Wow, It's Been a While...

since I last posted anything, sorry for being MIA!  Have just been really busy with life and haven't had a chance to do much crafting, but I did want to show you this cute challenge that I took on.  Misfit Crafter was having a challenge with altering a bag for her daughters birthday coming up.  She got these bags at a goodwill and wanted to use them somehow for the Birthday party, so she was so kind to send us all one and we had to alter it and make sure to cover up the name on the bag.  Her theme was Hello Kitty, which I LOVE by the way, so this is what I came up with.  I do not have a "cricut" or any other cutting machine besides a cuttlebug, so I couldn't cut anything out, but I did it the ol'fashion way and printed out a Hello Kitty pic and cut it out myself.  I did a little paper piecing on her dress and added some embellishments.  The other side of the bag is made with some really pretty shiny stickers that my daughter had, I embellished it on the side and the inside as well, with these stickers. I used black cardstock to cover the name up and a Martha Stewart edge punch.  I really like how it turned out, simple but cute and sparkly.  Thanks for looking!

House Mouse Challenge

I made this card for a sketch challenge in a group on cafemom and also a color challenge on House Mouse & Friends!

I am also using this card for Clearly Istamp challenge to make it fuzzy, my background paper behind the image is mulberry paper, torn around the edge. And my flower is a a fuzzy felt flower.  Also, for Crafty Catz challenge to use animals.

A Card For a Couple of Challenges!

Here is a card I made with a "Sweet N Sassy" digi image that I had colored up already.  I have used the sketch over at S2G's challenge #64.  Their twist this week was to use this sketch.  I turned the sketch around, so that it would fit this image. I also used this card for a color challenge on a cafemom group.  The other challenges I used it for was for:

Cute Card Thursday - Summary colors

Clearly Delightful - Use buttons, pearls or bling

Clearly Delightful Challenge

Wow, it's been so long since I have been able to post anything!  Finally got a chance to make a card.  This card was made using the Clearly Delightful Blog sketch.   I also used a cute image from Bugaboo Digis.  All of my cardstock & embellishments came from a swap for a group on Cafemom.

Great Blog Candy for Helping out a Friend in Need!

 Below  is the blog for all the info.  Hope that you can send out a cute card and help cheer up a friend:)

Excited to Be a Guest DT for Shirley's 2 Girls!!

I was so excited when S2Girls asked me to be a Guest DT for them for the month of April!!  I just love their fun digi images!!  I received this fun "Ladies with Attitude" stamp and had to make a card for the "Twisted Thursday #50" challenge.   You can get this stamp here! This card is a long card made out of an 8x8 piece of cardstock folded in half.  I just love this size card!!  She is colored with my copics and colored pencils.  I used my own sketch for this card.  I am looking forward to creating more with all of these great stamps in April!  Be looking out for April 8th, next Thurs, they will be having a "Paris Blog Hop" and they have created some wonderful "French Flair" digis!  You will love them!  I am also using this card for "crafty creations" challenge, where anything goes!

A Baby Card!

I made this card for a friend who is expecting a baby girl at the end of this month.  Her theme for the baby's room is "ladybugs" so when I saw this cute digi stamp from Sweet N Sassy Stamps, I just had to have it.  I love the little ladybug crawling on the clothesline, so cute!    I also participated in their SNR group challenge last week.  It was to use pink & yellow, which is one of my favorite color combos.  I am also submitting this card for S2G's Twisted Thursday challenge where they want you to use "green" on your card.  I just love all their new "Alice in Wonderland" digi's!  I can't wait to get my hands on some of them.

Cha Relay Day 3 & Sweet Card Wednesday #33

I am a little late posting this card, however this was made little "Toby", TGF's freebie for day 3 of the relay that they were having, but due to some complications they had to end the relay early.   I have another card that I will make with day four's image soon.  

I have also used Sweet Sketch Wednesday's sketch challenge this week.

TGF CHA Relay Day 2

Here is my card with the free digi "Charlotte" from TGF.   Isn't she cute!  This is a trifold card.  She is colored with copic markers.

TGF Cha Relay

TGF is giving away a Free digi starting today all through the week, but in order to get each digi free, you have to create something with todays free digi and post it in their gallery.  My daughter, Olivia,  saw this digi, and loved it, so here is her card.  She is 11 1/2 yrs old and is starting to get into crafting more with me.  She loves to draw mystical animals and has a blog with some of her drawings on it.  She will be getting more on there soon.  I thought she did pretty good!

S2G #38 Twisted Thursday Challenge

Wow, I finally got a chance to enter a challenge!  I really wanted to try S2G's Twisted Thursday challenge!  The twist was to use hearts!  I am really tired, and don't think I did my best on this card, but I still think it is cute!  I used S2G's new valentine elephant digi!  These elephants are so cute!  You need to check them out, they have the greatest digi stamps "with attitude"  LOL.
