Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog #73: Bare Necessities

Hello fellow crafters!  I just had a weekend full of boys for my now 11 year old's birthday.  So much energy in one house, they wiped me out.  I'm ready for a restful week...lol.

Hopefully you had some time to start creating this weekend and are ready for our new challenge at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.  For the next 2 weeks we want to see projects with "Bare Necessities", that means no more than 2 embellishments, keep it simple.

We have 3 lovely sponsors for this challenge and that mean 3 wonderful winners.

The winner will receive 2 images of choice.

The winner will receive 3 images of choice.

The winner will receive 4 images of choice.

Thank you sponsors :o)

I created a card using sponsor image Baby Chicks from Angie's Cards & Digis.  It's just adorable!  The image was colored with my colored pencils and I kept it very simple.  No embellishments for me.  I just stamped hello in the corner and distressed the paper.

Here's the inside.

For this challenge I made 2 cards, so it's a little long.  First is the sponsor image from Angie's Cards & Digis.

I'm using the sponsor image Butterfly on a Toadstool.  I like to color nature scenes.  The image is colored with my color pencils and I sponged the green background (which the pic doesn't show it's true beauty).  I decided to add a little more pop of red with the paper.

Here's the inside.

My second project of this challenge:

For my second card I used a image from my stash, but it's still A Day for Daisies image, which is one of our sponsors.  The image is called Hope, but I could no longer find it on their website.  It's a beautiful image too.  This is colored with my color pencils.

Some pearls on one side, lace on the other.  The designer paper is from Michele R Designs.

Here's the inside.  The sentiment is from Unity called Remember YOU Baby Jesus

thanks for looking and reading :o)
