Thursday's Catch The Bug Challenge

Today's project was to make anything that has to do with snow. I love the little penguin with his arms full of snowballs, I just knew that I had to use him for this project. I sure am getting my Christmas cards done early thanks to this challenge!

Here is my card for today's challenge:



Catch The Bug Challenge Thursday: Snow Business, any project with Snow!

I almost didn't get my card done for today's challenge because we went to Denali yesterday and didn't get home until really late. But it was so worth it since Mt. McKinley was out in full view for us all day! It was a wonderful day and I somehow did manage to get my card done. =)




Have a wonderful day!

Today's challenge at Catch The Bug Challenge Blog is to use a sketch they provide. Here is the sketch for this challenge:



Here is the card I made for today's challenge:


I used the Har Repotter gentle one digi stamp from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I think these are one of my favorite stamps sets, I just love all things Harry Potter! I used paper and bling that I had on hand. I'm so glad I'm getting a head start on making my Christmas Cards thanks to this challenge!

I made this card for the Wednesday Challenge found here at Catch The Bug Challenge Blog,

Dustin Pike Challenge - Hot and Bothered

This week the challenge was to create something summer themed, wet and wild or sun filled. I don't think there is anything that says summer more than fishing! =) I used Bic Mark It pens to color the images. I haven't really used them before and I think they did an OK job. =) You can find the challenge here along with all of Dustin's awesome digi stamps for sale and a few freebies too!

Har Repotter: the chosen one

I can't believe July 15th is next week! I can't wait to get together with good friends and enjoy the end of an awesome series! The Harry Potter movies by far have to be my favorite of all time! I love the Har Repotter stamps from Bugaboo, they are just so darn cute! I used The chosen one to make my card for this weeks challenges, I used Prismacolor pencils to color him in and paper that I had on-hand to finish it off with.

How cute is this little dinosaur from Bugaboo Digi Stamps? I just love it! I made this little card for my nephew. He loves dinosaurs! I colored him with 903 and 913 Prismacolor pencils. I used the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls Embossing Folder and paper that I had on-hand.

Bugaboo Stamps Wacky Wednesday: Challenge #8

I really am loving these challenges because I have an excuse to make cards and play with paper! =)

Lemon & Lavender

I love this little fairy from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I think she looks so cute in yellow and purple. I made this little card for two challenges. Here are the links to both of them:

Simon Says Stamps use LAVENDER & LEMON

Peachy Keen Stamps use this sketch


This was my first Simon Says challenge and my second Peachy Keen. I thought it would be easy to make a card when you follow easy direction such as use yellow and purple and follow the sketch provided. It was a lot harder than I thought and took me a few days to come up with the final card. I like the way it turned out though. =)



Have a great day!

BugWW#7

I joined PCP a while ago but never figured it out or really did anything with it, until this challenge popped up. I just hope that I uploaded everything the right way. I love this little girl and swing from Bugaboo! She is just so darn cute! I cut her out and just added her onto the swing. I have never tried to make this type of card before but it was really easy, I found the directions here. I just used paper that I had on hand and colored her with prismacolors 946, 945, 941, 929, 913, and 903. I blended the colors with goo gone.

You can find the challenge here at Bugaboo Wacky Wednesday #7.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Card for my little sister

My sister and I live at opposite ends of the USA and I miss her dearly! I made her this yesterday and I hope she likes it. She is my best friend and I wish that we lived closer!


I found the sentiment at Create with TLC, they have a saying for just about anything you could ever imagine!

4th of July card

I just love the 4th of July! I love how families seem to all gather together for a BBQ or picnic and just spend time together. I adore this little turtle and I think I might make a few more blank ones to send to Operation Write Home. Being from a military family I think what they are doing is great!

I just used paper that I already had on hand and bought this cute little turtle from Bugaboo Digi Stamps, they have lots of little turtles for different holidays. I colored the little guy with prismacolors 901, 902, 908, 911 & 924 and then blended the colors with goo gone.

I entered this card in two challenges which you can find here:

It's A Party~Challenge

It's time for another challenge at Dustin Pike! I love these because I actually make cards instead of buying them. I have tons of projects I want to do...I just never seem to sit down long enough to do them all! Click here to find the challenge. I love love love that Dustin has hummingbird images! They are my grams favorite!!! Here is the birthday card we made for her. My little one wrote her a note on the inside. =) I just colored with prisma's and goo gone and then added stickles to the flowers and the throats of the hummingbirds. I really want to use markers but when I do it looks like a kid colored them!

Doodle Dragon Studio's Sketch challenge.

I love challenges where you get to use a sketch. I have such a hard time coming up with them on my own. I flipped it on it's side so the littel elephant would fit. I need a few birthday cards this month so here's the first one that I've got done. I'm not sure who is getting it yet but now I'm one down and five to go! July is so busy for our family. Have a great day!

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! We're going to grill out and me and the little one are going to make cupcakes. We aren't going to get to watch fireworks because it just doesn't get dark enough yet. We do however get to watch fireworks on Halloween! Living in Alaska is definitely an experience. I wouldn't change it for anything!

This first card is made with a digi stamp from the Digi Shack I used a stamp for the dollar section at Joann's and stamped on ribbon with versamark ink.



I like how simple this one is. I used the stars emboss folder and ribbon from Michael's.



These last two I totally cased! I loved them so much that I couldn't wait to make them. I Can not for the life of me remember where I saw these cards. I wish I could so I could thank her for the idea. I had to use different embossing folders for the stripes because I didn't have the ones she used on hand. I think I like the ones that has inked edges best.




Thanks for stopping by and have a great holiday!

Sympathy card

I made this sympathy card for a friend a while ago. I used my cricut to cut out the butterflies and with sympathy. I used the calligraphy cart for the wording and Storybook for the butterfly. I used the cuttlebug folders swiss dots and D'vine swirl. I found the saying online and it just seemed right. I was inspired by all of the cards that Susie B makes. Her gallery is awesome! www.heartprints.net
