Memory Box March Challenge

Since I have today FREE, I decided to do the fun March challenge at
Memory Box !
The theme is BIRTHDAY, easy peasy!

I recently purchased some new MB dies that I love,
so doing this challenge is a pleasure!
The dies used are Garden Pail Bouquet and
Notched Eyelet Frames.  I die cut all the flower, leaves
and stems from scraps of white cardstock then 
colored each piece in with various copics for the leaves
and ink left in my brushes for the flowers.
The Eyelet frame was cut from a Mintay paper and
the pail from a Tonic Silver Mirror paper.

The colors in real life are much more vibrant, I took multiple photos
but this is the best I could get, must be all the snow we were getting the
day I created this!

Happy Easter

 Double D is feeling like Easter these next two weeks and that is our theme
EASTER!

We have an inspiration board that will hopefully inspire you to play along!

I had these Katy Sue 3D cards just waiting to be featured and what better time then

now for our Easter challenge.  They were just slightly changed a bit by adding

different background papers.

Honeycomb Chick

Having a bit more of 'challenge fun' today when I saw this adorable
mood board and just couldn't resist as Easter is early this year! 

Art Nudge

I loved every single one of these prompts and might have to
join again, but for today I went with the upper
right corner and the cute little chick!
Last year I bought a few of The Greetery honeycomb die sets and this
chick is making his debut here for the first time.  

I have to say I am addicted to The Greetery and love each and every

release!  I am trying to remember to order a pack of Honeycombs with
each order so I never run out!  I kind of went a bit over the top

with her cheeks so next time will do better, sigh!  I added SNS  Daisy
glitter to the wings and sprayed with hair spray to keep the glitter in place
(better not only for the environment but also my craft room)!!
I created a chick shaped card and added the flowers from (of course)
The Greetery  Bitty Botanicals stamps, stencil and dies.

Here is a side view to show the shape of the card, no sentiment inside yet
as I am not sure if it will be Easter or something else.

I hope you enjoyed my little honeycomb chick today!

Hocus Pocus #2

 Hello friends, I am back today with our reminder post
at Two Old Bats.  You still have a couple weeks to join in
our spooky fun with us.  And, of course we have a mood board
for inspiration!

As I mentioned a few weeks I am back with a second card using the 
Hero Arts Witches Hat die this time created in black.
The background is a Waffle Flower die cut on Echo Park's I Love Halloween paper.

The sentiment is die cut from the now out of business Cheapo Dies Haunted letter set.

These hats are a bit addicting to make, they are so fun!!

You still have a couple weeks to join our Halloween fun at

Two Old Bats...what are you waiting for!!!

It's Beautiful Blossom challenge time and we have a beautiful Spring
mood board for inspiration! 

You can always create anything floral but this gorgeous board had me
from the minute I saw it!  I used an old Flourishes stamp set

A Year In Flowers 1, this is a pretty set with other flowers, Pansy, Crocus,

and Primrose. Of course it has the names and months like I have stamped on my tag.

Not sure of the paper as it was a single sheet and to look through all my

many papers to find it would take me at least a day lol!

We would love to have you join us at Beautiful Blossoms!!

Winter-Ful Life

 It's the start of a new challenge at Peace On Earth and we have a
mood board for inspiration but you can create anything
Christmas themed!

While looking through my Christmas stamps for a Christmas sentiment

I came across  this never been used before Christmas/Winter stamp set
from Creative Expressions Snow Fun!  It contains five different ice skating

critters all decked out for winter.  I chose one for this card plus
a few of the other stamps included to complete my card.

I paper pieced , colored and used stickles for my card and even
added a few silver snowflakes stamped with Lisa Horton Limited
Edition Silver Shine ink.  Have you tried her inks yet?
I love everyone I have used so far and this one has such a pretty shimmer.

We surely would love to see YOU over at our Peace On Earth challenge!
