Designed2Delight Challenge

Hello everyone! I am here with another entry into the Designed2Delight challenge! This image was a Freebie if you joined in last week!! NOT wanting to think about Autumn, but I guess it's just around the corner!!! EEK!!! This image is called "Happy Harvest". The sentiment is from High Hopes. I am also going to enter it into the Double Delight challenge, which is Clean & Simple. I'm NOT so sure this is Clean & Simple, but it is pretty simple! I dunno, I will let them (& you) be the judge of that!!!! The CS I used is Tangerine Tango and the DP is from my stash, but I do know it is SU! I used my large circle Nesties, which I got at Simon Says Stamp!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT weekend!!!

Another Kenny K creation...

Well...I think I might be addicted! LOL Here is another card using a Kenny K image - this one is called Delores D'ammage. Isn't she SASSY I wish I had a body like that!! LOL



I have been sick for the last 4 days - caught Tim's head cold...UGH!!! I didn't feel much like creating but I did manage to stay vertical to make this card - at 3 different times! I coloured, then had to go lay down; then came back, chose my papers and did the layers, then had to go lay down; then came back and put it all together and added the flowers. Oh, and then a 4th time to take a picture of it and upload it here! LOL

Anyway, the black paper is from SU!, and the red is called Jupiter Glimmer from HOTP (Paper Wishes). The black flowers are from a Prima Bubble which I got at Simon Says Stamp and the little red flowers are from Wild Orchid. The sentiment is from a Studio G set from Michael's AGES ago!!!

Thanks for stopping by! I am heading up to hit the NyQuil and then to bed!!!

Karen's Doodles Challenge....SUMMER ZEST!

This week at Karen's Doodles Challenge blog, our challenge for you is a colour challenge - SUMMER ZEST - so use orange, yellow, lime green and a splash of blue in your creation!!!! Some of my FAVOURITE COLOURS!!!!

I picked up this exercise & food journal at Michael's so I could keep track of everything...this one was perfect! I kept the base of the journal as it was, because it was orange and yellow, and then I just added the images and some bright green ribbon! The image I used is WORKOUT BUDDY, and you can get it HERE!! I coloured the image with Copics. I got the JOURNAL sentiment ages ago in a grab bag of unmounted stamps - it finally came in handy!!!

I am entering this project into the Practical Scrappers challenge this week as it is a summer theme!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!!
