Happy Valentine's Day

Hey!

Welcome to a new week. Hope yours start great. Sadly this week is the last challenge at Love to Create Challenges. The blog is closing down. Hopefully it'll start again in the near future. Time will tell!

This weeks sponsor is Oddball Art. I love those images.
I got to play with Big Eye Girl Kendall Collector of Hearts No. 131 and made an easel card. The image is colored using Promarkers. I love the color combo red. pink and white for valentine. I used a piece of vinyl lace, some heart die cuts, red gems and a piece of bling band to support the card. The sentiment is one I had in my stash and don't know who it's from.

Hope you'll join our last challenge "Lace or Ribbon, Pearls or Gems, Favorite Valentines Colors" to get the chance to win 3 digi's from Oddball Art of your choice.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hugs,
Kitty

I'm Sorry I Forgot

Hey!

Here's my card for this weeks color inspired challenge at Love to Create with sponsor Sami Stamps.

I got to play with this cute stamp called Lovely Native Fairy. Isn't she gorgeous? I colored her with Promarkers. I used a kraft cardbase and adhered a piece of white linen cardstock on top where I added a red rub-on border and adhered the image with my atg and popped up the wings that I colored lightly and added frosted lace stickles on top. Also colored a little shadow underneath the image. On the red part of the feathers I added red glitter glue. This had to be a CAS card as the image is beautiful and speaks for itself.

Hope you'll join our fun challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Hugs,

Snowman with Squirrel

Hey!

Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I am under the weather. Had to stay of my feet for a week and still not well. So had to do something and got coloring so here's my card for our new challenge at Love to Create sponsored by Rick St. Dennis and themed Anything Goes.

I got to play with Snowman with Squirrel and made a CAS card. I colored the image with Promarkers. Fussy cut the image and adhered it flat on a linen card base. I have added some frosted glitter glue to the snowman, added felt snowflakes and adhered pearls to them, made a faux stitching line with grey fine-liner and the Winter Wishes is made with a Dymo label writer.

More Than One Fold

 

Hey!

New week and a new challenge at Love to Create. This weeks theme is More than one fold and our sponsor is Lee H. Illustrations.

I got to play with this cute image called Fairy digi stamp. I colored her with Promarkers and created a card with 3 folds. Don't know how this card is called. If and when I find it I will place the name here.
The card is created in my fave color combo. The Dutch (congratulations) sentiment keeps the card shut. When the card opens the wishes will be underneath the flap with the image, but I kept it empty. I added some white ribbon, gold stars, used star embossing folders, flatback pearls, glitter gelpen, white ink and a metal corner.

Hope you will create something to join our fun challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Plaid

 

Hey!

Looks like Autumn is comming early this year. Getting colder and it's raining almost every day. Well, that means more time for crafting ;-) So here's my card for challenge #130 at Love to Create - Mad about Plaid.

I used Dr. Digi's House of Stamps Crouching Hidden Tiger Dunderton and colored him with Promarkers. I used black/white/grey plaid so the green would stand out better. Like this guy as my son does karate.
The embossed sentiment is Dutch for Happy Birthday. In the corners I adhered metal corners.

Hope you'll join our Plaid challenge. You can win 2 dr. digi's images of your choice.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Inspired by a Song, Book or Movie

Hey!

Happy Monday to you all! This week we have a fun challenge at Love to Create. Theme is "Inspired by a Song, Book or Movie" and our sponsor is The Stamping Chef.

I got to work with "Rose la Rouge". Think it isn't hard to guess what inspired me. I was inspired by the movie "Moulin Rouge" and the song "Lady Marmalade". I colored Rose with promarkers and adhered some red fluffy feathers behind her and a mini rose on her hair and I gave her a red gem earring. The background was found on the internet. Of course I added some glitter glue (red) and made a little flower arrangement where I made myself some red rose buds. The sentiment is a digi I got on my hdd for ages.

Hope you'll join the fun and create something for challenge #128 at Love to Create.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Summer Lovin'

Hey!

It's is Monday and our last challenge of July at Love to Create. This weeks sponsor is QKR Stampede.

I made a card using this funny turtle called Diving In. He's so cute. I colored him with Promarkers and adhered him to a background that I recycled from an envelope. Thought it was just the right background for the image. Along the edge is a line of glitter glue (I took the photo before it was dry).

Hope you'll join our fun Summer Lovin' challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
