A Sassy Glittery Birthday

Good early morning, everyone! I'm here as an early bird, to tell you about our new challenge over at Hobbycutz! Our theme, this week, is to use glitter or something that glitters/sparkles/shines, on your project. We're being sponsored this time, by Sassy Studio Designs, so you have a shot at a fabulous prize if you link up with us and play along! What are you waiting for? Come play with us! 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.

Clownin' Around With Colors

Welcome to another Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug! This week, we have a Color Challenge for you?! Think you can handle that?! If so, then come on over to Catch The Bug to check out the color theme photo so you can create a project and play along with us. We have lots of prizes up for grabs, so come play along for your chance to win!

My card uses the image Lil Clown 4, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. Of course, I followed the color scheme in this week's color challenge. This card is perfect for a little boy's birthday. I used all scraps to create this card and think I did a pretty darn good job if I do say so, myself! LOL! The centers of the small squares are punches with the postage stamp punch from EK Success. I used some blue buttons, recycled from an old shirt that had been thrown away, and placed those in the center of the small squares. I used googly eyes on the clown. Isn't he cute?!

The inside of the card Says "Clown Around On Your Birthday"

It's Raining Frogs

I'm so in the mood for bright colors today! They just make me so happy and remind me of Spring! Oh, and what better combination than feminine/girlie and bright colors?!

Today is a new challenge at Lacy Sunshine and we're going girlie! All the DT have had a blast showing thier feminine side, this time! As for me, I'm not super girlie, myself, so I went with bright colors with a light feminine touch.  Of course, I'm no tomboy either - I must be somewhere in the middle! LOL!  Anyway, our challenge is open for two weeks, so you have plenty of time to link up with us and show us the girly girl in you - Come play in our feminine challenge, for your chance to win! There are prizes up for grabs, as well as a Top 3 and a Guest Designer spot! Come play with us at Lacy Sunshine!

My card uses the image Emily - Raining Frogs, from Lacy Sunshine, colored with Promarkers. All papers are chevron pattern and are from my stash. For my card layout, I've used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I used three flower shaped buttons in the upper left corner of the image. Green pearls were added on each side panel, as well as to the flower buttons, to make flower centers. I also added three tiny green pearls in each corner of the image.
