Crafty Creations Challenge #172 - Circles, circles, circles

Hello.  This week at Crafty Creations Challenge #172 is to use Circles.  There is something wonderful about circles!  I love them!  We are lucky to have Fresh Brewed Designs sponsoring us this week ... and this cute gal under her giant mushroom was a perfect choice.  Check out all the circles on that mushroom!!

So head over to the Crafty Creations Challenge blog to see what Design Team 1 did with circles.  And while you are there, upload your circle-inspired card for your chance to win from Fresh Brewed Designs!!

Thanks for dropping by.

P.S. I am working on some "ideas" in regards to my blog when my life slows down and I am able to start blogging again on a regular basis.  Until then, I will continue to post on Wednesdays for my desgin team challenges.  Thanks again for being patient.

Crafty Creations Challenge #146 - Woodgrain and Reds

Today I have a card that fits 2 challenges.  I mean, look at these two inspiration photos ... how could I not use them at the same time??!!  Same colours and lots of rustic wood!!

The photo on the left is the inspiration photo from Crafty Creations Challenges #146 - such charm.

The photo on the right is the inspiration photo from Moxie Fab World - Tuesday Trigger - red and rustic.

I started out with a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock and using my Distress inks, created a woodgrain background.

I decided to use this sweet bird charm sent to me by one of my former Secret Sisters! 

 The reds and browns werecreated by using Distress inks direct to paper.  And I do love that burst punch by Martha Stewart!!

If you want to play along with either challenge:

Image Swap - Imke's March Image

This is the image we recieved for an image swap I am in over on SCS.  Isn't this the cutest little thing!!  Imke also sent the little sun charm with the images to make the challenge even more fun!!

I decided to color this gal in using my new Copic markers.  That was a ton of fun.  I started with her yellow hair and then decided to go with purple!  The addition of the ginham paper was required as I love it so much!  I added some yummy blue sparkles to her wings!! 

You can check out all the other creations at our March Gallery.

Thanks for dropping by. 

Just so you know, my life is a bit crazy these days at work.  I hope to get back to posting more regularly but it might be another few weeks before that can happen.  Thanks for understanding.
