The frog is popped up on dimensionals. The flowers are popped up and glittered. I added the 2 sets of flowers on the bottom corners, popped and glittered them as well.

Man Card challenge

Like many others I don't make that many man cards. Not that I don't need them, I'm just inclined to used ribbon, flowers, rhinestones, glitter etc. Stuff not usually found on a man card. Today I am entering this card into a few man challenges. Here is my card:
Notice I did put glitter on the wings? Couldn't help it -teehee. Here are the challenges and their links:
Cards for men-make a masculine card using circles
Bunny Zoe's Crafts- make a man card
Stamping Vacation -use the words ' a round'

When I gorw up , clowing around challenge

You have until May 3rd to play Stamping Vacation's challenge "when I grow up" - clowns. When I first started decorating this clown many, many sayings popped up in my head. With 3 small children everyday I am subject to a fashion show daily. The children dress themselves several times as we try to get them to 1) put on  matching socks 2) wear their own clothes 3) dress appropriately for the weather 4) wear their clothes the right way.  I'm not to picky, I totally think kids should express themselves. However, t-shirts in winter, pants that almost come up to your knees (because they belong to your brother), and a soccer sock paired with a tube sock just isn't right-lol. Anywho, the children thought I dressed him up 'cool'. All I could think of is how much my children make me giggle (especially when it comes to their fashion sense-teehee) Hope he makes you giggle too.
I would like to enter this card into Bunny Zoe's Crafts' Challenge- make a man card
Thanks :)

Catch the bug challenge time!

Hello everyone! I hope your had a wonderful weekend. Here in Canada, some people have to work while others get the Easter Monday off. Fortunately, my hubbie was one of the lucky ones and we were able to spend 4 days together as a family enjoying friends and family visits. So with that many days off, what's a girl to do??? Craft, Craft, Craft :)

The Catch the Bug blog is run by Bugaboo stamps. If you haven't heard of them, you should check them out. Very cute stamps! This weeks challenge is to make a 'rain' card. Here I used a Nana Vic image I had in my stash. Although I promised to only use scraps for my cards until I ran out, I got a wicked deal on the peel and stick borders (so they are new-but with more than half off who can blame me right?)  Anywho, here is my card:

for the recipe I used :mini prints, some pastels,flowers  and spring.
You have a few more days to jump in and play, so get to crafting-lol.

Hambo Hoedown 'Announcement' Challenge

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, It's Hambo Hoedown time, are you ready to play? This weeks challenge is another fun one! The challenge: use the King image and make an announcement. Easy peasy..make sure you scroll down to find what the inside says (giggles)
Inside says : Well, now that you know I'm here......

Haven't decided who I will give it to, or for what occasion but I think I left it open enough for a few options!
I'd also like to enter this into the Stamping Vacation Challenge : You name the challenge. I think my challenge name would be "make a card to brighten someone's day" ( I know I would giggle if I received this!)

Have a great Easter :)
