T4T Challenge!

Hi everyone!!

I'm so happy to announce that Jo Davies will be running a little competition on her blog for Time for Tea Designs images!! It can be found here:

T4T Competition

T4TD has just celebrated one year, and has grown so much! I'm so happy for Jo and all of her hard work and stellar digis! I am lucky enough to have been part of the DT from the start! I think that it is so awesome to see everyone's cards and creations using these beloved images!

And that's not all! There are prizes to be won!!! The competition runs till the end of April, and you can win two prizes! Please see the link for more info! Your creation has to feature a T4TD image or sentiment! Hope y'all play along!!

By the way, my card today features the new release of Football Adam (Jo is based in the UK, so football means soccer for you Americans :)). He reminds me of when my eldest tried out soccer for the first time. I was inspired to do more of a CAS (clean and simple) style, and I thought these stickers from Amy Tangerine were perfect for the color scheme!

Anyway, I hope you all are having a wonderful day!!

April Showers.

Hello, everyone! I'm playing along with Some Odd Girl's April Showers Challenge on their Facebook group. The challenge is all about rain showers, umbrellas, and Spring flowers.

I've colored up the lovely Rainbow Fairy a while back, and thought she'd be perfect for this challenge. We've been having lots of showers here on our neck of the woods, and I've also been seeing a rainbow here and there. The kiddies get giddy when they spot them too, and I've got to admit, they are so beautiful to look at. I always try to take a picture but photographs don't do them justice.



Anyway, back to the challenge... I am a big fan of "mixing things up." I picked some cloud overlays from Hambly (again) as they are my current cloud patterned paper (and believe me, I've got tons of those). And thought these 3-D flowers from Sassafras were the perfect colors and embellishments for the Spring theme. They are a bit more shabby chic while Hambly is all about graphic lines. Am loving how they came together though to bring this pretty unique-looking card. Quite right for a Some Odd Girl challenge, am I right?? :)

Hope you all have an awesome day and I'll see you next week!

C.C. Designs' Birthday Blog Hop.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today, I'm here to help greet C.C. Designs!!! It's their 7th Birthday, and that is such a phenomenal occasion!!

I dubbed myself lucky when the April releases happened to be about birthdays! You see, it's my birth month as well! So April is definitely a wonderful month to celebrate!

For CCD's 7th birthday blog hop, I made a card using Pollycraft Dotty. Isn't she cute? I used one of my fave color combos -- pink and green -- and made it very fun with the patterns and stickers! And of course, she is colored in with Copic Markers.

She is perfect for my God-daughter's upcoming birthday, which is also in April. :) :) :)



Anyway, please make sure you visit the C.C. Designs' blog and click on the other Design Team members' links! Happy 7th birthday to such an amazing stamp and craft company!!

Have a stellar weekend!

PollyCraft's Grant.

Hi, and you are here!! I'm showcasing the third day of previews for the April Releases at C.C. Designs. Now, it's Pollycraft's turn.

This little cutie-patootie is Grant, and he reminds me so much of my boys! Maybe it's the hair or the smile, but I think he's so sweet and cute! I just want to pinch that cheek!



I love how versatile these stamps are. Doesn't he blend perfectly in with this retro party? And if I had made a current scene, he'd fit in as well!

Well, as my birthday is drawing nearer, I'm picturing my boys looking like Grant when they greet me! :)

Hugs,

Roberto's Rascals are having a party!

Hello, hello, hello!!

And welcome to Day Two of the April previews at C.C. Designs! Today, it's all about Roberto's Rascals. They are just the cutest kiddie images!

I'm featuring two today, in one card. This is Cupcake Henry and Cupcake Nancy...oh, aren't they so oh-so-cute?! I just love love love them!



Again, I used Cake Walk from October Afternoon and went for a more vintage vibe with this card. Doesn't it look like a cozy, l'il party?? :)

See you here tomorrow, same time, same place!
