A Baby Is A Blessing

Freebie Friday at Catch The Bug

For this card, I've used the Freebie Friday Image, Bugaboo Baby, colored with Copics,  (Yes, yes, I am starting to experiment and use my Copics more.  Can you tell the difference? Especially in how the skin is colored? Am I getting better?! LOL) My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch Saturday. All papers are from my stash.  I used a mix of hearts and polka dots.  The flowers were handmade and hand cut from another patterned paper that I found to have an interesting pattern. I thought this paper would be great cut into the shape of slowers, so I thought, what the heck - Let's give it a try!

Oh, oh, while you're here, let me tell you about my card! My card uses the image Sweet Dreams Bear, from Lacy Sunshine Stamps. I've colored the image with Promarkers, using these colors: Satin, Morning Mist, Sandstone, Sleigh Bell, Frozen Lake, Blue Pearl, April Showers, Capri Blue and Hearthstone. My card layout follows the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  I've used red chevron patterned gemstones to embellish the upper right corner of the card.  Across the bottom, I used two pieces of black and white polka dotted ribbon, with a red glittered heart to set off the ribbon. All patterned papers are from my stash. Don't you just love this fun mix of papers combined with the Red, White and Blue color combo?! This card was made for a friend who's just had her first baby - A baby boy!

One of the fun things about this hop that makes it unusual, is that each of the team members participating were asked to take an additional photo of thier project in a bedtime or pajama party settting..... So, heres mine - A picture of my project, on my bed, snuggled up with one of my sock monkey house slippers! (Who doesn't love sock monkeys!)

Now that you've gotten the details, and hopefully have left me a comment, head on over to Bettina's Blog, to see the fabulous creation she has to show you, and find out what fun pajama party setting she's used for her project!

Recycle For Christmas

It's time for another challenge at Catch The Bug! We want to see your recycled items on your projects! Wow, another recycle challenge! How cool is that?! As always, there are awesome digi prize packs up for grabs, from Bugaboo Stamps! Come play along with us, for your chance to win!

For my card, I've decided to get an early start on Christmas! My card uses the image, AKV Winter Fairy - Skates, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash. My recycled item is a white ribbon recycled from an old organza gift bag. How's that for repurposing?! I also added a handmade bow, made from blue and white polka dotted ribbon.  In the top corner is a handmade flower, made of patterned paper and secured in the center with a blue metal brad.  My sentiment is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches.

Enticing Black WIdow

Welcome to a new challenge! Whoo Hoo!  For this round we have a new theme -Recycle Something! That's right, we want to see you recycle something and use it on a project! Awesome challenge isn't it?  Be sure you start recycling those items onto your projects, then come link up in our Recycle  Challenge at Open Minded Crafting Challenges. You have two weeks to play along, so plenty of time to create! You could be one our DT picks or even a winner of one of the prizes from these great sponsors:

Andrea's Lil Pixels

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

Smeared Ink Stamps

Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet

While you are here, allow me to tell you all about my project for this challenge. My card uses the image, Black Widow, from Smeared Ink, colored with Copics. All papers are scraps from my stash. My card layout uses the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I recycled the metal skull and crossbones that cam off another project that just didn't turn out the way I liked. The spider/bug is a creepy and most interesting die cut.  Don't you just love the extra touch it adds to this card?! I used a punch by Martha Stewart to make the fence.


Oh, oh, and this card is just perfect for my first try at the Smudgy Antics Challenge, too!
