HOGS & KISSES SENDING LOVE & HUGS

 Hi everyone! Welcome back for the first challenge of 2021 over at

We have two great sponsors for this challenge:

Prize: 4 digi images of the winner's choice

Prize: 3 digi images of the winner's choice

For my card I got to use bobble head greetings "hugs" and kisses from Bugaboo stamps. It took me a few tries to get this cutie colored the way I wanted. I started out trying it in pink and just didn't like it. That's when I decided on grey's.

I had so much fun creating this scene! I wanted the sky slightly pink to give it an evening glow look. I pulled out some fun dies from Honey Bee Stamps to create the burlap background, fence, and grass. 

Once I had all these dies cut and laid out the card just seemed to create itself. Lately I've been watching a lot of youtube videos and scene building seems to be the new fun thing to do. 

I have to say, after making this card, I'm hooked!!

HI! SWEET GIRL

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another great challenge over at

Theme is: ANYTHING GOES!

Our sponsors for this challenge are:

Prize: 3 digi images of winners choice

Here is my finished project using SLINKY GIRL from My Besties.  She was fun to color. I used some die cut flowers I made for another project that didn't get used and I love how they frame the image. 

She has such a cute expression and those bright pink lips make here so much fun. 

A little closer look at the placement of the leaves and the canvas stamped background.

Sometimes when I craft I made a few extra items to keep on my desk for future projects. These flowers have been on my desk for about two months now and I had no idea where this card was headed so it seemed a perfect fit.

For my project I used Sunflower Bouquet digital stamp from Twinkle Lane Designs.  I was so excited to be able to use this image. It spoke to me right away and I couldn't wait to get coloring!!

For my background panel I used embossing paste and added in watercolor in the color of autumn blaze from Altenew.  This is the darkest color I used on the largest flower. I then put down my stencil and added the paste to my panel.  

I then sprinkled some platinum embossing powder into the paste and heat set it.  This gave some added dimension the the paste and embossed the powder. For a final touch I added some black ink splatters.  

I hope you can see the amazing detail heat setting the embossing paste gives the background.

Penny's Challenge #373

We have another great sponsor for today's challenge.  Head over and check out their online store.

They also have a great challenge blog HERE!

For my project today I used Jasper's Cupcake digital stamp.  I used pink and blue ink and lightly added color by sponging it on.  Once I had done that I sprayed the ink that was remaining on my media mat and then smooched my panel to help blend the colors more and give a bit more texture. 

I had a lot of fun making this card and love the bright vibrant colors. That pup is to darn cute!!

Hello Ambrose

Today we're on Penny's Challenge #472

We have some great sponsors for this challenge!

I created my project using Ambrose King of  the Waves digital image from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.  I had a lot of fun coloring in this guy. I love the look on his face! He's so happy to be out in the sun with his ice cream.

Here are a couple of close up's.

I added some light grey coloring to his hair and beard and used a alcohol blender pen to blend into the white.
