Bee my Honey

Here's my last sample for the Hugs from a Bug set from i {heart} papers. It's also for Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge CC58 (Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery and Pixie Pink). I would have never put these colors together on my own. What an interesting look they have don't you think? Still using my Large Deckled Rectangles Nestabilities which are still on sale. I just love them. I just ordered the Labels One set so you'll be seeing new shapes soon so just hang in there. Its the closest thing I could find resembling the Top Note Die. No Big Shot here. Lots of other fun projects in the making so stay tuned.

Lace and Pearls Challenge

Welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge. Our sponsor this week is Tracey Lynn Miller from Fred She Said and she is offering the winner a $10 gift certificate to spend in her store. Tracey was also generous enough to give the DT one of her new sets "A Lovely Blossom And Butterfly" to use this week and she also made a card to show off this beautiful set.

Now on to this weeks challenge. Let's see some LACE AND PEARLS on your cards/projects. You can make anything you wish as long as you use a digital image and some lace and pearls. To enter just leave a link to your entry with Mr Linky on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog, or if you don't have a blog you can upload to an online gallery using the keyword DTC22. I couldn't give up the chance to use these wonderful butterflies so I happily used Tracey's A Lovely Blossom and Butterfly set. I also used Regina's half circle card template. I thought the shape would be fun to use with all those butterflies.

Also the Digital Tuesday Challenge is in need of two new members. Here are the deets.

i {heart papers}

Here's a fun card I did using the Into the Forest stamp set from i {heart} papers. I used one of my favorite 6 X 6 patterned paper pads called Sunshine Lollipops Wee Bundle from Sassafras Lass. I've also been getting good use out of my Large Deckled Rectangle Nestabilities set. This card was made for Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge SC243. It feels good to finally make some challenge cards. Since I love ribbon so much I doubled up on it. The orange ribbon is called Orange Double Faced Faux Suede and the brown is Crochet Brown. Be sure to scroll down to see my next post. It was made for Squigglefly's shaped card challenge. As you know I love making shaped cards.

Meow

This week's Squigglefly members on Kim's team were challenged to make a shaped card. It seems like I've been making lots of shaped cards so even though I wasn't required I decided at the very last minute join in. Since I had to make it quick (before the sun went completely down) I used my Star Shaped Card Template from The Cutting Cafe. The images are from Squigglefly and are called Meow and Kuruku Loo. I believe both stamps are less than $1 each and since they are digital you can re-size them to your needs. Can you hear me saying Go digi go?

I'm nuts about you

Here's another project made with the In the Forest stamp set from i {heart} papers. This time I used the cute little squirrel image from the set. That gorgeous paper is Sassafras Lass . It came in a fun little card size pack here along with that double sided pink ribbon. I was determined to make something a little different than the usual standard fold card shape. The card actually opens on the top only and when it is opened it looks like the squirrel is standing under a house. Too cute.

It's all about the dress

Here's a new Wedding Dress template from Regina at The Cutting Cafe. Its actually a dress invite set and it includes printed detail information such as date, time, place, etc. that fits inside the dress shape. Lots of other circle sentiments too. You can make the dress simple or elegant and can definitely have fun with it. Making it is easy, the hard part comes when its time to photograph it *LOL* I still can't capture its beauty. I added a row of gemstones along the bottom, which you can barely see. If you have any photo tips you would like to share I'm all ears!
