~April Sketches with Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

 Welcome back and thank you for stopping by!  We have a new month of fabulous sketches over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2!

 

Kathie has designed 2 fantastic sketches for us again this month and here are my creations.  For sketch #251, I have used this adorable Spring Gnome from Polkadoodles and it's super fun kit, coloured images, B&W images, papers, sentiments too, it's full of crafty goodness for Spring!

 

 

 

and for sketch # 252, I have used this fabulous colored The Old Truck from Fred She Said.  I used Farmhouse Living paper and Ephemera from Echo Park along with some CTMH enamel dots and twine from The Twinery to complete this card:-) I did rotate the sketch to fit my image, but it's all there, just a different angle.

 

 

 

I sure hope you can play along with us and if you did for March, be sure to check the winner's and top3/5 tab to see if you're listed there!

~Things with Wings/Tails with Di's Digi Challenge

 Hello and welcome back!  It's been a bit since I've been on here and it really has been a busy couple of months.  My daughter graduated from dental hygiene and we moved her home across the country!  We took the trip home through the US and it was uneventful but a great trip home!35+ hours of driving- 3 provinces and four states:-)

 

I am back now though with a new card for our latest Di's Digis challenge today.  Things with Wings/Tails is what our challenge is this time around and I have used this adorable Bunny Kisses and Springtime Wishes image for my card this week.

It kind of looks like its coloured with pencils but its not, I coloured it up with Copics!  Love these springtime colours snd I am sure hoping Spring show sup here soon!  We are about to start calving and we have soooooo much snow still!

 

Becasue we are so close to Easter, Di has a great sale on right now to celebreate!

 

Be sure to check our the store for an amazing selection of new images like in the graphic but so many adorable ones you've love to colour up!

I hope you join us in our Things with Wings/Tails challenge!  Can't wait to see your card and you may even be the lucky prize winner!

~Make it Sparkle- Kitty Teacup

 Hello everyone!  Gosh, my blog took a back seat there for a bit and after an eventful (not in a good way) December, I hope to have life back in order somewhat to keep up with things now.

 

I am delighted to share with you this adorable new image from Di's Digi Stamps so our new challenge today.  This time around we are asking you to show us your Make it Sparkle (glitter, stickles, bling).  I have used this super cute colored image called Kitty Teacup.  I am having a flare up of uveitis (inflammation in my eye) so it makes coloring really hard with one blurry eye-hence the colored version:-)  I used some silver shimmer trim from CTMH as well as Nuvo Glimmer paste in silver with this fun Krafty Kaleidoscope Stencil from Kraftin Kimmie. Topped it off with two glitter dots from Michaels.

 

 

I sure hope you will play along with us this time around.  Also, be sure to check out Di's store as she has some adorable new images and a great January sale going on right now!

 

Just a few reminders about out challenge:

~October Sketches with SSW2

 Hi everyone and thanks for popping by!  I have seemed to take the summer off from blogging my creations- not intentionally but just seemed to be here, there and everywhere!  

I am happy to share our 3 sketches with you this month over on the Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge blog!  I love sketches, they are my favorite challenge for sure.  We usually have 2 sketches for you to choose from or use but this month we have 3!

 

First off, we have sketch #238 and I have used this adorable coloured Autumn Fox from Di's Digi's for my image.

 

 

 

Then we have sketch #239 and I have used this beautiful Bugaboo Butterfly Floral Panel.

 

 

 

Lastly but certainly not least, we have this fun sketch #240 and I have used Cute Witch from The Paper Shelter for this sketch.

 

 

Also, we have the optional theme for the month and we also have 3 different options for you- Halloween, Thank You and Autumn.  Feel free to use both the sketches and the theme or just the sketches, that is fine too! 

 

Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog and check out our makes from my talented design team friends as well as our lovely guest designer this month.  Then enter for your chance to win!

~Fall/Autumn with Di's Digi's

Fall is here already???  Where did summer go? Just kidding, we have had a beautiful summer, hot but mixed with some desperately needed rain so that's ok.  Fall is actually just a lovely so far, so I can't complain.

 

It's time for a new challenge over at Di's Digis and this time around we are asking to see your Fall/Autumn creations!   Lucky for me, Di has just released some gorgeous new images that fit the bill perfectly!

This adorable lil guy is called Autumn Fox.  It's available in black and white and a coloured versions and I have used the coloured version here!  Matched my papers perfectly and I was short on time which seems to be the norm lately, so it worked wonderfully. 

As always, I sure hope you can check out the DT creations and then enter your card for a chance to win!  You don't have to use an image from Di's Digis but with the 50% off summer sale on now, why not!

Hope to see your card entered over on the challenge blog!

Happy Crafting!

~For A Child

Goodness, it's already September, I can't believe how time flies!  Thank you for popping by to see what I have to share with you this time around.  It's time for a new challenge at Di's Digi Challenge and this time we are asking to see your For A Child cards.

Before we get to my card for this challenge, I wanted to share that Di is having a summer sale right now!  

A super great opportunity to stock up for great savings!

My card features this adorable image called Hedgy and Balloons and while I have been using the coloured versions lately, I did colour this cute guy myself:-)

I'm pretty happy with how this card turned out and will save it for one of nephews birthdays coming up!  

 

Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog and enter your For A Child creation for a chance to win.  You do not have to sue an image from Di's Digis, but if you do use an image from DI'S DIGI STAMPS or any CandiBean stamp, you have a chance to win 2 images from DI'S DIGI STAMPS in addition to the random winner prize.
