Love to Craft! Challenge Blog #19: 85th Birthday

Hello crafty friends!  I have 3 posts for today, so make sure you check them all out, because there are 3 new challenges happening.  This post is for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, where it's "Anything Goes" every month.

I was ask to create a birthday card for a friend's mother.  She picked out the colors and I just colored the image up with my Prismacolor pencils.  I was a little unsure when she picked out coral and teal (a bad 80's wedding combo was in my head), but when done right, they are beautiful together.  This image is from Power Poppy.

Here's the inside, which was her sentiment she wanted.

Dr Digi: Valentine Treats

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.  It's time to think about those special people you want to give valentines treats to.    Who wouldn't want it from this cute little chihuahua?!

Using Chico the Chihuahua, Box of Chocs and Gift Bag "Pink Bows", I created this cute little treat bag.  Both images are colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  The sentiment is from MFT.  The gift bag from Dr Digi is very easy to print, cut and little tape or glue for the side to make.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #9: Let's Hang Out

Hello crafty friends!  Happy New Year!  I hope each one of you are blessed and have a healthy new year in 2018.

Since it's a new month, I have 3 wonderful posts for you today...enjoy.

This month at Mix It Up Challenge Blog, it's all about masking.  In this photo, I stamped the image that I wanted in front of the scenery that I was creating on mask paper.  Then carefully cut it out.

I stamped the image on the cardstock I was using for my card, then put the mask paper over that image.  Then stamped happily over the mask image.

After I was done stamping everything I needed behind the image, I pulled the mask paper off.  The tire swing and the grass were the main images I didn't want on the little girl.

The images are colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  It was nice to finally use this stamp set I bought years ago at My Favorite Things (MFT).  My goal this year is to use more my of my stamps in my collection, because many are unused.

Happy New Year crafty friends!  May you have a wonderful and blessed 2018!  I can't believe it's another year already....too fast.

Since it's a new month, I have 3 posts for you to enjoy and be inspired.

This month at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, it's Anything Goes.  We have a wonderful sponsor and prize for the winner.

I created a card using sponsor stamp set Tutu from Cas-ual Fridays Stamps.  This set is adorable and so are the sentiments.  All I had to do was pick out what ink color I wanted to use and stamp.  Of course, I had to make it girlie by adding lots of bling.
