Glitz Girl Birthday - February 22, 2013







Do you love this adorable image from Saturated Canary?  I sure do! This image is perfect for a sweet birthday card!  I also enjoyed coloring her! I am trying to get a handle on coloring hair, so it is a work in progress.  One of my favorite things to use in both card making and scrapbooking is Stickles, especially diamond Stickles!  Diamonds are a girls best friend!
 
While you are here, doesn't this card put you in the mood to celebrate?  If so, you should sign up for my BLOG CANDY which will be drawn on March 20, 2013 to celebrate the first day of Spring!!

Feelin' Beary Sick - February 18, 2013





Some people dear to me are sick!  I thought it might brighten their day to receive some nice well wishes their way!  Mo's Digital Pencil Too Beary Sick image was the perfect way to create a card for my loved ones!  I have realized that I need to start having more "Get Well Cards" on hand especially by the time I make the card the person is probably well on the road to recovery.  The card layout comes from Sketch Saturday #246.  I added something a little extra by decorating the inside of the card which brings me to my color combo.  My favorite color combo is Purple/Pink.  My favorite color is purple, so I am entering this in the Corrosive Challenge Rainbow Bright #168 which is to use your favorite color combo!  In addition, Paper Shelter is having a Design Team Call, so I thought why not!  That is why I created a close up of my colored image!  And last but not least, Dream Valley Challenge #51 wants you to bring on your bling and ribbon! 

While you are here....please check out my BLOG CANDY, and enter for a chance to win!  It is open until March 19, 2013.  The winner will be announced March 20, 2013!

Tweet of You! - February 17, 2013

`





The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS198 has a spin to use birds or bees on your card!  At first, I thought I would use bees since I belong to a scrapbooking group called the Queen Bees!  However, digging through my stash, I found this great paper pad from My Mind's Eye called Fine & Dandy.  It has lots of birds, and beautiful papers which which coordinate well together and make a fun card!  Just a perfect way to say thanks to someone so "tweet"!

Be your Best! - February 8, 2013






I just love this card because it reminds us to be the best we can be at whatever we do!   For us crafters, we are always trying to strive to be the best!  God has really instilled in me to strive to give a 100% in all I do.  I am lucky to have this internal drive!  However, sometimes I struggle at giving a 100%, because I am not perfect!  So today, I challenge you to give 100% in some area of your life, whether it is at work, with your family, with your prayer life, or even a craft project!  Do the best at what you do!  You will feel great inside!

The challenges that I am entering are:
Pretty Little Ribbon Shop - #19 Anything Goes
Scrappy Frogs Challenge - Use Pink or Red
