Stampin' In Alaska

  Welcome to a new challenge week at Word Art Wednesday!  We have another lovely digital Scripture this week created by Karen Murray.  You are always welcome to use the Scripture, but it's not required to play along. We are so blessed to have a new sponsor this week.  Not 2 Shabby offers crafters stamps, dies, paper and so much more!  They are offering one lucky random winner a $25 gift card to the online store.    My card features an adorable free digital stamp from   Not 2 Shabby   called Have a Cup of Cheer .  The cup was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut.  It was layered onto a Gelli Print panel.  A wood mount sentiment from Inkadinkadoo and Doodlebug designs matte enamel dots finish the card. I would like to share my card with the following: PIP Challenge:  #2524 Anything Goes Lil Patch of Crafty Friends:  #256 Anything Goes Craft Galore Encore Challenge:  #136 Anything Goes

Pat is our hostess again over on Mo's Digital Challenge Blog , and this week's theme is Buttons 'n Bows. I decided that Mo's " Bella Carrying the Cake " was a perfect image for this week's challenge. With all of the nasty winter colors in my area, I have been using bright and cheery colors on my projects!! This one is no exception. I love coloring Bella a little wildly with oranges, yellows, green and pink. Opps, naughty Bronte decided to sit on Bella's trailing bow. I decided that he needed to be "outside" the box in the creation. I rarely have a chance to finish the inside of my card when I'm creating. I generally leave them blank so that I can personalize it at the time I sent it out. However, I thought this sentiment from Inkadinkado would be perfect. This is from the "Kid's Quotes" clear stamp set. I picked this up at my local Joanne's store last month. I'm really enjoying it! Fun challenge this wee...
