Designed2Delight challenge

This week Faith from Designed2Delight challenge gave us the CUTEST little image - Kaela dressed as an angel. Isn't she adorable?? If you didn't play along last week and didn't get her free, you can purchase her at the STORE! If you do, you can play along next week with a freebie!!! It is so fun!!!! It's like an addiction for me!!!! LOL

I used some paper from an SU paper pad that I have had forever! I am really trying to use up the paper that I have, and the stack just never seems to get smaller! It is CRAZY!!!! How is it possible that ONE PERSON can have SO much paper?? Oy!!!!! LOL I coloured her with Copics, and added some ribbon, stickles and rhinestones so I could join in on the Double Delight challenge, which is SPARKLE! Even if it wasn't the challenge, she would have had sparkly wings and stars!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!! I am hoping to stay WARM - we have about 2 feet of snow and it is about -21 Celsius here!!! UGH!!!!! The first of MANY cold days to come, I'm sure!!!!

Designed2Delight challenge - Laughing Giraffes!!

These cute giraffes were this weeks Freebie if you participated last week at Designed2Delight. Aren't they CUTE??? When I saw them, I knew instantly I wanted to use my heart Nestabilities & make either an Anniversary card or a card for my hubby. I decided to make a card for Tim, so on the inside, it says, I LOVE YOU!

The CS is Rich Razzleberry (SU) and the DP is from my stash. I put the heart shapes through my Cuttlebug for the embossing texture of a giraffe (kinda! LOL) but it also enables me to enter it into the Double Delight Challenge Yahoo!!!!! It's been a few weeks since I entered over there!!!! The gems are from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you are having a great week so far!!!

Designed to Delight challenge

This week at Designed2Delight, Faith gave us an incredible image with sentiments to use as our freebie this week!! WOW!!! So generous! I loved working with this image called Peace & Comfort, it was awesome to colour, and flowers always make great sympathy cards!

The CS I used is Tempting Turquoise (SU) and the DP is stuff I had in my scraps bin - so not sure where it came from!!! The yellow sheer ribbon is from Stamping Bella and the pearls are from the Dollar Giant store!

I am also entering it into the Double Delight Challenge, which is to use sponging or distressing, which I have done, on the inside and outside!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! Have a great week!! I can't believe it is Sunday already! YIKES!!!

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!!!

Designed2Delight challenge.....

This weeks challenge at Designed2Delight is to use this great OAK WREATH image. As soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do with it! I printed out 2 copies, coloured them both, then cut out individual leaves to pop them out to make it look "real". The acorns are popped out too!!! The ribbon is recycled from a chocolate box but it fits perfectly with the colour scheme of my leaves....which, qualifies me 100% for the Double Delight challenge which is Autumn Colours!!! Weeee hooooo!!!!! The sentiment is from Magnolia.

Here is a side view...you can kinda see the leaves popped out:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night!!!

Designed2Delight challenge.....

This week's freebie image from Faith at Designed2Delight is called "Fishin' Around"...isn't he adorable??? I love his big smile!!

I used Apricot Bazzill cardstock and DP from SU! It is kind of a random mix of colours but I kinda like it! I coloured him with Copics then used my Pebbles Inc. Shimmer chalks for the water and sky- which I got at Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is from an old Studio G set from Michael's.

I am also entering this at Double Delight Challenge, because they want us to use ribbon, twine or string! I used ribbon (chocolate chip) and twine in the buttons! Lucky me!!!! LOL

Hope you are all having a SUPER weekend!!!

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!!!
