And my third and final entry in the Allsorts Birthday Challenge

Allsorts:  #520/521 Happy Birthday
Crafty Card Makers: #231 Birthday's
Through the Craft Room Door: ATG
Digi Tuesday: #21 ATG
Pattie's Creations Challenge: #158 Birthday's

     For this card, I actually started with an image that was a scene. I had even stenciled clouds on it, but to my dismay I got ink on it and couldn't salvage it. So I cut the llama out and discarded the rest. I chose my paper, and decided on a layout.  I stamped the sentiment and put it on a red          background and popped it up with pop up dots. I added red sequins, rick rack, and a flower and called it finished.

Color Crazy Challenge: Wk. 18/19  ATG
Get Creative Challenge: #80  ATG



This card was inspired by the challenge at Allsorts. They are celebrating 10 years of Challenges and they have some awesome prizes.
I wanted something bright and floral so this is what I came up with.  A friend bought me an adult coloring book with illustrations by Margaret Feinberg. I tore out a page and cropped part of the image to a manageable size and colored it with Copics.  The sentiment, I believe is by Stampabilities. I hope you like it.

Last post of April. Where does the time go?

Allsorts: wk 517 Mothers Day/Feminine

Crafty Sentiments Design: Lace and/or Ribbon Challenge

Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends: #104 ATG

Here is a side step dresser card. This was my challenge to my friend Glenda. We are having so much fun challenging each other. It helps keep those creative juices flowing. I hope you enjoy my card.

It was brought to my attention that I didn't follow the rules to be eligible to win in one of the challenges I entered. So in an attempt to remedy that I would like to share with you how I constructed my card.
First I chose the two different patterned papers. Then I stamped my images and fussy cut them. I actually drew the tutu and the ballet shoes, then colored them with Copics and fussy cut them as well. I popped up the drawers with double sided Scotch foam tape and added a piece of lace to the bottom drawer. Then I added my embellishments and stamped my sentiment.

Here is another card with a fun fold. Glenda and I take turns challenging each other. This has been really fun and inspiring. Today I have a collar fold. I decided to make it look like a dress and turn it into a Mother's Day Card. I hope you like it!

 I accepted her challenge to make an Explosion Card. This was really fun and our challenges are a fun way to encourage each other to try new techniques and folds. I recommend a challenge buddy.

I thought I would give the tunnel card a try. So, I challenged my friend Glenda and we both agreed to give it a try. I must admit this fold was a little hard to grasp from the tutorial I watched. This card is not without flaws, but I think the end result is cute. I think any little girl would be happy to receive it.

My friend Glenda has been giving me personal challenges, this is the first one I accepted. This is a bridge card, it is a very sweet fold. I made this card for a friend that just had twin girls. The card folds down flat to fit in an envelope nicely. I bought this stamp set at Hobby Lobby. I believe it is a Stampabilities set but not exactly sure. Of  course, the outer wrap went missing.

   I made this waterfall card for the interactive card challenge at Simon Says Stamp, Wednesday Challenge.  I won the paper on Facebook, where you can win it before you can buy it. This is from the Spring Fling pack from Echo Park. I love this time of year when Spring is the next season. It's time for sun, flowers and outdoor activities. The soft pastel colors are a gentle reminder that Spring is on it's way.
