101 Dalmatians....ok, just 1 Dalmatian!

Yes, I'm a cat person.  But I do love all animals and so thought I should use a dog image.  The image is from Meljen's...who just happens to have a theme this week of "Bookworm" so why not make a card with a Dalmatian dog for "101 Dalmatians".  The image is colored with pencils and the paper is some I've had in the stash.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• Meljen's Designs - Bookworm
• Artistic Impressions - Anything Goes/Buttons
• Crazy Challenge - Die Cuts/Punches
• Use Your Stuff - Layers
• The Sweetest Thing - sketch

Thanks for stopping by today!  God bless you!!!

Saturday in the Craft Room

I was able to spend a few minutes in the craft room yesterday (even though I should have been cleaning - LOL!!).  I have three to share today.

First is a card made with the freebie this weekend at MelJen's.  Don't you just love freebies?  The cupcake just screamed out SPARKLE to me so I had to add lots of Stickles.  The icing is actually white using icicle Stickles but it came up looking blue in the photo...to figure!

This card is being entered into the following challenges:

• Twisted Tuesday - Red, White, Blue w/ stars
• A Creative Romance - Colors of your National flag
• Bloggers - Red, White, Blue
• Crafty Catz - Stars or Stripes
• Shopping our Stash  - Red, White, Blue
• PolkaDoodles - Red, White, Blue
• Crafter's Cafe - Red, White, Blue

Next up is a more realistic image from Eureka Stamps.  I love this duck and needed a masculine card to send out this week.  The buttons were from my stash.

 This card is being entered into the following challenges:

• Creative Corner - Outdoors
• Inkspirational Challenges - used water and an animal in the water as inspiration
• Eureka Stamps - Farm Animals
• Robyn's Fetish - Animals
• Crafty Creations - Things with Wings

Lastly, I made a card specifically for the challenge over at Sweet n Sassy Stamps - Big Blooms.  I used Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Tulip Flower Block and colored it using pencils.  Colored pencils is still my favorite coloring medium I think (even though I don't do it much anymore).

 

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
• 4 Krafty Girlz - Anything Goes

Twist of Faith #63 - Lots of Layers / {PIN}spirational #83

It's TWO FOR TUESDAYS here in my world today!  I have two projects to share today.  

First up is Twist of Faith - Challenge #63 - LOTS OF LAYERS.  As soon as I saw the "Pretty Poinsettia" image by Meljen, I knew what I wanted to do.  Printed the image out several times and then cut the layers out and raised them with pop dots.  Christmas always should have some sparkle so I added some red Stickles to the petals.  I also used some layers with the paper too...and then added a simple sentiment to the inside.

 (side view and inside)

Next up is {PIN}spirational Challenges #83....here is our inspiration picture...

Isn't it just adorable!!!  Our sponsors this week are Creative Bug Digital Stamps and Bugaboo.  I was able to use a Bugaboo image.  I didn't want to use traditional baby colors because of the pea pod so I found some paper in my stash that was just perfect with the pea pod color!  Add a few buttons and voila!

I hope you come by both Twist of Faith and {PIN}spirational this week.  You could win some great prizes!!  Thanks for stopping by today and have a very blessed day!!!

Twist of Faith #51 / {PIN}spirational Challeges #71

OOO - time is running short!  I overslept this morning and have to get to work but needed to do my post for Twist of Faith Chard Challenges and {PIN}spirational Challenges.   Since I'm running late, it's double duty time - one post for both challenges.  

Twist of Faith's sponsor this week is MelJen Designs and the theme is "Animals".  Now if you've ever visited MelJen's, you found there are some really adorable animal digi's.  One of my absolute favorites is this little piggy....colored him with markers but my marker wasn't cooperating and didn't work very well...but I must admit that I like the effect it gave.  Love when a mistake turns out looking good (at least to me - LOL!!).

My little pig is also joining the fun at:
Meljens Challenge - You've been framed
Creative Card Crew - Down on the Farm
Twisted Tuesday - Use Pink - Twist: outdoors
Cutie Pie Challenge - Anything Goes
