Stampin' In Alaska

Welcome to a new challenge  with Bugaboo Stamps! It's the first Saturday of the month  and that means a fun Anything Goes Challenge. I'm looking forward to all of the  fun projects this week and I hope to see LOTS of Bugaboo images! For my project this week I pulled out my water colors and stencil to create this clean and simple card featuring Coffee Time - Thanks a Latte    I started by printing the digital image onto Stampin' Up! Whisper White Card Stock. I then applied Tim Holtz distress inks  randomly with my water color brush. The image was also water colored. I used a fun stencil from Stencil Girl Products and Memento ink for the random dots. A little Wink of Stella and Stickles were applied. Don't forget about the fabulous sale  Jodie has going on over at the Bugaboo Shop this week! I'm sharing my card with the following: CAS(E) this Sketch:  Challenge #171 PDE Linky Party:  #...

Jodie is back from a brief vacation and creating some adorable new images! Today the design team is featuring a sweet image called Flower Teddy  The digital image was printed onto X-Press It white card stock and colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. Since Mother's Day is quickly approaching, I decided to add a Mother's Day sentiment from my stash. A machine stitched border and rhinestones  finish the card. Bugaboo images are on sale this week. Be sure to stop by the store and pick up those images on your wish list! The sketch was inspired by this week's Paper Play Sketch #006   I'm also sharing my card with the following: Challenge up you life:  Challenge #40 Critters Craft Your Passion Challenge:  #310 Anything Goes    Eureka Stamps Challenge:  #191 Feminine/Mother's Day   Cutie Pie Challenge:  #98 Woodland Friends

I was the lucky winner of the March Paper Sweeties Challenge. I received a fun prize package AND the opportunity to Guest Design for the May Challenge.

Designer papers are from Core'dinations and Memory Box. The colors were inspired by the May Paper Sweeties Challenge Board.  I'm also sharing my card with the following: Work It Wednesday April:  Flowers Simon Says:  Anything Goes

Each week From the Heart Stamps hosts a fun sketch challenge  with an optional twist. You can use the sketch provided  and/or the twist. Recently while browsing the  FTHS shop I came across the perfect set for Mother's Day. Mom is Wow (Faithful Friends) Although I really like this week's sketch, I went with the optional twist and used  several dies on my card. The Classic Rectangle and Classic  Scallop Rectangle die are from Spellbinders. The speech bubble die is from MFT - Say What. The image was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  A machine stitched border and ribbon finish the card. I have also included an additional  sentiment from the set on the inside of the card.   I'm sharing my card with the following: I {heart} Sketches with a tWist #149 Simon Says:  Anything Goes Aud Sentiments Challenge:  #154 Animal + Sentiment  HIMCR:  #249 Freesty...
