Caterpillar Spring Challenge

It's Hambo Hoedown Challenge time! I just love their stamps, they are way to cute.This week we had a chance to play with a Caterpillar image and had to use Hot Pink and Bright Green for colours. How fun is that?
They are also having a blog hop tomorrow so if your surfing the net check it out!
Here is my card

Whoa! Just in time for the challenge!

I'm running behind but I managed to squeeze out a card this week using the Ladybug Bloom digi from the Delightful Inspiration blog.

I am also entering this card into the Card-Ideas blog as well. It was to make up your own holiday. So I present "Plant a flower day" This card is just the right size to put a seed package in :)
Have a great night!

More Coffee Please Challenge entry

This fun little coffee girl image came from the Hambo Hoedown challenge blog, free for playing along last week. And speaking of last week...guess what I won :)
Yeah me! I won this bad boy by using my Elephant glittery birthday card :) Anywho, here is this week's image

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Hambo Hoedown - use this image and follow the sketch
Card Ideas - colour challenge using chocolate, caramel and any other colour (purple used here)
Crafts4eternity- embellishment challenge-use fabric (handmade flower), button (inside flower), and beads (2 on top right corner)

Now if you really knew me, you know I hate coffee (can't even stand the smell) so what am I going to do with this card? I am going to give it to the lady at our coffee break ministry who comes 45 minutes early each time to make coffee, tea, and water for the ladies.  She is such a sweetie :)

It's not to late to play along! Click on the links above and join in! Have a great night :)

Here is a quick and easy card I made in about 5 minutes. This was super easy to do with the new digi from the Delightful Inspiration blog. It was free because I played in last weeks challenge. You can get free digis too-go check out the site! For this card I simple printed the digis on white cardstock, added some colour ,shading and a ribbon.Viola, 5 minute card :)
I am also entering this into the following challenge on the Paper Shelter blog. Came across this site today and their digis are cute and hilarious-check it out!

It's hambo challenge time! Elephant card

It's that time again for another awesome Hambo Challenge. This week the free digi was a cute birthday elephant and the challenge was glitter. HELLO-who doesn't make a kids card with glitter? Certainly not me-lol!
Click on the Hambo link above to check out the challenge.
For my card I printed 3 copies of the elephant and popped each section up-an easy and affective way to add depth to a card. The background paper is glittery, his hat is glitter, and I added glitter to the inside of the green circle. (Ya know, just in case there wasn't enough already-teehee)

Dotted puppy mini card

Last week I made an attempt to enter the Meljens Designs challenge blog. They gave us an adorable free puppy digi to use. Unfortunately with my DT obligations I didn't have time to finish it. Yes, it is true I don't craft 24-7. Maybe in my next life-teehee. Anywho, this week their challenge was to use their image and incorporate dots. So I made my puppies dotted, turned my card into a bone (you can see the shape of the bone once opened) and put the word smile on the front. My son LOVED the dog digi and so inside I worte "mommy loves you"
Have a great day and remember to smile, it's contagious!
