You'll Come Out On Top

Happy Saturday, everyone! It's time for a new challenge, today, at Catch The Bug! This week's challenge is Bingo! One of our favorites, and, hopefully one of yours! As always, there are are prizes up for grabs, from Bugaboo Stamps, so hurry over to Catch The Bug and link up your bingo creation with us, for your chance to win!

Today, I have a very special card to show you. This card was made for someone who means the world to me, and is going through something very stressful right now. Please say a prayer that things will turn out in a positive way. He really needs prayers and positive vibes.

My masculine card uses the image, Puppy Pile, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. All papers used to create this card are from my stash. The paper with the anchors is symbolic of his courage, so it was perfect for this card. Polka Dots and puppies were used, to lighten up the mood and hopefully bring a smile. (Who doesn't smile over puppies and polka dots?!) The card layout uses the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I've used denim fabric tags as little banners, for my hand written sentiments. Tiny wooden buttons were used to embellish the top left corner of the card, as well as below the image.

I am entering this masculine card in the following challenges:

Enter The Darkside

Have you ever wanted to explore your dark side of crafting? Well I have, but just never really ventured that way more than once or twice. But, then, I came across a DT call for a new dark challenge blog..... I debated... and I debated..... and I debated, again..... Then I thought, what the heck - I should apply! What better time than the present, to try something new - So I applied for a DT spot on the new dark challenge blog, Forever Dark. I was so surprised, and thrilled, when Anna contacted me and offered me a spot on the team! Whoo Hoo! Can you believe it! I'm going to explore my dark side in crafting, as part of the DT at Forever Dark Challenge!

So, the time has come for the first ever challenge at the Forever Dark Challenge Blog! The first challenge is an easy one - Anything Goes! We are a monthly challenge blog, so you have plenty of time to play along and link up with us! There are awesome prizes up for grabs! Our sponsors, for our first challenge, are Ike's Art and ArtiDoodles.

Now, let me tell you all about my first project for Forever Dark. I mostly do cards, but I would love to get more into doing other types of crafts, especially altered items. For my first project, I decided to try altering a wooden frame, which I've painted black. I have used the image, Coralyne, from ArtiDoodles, colored with Promarkers and Copics. I used Copics for the hair and tried the "flicking" method - I think it turned out pretty good for a second attempt at this method!. I've used flowers at the top of the frame, to add a pop of color. The flowers were recycled from an old flower arrangement. I placed a black and gold spider in the center of the two flower sprigs. This was such a fun project and I love how it turned out. What do you think of my first Forever Dark project?

I am entering this altered frame in the following challenges:

We'd love to see what you create!

My card uses the image Curvy Baby Doll Sassy, by Sassy Studio Designs, colored with promarkers. I designed this to be a male birthday card, because the image is sassy, and should definitely be appealing to the guys! All papers are from my stash. I fussy cut the image, then matted her in blue and fussy cut her out once again. I used this awesome wooden laser cut swirl by Hobbycutz. The die cut has been painted with Twinkling H20's and embellished with clear gemstones, for glitter and sparkle. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 you and is punched with circle punches.

Have A Happy Masculine Birthday

Good early morning, everyone! Wow! Can you believe how time flies?! It's already time for a new Challenge at the Hobbycutz Challenge Blog. This time, we want you to get our your crafting goodies and play bingo with us! We've supplied you with the bingo card, now show us your bingo! We have an awesome prize up for grabs.

It could be, if you come on over to the Hobbycutz Challenge Blog and link up your bingo creation with us!

Today, I went with a masculine birthday card. My card uses the image, Gramps, from Digistamps4Joy, colored with Promarkers. My card layout uses the sketch at Sketch and Stash. All papers are from my stash. My Bingo, from our supplied bingo card, is: Die Cut by Hobbycutz, Buttons, Bling. I used this fun wooden lattice type laser cut, from Hobbycutz, across the top of the card. The laser cut has been painted with Twinkling H20's. I've used foam mounting tape to attach the sentiment, for added dimension. Two yellow buttons, threaded with black and white baker's twine, have been added at the top right corner of the image. To finish off the card, we just had to have some bling - So I added three green pearls in the bottom left corner of the card.
