I played along with several challenges today:

Unscripted Sketches - sketch

Crazy 4 Challenges - flowers

Fashionista Friday - purple

Stamp Something - flowers

Have a terrific day!!!

VINTAGE SCHOOL GIRL #5 / ADFD New Release...

(Looking for the Claudia & Company Hop? Please scroll down!)

Tammy has a gorgeous new release out today at A Day For Daisies... I love vintage~y things, and these digis are exceptional!!! They are availabe in her ADFD Etsy shop!

I went with VERY clean and simple... I debossed the oval nesty, colored pearls and ribbon with matching Copics and was finished in about 10 minutes... Tammy's images are so gorgeous they hardley need any dresing up - lol!

Thanks for stopping by!

MAISIE LOLLIPOP / C&C Blog Hop & FTL #129...

Today is Claudia & Company's first ever Customer Blog Hop! YIPPPEEEE! I chose my FAVE digi, Maisie Lollipop by Lori Boyd for the hop! (She's named for my baby girl, so I'm kinda biased! LOL)

I decided to color her skirt to match the paper...

And I used the Latest Fall-to Layout, even though I replaced the sentiment with an image!

Here's the hop order to help you along! Next you'll be going to visit Hannah Boyd (who is also a very talented digi artist...)!

EASTER TEA / PTW #53 & DTC #99...

Spring is in the air!!! This image, Easter Tea, is my newest digi over at the Wax Fruit Company! Here I did a little digital paper piecing, since I'm not sure I own any coloring mediums that are pastel - lol!

I love simple sketches like this week's Papertake Weekly challenge, for bigger images. My card base is 5x5. I also played along with a few other challenges for this one:

Digital Tuesday - Punches

Crafty Creations - Garden theme

Creative Cottage - Florals

Forgotten Scraps - Spring or flowers

Party Time Tuesday - Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by!

THANKS A BUNCH / SR#60 & ACT #70...

Wow ~ how did it get to be Wednesday already? Yay, 2 more days until the weekend - lol! We have a sketch challenge for you today over at Stampin' Royalty... and I LOVED this sketch!

I don't remember the name of this stamp, I think it was a Stampin' Up! hostess set? One with all the punch shaped stamps. I used Stacey's awesome Curtain Call Act #70 colors... I just HAD to play with them this week!

Thank you so much for stopping by~

GRASSHOPPER'S UMBRELLA / Mojo #179, SSIC #76...

I have a group over at CDAC for the Wax Fruit Company, and I've really been having fun over there! All those ladies are super sweet! After I finished drawing this digi, I put up a sneak peek and ran a little contest. The first person who guessed what the new stamp was going to be would win it! Here was the sneak peek:

Patricia Gomez was the winner! I really thought I would have everyone fooled - lol! The stamp is called Grasshopper's Umbrella.

I used the Mojo sketch, altered a little of course! I also played along with a new-to-me challenge Stampin' Sisters in Christ, Simply Create and Totally Papercrafts.

Bye for now...

POCKET SILHOUETTES / CQC #73 & LiM #3...

Happy Tuesday! Here's a card that I literally threw together in a few minutes for today's colourQ challenge! Quick cards can be so fun and stylish, but I hardly ever make them...

But I have been trying more the last few weeks since I found the Less Is More challenge ~ so fun! Their theme this week is spring...

By for now...

THE RED WHEEL BARROW / WFCo New Release & SSSC #105...

Good morning! I was a busy bee over the weekend, laundry, playing outside with the kiddos and doodling! This is from a new set at the Wax Fruit Company called The Red Wheel Barrow! It was inspired by a poem of the same name by William Carlos Williams.

I played along with Karen's sketch for this card. Using some of my October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper, in my favorite colors of course, I blocked in the background. And I added some buttons, since I can't seem to make a card these days without buttons - lol!

Have an awesome day!

CORN LILIES / WFCo New Release, FTL #128 & WMSSC #44...

We had another gorgeous day in the mid 70s! And another day playing outside! This new image from the Wax Fruit Company is called Corn Lilies, and here I paper pieced it... I just love that technique!!!

The sentiment is from a set called Encouraging Words. I think what I love most about this set is being able to color in the focal word to match!

I get great inspiration each week from Clean & Simple Stamping's Fall-to Layout... I rarely miss it! Sometimes I manage to stick to clean and simple, but I admit that most of the time I get more complicated with it than I should! This card is based on this week's Fall-to Layout and the challenge at Wee Memories to base something on our source of inspiration.

Have a great night!
