Delovely Retro Tulips

Here's a quick card I created last night. When I saw this week's Squigglefly challenge, I knew I had to enter, I just love tulips and these Retro Tulips are no exception.

I decided to cut into my Delovely stack and enter this week's Color Me Delovely challenge at A Crafty Little Place and also enter the Let's Go Digital challenge at Crafty Catz.

I used SC283 for my layout.

That's all for now...need to get ready for work and then tomorrow starts my 4 day weekend, woohoo!

Squigglefly Challenge #52

It's Challenge #52 over at Squigglefly today!

Maria issued a picnic theme challenge - use a food or drink image on your creation!

I dug into my stash and pulled out this fun cupcake and sentiment from the Jane's Bakery set, this is such a fun set! No sketch, amazing huh? I still had the Crate Paper Bliss collection on my desk, thought that would be fun paper for my party card.

The images were popped up with mini pop dots and the cupcake was accented with cotton candy and fuschia stickles.

If you'd like to play along, please link your creation (using a Squigglefly image!) to the Squigglefly blog and for more inspiration, please visit my fellow team members' blogs - links are to the left!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday!

Here is a quick card I made tonight for a friend's birthday. She loves sunflowers so I always make her a sunflower card :)

This pretty sunflower image is from Squigglefly, illustrated by the fabulous Lynn Stansbery. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just {heart} her flower images!

Paper is Basic Grey Origins and the Happy Birthday is from the Sweet N Sassy Birthday Greetings set, one of my favorite go-to sets for birthdays! The sparkle is from copic spica pens in lemon and garnet, really love how much they shimmer!

Squigglefly Challenge #48 with a sneak peek!

You're in for a treat today!

It's Squigglefly Challenge #48 and with it I've used a new image that will be released on Saturday. It's called Hang On by Jackie Mathews.

Now back to the challenge...Maria issued an embossing challenge, wet or dry. Since I am not a big fan of my heat gun, I chose to use dry embossing. I absolutely adore the scene I created here. I thought the 'water' was a great idea and it turned out just as good as I had hoped!

Willow and some Squigglefly news!

So if you stopped by last night for that Squigglefly sneak peek, sorry I didn't have anything up for you! I wasn't feeling good so I spent the night on the couch playing with digi stamps to print and playing FB games.

Guess what! The new stamps are up already and wow, are they cute! Squigglefly has a new artist and her name is Jackie Mathews! I will have a sample up tonight with one of the new cuties :)

This is a quick card I made a few nights ago...no sketch or challenges, I'm sure you all are shocked LOL!!

(if you click to picture to make it bigger, you can see the sparkle)

This neat tree is called Willow and is illustrated by Rich Davis. I'm sure it's not meant to be an orange tree, but I couldn't resist having sparkly oranges LOL!

It's Release Day at Squigglefly!

My sneak peek has turned into release day LOL!

This pretty image is Vintage Flower Maiden and was drawn by Rich Davis for Squigglefly. I'll admit it is very out of my comfort zone, so I hope I did her justice.

The layout is ESS77 from Eat Sleep & Stamp. I also got to use my new EK Success leaf punch, a few friends have them and I loved the look with flowers, so I had to get one too!

Squigglefly Challenge #40

Good morning!

It's time for another Squigglefly challenge. The challenge is to use "shiny things" with our Squigglefly images.

I love how my card turned out! So pretty and springy! This gorgeous flower was drawn by Lynne Stansbery, and it's from a set of 4 flowers. For my shiny things, I used glossy accents on the middles of the flowers, a gemstone and some shiny ribbon I found in my stash. I was so happy to use this paper too, it's from deep in that stash of mine.

The sketch is from Eat, Sleep, Stamp ~


If you'd like to play along (and have a chance for a prize!), please link your shiny things creation using Squigglefly images to the Squigglefly blog.

Little Baker

Good morning!! I have to say this is the first Saturday in a long time that I've felt like crafting early in the morning. I think the winter blahs are finally leaving, yay!!

Today I have a new Squigglefly image to share with you. She is Little Baker by Cheryl Alger. I really wanted to use my DCWV Sweet Stack so I chose the cupcake paper first which is wear the color inspiration came from. I like to think that she is baking pistachio goodies, one of my favorite cakes that my mom used to make had pistachio pudding oozing out of the middle.


Here is the sketch I used ~ I rotated it to accommodate my image.
