SPARKS Challenge for Paper Smooches

For this week's SPARKS Picture Perfect Challenge, I used the colors in the photo for this sweet baby congrats card. The cute little creatures are from the Paper Smooches We Adore You stamps and matching dies, the flags are from the Adornments die set, and the sentiment is from A Little Lovin stamp set.

 As I do most of the time, I cut several images and layered them using foam tape. Cuz I love that!

Here's a little closer look at the sweet bunny, bird, and ladybug.

My Favorite Things, Sketch & Color Challenge

It's challenge time again and I decided this time to combine both challenges into my card! Color challenge #19 and sketch #224 on the Card Challenges blog if you want to play too. There is plenty of time left to join the fun. :) The adorable snail, planter boot and sentiments are from the new set by My Favorite Things, You Gnome Me.

Melonheadz Friends, 2 or more pattern papers

This week's Melonheadz Friends challenge is to use 2 or more designer papers. I used shades of blues from Doodlebug and October Afternoon for my boy birthday card. The adorable baseball player is from the Sports, Franklin Lewis (black/white) set.

I colored his uniform in Mariners colors and gave him number 34, Felix Hernandez, my grandson's favorite player. :)

Clear embossed the image after I colored it with my copic markers and added the rub-on numbers to his jersey. So much fun! I know Feliciano will love it.

My Favorite Things, Sketch Challenge 222

I used this week's sketch challenge design to make a belated birthday card. Completely spaced on a friend's birthday (I think she'll forgive me; she knows I also have 6 family birthdays in March as well as hers!) Anyway, here is my card. I didn't stray much from the sketch, actually.

I used elements from three My Favorite Things die sets, plus a partial sentiment from the Birthday Sentiments stamp set.

Foam tape lifts the stars for dimension, and sequins add texture.

My Favorite Things, Color Challenge 18

Couldn't wait to use the adorable kitty dies and stamps by My Favorite Things, from the I Knead You set. Isn't he so sad, lying there all forlorn. :( Poor, sad, kitteh.

He has a soft, cushy rug to lay on, though. ;) I used a narrow oval to create the rug using pattern paper in the colors of the challenge. After coloring my kitty with copic markers, I heat embossed with clear powder.

Of course, I had to cut several and layer them.....that's just how I roll. Foam tape rules!
