Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog #294 Theme is 'Cute'

 Are you ready for some cuteness overload?  Well that is the theme for the February challenge over at Crafter's Cafe.  We have a wonderful sponsor also!  Guess which one...

Polkadoodles

Prize~￡8.50/3 Digital Images

I absolutely love working and creating with the images from Polkadoodles!  Their images are everything you want in a digi stamp.  Crisp, clean and easy to figure out.  They are just a joy.  Go on over and give a thank you and show some love.

On to my project.  My image is called Friendly Cuddles Horace & Boo.  This is what I have created.

I have used bright orange card stock from AC Crafts for the
main card base and envelope.  The background paper is from 
a scrapbook page kit from Provo Craft I found at a thrift store.
I colored Horace and Boo using my Prismacolor Pencils and
cut it out with a 1/8 border with my Silver Bullet Pro Cutter.  
I found scrap orange and blue and created the cuddles word in
the upper right corner.

Just a better image of my card.

My daughter in law is a Veterinarian.  I try to make her 
birthday card animal related (sometimes it is hard to come up 
with an idea for her).  You can see the background paper really
well here.

And the back of the card with my sticker and intial.

This card had me racking my brain.  I couldn't come up with an idea for this cute image to save my soul.  What I usually do is go over to Splitcoast Stampers and look at the gallery.  I find a card I like and then it is much easier to create.  

Thank you so much for reading my blog for the month of February.  I'll be back next month with another super creation.

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #240 'Add a heart'

 Hello everyone!  Good that you could join me!  Gripe upcoming.  Every time a challenge takes place I need to come up with something to share.  BUT...what if I didn't have a great month or something happened that I just don't want to share at the moment?  I have a rubber stamp made by Stampin Up (2004) that says "If life's boring make something up!"  Sooooo guess who won the mega millions jackpot a couple of weeks ago?  Not me!    Let's see who our fabulous sponsors are for this challenge.

I have to say I am so happy that our fearless leader (aka Lena) has brought on board these two new sponsors.  This challenge I am using an image from Last Minute Manda.  So head on over to each new sponsor and leave some love and a thank you!

Alrighty then, here we go with my creation for February.  The theme is 'add a heart'.

I am using an image from Last Minute Manda called Mr. Gnome Valentines.  Here is what I came up with.

Boy howdy!  This was so much fun.  I had saved it for a time
when I could really enjoy myself and just create.  The base
card stock is from Paper House.  The flowered paper I picked
out especially at Joanns for this project.  The green background
is also Paper House.  I used a die that I purchased from KS 
Crafts on Amazon that is a scalloped slimline set with several
sizes. The cut out die was also included.  I colored these gnomes
using my Prismacolored Pencils and Shuttle Art Alcohol Markers.
I used mirrored card for the hearts and I used colored jute twine
for balloon strings.  Here are closeups of each gnome.

This little gnome is many shades of green.

This spiffy gnome is many shades of red for Valentines Day.

This little gnome maybe many shades of blue but he is
anything but Blue!

Remember the cut-outs from the front?  Well I used them
for the inside of my card.  Happy Valentines Day.

This crooked picture is the back of the card with my label
and my initial.

Can you tell I had a lot of fun making this card?  I had a blast.  There is something to be said about

working ahead with DT projects.  I hope you have enjoyed what I have made.  See you next month for another challenge brought to you by Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.

So for now...

Be Safe, Stay Well and know that you are Blessed!
