~~~ The Cutie Pie Challenge ~ One for the Boys

Hi everyone,

It's time for a new challenge at 

The Cutie Pie Challenge #132

 where our lovely Sarah is hosting.

The theme will be "Card for a Boy, or for that Special Boy.

I've coloured with Copics a digital image from Whimsy Stamps

called "Gecko Love".  Another Crissy Armstrong design.

I think my hubby will have a smile on his face when 

he sees this one.  It will remind him of our recent trip to Aruba

where gecko's and iguana joined us daily at the pool garden.

Another cas design.  Again I've created the sentiment in word.

I really am rubbish at stamping. 

I use a scrap piece of paper to test my measurements as to where it should print,

that way I do not ruin a good piece of cardstock.  Frame cut using a MFT die

then adhered with pop dots for dimension.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Crazy 4 Challenges #470
Brown Sugar Challenge #287  Februay
MAWTT 90 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I do hope you can stop by the blog and see the wonderful

inspiration from my talented team mates, and play along with us

if you can.  

hugs,

Kisses

Hi everyone,

I hope you've had a good week so far. Sorry I haven't been around to visit you all but I've been preoccupied with the Olympics this week and have sadly neglected my blog. 

My plan is to visit you all later today. 

Now on to business...it's Wednesday and that means a new Challenge at

Fab'n'Funky

Our lovely Dawn has chosen this week's theme

 Love/Valentine

Here is my response to the challenge with a clean but not-so-simple design.

I spent more time doing this card than if there were several layers but am finally happy with the results.  It was a little tricky adding the digital sentiment placed just right after it was coloured...a little planning beforehand wouldn't have gone amiss.

We have the fabulous Paper Shelter sponsoring us this week.

There is a great prize for the winner so I do hope you can play along.

I've use the very cute digi called Kisses that can be found here.

Card Details:

6x6"square

Coloured with Copics

Sentiment from TLC

Loving Critter for My Valentine

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.  We're still in an arctic freeze but the sun is shining as I'm scheduling this post so no complaints today.  My granddaughters were hoping for a snow day Wed. as we ended up with 30 cm of snow but only the buses were canceled so it was classes as usual....three sad faces in the morning I was told. Everyone needs a day off to play!

A new challenge starts today at 

Totally Papercrafts 

and the theme chosen by Lisa is "Hey Cutie" .

Our sponsor this week is Doodle Pantry  and I've used one of the digi's from the Loving Critters collection for this Valentine card.   I thought I would give this to my dh so no bows or frills.
