Joy To The World

 Hello Crafty Friends!

I know it is spring but I enjoy making my Christmas cards all year long.  We are having some thunderstorms today so it was the perfect time to stay in my craft room and create some projects.

This adorable penguin is from Conie Fong Art and is called Joy To The World

Deer-est Friends

Hello Crafty Friends!

Do you make your Christmas cards all year?  Christmas cards are my favorite cards to make and I always start in January.  I like all my cards to be different so it's a great way to get enough of a variety done in time to mail out after Thanksgiving.  If you want to get started on your cards, joining in with the challenges at Christmas with the Cuties is a great way to get your cards done, have fun and maybe win a prize.

The new challenge theme at Christmas With The Cuties is Festive Furries and Feathers.

For my DT project I used the clear stamp  Winnie Heavenly Deer-est Friends from Polkadoodles.

Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

The holidays are fast approaching.  Are you ready?  I'm not.  At times I feel it is ok with sending fewer Christmas cards this year but then I think about the how many friends and family I will not see this year due to the pandemic.  I think I will want to send even more cards.

This is my DT project for Crafty Hazel Nut's Pattern Paper challenge.  The theme is always Anything goes with Pattern Paper.  I used this adorable Edwin with tree stamp from Magnolia stamps for my card.  I kept the card free of bulky embellishments so it will be easier to mail. 

I hope you join us in the challenge and I can't wait to see what you create.

Happy Bird Day

Hello Crafty Friends!

Tulip Darling Bud

Hello Crafty Friends!

Are you ready for spring flowers?  It seems like we have had ice and snow for weeks and weeks so I am definitely ready for some warm weather.

The new challenge starts today at Digi Choosday.  

The theme is always Anything Goes but the DT is given a bit of a challenge. 

 This time we were challenged to use:

1. Any Image

2. Spring Flowers

3. Primary color all white

I have to admit that all white for spring flowers gave me a a bit of a challenge.  I finally decided to use Tulip Darling Bud and color her as a white tulip.  This then gave me the opportunity to use pattern paper from Helga Hippo Paper Heaven 1 a little pop of spring flowers.

I can't wait to see what you create and link up to the Digi Choosday Challenge

Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Bunting from Polkadoodles

Hello Crafty Friends!

Next to Christmas cards, I love to make and send Valentines. It's always fun to send a little love to others.  I send them to lots of people, not just my husband.  

 This is my DT card for the Digi Choosday Challenge.  The theme is always anything goes but the DT is given a bit of a challenge.  This time we were challenged to:

1.Make a Valentine

Aim High Polkadoodles

Hello Crafty Friends!

I hope you have found time to craft in the new year.  I haven't had as much time to craft as I would like.  

The new challenge at Digi Choosday is always Anything Goes but the DT is given a bit of a challenge.  This time we were asked to do:

1. Make a Valentine

2. Use any Polkadoodles image

3. Make it romantic

As for the last part, I think this is about as romantic as my husband would want.  I think this little guy with his bow and arrows is just adorable.  The papers are fun but not the typical pinks, reds and purples you see for valentines.

For my project I used the following items: Aim High Dinosaur, Sticks and Stones Textured Dinosaur Papers 2, and the sentiment is from Love and Kisses Bundle
