In The Pink With Lexi's Creations!

Whoo Hoo! I'm Guest Designer at Lexi's Creations for their current challenge! I was able to choose the image for my card, and I chose this cutie. Her name is Melissa and she can be found in Lexi's Creations store, here. She's so cute and girly and she's doing one of my favorite things--Shopping! Lexi has so many cute images in her store. Stop by and check out all of her designs... You will love them! I hope you will stop by Lexi's Creations this week and take part in their challenge. Hop on over and share a creation with us and you could win a great prize for playing along!

For the card layout, I used last week's sketch at Catch The Bug. I realized after I created the card, that the sketch challenge would be over by the time I posted my card--Opposie! LOL)

I decided to go with a pink girly color scheme, with touches of yellow and peach These are wonderful summery colors, too! The image was colored with Promarkers. I used four different background papers, all from my stash, The plaid background paper has squares, and I embellished with the little acrylic circles called skittles that I dyed myself with alcohol inks. The skittles provide texture. Hopefully this card qualifies as having squares and circles, for the challenge at Crafty Angels.

I love the image and the sketch I used. This was such a fun card to make. It reminds me of how Carrie Bradshaw loves to shop in the movie Sex & The City 2. (Can you tell I just recently seen that movie?!) Shopping is one of the best things in life and a great way to celebrate anything!

EDIT: I was told that my card doesn't fit one of the challenges that I entered it into.... yet the inspiration photo has pink in it. Hmm Makes no sens to me :)

Furry Friend

This cute little guy is another image from Lexi's creations! This is my second card I have made with him because he is so darn cute.

I picked up this cool new paper at Hobby Lobby this morning. I love the pattern on it, plus its purple! Gotta love any and all purple! The flower was punched with a punch by Stampin Up! Behind the flower, the white circle is hand cut and embossed with the Cuttlebug swiss dots folder. I used a white skittle in the middle of the punched flower. The ribbon, Buttons and fibers are from my stash. The sentiment is from Aud Sentiments. I used the sketch at Pear Tree Designs.

Ever Just Felt Like Everything Is Going Down Hill?

I think this little guy in on this card feels that way! Poor little fella! This gives new meaning to the words, "Snowball effect!" This cutie is from Lexi's Creations!

More new Patterned Paper from hobby Lobby. I'm loving the background paper on this for some reason. Which is very strange since I've always hated stripes. Maybe its the colors of the paper I like. In any case, I felt like it was perfect for this card. The image is matted on cardstock punched with the Martha Stewart Snowflake PATP set. The white layer behind the blue punched layer is embossed with the Cuttlebugb spots and dots folder. (I think that's what it's called. I used a clear star jelly roll pen to add sparkle and glitter to the snowball and inside the snowflakes. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash.
