Simple & sweet

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all safe and healthy.

I made a simple and sweet card for any occasion using the Bugaboo photo inspiration @ Bugaboo Challenge Blog. I used the Bugaboo Dollar flower bug, and coloured it with
Copics and Tria markers.  I stamped the butterfly in the left corner from an old clear stamp set.  The paper is from "Colored Pencil" by Recollections from Michaels.

I would also like to submit this to:
Stamping Sensations Say It with Flowers challenge
Moving along with the times challenge #118 - flowers
Love to Craft challenge - Anything goes

Cherry Blossoms

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to post an update with a recent card I made.  The cherry blossoms outside made me think of this stamp from Stampendous.  It's a pretty simple design, but I love this stamp, and it seemed to go so nicely with the free paper from Cardmaking and Papercraft Kate Knight 2010 design I had in my stash. I used Copic markers to color it. I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Use Dies or punches. I used a nestabilities die.
Through the Purple Haze Challenge # 167 - Anything goes
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything goes.

I hope that everyone is safe and healthy at this time.

Owl birthday

Hi everyone,

How time flies by, again. It seems like I never post Christmas cards because I am always so busy during that time of year, so I have skipped that again and moved onto new birthday cards.  I turned to my favorite Catch the bug challenge blog "Stella says sketch challenge #805" to use a sketch that would work for the owl. When I looked at my last post, I realized that I used some of the same papers. They are great colors, and although they are suppose to be a Christmas paper, I find it works for much more than Christmas. The owl is a die set from a card making magazine that I got. The embossing folder is from Lifestyle crafts, and I believe the branch is from Sizzix. It comes with cherry blossoms, but I haven't ever used the flowers.

Bugaboo Be Naughty

Hi everyone, 

Another bugaboo image and another great sketch challenge to play in.  I had started coloring this image a few weeks ago with no plan in mind, but I knew I would use it soon. This sketch challenge just seemed to work perfectly. I am going to join a few other challenges since their are lots of us making Christmas cards right now.

Relax and enjoy

Hi everyone,

When I saw this freebie a few weeks ago from Bugaboo stamps, I just had to play with it. It will make a great retirement, birthday, or Father's day card. I am sure I will be using this image again, and again. I used the sketch challenge again this week, but I did want to keep it simple as it will be for a guy.  I colored the image with copics and other alcohol markers. The "enjoy" is from Jillibean soup. Thanks for stopping for by.

Hi everyone,

While I was working on the Sketch challenge for Catch the bug, I thought I would work on my first Christmas card of the year. This reindeer looks alot like me when thinking about Christmas gifts. Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Halloween 2019

Hello everyone,

I think this is the first Halloween card that I have ever made, but I couldn't resist this Bugaboo image. I saw the "Catch the bug" sketch challenge #715, and wanted to participate. I like the sketch challenge because that's sometimes the hardest part for me to figure out. I also like that it is a simple sketch, and what a great way to use my DCWV rock star paper! I wish you all a happy Halloween.
