Designed2Delight challenge

Here is my card using this weeks free image (only free if you are playing along!!!!) from Designed2Delight. It was a dragonfly collage and it was really fun! I was experimenting with the magic mesh so I'm not 100% satisfied with it, but it is a "Springy" card, and I like the colours!!!!

Happy Saturday!!!

Karen's Doodles Challenge USA

This card is for Karen's Doodles USA challenge this week, which was a sketch. It was a fun sketch and I was able to use up some bits of this really cool sparkly paper (which you can't really see anyway...lol, but trust me, it is cool!!!) This is Nutsy and Bigsby! The ribbon, flower and pearl are all from my stash too!!! I coloured them with Copics. Inside it says "Surprise!"

Thanks for stopping by! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!! ! It is a long weekend here in Canada (Happy Birthday Queen Victoria..LOL) so I'm going to enjoy it!!! Maybe clean my craft room, do some laundry, hang with the dogs, and do some reading on my new lawnchair!!!

Designed2Delight challenge.....

This weeks image from Designed2Delight is this cute Surprise Bear...isn't he adorable?? You really need to go check it out...every week you play, you get a free image...so much fun!!!!

This is a rather simple card, I was torn on what to do with the space on the left of the image. It sat on my desk for a few days, until I decided to add the swirls and the rhinestones...still not 100% happy with it, but he is cute!!! The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp sentiment set.
Thanks for stopping by today! AND thank you all for your sweet comments!!!!

Karen's Doodles UK Sketch challenge

Hey everyone!!! I finally got a chance to hang out in my craft room - the weather has been so beautiful here that I have been outside a lot - with the dogs, washing windows, yard work...you know....the fun stuff!!!! Here is my card I am submitting to the Karen's Doodles UK challenge blog - which is a sketch. I used Fairy Princess which you can buy HERE. The sentiment is from a set from Simon Says Stamp called Simply the Best Sentiments. The paper I used is from SU (Orchid Opulence & Pixie Pink) and the DP is from a pack from DCWV called Nana's Kids. I coloured her with Copics (V04 & V05). After I took the picture I realized I forgot to add stickles to her wings and wand, so imagine that they are sparkley!! LOL

Have a FAIRY nice day!!!!
