{PIN}spirational Challenge #109

Welcome back to my blog! I must apologize for such a late post! Time seems to be getting away from me more and more these days - gardening/yard work season, our crop spraying business is getting ready to take off, football season for our son, and the end of the school year all take so much time! I need about another 24 hours in each day to get everything done! *wink*

The inspirational photo challenge over at {PIN}spirational Challenges this week is SOOOOO cute - take a peek:

 

The sponsors this week are:

 

~Meljen's Designs~

Prize-4 digis

 

~Oak Pond Creations~

Prize-3 digis

I chose to work with this cute image from Meljen's - and the bubble sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps called "Small Talk"

It is with a torn heart that I need to announce that this is also my last post for {PIN}spirational. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Deanne and all the wonderful gals over at {PIN}spirational Challenges for such an amazing time being on the DT with them. Deanne, you run such an amazingly organized and fun ship, anyone would be honored to design for you! I hope to see you wonderful ladies in the Fall - Summer is just a bit too crazy for us around here so I need to downsize just a smidge! See ya around in blog land! HUGS!!!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #105

Welcome to another challenge from {PIN}spirational Challenges where the inspiration comes from a photo and off we go!

This is our inspirational picture for the week (soooo pretty!!)

And our wonderful sponsors are:

 Scribbles Designs - prize 3 digi's

Fred, She Said - prize

I had the pleasure of using some pre-colored digi's from Fred, She Said to make my card this week and I went with the colors in the bouquet:

I fussy cut the flowers and leaves and used foam dots to pop up certain pieces for dimension. The circle was cut using my stitched circle dies and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. 

Thanks for stopping in today - be sure to pop back in bit for a new challenge from Merry Monday!! Cheers!

3-in-1 Easter Wishes

I had a very miraculous thing happen to me when I created this card...yep, you heard right - "miraculous!" I could combine 3 Design Team commitments into this one card: {PIN}spirational Challenges, Twisted Tuesday challenges and Seize the Sketch! I was so tickled - I have been short of crafty time the past couple weeks, so when I realized I could "make them all work together" I did a jig!

The photo inspiration this week from {PIN}spirational is this cutie holding her bunny:

The sponsors for this week's challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges are:

Elizabeth Bell (whom I had the privilege of using for my image)

 

Inky Impressions

 

Glamoureyes

The layout I made my card with is from Seize the Sketch:

I took the liberty of making my card a square 5.5 x 5.5 card to accommodate my image and butterflies....

The challenge at Twisted Tuesday Challenges for the next 2 weeks is "I Need Your Paperwork" so you have to use more than 3 patterned papers (I used 3 - third one is on the butterflies!) 

THE TWIST: You can't do your paperwork without a pen. Show us writing or doodling on your creation (I doodled the butterfly trails).

Thanks so much for sticking with this post til the end ;) I know it's a long one! Please check out each challenge blog and join in the fun this week! All the DT's have made such GORGEOUS creations for you to check out! Happy crafting! xoxoxo
