A Happy Hello

Hello there! My card today uses a fun little Kite image from Heart Song Designs that is only $1.00! I colored it with Copics and then followed the sketch that is up this week on SCS. Tomorrow is the Heart Song Inspirations April release blog hop! I hope you'll hop on over and join in the hop, one lucky commenter will win the entire April release. Thanks for stopping by!

TT-Florals

This week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge is to use some sort of floral element on your creation. For my card I used this rose stamp from the Pixie Cottage, who is our sponsor as well! I decided to go for a more CAS card and didn't color. I actually like the way it came out! Do you? I hope you'll pop on over to the TT Blog and join us!

CDAC Contest 3rd entry

Here is my final entry over at CDAC. A more cute image, but certianly sing spring! This is also a peek of the April 1st release for Heart Song Designs!

CDAC Digital Aritist Contest-entry #2

This is my second entry for the Crafter's Digital Art Center contest going on. This one is called Flower and Strawberries and is a sneak peek for Heart Song Designs April 1st release!

Acceptance

What a challenging quote....but true. My card uses the current Heart Song sketch of the week and the Heart Song Designs image, Waterlily, we are on #3! There is a freebie up on the Heart Song Inspirations blog too, so you can use that to play along or whatever other image you have that inspires you. We'd love it if you came and played along with us! The DT has lots of great eye candy for you and you might just win a free Heart Song digi of your choosing:) See, lots of reasons to come play! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. hugs...

CDAC Digital Aritist Contest

This image is called Picket Fence Tulips, available at the Heart Song Designs shop. :)

Little Fairy

A fun LO for you today! I was so excited to get to play with the Paper Lace cartridge from Scrapbook Pal, there are some gorgeous cuts on it and many that are pefect for making your own laser cut paper. For my LO I chose the Butterfly cut to make some lacy background paper. I used a 12x12 piece of white cardstock and chose the "Fit To Page" feature so that it would cut it as large as possible and then waited for it to cut! I love all the butterflies! There is even a font on this cartridge so I used that for my title and cut it at 3". I embossed my title with Polka Dots and Swiss Dots embossing folders using my Cuttlebug and added some shine (which you can't really see in the picture) using a Sakura gelly roll pen in Clear Star. Thanks for stopping by!

TT-Anything but a card

This week's challenge over at the Tuesday Throwdown blog is to make anything but a card. I must admit that was a bit challenging for me this week being short on time, and then it dawned on me I haven't made an ATC (artist trading card) in a long time. I thought this image was perfect for it, which was provided by our sponsor this week. Be sure to hop on over and play along with us! Thanks for stopping by:)

Hey Chickie!

A fun spring card to share with you today:) I colored up this cute image from Heart Song Designs called Chick Parade and used some MM paper that I love but have had for going on 2 years I think! I have stopped buying paper until I make a huge dent in my stash:) The sketch was from last week's Wed. sketch over on the Simply Scrapping Crafts site. I hope you had a wonderful weekend...remember to be thankful for all the many blessings that come across your path today! hugs....

Heart Song Release

This is our last week of weekly releases. We are going to do monthly releases starting April 1st with a blog hop from the DT, so be sure to come join us for that! If you buy the entire release bundle you save:) All images are available at the Heart Song Designs shop. Come join us on the Heart Song Inspirations blog and play along with our sketch challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Swan Thank You

This card design is from the first ever Flourishes speed challenge, a chance to win the entire new release they just had...it would be so fun to win something like that as I never, ever win anything! I pulled out this lovely set called Swan Lake and colored it with Copics and stamped the background with a flower bunch that is in the set also. Maybe this will be my time to win, but if not I enjoyed playing along anyway ;)

A gift...

Happy St. Patricks Day! My card is definetly not super green, but I had this one done already and I figure there is green on it so I can't be pinched, right:) This image is called Sunburst Flower and is only $1.00 at the Heart Song Designs shop! I hope you are having a good day....almost Friday! I have been having pretty bad spring allergies but I am so thankful for the warmer weather. Thanks for stopping by.

Potted Barrel

Lace is the challenge this week over at the Tuesday Throwdown! Add a little (like I did) or add a lot, but add some pretty lace to your project. We have another great sponsor this week, so go be sure to enter for your chance to win! My image is colored with Copics and i used some BG paper, trying to use up more patterned paper. Does it seem to mysteriously multiply once you cut into?? Today is my birthday, so I'm off to have a hopefully lovely day with my mom, one of my best friends and later my hubby. Thanks for stopping by!

Each Day is a Gift

The colors over on the color challenge at SCS were so soft and pretty and I thought perfect for this newest image from Heart Song Designs called Vintage Blooms. I colored them with Copics, added some Cuttlebug corner dies that haven't seen the light of day in way to long, and embossed, distressed and added a pretty doily. The little pearl accents are actually Perfect Pearls in Bisque, love them! Once they dry this little card is going in the mail to my MIL to thank her for my birthday card and little gift. Today is my birthday btw:) Don't ask me how old I am....I'd seriously have to do math to figure it out as I've lost track now! LOL Hope you have a wonderful day and that you are thankful for all the little gifts we each receive throughout each one. Hugs....

Spring!

For the last couple of weeks I have heard glorious bird song again!! I am so happy that spring is coming...I am SO ready:) Here is a fun card using a cute banner for my sentiment and Theadore with Tulip from Heart Song Designs. The Country Life Cricut cartridge has banner cuts on it that make it easy and fun. I hope you are having a great week!

Use those scraps!

Today's Tuesday Throwdown is to use your scraps! Honestly almost all my cards are made with my scraps of paper...I mean you cut one full size sheet and then it's scraps after that and they seem to last forever! I have even gotten to the point of throwing out some paper just because it's been in my scrap binder way to long and I can't stand to look at it anymore:) For my card I used the cute image, Jasper with Bone from Heart Song Designs and colored him with Copics and thought he was sweet enough to make a baby card. Hop on over to the TT blog and join in the fun, you might just win a great prize from our sponsor!

Now Moments LO

I was so excited to get the Paper Lace cartridge from Scrapbook Pal, it's a gorgeous cartridge and you can make your own laser cut paper with it. For my LO I used several cuts off it, here's what I did.

Cut the GioBdr at 1", two times.

Cut the word "Now" at 2 1/2" and emboss with cuttlebug embossing folder.

Sunday Release Time!

Lovely Tulips
Bloom Trimmers One

Happy Sunday everyone! This week's release are perfect for all you floral lovers, which is certianly me! That's what I started drawing when I was a kid and well, I just never really stopped:) The Bloom Trimmers are a new concept as when you purchase them you are purchasing a set which you can easily crop to single images, save those and mix and match and trim out to your heart's content. I hope you like them! Thank you to all our new followers this week!! Next Sunday begins an exciting new feature right here that you are all invited to join in on, and go take a peek at the new Dollar Deals bin in the shop, I'll be adding to that frequently! Have a blessed day! Hugs.....

PTI Princesses challenge- Use a frame; Don't use a sentiment

I am a part of a fun group of bloggers and we do challenges every couple of weeks. Now I haven't had time to participate in a challenge in forever, but it was my turn to host, so I finally got to play a bit! For my challenge use a frame of some sort but don't use a sentiment! Fun, right:) For mine I used two frames, one to frame my frame and one to frame my focal point, and oh how I love that swirly frame. Can't wait to see your cards/projects! Hugs...

TT_Tag You're It!

A fun challenge this week over at the Tuesday Throwdown blog, use a tag on your project! I used this cute little mini tag that I got at Walmart, a whole box of them for under $2.00. We have a great sponsor this week, so be sure to hop on over and join in the fun! Thanks for stopping by.
