after I stamped.

Melonheadz "include an animal" Challenge

Welcome to a new challenge! I hope you will join me and the rest of the Melonheadz Design Team and share your cute animal project. You could win super cute digis by Melonheadz and wouldn't that be awesome!? :) I made two cards this week - it was so hard to just choose one animal to play with!

For the first card, I used this mama sheep from the Barnyard Babies set. Love her fluffy wool coat! I used soft colored papers from one of Heidi Swapp's 6x8 memory planner paper pads, and the gray stripe from the 6x6 Smitten print papers by My Favorite Things. The tufts of grass and the grassy hill stamps are by My Favorite Things as well.

You probably already know how much I love a good pun....the inside message I made up myself (kinda proud LOL).

The stitched ovals are dies by My Creative Time, and the little sheep is by My Favorite Things.

For my second card I went with this sea turtle from the Ocean Life set. Yes, I made up this pun too. :) And not only is he turtley adorbs...

...he is also on an action wobble!!! See him wiggle?! So fun, right!

Inside I made a super cute under the sea scene with the same little turtle on a pop up. The sand is sandpaper! For real! I love using sandpaper on beachy projects.

My Favorite Things Color Challenge #40

UPDATE: Thanks so very much to the My Favorite Things team for picking my card as the winner of this challenge! :) 

Color challenge #40. What a lovely color combination!!! I apologize that the spearmint green shade in my design ended up mostly covered up. I didn't even realize it until I looked at the pictures. It's there, you just have to look for it. Sorry!

For my card, I used several MFT sets; modern blooms, mini modern blooms, and fall florals (store link in product list below).

For the grungy background and sentiment message I heat embossed with platinum embossing powder by Ranger. Sentiment from Written in Watercolor stamp set by MFT.
