My Favorite Things, Sketch 217

Two posts on the blog today, so if you're looking for the Melonheadz Friends Challenge, please see the post below. :) 

Sketch Challenge 217 for My Favorite Things. Simple design with so much versatility. I love using flags and tags and this is perfect for using scraps as well. Fun sketch!

I used a variety of paper scraps for my flags - Jillibean Soup, October Afternoon, My Mind's Eye, and Bo Bunny. The flag dies, sentiment, and adorable chick are by My Favorite Things.

Sentiment from and older MFT stamp set {my apologies; I don't have the name of it}, chick is from the BB Somebunny stamps and dies sets.

Green Challenge at Melonheadz Friends

Welcome to March and Monday and Melonheadz! Today's challenge is to use green. So I did! ;) Hope you'll come and play with us at Melonheadz Friends and you could win some awesome digi images from Melonheadz Illustrating. I used the new Lucy Doris, St. Patrick's Day set. I just love Lucy Doris!

I stamped my sentiment on the white mat behind her.....

...then I adhered her to the mat using foam tape.

Milk carton treats

It was fun to go through my stash of dies (heaven knows I have sooooo many!!!!!) and find a few oldies but goodies for today's projects. I made these little goody boxes to show the milk carton die. This die is and oldie from Quickutz, which is no longer available, but you can find a similar die here at My Creative Time. The finished box measures approximately 2 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches high. I used small shape dies to create the windows.

I've had this cow paper in my stash for years and this was the perfect use for it.

For the candy kisses, I used the Farm Candies stamp set by Jaded Blossom. So cute!!!

This adorable cow and sentiment by Paper Smooches fit the milk theme perfectly.

This version is for St. Paddy's Day. The lips, shamrocks and sentiment are by Peachy Keen Stamps; the shamrock window cut-out and speech bubble tag are by My Creative Time.

My Creative Time Designer Challenge

Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing my entry for the My Creative Time Designer Challenge. I combined the sketch with the color palette and used the adorable robot stamps and dies for this card. I think the robots are just precious!

To make the colorful page elements I used various My Creative Time dies to add stitching to each piece, then drew a border around the large mat with a fine tip sharpie just for fun.

It doesn't really show in the photo, but I clear embossed the robot and the balloon for more texture after I colored with copic markers. Also, I raised the colored card stock background pieces with foam tape. Hope you like! Thanks for coming by today. :)

February SPARKS Challenge, Paper Smooches

The February Designer Sketch is up on the SPARKS Challenge Blog for Paper Smooches. {see sketch below} Click the link for details and link up info. You have until the 28th, so there's still time to play!

For my card I used FOUR Paper Smooches stamp sets, and one die set!

The adorable bunny and carrots are from A Little Lovin', the basket from the Squeaky Clean stamps, and for the grass I used one of the leaves from the Botanicals 2 stamp set. The sentiment is from the Sentiment Sampler. I heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder, and black embossing powder for the sentiment. I love the look heat embossing gives to the already super cute images.

Then, as an added layer of cuteness, I put Mr. Bunny on a wobble!!! LOVE!
