Simon Says......We like to MOVE IT, MOVE IT!!!!

This weeks challenge at Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog is a fun one, and open to LOTS of different interpretations!!! Let's MOVE IT - images of things that move, make part of your creation move, etc. I have made 2 cards for this challenge - a CD envelope shaker card (that moves!) and another one of a wheelbarrow (of a thing that moves). Here is my CD envelope shaker card with a Penny Black image called Looking at You. I got the little Happy Birthday confetti at the dollar store! The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp sentiment set.

And here is my second card - it is a Gruffies stamp called Wheelbarrow Ride. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp sentiment set too!! The layout is one I had in my "sketches" binder, it is a MoJo Monday sketch from awhile ago, but I really liked it! I coloured the image with chalks.

As always, you can win this if you join us this week!!!! How awesome!!!

And, remember to come back on Friday after you've entered the Simon challenge to enter to win my Friday Freebie - the prizes are endless!! Check out the other DT blogs too, they all have blog candy too!!! YUMMMMM!!!!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will join us!!

Designed2Delight challenge

This weeks freebie at Designed2Delight is this adorable bear called Sew Beary Kind! I love the image, just not 100% happy with my colouring. I tried to make her face look fuzzy but it didn't work like I planned!!! I added faux stitching around the blue piece so it would qualify for the Double Delight challenge which is to add sewing to your card - either real, hand or faux! I cut the little pink flowers off of a string of flowers and added dew drops to the centers. The bottom one fell off when I got it caught in the laundry room door - I didn't have time to reattach it before I took the picture but it is back on now!!!! LOL I added stickles to the flowers and used my At You Spica pen for the thread. The paper is all from SU! (Pacific Point, if I remember correctly!!!)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a terrific day!!!

BlackLeaf Studios - Create Magic Monday

Hi there! Today I have a post for Blackleaf Studios - it is CREATE MAGIC MONDAY & my turn to post!!! Create Magic Monday is where we create some magic - use a tool or technique that is cool and share it with you! Today I have used Cuddly Bear and made a shaped card. I printed the digi image larger than normal - this bear measures 5" tall. I coloured him with Copics then cut him out. I mounted him onto vanilla paper, then cut around him again, making a shaped card. I then added brown Fun Flock to his belly!!! Very simple and very cool!!! You could also make this a "girl" by adding a little pink bow by her ear if you wanted! Very versatile image....and ohhh soooo cute!!!!! Head to the SHOP to check out the other really great products!!!

Thanks for popping by! Have a great week!

Karen's Doodles Challenge - Criss Cross Cards

Happy Monday everyone!!!! This week at Karen's Doodles Challenge blog, we are challenging you to make a CRISS CROSS CARD! I used to make these all the time because they were so fun and easy, but I hadn't made one in a really long time, and it was nice to get back to the oldies but goodies!!!!

I used FLOWER BEAR and just made him small enough to fit in the corner of the criss cross part. I cannot for the life of me remember where I got the DP......sorry!!!

THANKS so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great week!!!!

Incy Wincy Designs Challenge - Autumn is getting close!!!

I like Autumn, I love the colours, the smells, Thanksgiving..but I hate that Winter follows behind it really fast! I'm not a fan of winter, as many of you already know!! I dread the cold and the snow - but.....that's what I get for living in Canada!!! LOL

Anyway, the challenge this week at Incy Wincy Designs is AUTUMN!!!! It is a colour challenge so use AUTUMNY COLOURS!!!! Here is my card I made using an image from AiFactory, called Buttercup flower (by Doodle Pantry) It was really fun to colour - even though I have NO idea what colour a buttercup is (I'm assuming Yellow?!?!) LOL

I made the card with my Nesties, then layered the DP and the image on top. The sentiment is from AiFactory too!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will head over to the Blog to see what the other DT members have created for you, and play along for a chance to win $10 at AiFactory this week!! GREAT PRIZE!!!!!
