365 Cards and D2D Combo Sample!

Aloha and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday! This week I have a combo sample for this week's 365 Cards challenge which is a white space challenge (check out the 365 Cards site for the sketch) and the D2D progressive challenge (it's one of the images from the Lovely Tree set and it's open for another week so stop by!). I colored up that cute little owl with my trusty Copics and made the pennant banner with the SU! Pennant Parade stamp set and coordinating punch. Add a bit of twine through the eyelets and there ya are! As usual, here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - autumn
2. CCEE Stampers - fall scene/something related to fall
3. If The Shoe fits... Scrap It! - Halloween and/or fall
4. Kaboodle Doodles Challenge - Halloween or fall images
5. Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog - something that flies
6. The Corrosive Challenge Blog - flying things
Thanks for stopping by and can't wait to see what you come up with!

D2D Cute Critters

Aloha and welcome to a super cute Saturday with Designed2Delight at Delightful Inspiration! I'm the host for this Saturday's designer challenge which is to "Cute Critters"!! I want to see cute 4-legged critters on your creations. Faith has a lot of options for this and I'm particularly fond of the images with Comet! The image I used is called "Watch Dog" and it just makes me giggle! I printed the image out twice on watercolor paper and used ink and a waterbrush to color it. I cut out the dog and popped it up on the panel. The patterned paper is last year's SU! Christmas DSP and I blinged up the garland a bit with itty bitty red rhinestones. Here's some other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. Alota Rubber Stamps - Christmas
2. Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog - winter theme
3. I Did it Creations Challenge - If I could talk to the animals
4. Simon Says Challenge - inspired by nursery rhyme or fairy tale: This image always reminds me of "The Night Before Christmas" which is kinda a nursery rhyme in my book :)
5. the sweetest thing... - sketch
6. Winter Wonderland - vintage Christmas

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see all your "cute critters"!!

365 Cards - Day 233 - Simply Stamped

Aloha and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday with 365 Cards! This week's challenge is "Simply Stamped"...Pam wants you to use 3 stamps and one embellishment to make your card. I cheated a bit and actually used 4 different stamps (3 for the image and one for the sentiment). Other than that just one lonely rhinestone heart for my embellishment. The stamp set is an old SU! one called..."thanks from the heart." (surprise, I know!!) The colors are Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, and Pool Party. Here's the few other challenges I was inspired by for this one:
1. clean&simple - sketch
2. Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - you choose
3. Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - free and easy

Be sure to check in on Saturday to see my sample for this week's Saturday challenge at Delightful Inspirations/D2D!! It's adorable if I do say so myself! ;)
Aloha,

Another Wonderful Wednesday!

Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday with 365 Cards and Designed2Delight! Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to be inspired by this ads from SeaPinks at Etsy:

I thought these cute little pumpkin pincushions in pink were perfect to inspire both those Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness cards that we all need to make this month! Of course, pink is my favorite color too so I really liked these!

This card also uses this week's progressive freebie from Designed2Delight, Hope Butterfly. It's still free for a day or so, so go get it!
