Whimsie Doodle and Paper Playtime

There is a bonus challenge going on this week at Paper Playtime! It is an "anything goes" challenge that is sponsored by Whimsie Doodles. The design team were given some digi stamps to play with, and here is what I came up with:



















As soon as I saw these stamps, all I could think was, what an amazing set of 3x3 cards these would be, so that's what I did. I colored them with my Prismacolor pencils and blended them with baby oil, and the paper is from Recollections.



I hope you all come to Paper Playtime and play along wiht us, there may even be some prizes :)

Simple Thanks

Hmmm... this was supposed to auto post yesterday while I was sleeping, and it didn't, but here it is anyway. This is my submission for Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge was to create a Thank You card with a heart, using no red or pink. Here is whht I came up with...











This is a little set of 3x3 cards. I used Gypsy Font for the heart, and MFT for the saying. I embossed the square around the heart, using my Martha Stewart scoring board.



Come over to CCC, get inspired by the DT and come play with us :)



Some Challenges:



Southern Girl - white and black with one pop of color (each card has one pop, so I hope that's not cheating...)

Ippity Challenge - CAS

Cooling Water

It is challenge day over at Paper Playtime. Today's challenge is staying cool in the water. Here is what I came up with:







I used Pack Your Bags, and made a shape card with it. Isn't she cute?? I used Peachy Keen Stamps for her face, which I think turned out so cute, and I used my Scrappy Mom Stamps for the sentiment.

It's Wednesday!! That means it's challenge day over at Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge today was to create a holiday card using any cartridge or color. Here is what I came up with;



Isn't that the cutest penguin?? He is from CAC and the Santa hat is from Pooh and Friends. They "ho ho ho" stamp is My Pink Stamper. The patterned paper is from a DCWV stack, and the rest of the paper is from Michael's. I think it turned put so cute!!
The card is a 4x4 and the layer is 3.75x3.75.

Sorry for the lack of links, I am on my iPhone, and have no clue how to do them on here :) I have just been such a bad blogger this summer, that I wanted to at least get my post up on time. Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Summer fun!!

Man, this summer is being brutal for my blogging. I am either at work, or at the camp, and that's about it :) So much for being a good design team member... I am getiing my projects done, but not posting them to my blog. I am so far behind.

Today is digi challenge day over at Paper Playtime.Each of the DT members has been given some wonderful digi stamps to make a summer themed project with. I bought a Bind it All last week, and decided to break it open and make a note pad, and I am thrilled with how cute it is :) I chose this ADORABLE Gillian stamp from Praire Fairy Designs. Here is my project:



Don't you just loved it?? I think Gillian looks so suumery and cute!! I colored her in with my Prismacolor Pencils and used a CTMH alphabet set to stamp the word "NOTES". It is a 6x4 note pad, and fits perfectly in my purse!!

Everyone should come and play at Paper Playtime, there are tons of digi stamps to be won!! Hope you are all having a great summer!!

HERE IS MINE:

I decided to make a mini Canada Day album, and I am so happy with how it turned out!! The maple leafs are all cut from Create a Critter - my favorite cartridge, and so is the Beaver - isn't he cute?? All the words are cut with Robotz - my go to chunky font. The tags are all from Sweet Treats. Almost all the paper is from my scrap boxes. I am trying to use up what I have :) Most of the card stock is from Stampin Up or Close to My Heart. I have no idea who made the patterned paper, sorry - one of the problems with delving into my scrapbox. I used ribbon from Michaels, and my white and black gel pens to do the doodling. Supe cute eh??
