Easter Card

 There's a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. There's a new one every Monday and on Wednesday's we announce the winners from the previous week and showcase all the DT members cards. Come join us, we always have some great sketches!

Here's my example


Here's the sketch


The background is from my playing around with my new Gelli Plate.....that is so much fun! The stamp is an old stamp that I colored in with colored pencils. I die cut the circle using a Sizzix Framelit nesting stitched circle die. I added the two banners, stamped the sentiment and added some tiny pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!

Create Art

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. Our theme this month is our Birthday Bash Celebration, celebrating our 5th anniversary. Challenges will be based on the Birthday Theme, but not necessarily on the specific birthday. It can be the day itself, the person, the gifts, food, games, new life in general (spring)/newness. I hope you can join us and play along. Who knows....you could win a $20.00 gift certificate to one of your favorite scrappy stores


This is my granddaughters Birthday Painting Party. She is becoming quite the little artist so it was no surprise she wanted a painting party. The background is from Vicki Boutin's Let's Wander collection and everthing else is just left over pieces from sticker collections and chipboard pieces. I used a punch for the black strips along the top and bottom and then just added some Nuvo Drops in several different colors to tie them into the painting party theme.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cookin' Up Creations Cybercrop

 It's our birthday over at  Cookin' Up Creations  and we are celebrating with a Birthday Cybercrop Party on the weekend of March, 18-20 with challenges and games.  Should be a lot of fun!  I hope you'll come party along with us!

My challenge is to make a Birthday Card



I was looking for a different kind of card for a friends 50th birthday and found this design by Jennifer McGuire and thought it would be perfect to really make a statement. Here's the link to her video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjt2clftZpw. It was so quick and easy to make. You don't have to make this kind of card but it must be a birthday card.

Hello Fall

 We've got a new sketch up at Sketches in Thyme today. Our sketch this week is by Rochelle Spears and it is super cute. I really had fun with it! I hope you'll stop by and play along with us....you never know, you just might win a prize!


Here's the sketch


The papers are from the Celebrate Autumn collection by Lori Whitlock and Echo Park. The circle around the photo was done with some copper Nuvo Drops. The tag is an old one from Tim Holtz and the title was cut on my Cricut. I really like how this page turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Shake Your Cotton Tail

 We've got a new card sketch up at Atlantic Hearts Sketches today. We have a new one every Monday and on Wednesday we announce the previous weeks' winners and reveal all the DT Members examples of the new sketch. I decided to start on my Easter Cards and this sketch was perfect.


Here's the sketch


I found this sentiment on Creative Fabrica and thought it was so cute and would be perfect for my youngest granddaughter's Easter Card. I can see here shaking her little butt when she gets this.

My granddaughter is a budding artist and wanted a painting party for her birthday. I thought the background paper was perfect for the layout. It's from Vicki Boutin's Let's Wander collection. Everything else was just leftovers pulled from my stash.
