Cocoa Cupcake 2014

Hi Everyone,

I made this card tonight for the mini challenge from Meljen's Facebook weekend challenge and incorporated the colors for the weekly challenge as well.  I love Meljen's designs cause they are fun to color.  I certainly hope I can join more challenges soon.

Have a nice day everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Around the world

Hi there,

Just as I am posting this card for the Meljen's challenge "Bookworm" I have found my card in the mouth of my new puppy :(.  I am so glad that I was able to take a few pictures before he got his hands on it.  My puppy actually ate my homework. haha.  This was a weekend freebie from Meljen's facebook page the other weekend, and I started coloring it right away, but didn't get it completed for the weekend challenge.  When I saw the challenge for this week, I thought of the hot air balloon and "Around the world in 80 days"  The background paper is from lime twist "out of the blue".  I am also going to add this to the "anything goes" challenge at Party Time Tuesdays.  Have a great night and thanks again Melissa for the wonderful images.

Happy 4th Birthday

Hi there,

I managed to squeeze in another card this month.  I had hoped to join more challenges and do more cards this year, but I have fallen way behind.  I was happy to see the challenge at Meljen's for a birthday card, because it reminded me of this great image for my friends' son's birthday.  I had the paper from DCWV already, so I colored it to match.  I also used pop dots to raise the image.

My card is being submitted to these challenges:

O Christmas tree

Hi Everyone,

I have a few Christmas cards on the go right now, but when I saw the challenge at Meljen's I thought I would stop the card I was working on and participate.  It has been a long time since I have joined in on a challenge.  I chose a fairly easy image to color up, and although you can't see it, the garland is colored with a silver glitter pen to give it a bit of glitz.  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I am a winner on Meljen's challenge blog.  Thanks so much.  I can't wait to have a chance to play again with my new images.

Back to crafting

Hi everyone,

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted.  We moved last year, and since then, I have been slowly working on my room, but just have not made it a priority.  It felt great to be crafting again though.  I certainly have missed it.  I took a couple of classes in the meantime, that were great. 


I made this gift for one of my co-workers who had twin girls.  I used a meljen's digital image.  I was so happy to find this because I thought it was just perfect. I colored the image with copic markers.  The soother attached was given to me by a friend who had gone to a baby shower, so I am going to enter this into the recycling challenge at Meljen's. http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.ca/2013/04/challenge-156-recycle.html


 I also made this 3 tiered diaper cake for her. Inside are different baby products. 

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope I have more to show you soon.  Have a great day!

Spring is here

Hi everyone,

Here is a card that I made for my niece's birthday.  I found these great grass stickers at the dollar store, and was excited to try them.  The butterflies have a small amount of glitter, which is hard to see in this photo.  The image is a Meljen's digi, and the ribbon and butterfly sticker are from my stash.  I thought it was a great way to start the spring season.  I am submitting this into the following challenges:

My niece's birthday

Hi everyone,
I am so excited to showcase my new Meljen's design finally.  I made this for my niece's birthday.  I used a combination of Tria markers and Copics.  The striped paper is from K & Company and the treats paper is from DCWV, sweet stack.  The little cupcake stamp in the bottom corner is a freebie from cardmaker and papercrafts magazine.  I used the sketch from iheart2stamp sketch challenge. I am also submitting this into the following challenges:
Craft your days away - birthday
Paper take weekly - anything goes
365 Cards - 2 sweets
I hope everyone has a great week, and thanks for stopping by.

Getting ambitious with two challenges...

Hi everyone,

I have a ton of birthdays coming up, but honestly, I have lost a bit of my mojo, so I looked for some challenges to give me a little inspiration. I found the sketch n stash challenge blog and thought I would give it a try. This card uses a Dustin Pike image and the saying is from Meljen's designs. The dp is an oldie from Paper pizazz. The punches are both from Ek Success. I am also submitting this into challenge #55 with Meljens challenge blog. This will be my first time submitting to these two challenge blogs, so wish me luck.

Happy Easter to everyone, and thanks for stopping by.
