Pets & Furry Friends at Cards und More #177

Hello everyone! I am excited to share my first post with Cards und More and this month, we are thrilled to have the oh-so-fun Dr. Digi's House of Stamps as our sponsor!

Our theme this month is "Pets and Furry Friends" so I just HAD to choose this sweet image called Katy the Cat Lady, as she reminds me so much of my wonderful cat-lovin' friend, Tamie :)

Katy the Cat Lady

I colored Katy with my Copic Markers and kept it fairly CAS as I really wanted the focus of this card to be this sweet image :) Here's a close up as I wanted you to see that I added some glossy accents to her glasses - too fun!

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

Artistic Impressions - Anything Goes

Crafting from The Heart - Anything Goes

Gardening Fun at As You Like It

The challenge at As You Like It for the next 2 weeks is "Your Favorite Layout" and WHY....you need to let us know why you like the one you use most....Here is a bit about our sponsor for this challenge:

The sponsor of this challenge is



Sweet and Sassy Stamps

 

I have a couple "go-to" layouts that I use but I really love this one where it's VERY clean and simple with the main image panel as the main focal point. I decided to use black card stock and no designer paper so that I would get the POP of black coming out from her glasses. I feel that the image is what your eyes go to first and it is a WOW factor statement that is achieved....

This funny gardening girl is from Doctor Digi House of Stamps and they are SO FUN to color up!! Be sure to hop on over to the As You Like It challenge blog and show us YOUR style. Check out all the amazing work by my super-talented teammies while you are there - they blew this one out of the water!! CHEERS!

4 Crafty Chicks #255 - clean and simple

Happy "4 Crafty Chicks" Thursday!

This week, our hostess extraordinaire is none other than miss Tamie and she's wanting to see the following:

4 CC #255 - CLEAN AND SIMPLE

For my card, I already had this image from Doctor Digi House of Stamps colored (when Tamie and I went to visit Leanne) so I cut her out with a stitched rectangle mat, popped her up on some woodgrain paper, added a die cut sun - walaaaaa! Done.

I hope you are able to take a small break from the hustle/bustle of summer days and come get inky with us - Clean and Simple is a quick, stress-free challenge so why not come play?! Click HERE to hop on over to the challenge blog and link up! Cheers!

Happy "4 Crafty Chicks" Thursday everyone! Before I get to our challenge, I would like to personally thank my teammies (Rhonda, that means you too!!) here in the HENHOUSE for covering my commenting, posting etc. while I was on my crafty hiatus! It meant a lot that I was able to just focus on work and not have to feel guilty for not getting to my DT assignments while I was stressing over tax returns...or falling asleep at 8 p.m. LOL....again, HUGE THANKS!!

This week, miss Tina is our hostess extraordinaire and she's looking for us to use CHEVRONS:

4 CC #246 {Chevrons}

I had a lot of fun with this card, but I'm sure I didn't have to tell you that - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these images from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps! Too fun :)

This one is called "Bathtime Deirdery" and it's a pre-colored digi. They have a few pre-colored ones which are nice when you are in need of an image quick! Hope you enjoy her as much as I do!

Guest Designer post for Love to Scrap #28!

Hello and welcome to my blog! This is my last post as Guest Designer for Love to Scrap! and I just want to take this opportunity to thank Leslie and and the gang for having me! It was such a blast working with everyone and seeing all the wonderful creativity! You have such a talented team there, Leslie! Thanks again!!

The challenge this week is to "Sraplift This!" So that means, we were to take 3 elements from this gorgeous layout that Cathy made and use them to create your project:

Our sponsors this week are Fred, She Said ($10 gift certificate) and Dr. Digi's House of Stamps (2 images of choice).

I had the extreme pleasure of working with this awesome image called Weekend Wanda from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps - she cracks me up!

The 3 elements I chose from Cathy's layout were the colors, the scallop borders, and some bling....thanks for the wonderful inspiration, Cathy!! I added a speech bubble stamp from TAWS and some pretty flowers to finish it off. I love this line of stamps from Dr. Digi's...be sure to check em out!
