Scrapping4fun Challenge #41

I want to thank all you for your sweet comments, it really means a lot to me.  Thank you to my followers.

I hope everyone is ready for another challenge at Scrapping4fun!  For the next 2 weeks it's Anything Goes, but we also want to see some "flags" on your project.  Can't wait to see your projects!

I have quite a few stamps waiting in my craft closet to be used for the first time and this little cutie is one of them.  It's a stamp set from My Favorite Things (MFT), It's a Pirates Life (sadly it's not available anymore).  I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils.  I stamped the clouds from the set and fussy cut them out.  This stamp set came with 14 stamps, which included the sentiment.  I will admit, I did change the sentiment somewhat.  The original said "Arr! I Forgot Your Birthday", but I didn't want that.  So, I carefully cut the "I Forgot" part out, so I can use it later as a complete stamp.  MFT Fishtail Flag Stax die-cut was used for the sentiment and the side flags.  A little twine going through eyelets was needed for the finishing touch.

Here's the inside, using yet another stamp from the set.

Scrapping4fun - #40 Anything Goes + Use Lace or Ribbon

Hello fellow crafters!  I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring.  I love watching the flowers sprout and bloom.  I also hope you are ready for another challenge at Scrapping4fun!  For the next 2 weeks, we want to see your projects for Anything Goes plus Use Lace or Ribbon.  It's easy as it sounds.

I thought this image would be easy to add lace or ribbon and I'll get a head start on my Mother's Day cards.  This cute image is from Bugaboo called Kidz Like Mom.  I colored the image with water color and regular color pencils.  For the lace or ribbon part of the challenge, I used an organza ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbons.  There is a strip behind the image and dp paper wrapping around.  Then using my heat gun, very carefully not to burn the ribbon, to give it some crinkles.  After I got the ribbon the way I wanted it, I squished some flowers and pearls into the ribbon.  (The flowers were white, so I took some Gelatos to color  them.)

Liquid Pearls was used for the necklace and earrings.  Yes, her little cheeks are dark, because she is playing dress up.  I hate to see what she does with the lipstick!

I got to use this ubber cute image Dew Drop Inn from Pattie's Creations.  I colored the digital image with water color and regular color pencils.  The sky was sponged with some clouds and some of the grass was sponged too.  As you can see I went with dots for this challenge.  There are also dots on the ribbon.  I wanted to put something on the little wooden sign, but I couldn't make up my mind what to do...lol.  I used the Welcome to the Neighborhood sentiment, since there are currently 4 houses for sell in my neighborhood and 1 is across the street.  We might be getting some new neighbors.

Scrapping4Fun #39 Anything Goes...

Happy April and Spring fellow bloggers and crafters!  Are you ready for another challenge at Scrapping4fun?  It's an easy one and a favorite among many.....Anything Goes with 3 embellishments.  That's right, we want to see 3 of one embellishment.

I found this cute little stamp set at the Stampfest in Florida last year and I'm finally getting some time to ink it up.  This is Doggone Good by Darcie's.  I colored the image with color pencils.  Yes, I colored white on sorta white.  Lol.

I decided to try a frame card and make a scene.  I've had this fence die laying around for years and have never used it.  Lots of grass was needed for the doggie to play around.  The 3 brads are the paw prints and bone, around and on the sentiment.

One thing I liked most of Darcie's stamps sets, they have these cute buttons that coordinate with the images.  I use one on the dog playing.  I also have buttons to go with the dog sitting, but I didn't want 2 white dogs.  You need to color the images to match whatever color the buttons are, which is no big deal to me.  I also have buttons to do shrink-a-dinks images, they make the cutest buttons to wear.

Here's the inside.
