A Spot Of Gardening

I was blogging the other day and stumbled upon Willow Designs.  For anyone interested they are having a DT Call for Willow Sketchie Challenge Blog showcasing Willow Designs.  The deadline is July 7th.  There is something special about Sharon's images.  I instantly wanted the Double Sprinkles Of Kraft.  Unfortunately we are having a postal strike in Canada and it's taking longer than usual to receive it.  Patience is hard but I have a few other images to play with until it arrives.

For my card I used the image "A Spot Of Gardening".  I think my love of owls has returned!!!  I used Promarkers for coloring.  I still think Promarkers are the best medium out there.  I instantly knew the new papers from Pink Paislee - Hometown Summer would be perfect with this image.  It's been a while since I used Chandelier Garlands from Magnolia.  The flowers are from I Am Roses.  My mushrooms were cut using the software Make The Cut for my Cricut Expression.  Is it bad if I say I haven't bought a cartridge since I started making my own designs???  Shhhhhhh.  The gems are from Stampin' Up and colored with Promarkers.  TLF!

Pollycraft DT Call

I had the pleasure of being a GDT for Pollycraft in February.  They are now having a DT Call to add a couple of gals.  They are also giving 2 freebies to enter for the call.  They are must haves so be sure to get them.  The call is open until June 27.  I am also entering this for their Monday Challenges which is ribbons and flowers.

I used "Sonny's Party" image.  She is colored with Promarkers.  The papers are from Echo Park - Little Girl collection.  I made a shaped card.  It's only my 2nd one and I am loving this style.  I created the cut-outs and used Make The Cut to cut using my Cricut Expression.  I think I will start giving some of my designs as freebies so be sure to check back regularly.  The flowers and leaves are from I Am Roses.  The gems are colored with Promarkers and are from Stampin' Up.  For the balloon I printed an extra image and popped the balloon for dimension.  TFL and good luck to those who try out!!!

Teddy Bo DT Call

Look who is having a DT Call!  Teddy Bo images are super sweet.  If you love bears then look no more.  There is a wonderful collection of bears both masculine and feminine.  I almost missed this call and I am entering with little time to spare.  Fiou! LOL.  The challenge is to use a shaped card instead of a square or rectangle.  It was a little tricky because my usual style is square shaped.

I used the adorable "Top of The Toadstool" image.  She is colored with promarkers.  The papers are from Jillibean Soup - Blossom Soup.  Jillibean is one of my favorite 6x6 pads lately.  The ticket is made with Whimsy Shapeology Ticket Die.  The flowers are from I Am Roses.  My card was cut using the software Make The Cut for the Cricut Expression.  I designed the outline shape as well as the oval circle and oval scalloped circle.  It really comes in handy having a graphic designer background! :D  TFL! And good luck to all the entries!!!

Be My Teddy Bear

Hi everyone!  It's been a long time since I crafted for a challenge other than giving the challenge.  I just love Pollycraft stamps and I just totally love the new release Claudia and Spencer.  I would just love to win this set.  This week's challenge is Be My Teddy Bear.  The challenge is to use a bear stamp.  You are allowed to use any Bear stamp but if you use one of Pollycraft's stamp you can be chosen as a favorite.

For my card I used the "Cuthbert Party" image from Pollycraft.  Of course he is colored with Promarkers.  The inking is with distress inks.  The papers are from Fancy Pants - Beach Bum 6x6 pad.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.  TFL!
