Tori the Dragon Birthday Card

 Hello and happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing a card for the Corrosive Challenge Blog: Anything Goes.

I'm featuring a card using Tori the Dragon by Conie Fong Art.  I thought this little creature was super cute!

The challenge goes through the end of the month so you still have time to enter!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Penguin Pal with Scribbles Designs

 Hello.  This weekend was definitely relaxing so I managed to make a few cards.  I wanted to enter a new to me challenge, using their free digi stamp.

So I recently rediscovered Scribbles by Sandy, so I'm featuring the latest Penguin stamp for their Penguin Pals challenge.

I made a couple of these, trying to get a jump start on Christmas cards since last year I didn't have enough.  I put Ranger ink on my Cuttlebug embossing folder - anyone still have a Cuttlebug out there - to make for the debossing effect (I could be completely wrong on that term).  The penguin was colored and cut out.  Card is completely flat for easy mailing.

So I'm now up to three cards for Christmas!!

That's it for today.  Have a wonderful Monday and thank you for stopping by.

Morgan Art World Winter Girl Card

 Hello and happy Hump Day!

I'm here to share a card for Corrosive Challenge Blog: Anything Goes:

I'm featuring Winter 7 from Morgan Art World.  She's colored, cut, and popped up.  Officially my first Christmas card made this year.

 

The sentiment is from TLC and the snowflakes are from Sizzix.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.  Have a wonderful week!

This meets the following challenges:  A Place to Start: Anything Goes, The Cutie Pie Challenge: January Blues, Avenue 613: Anything Goes/Winter, and Dare 2B Artzy: Winter Fun.

Tiddly Inks Elephant Cards

Hello and happy Friday!  Today I would like to share a couple of cards using adorable elephants!

Both cards feature Fur Reals Animals from Tiddly Inks from Etsy.  A while back I got a few Tiddly digis on sale, and I'm finally getting around to using them.  On this card, the sentiment is cut a few times and glued together for stability and added dimension.

On this one, I made his ground using Ranger inks.  Both the banner and sentiment are from My Favorite Things Sending Sweet Celebration Wishes, and the layout is MFT sketch WSC475.  This ones is not my favorite and I think it's because the chocolate cake just stands out - and not in a good way.

Both cards have the elephants fussy cut and popped up.

So that is my share today and I thank you for taking a look.

These meet the following challenges:  Critter Crazy Challenges: Anything with a Critter, Crafts Galore Encore: Anything Goes, Die Cut Divas: Valentines, and Digi Choosday: Anything Goes.

Meljen's Mouse Valentine Card

 Hello and happy Hump Day!  Today is a particularly cold day, so I've been looking up soup recipes and thinking about what kind of craftiness I can enjoy this evening.  I really am focused on 1) de-cluttering and 2) taking time for myself.  Not really new year resolutions, just changes I would like to accomplish.

Anyway, for today I'm sharing:

I'm not quite sure if this is a Valentine/Galentine card, or a just-because type of card.  But I wanted to color up this little critter from Meljen's Digital Stamps - I'm not sure if she has her own blog anymore, but I found her stamps at Whimsy Stamps.  The sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps.  I added a bit of ribbon that wrapped a robe purchased from Costco - and I didn't have the heart to toss it with the rest of the packaging.  So a bit of upcycling on this!

Nothing terribly fancy, and a rather simple layout.

So that's it from me.  Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful weekend!

This meets the following challenges:  A Place to Start: Anything Goes, Simon Says: Four Legged Animal, Stamps & Fun = Creativity: Anything Goes, and A Gem of a Challenge: Anything Goes.

Scribbles by Sandy Sunflowers Card

 Hello!  Another week, another card.  I'm on a roll!

Today I would like to share a card using a digi stamp I've had for years.

My favorite flowers are daisies and sunflowers.  I've never been a rose type of gal.  Anyway, the title on this stamp included Scribbles by Sandy - so hopefully this is properly credited.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things Freshly Picked Bouquet set.  I left my card flat for easy mailing.  A really simple creation, just trying to get in a little crafty time each week.

Thank you for taking a look and have a great week.

 This meets the following challenges:  Digi Choosday: Anything Goes,  A Gem of a Challenge: Anything Goes, and Use Your Stuff: Sewing.

Wild Animals Birthday Cards

Hello and happy fall!!  I would have to say my favorite season is fall.  There is just a feel to the air that draws me in.  Anyway, today I'm sharing a set of cards:

All the cards feature Stampin' Up's Biggest Wish for the sentiments.  I really like this set.

My critters are from a stamp set that came in the Creative Stamping Magazine Issue 78 from Paperwishes.

These were fun for me since I don't usually use these types of animals on cards.  More realistic.

I don't remember where the papers are from, but I think they are sort of retro looking.  Super simple layouts but I think they came out ok.

Thank you for taking a look and have a wonderful weekend!

My cards meet the following challenges:  Addicted to Stamps: Birthday, Digi Choosday: Anything Goes, Passion for Markers: Use a Rubber or Clear Stamp (I used both), Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, and Jan's Digi Stamps: Anything Goes.

Let's Celebrate You Horse Card

 Hello and happy Monday!!  Popping in to share a creation using a digi stamp I won a while back.

This card features Pony Flower by Hetty Clare.  I love blue daisies!  I created my plaid background using the Plaid Layering Stencil from Taylored Expressions, as well as the All About You sentiment and diecut from My Favorite Things.

That's it for today!  Thanks for taking a look and have a wonderful week!

Wish Fish Ocean Handmade Card

 Hello and wow it's already August!  So much going on in life, but I'm trying to fit in a little coloring and card making whenever possible.

 I made the following for the latest Corrosive Challenge: Anything Goes

 

The Emma the Mermaid and Friends digi set is full of underwater goodness and I completely fell for this fish image.  The background is also part of the digi set, but I only colored the main image so it would pop.

There still a bit over a week to enter this month's anything goes challenge.

Thank you for stopping by!

This meets the following challenges: Digi Choosday: Anything Goes, Through the Craft Room Door: Anything Goes, AAA Birthday: Anything Birthday Goes, and The Paper Players: Keep it Simple Nautical.
