From the Heart Stamps - Sketch 48

Good Morning ladies! 

Today is a new Sketch Challenge over at From the Heart Stamps and the sketch is a cutie! 

I used the digi stamp Candy Cane Anneke, which I love! I used her for our recent blog hop and she is back to make another appearance. :-)

Since I wanted a non-traditional color for her dress, I decided to go with black.  And what goes better with black than pink? Nothing! So here is my card: 

Hope you all have a wonderful day and play along with us at From the Heart Stamps Challenges.

Flat Friends - January "Anything Goes" Challenge

Good Morning crafty friends! Today is the First Challenge of the Year for Flat Friends - and it is a fun one, because "Anything Goes".  Don't forget the new rules at Flat Friends allows you to use Any Image you would like, so join in on the fun!

For my card today I wanted to create a non-Christmasy card and I found this sweet Flat Friends digi!  The image is called "Doggy Bath" and you can purchase her at the Flat Friends etsy store.   

I have no idea how this sweet little farmer card came about, since my family will tell you Im not very country, but here she is!  I love the little concerned look on the dogs face.  

To make this card I created a 5.5 x 4.25 card from white cardstock. I used the adorable Doodlebugs Designer Paper from the "Happy Harvest" line.  I colored her with Copics and I used buttons and the sentiment from my stash! 

Hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to check out the other designers at Flat Friends, they are sure to inspire you!

Good Morning crafty friends~ 

Today is a new Challenge at Loves Rubber Stamps....Challenge 84 is a fun one I haven't seen before - New Year's Resolution!  

If you take a peek below, it would appear that my Resolution is to slow down and drink more coffee in the morning.  The sad part is ....this card is me at about 2:30 pm in the afternoon! So my New Year's Resolution is to get dressed for the day and stop walking around in my pajamas.  Sheesh!

Chi Chi Memories Bunny

Soooooo happy I got a chance to make this card this morning.  I have been meaning to make a card with one of the Chi Chi memories images and the freebie this month is this adorable bunny.  

I am addicted to my current Doodlebug Happy Harvest design paper so it all flew together.  I used Neenah cardstock which Im not really used to (normally use Cryogen) and colored her with Copics.  The sentiment "Happy Day" is from The Greeting Farm and I stamped it on a repeat. 

Hope you enjoy this card as much I did making it!
