ladybugs challenge

While blog hopping last week, I came across a cute site Cupcake Inspirations The theme for this challenge is Ladybugs. The cupcakes in this picture look to pretty to eat !









 I thought it would be fun to enter this challenge.

For this challenge I used the digital images from Crafters Companion Inspire section. They have a lot of ideas and downloads for members and its FREE to join. For my card I used the Sizzix Window framelits die. The background paper is from Michaels.  I added two flower buttons and tied black and white bakers twine in the middle.

I hope everyone has a great week!  Thanks for looking at my blog. :)

From The Heart Sketch #148

 Well here it is Sunday night at 9:00 and I am just posting my entry for From The Heart Challenge. I dont know why I am put things off until the last minute.  I feel so much better when I get them done ahead of time.

For this weeks From The Heart sketch  challenge I chose the Wind Blown Penguin. He looks so happy with his balloons floating on the ice.  The stripes for the background I used Stampin Up double sided paper. There are 4 colors in the paper, so I decided to use the same colors to color the image with my Sharpie Extra Fine Markers.

I hope everyone has a great week! Thank you for looking at my blog :)

Contest

Hi everyone, Scrapbook.com is having a GREAT contest right now. Head on over to see all the goodies. Good Luck to you all !

POPSICLE ANTS

I think spring has finally sprung! Its been so cold here since the first day of spring and the last days of winter it was like spring. My japonica bush is so confused. lol.  It bloomed then we had a freeze and the blooms died. Then it got warm again and it bloomed again.  I would not blame it if it just said the heck with it !

I have been making some kids cards and some adult ones also. The one I want to share today I am sending to SAS4KIDS but I think it would be a fun card for an adult also. I used the cute stamp set, Popsicle Ants from Doodle Pantry. I dont color as much as I use to, I hate going out of the lines, but it is relaxing, so much so I fall asleep sometimes. lol  I love Laurie's colors, they are so bright and cheerful. For this card I used the lime popsicle, one of my favorite colors. The background paper is also from this stamp set. I used purple holographic paper behind the image and red orange trim on the side.  I also used half pearls in orange. The sentiment is also from the Popsicle ants stamp set.

 I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Doddle Panty AIMPDC16- anything goes
Creative Knockouts #137 Humorous card-Doodle Pantry 
SAS4KIDS Animal Cards for Kids

Have a great week ! Thank you for looking at my blog :)
