A Perfect Time To Create

We are back with Fred She Said as our sponsors this month.  

And I got to play with come really cute hummingbirds this month.  

Wee Hummingbird and Petunias

I even googled hummingbirds for a colour reference.  I found a beautiful canvas that had some bright colours, so I used that to base my birds on. 

I think I have found my new favourite bird.  They are so cute!  I honestly didn't use any certain flower for my colour choice.  I just went bright.  So I apologies to my little birds if this is not their food choice....hehe.

Happy crafthing.

Bugaboo

is one of our great sponsors this month.  I was lucky enough to work with this quirky image

Close Knit Friends

This is such a cool image.  How many ladies out there wouldn't love to use this for a "knitting" friend?  A few I bet.  And really there is not much else you need for this one. The laughing ladies are the focus so I kept the background as simple as possible.

April Christmas

 

Don't panic!  We still have a long way to go until Christmas (be here before you know it!)

Today I am sharing with you a card I recently made for a class. 

We are making one Christmas card a month, that way by the time it rolls around we will have enough projects in our stash and there will be no need to panic.  

A little angel set from Pink and Main.  I don't have any in my huge stash of stamps so when I seen this one I grabbed it.  Handy for many, many themes, both happy and sad.  This one is a simple.  

A little blending here, some stencil work and a little colouring in there.  And the angels are so quick and easy to colour in.    

The PEACE is actually an alpha set from 

Uniquely Creative

Upper Case Outline Alpha

and I cut it out of some glimmer card stock (hard to see it in the photo).  It added just the right amount of bling to make it seasonal.  

Glad you stopped by. 

Happy crafting!

Back again with another great sketch over at 

Sketch Saturday

And here is my version.

I love these little yellow fellows. Unfortunately they are part of a Limited edition box from

 Kindred Stamps

so they are unable to be purchased at this time.  You never know if they might bring them back in a vault release.  Fingers crossed!

They make cardmaking very easy.  I used a banner across the middle instead of the rectangle shape.  Does the same job though.

This week we have something a little different for you. 

We are joining forces with Double Trouble Challenges.  This challenge will run for 2 weeks instead of our usual 1 week.  So gives you plenty of time to be inspired.

Add flowers and/or use the colours provided.  

And now, for my project. Hee hee!

I stayed very much in the theme in all aspects.  Colours, flowers AND the little character used above in the challenge promo.  Are they not the cutest!!

I took SU cardstock, Coastal Cabana, Purple Posy, Balmy Blue and Magenta Madness.  Through in the larger hat - ed cat in the background and coloured the little ones as close to matching as possible with my Copics.  

The characters are a set from Kindred Stamps called Out of the Bag .  So many "Things" can be done with the sit.  Cannot wait to play with it a little more.

Don't forget to play along with the challenge for your chance to guest DT with us awesome ladies!  LOL It really is a fun team to be on.

Happy crafting.

Back again with another great sponsor over at Penny's.

This challenge I got to work with LeAnn's World 101/

Image is

Rocky and Renae

Looks like Spring where these 2 are.  Oh to be outside without a care.  The gingham in the background kind of reminds me of a picnic blanket, don't you reckon?  That was a very happy coincidence.  

Now with the character on the left I reckon it could be a boy or girl but I coloured it so it is up to the viewer.  You can choose.  And I done the jumpsuit on the right.  I thought of pretty in pink.  

Thought on some flowers and a sentiment and there you have it. If you would like to play along with us, please do.  There are prizes up for grabs.  

Happy crafting!

This weeks challenge is Butterflies!  

Once upon a time....most of my cards I taught a class would have a butterfly on.  Well, sort of.  If any of the ladies made a mistake we would die cut a little butterfly and cover that mistake right up.  Worked a treat. lol.  

I honestly cannot remember the last time I made a card with a butterfly on it.  So I dived into my stash looking for this set, Avery Elle I think?  I have had it so long I honestly do not remember.  

The trellis die is one I have in my stash but never recorded the company I bought it from...Darn it!

The cursive writing and greenery are a SU set called Very Versailles set.  The sentiment is from the Taylored Expression set.  

Don't forget to play along for your chance to Guest DT with us! 

Happy crafting.
