Snow......

It is the 5th day of Spring and it looks like winter outside with all this lovely SNOW!!  Here in Minnesota we got 13 inches Sunday night and are expecting another 2 to 4 inches tonight!!  You just NEVER know the weather here, until you look out.

So for this reason I hope to post my last winter creation today.  I used Sweet Snowgirl by Stampendous.  They have such darling stamps, go and buy some (maybe make them Spring stamps).

Here is this week's sketch:

The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge

Here is this week's sketch:

Belli Challenge #163 - Valentine's/Hearts

Here is a fun treat box full of candy for someone special in your life for Valentine's Day!! For the next two week's the Belli Challenge is Valentine's/Hearts.   The image is a retire "Changito The Monkey" cling stamp by Stampendous Stamps.  I colored my image with Copic markers.  The candy wrappers and background paper are from "Valentine" by K&Company.  I used a doily MS punch to create my edges.  My finishing touches are lime green pearls and a hot pink bow.

The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge

It's time for a new sketch over at The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.  For me this sketch was harder, because I am not a clean and simple creator.    First, I used Dots Cuddlebug folder to create my background.  Next, cut out my hearts with the Classic and Scalloped Hearts by Spellbinders.  My designer paper is Dots & Stripes by Echo Paper Paper Co.  The sentiment is Friendly Messages by Stampendous.  My finishing touches are three red pearls.

Here is the new sketch below:

Fancy Floral Wreath

Did you know that there is more to Meljen's Designs than just cute images.  If you are a fan of fancy cards, you might think that you can't create using Meljen's Design.  My card that I have created shows that you can design a beautiful floral card using "Little Layered Flowers Button Daisy", "Little Layered Flowers Mini Cuties", "Little Layered Flowers Stitched Lotus", "Little Layered Flowers Round Leaf" and "Little Layered Flowers Sunburst Daisy.

So take another look through the Meljen's Design store and you too can find images for fancy cards.

Meljen's Design Challenge #100 - Sketch

Here is my creation using "Lucky Duck" from the new Meljen's Design release.  The theme for this week's Meljen's Design Challenge is a sketch.

I colored my duck with Copic markers.  My designer paper is a mat pad by MS.  I used the swiss dot embossing folder by Cuddlebug.  My sentiment is from Stampendous.  My final touch is a yellow button with  white floss.

Rosey with Flower

Here is a card I created using "Rosey With Flower" digi from Fred, She Said.  You can buy Rosey as a digi or  as a pre-coloured set.  I colored the dog with Copic markers.  My sentiment is from Stampendous.  My designer paper is from my sister's craft room as usual.  I shadowed around Rosey with Marvy Ink.  My finishing touches are a brown satin/organza ribbon/bow and pearls. 

Wishing Well

I am using the Wishing Well image from Toucan Scrap.  Our sponser's challenge was to make a creation with the colors white, black and one other color.  So my color is purple.  The purple polka dot paper is from The Paper Studio.  I designed the top paper by using a butterfly and vine rubber stamp by Inkadinkado.  I inked the stamp with Violet by Marvy Ink Pad.  I then glittered the butterflies.  My glitter paper is by Doodlebug and the sentiment is from Friendly Messages by Stampendous.  Then I finished the card with black rhinestones.

Willard the Ant

I am using the Willard stamp from High Hopes Stamps.  I am entering this card into the Water challenge over at High Hopes.  My designer paper is from the citrus matstack, my punch is the Drippy Goo from Martha Stewart and my metal rain drops are from Michaels.  My sentiment is from Rainy Day Changito stamp set from Stampendous.
