It's challenge time!

I made this card incorporating a few challenges. It's called an easel card. I have to admit I had never done one, but after I realized it's like a 6x6 scrapbook page I may just do a few more :)
So here it is, please look below so you can go to the challenge sites yourself and join along :)

Random crafty things (mostly cards)

 I love pink/brown, I think it's my favourite combo ever. The main image is popped up off the card and of course no fairy is complete without glitter! Enjoy :)

Less is More week 2 challenge

Stumbled across this website  http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/  and spent a few minutes looking through the submissions. One thing that takes me hours to do is a clean and simple card. I know, you would think it would be the opposite. Anywho I made 2 cards, the first one is my first card entry. (it has flowers on the inside of the hearts)  I made it for my hubbie!

Have a great day :)

Delightful inspiration challenge

Hop on over to the Delightful challenge blog and pick up this cute heart freebie!

I also played along on the CDAC with this card in which we had to use specific things to make our cards. I used the following : corner punch, ribbon, pink, thank you, stitches, emboss folder (dots) and flat back pearls.
Have a great night!

Do you stack up? 3rd challenge...take 2

Can you believe it? I was actually able to create and submit 2 cards this week! Man am I on fire-lol.
Challenge again this week is to use pink in your creations. The image is from Bugaboo stamps who is also one of the sponsor's this week. Hurry and get your entry in contest ends tomorrow! Good luck.

It's challenge time!

This is the second part of NettieG's challenge. You can check it out here:

I used pearls to add some elements to the card-they were not easy to adhere. If you plan on sticking pearls to your card I highly recommend dots. Elizabeth is popped up with dimensionals,the edges are scored to make a distressed look. Have a wonderful day :)

Fairydoodler's Den Friday Freebie Challenge

I came across this website that was hosting a challenge and offering a free digi to colour.
http://fairydoodler-fairydoodlersden.blogspot.com/
I really liked the image. It reminds me of when my husband and I were first together and would always have 'stolen moments' amongst all the busyness. 13 years and 3 kids later those stolen moments are hard to find without someone interrupting-lol. This image makes me smile and remember good times.

I am not sure that  I am totally happy with the card I made. Partly I think because I am outside of my usual colour palette. Also, once I took the picture I realized it was blurry and you can't see the word "stolen" But, I give myself kudos for trying a new challenge (all while mending a broken wrist, and getting over nasty colds here)   Enjoy!

NettieG's 3rd Blog Challenge

Well I almost missed it! I have been down and out with both bronchitis and pneumonia since Christmas day. I was able to get out of bed today and looked to see if I had time to enter into the challenge...and I did! Yippee, I am having so much fun doing these challenges. I really encourage you to join along! Wait til you hear what NettieG has in store for the new year. A fashion show card challenge. Sound intriguing? Well hop on over to her blog and check it out. You won't want to miss it. Without further ado here is my card....

NettieG's 2nd Blog Challenge

It's challenge time over at NettieG's Digital Gems blog site. The amazing image of Mary and baby Jesus was sent to me FREE for participating in last weeks challenge. It's not to late for you to join in. Hope on over to her blog to get the scoop!  I didn't dress this card up to much as I wanted Jesus to be the focal point as He should be. I added some glitter to him which changed his garments from beige to a yellow-ish colour. The sentiment is from SU, as is the Christmas paper. I have a feeling I will be making many more cards using this digi stamp, it is one of the most beautiful images I have ever seen. Thanks for looking!

Nativity Card

These cute little digi's are from Dustin Pike. It was fun doing all the colouring and popping them up on dimensionals. I think i may go back and add some bling to the star. See that stamped SU sentiment? I hate when I make a card and the sentiment doesn't stamp perfectly. In hind site I should have embossed it so you could see it better. I was trying to keep the main focus on Jesus so I didn't want it to dark-but it didn't work out. Thank goodness crafting is so forgiving! I'm going to stamp it on another piece of brown card, cut it to size and voila-it's fixed :)
Merry Christmas everyone!

Celebrate You

Just messing around with some Basic Grey papers here. I LOVE Basic Grey paper. It's great quality and they have different 'paper lines' that all match. The stamps used here are from SU. This card I figured could be used for a birthday or maybe a card for someone who recently got a promotion. Have a wonderful day, I'm off to make a card for Nettie G's next challenge!
