Hedge Hog Flower - Happy Birthday!

Helloooo! It is a bit nippy here this past week with the chill of the winds, rain and snow. It has been a busy time as the volleyball season is starting to come to an end and basketball season is on the horizon.

Kelly has a fun new challenge for us at Creative Knockouts for Challenge #63. She would like us to use a BANNER somewhere on your creations. Our fun sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and I would love to thank them for letting me use Hedge Hog Flower. It is crazy fun to color.

My card is below.  Please forgive me for my crooked picture, guess I was the leaning tower of Tamie...all 5'5 of me....LOL.  My card size is 6 x 5 1/2...really stepping out of the box for me...LOL. My niece is having a birthday this month and I was thinking of her when I made this card.

Hello....

Hello and welcome back to my blog! We are almost on the last week of school and with all the tests we have tired grouchy pouchy kids that are counting the days till they can sleep in.  I don't blame them with so many exams to write regular Finals test, Provincial Achievement Tests and Diploma Exams.  It is a lot of pressure and unfortunately they all suffer from test anxiety. Truly I feel for them.

At 4 Crafty Chicks this week it is my turn to challenge you! So for Challenge #199 I would like to see ROUND CARDS! Now this is something outside of my crafting box. So onto Youtube I went and where I found several good tutorials but the best one came from my talented fellow chick Leanne while we were facetiming :) .  Within 5 minutes this card was on the go.  However it took me all afternoon to create this card.

So when you look below please don't fall off your chairs because you are right there are flowers on my card (another stepping outside of my comfort zone)*wink*.  No, it is not your imagination :) It all started with three flowers and well they just kept multiplying. My card is a little smaller as my biggest circle spellbinder is not that big. I also had a great time coloring up this image as I was thinking of Pink and the song Trouble.

Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Smokey Slate, Whisper White

No Stamping Zone

Good Morning! Hope your week has been a good one. I love seeing the sun lately and the warmer weather brings a smile to my face, even if it brings out those pesky mosquito's.

Are you ready to hear about a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks? Our wonderful hostess this week is our one and only Lori.  For challenge #195 she would like us to create with a NO STAMPING ZONE (no digi's, no stamps).

On Friday my mom took me to one of our craft stores near by to pick up some paper for printing digi but you know we just had to explore with my daughter. I was simply stumped with this challenge but while looking at die cuts an idea emerged, so of course I just had to buy the both die cuts below.

Here is my DT creation below.

Recipe:

Dies: Eliazbeth Craft Designs - Thanks, Cottage Cutz - Spring Tweetie, Copics (G03, G05)

Paper: Doodlebug - double sided card stock, whisper white, early espresso, so saffron and blue

Bling It Up!

Good Morning! I am excited to show case Scrapper's Delights for Cards Galore Encore Challenge!  They are our sponsor for the month of February and they so generously provided each of us with an image to use. Thank you it was a pleasure to color up :)

Our Challenge #2 for the Month of February is to Bling It Up (gem/glitter). The winner will receive 3 digis of choice from Scrappers Delights store.

My image for this card is called Rose Petal Digi Stamp 3.  I just think she is so adorable. She reminds me a little of  Tinker Bell. I can't wait to color the petal in different colors.  For my bling I decided to use Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the petals but just couldn't leave out the pearls.
