Sheer Hoppiness

It's a new challenge over at the Cardz 4 Galz blog, with our theme being 'Cute and Cuddly.' think of bunnies and kitties and cute little critters such as that when you make your cards to enter. :)

The other day I found this wonderful coloring page being offered for free by Prima. isn't she just so very sweet? I couldn't pair her with any papers other than Prima ones, so all of these are from the Tea Thyme collection.

the beautiful floral die is also by Prima, the leaf flourish die is from Cheery Lynn, sentiment is by Create with TLC, pink silky crush ribbon and pink burlap string are from RRR, little sweetheart blossom flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and button is vintage. main image and matting die are by Spellbinders. sentiment punch is from SU!

one more post coming in just a bit.....

A Modern Woman Goes Glam

Coffee of the Day - Irish Creme

It's time for a new challenge at the Cardz 4 Galz blog! this fortnight we are recognizing International Women's Day on March 8 and Mother's Day in the UK on March 6, so our theme is 'Woman or Women.' your card needs to have an image of a woman or women somewhere on it. super easy to do, right?! ;)

for my card I chose an image from A Day for Daisies called Dollface. she comes with another image wearing a mask, so you actually get 2 for the same price! :)

papers are from the Basic Grey Urban Luxe collection. I love this paper so much more than I thought I would and have used it several times already. too bad it's almost completely sold out everywhere. :( the sticker frame I used as a little mat is part of the same collection, as is the tab at the bottom and 'glam' sentiment. flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

the gorgeous rhinestone bauble has been sitting on my craft desk just waiting for the perfect project to come along. I am sorry I have no idea who makes it. yes, it's been sitting on my desk a LONG time. ;) ribbon snippet is from a project I shared the other day (ribbon is from stash, too) and black burlap string is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I added some 'eyeshadow' to the main image with a clear spica glitter pen and some little accents to the card corners with a black spica glitter pen.

come play along in the challenge with us!

We also have a new challenge that starts today as well. the theme is "Get Ahead - Get a Hat." You have 2 weeks to get your entry linked to the blog. I'd love to see what fun project you make! :)

I chose to use this precious image from A Day for Daisies called 'Vintage School Girl Two.' isn't her hat gorgeous? papers are from the Basic Grey Mint Julep collection, the two main image dies, are Spellbinders, and the beautiful rose corner die is Wild Rose Studio. I used the wink of stella clear brush pen on the hat band for some extra sparkle. flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts and buttons are from my vintage collection.
