Chocolate, Cream and Raspberry For Christmas In July

Wow, time sure is flying by, this week! We're already on day 3 of our Christmas in July celebration over at Catch The Bug. For today's challenge, we have some fun colors for you to use.  We want to see your projects using the colors Chocolate, Cream and Raspberry, If you're like me, it seemed a little difficult at first, but believe me, it's not as hard as you think once you get started! So put your thinking caps on and get busy creating.  Join us for this challenge, along with our blog hop and the rest of our other daily challenges this week, over at Catch The Bug.  Hurry, you don't want to miss out on the awesome prizes this week, from
Bugaboo Stamps!

I mine is more of a deep red, rather than a raspberry, but its the closest I could find, in papers!

My card, today, uses the image Plush Reindeer - Ornament, from       Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  I used a sentiment from Sentiments 4 You, printed on cream cardstock and punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.  All of the papers, with the exception of the burlap look paper, are from Stampin Up.  I used Raspberry colored pearls to embellish. A clear glaze pen has been applied to the ornament on the image, to give the appearance of glass.

You're Out Of This World

It's Monday and that means challenge time at Craft Your Passion?!

We're all feeling Cutie Patootie this week, and so we want to see your Cutie Patootie too! That's right, our challenge this week is to make something cute! Now that is an easy peasy theme, don't you think?!

We're being sponsored this week by Digi's by Phooka, and her cutie patootie images! We also have another fabulous sponsor, Judy, from Pizzazz Aplenty!

What are you waiting for?! Hurry over to Craft Your Passion?! and show us your Cutie Patootie creation, for your chance to win some goodies!

My card today uses this cute space alien set, by Digi's by Phooka. I've colored the images with Promarkers and used some new cutie Patootie robot background paper. I apologized for the glare on the robots. I used a glaze pen on them to make them shiny and my camera apparantly did not like it, so I cause a glare in every pic I took! Darn alien lighting! LOL My sentiment is computer generated and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches, then mounted with foam tape for dimension and texture.

My card layout uses the sketch at The Pink Elephant. The image is by Daisy's Doodles and is colored with Promarkers. The gingham paper, flowers, and flower trim are from my stash. I used adhesive pearls to add to the flower centers. The image has had a glossy, glassy effect added, with a glaze pen.
