American Eagle

Hey everyone. I hope you all are having a fabulous Wednesday.

I have a patriotic card to share with you today using the "American Eagle" image that was recently released by Meljen's Designs. I wanted to  keep the card as simple as I could so all I did was layer red, white and blue cardstock, add a few brads and the star ribbon. It came out better than my original plan.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Challenges:
Stamp Something - July 4th
Catch the Bug - Red, White & Blue and ribbon
My Sheri Crafts - Independance Day or Canada Day
Stamptacular Sunday  - Stars & Stripes
Tuesday Throwdown - Red, White & Blue
Craft Us Crazy - Red, White, and Blue OR Summer Theme

Patriotic Angel

Hey ladies it's Friday again and do you know what that means? It meant that there is another challenge over at the Card Makin Mamas Challenge Blog.

This week's challenge is being sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Products and the challenge is a color one: RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. The winner will get 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 digital paper set of their choice.

For my card this week I used Christie Angel. Isn't she cute? I was trying to find some papers that I liked and found three  that worked well together, although the swirly background one is actually a Christmas paper. I added some red & white and blue & white bakers twine for texture. Also I found these epoxy buttons in my stash and thought they would be the perfect embellies to top the card off.

Now what are you waiting for, head on over to Card Makin Mamas now so you can check out the challenge.

Hearty Hippo

Happy Friday to you all.

I thought I'd drop in real quick to share a card I made recently for my son to give to a friend for her birthday. Sorry the pic is blurry. I am still figuring out my new camera.

For my card today I used a Meljen's Designs image called Hearty Hippo, which can be purchased along with the rest of Meljen's fabulous images, at the the Whimsy Stamps shop. I had been hoarding my Echo Park papers that  I bought that the CKC, but I decided it was finally time to get crafty with them. I absolutely ADORE Echo Park and I really wish someone nearby would sell it.

Well hope you like and I will be back next week with more lovelyness to share with you.

Pretty in Pink

Good day to you all, its Thursday again and that means it's means NEW RELEASE DAY over at Meljen's Designs. Check out these fabulous images (which can be purchased along with the rest of Meljen's fabulous images, at the the Whimsy Stamps shop).

As always, with the new release comes a new CHALLENGE. Yay. This week's challenge is
PINK & PEARLS.
For my card  today I chose to use "Little Ballerina" from the new release. She was  so pretty I couldn't help myself. Sorry the pic is not of the best quality, I am still trying to figure out my new camera. I used some scrap pink design  paper from DCWV Sweet Stack. I love the glittery swirls through it and I knew this would work well together. I added this awesome sheer ribbon with swirled cording on it that I got on clearance at Walmart. For the pearls, I took a strand of pearl cording I had and cut individual pearls off to glue on various places. I used one in the flower, one for the necklace, 3 for the belt on the tutu, and then I placed several on the corded ribbon.
