TPE 290 - Pinch Me!

Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you had a great weekend and ready for a fun week ahead.
This week we have a fun new challenge over at The Pink Elephant:

Pinch Me! Use the color GREEN!

Here is my card using an old freebie from Tiddly Inks:

Isn't she the cutest image?
I colored her up with copics and added stickles for some happy bling.
I used scraps from my stash and a rub on sentiment from American Crafts.

Be sure to hop by The Pink Elephant  blog to see all the other inspiration!
Ella's girls sure know how to rock challenges. ;)

A Tiddly Ink cutie!

Happy wonderful Wednesday everyone!
 Normally this is my day off from posting but I couldn't resist this cutie.
Tiddly Inks offered this freebie for a limited time, isn't she adorable?
{Wryn Blooms is now available for purchase in the store.}

I decided to try a fun idea that I saw on a friend's Facebook page:

Instead of coloring the entire image, she just colored part of it and left the rest uncolored.

Super fun, but a bit tricky to do!
I suppose I am conditioned to color the entire image so I had to pencil in where to stop. ;)

I made my own 'frame' for this card after seeing them for sale in stores.

Very easy with nesties - just layer two together (in this case a square into a label) then run them through.

Voila! A frame - and a great way to use up scraps.
I am playing along in the following challenges:

Tiddly Inks: Use a Wryn
Tuesday Morning Sketches: Challenge #199

Card Mania Challenge: Spots and/or Stripes
Crafty Bloggers Network: tic tac toe (die cut/flowers/ribbon)

Cutie Pie Challenge: Photo inspiration

Thanks so much for stopping in to see me!

Hug those you love and keep praying for Oklahoma.

Happy Party with your Bear Day!

 

Hello friends!
I was looking for a fun theme for Raise The Bar's challenge site

when I stumbled across fun holidays in November.

How cute is it that today is Party with your Bear Day?

So of course I had to make it a Teddy Bear theme to honor the day after my bday! ;)

While shopping for the adorable Wryn image on the Tiddly Inks site,

I came across this cutie with her 3 fuzzy friends.

Thank you Beary Much was perfect for my card - 

it reminds me of my kiddos and all their favorite fuzzy stuffed friends. 

I colored her in to match a patterned paper I planned on using,

but with this image, I decided to keep the background simple instead.

The stuffed chair has a cute swirly design so I went over it with a copic blender pen,

then cut out the entire image. Easy peasy and perfect for a thank you card from my family. 

Come on over and join in on the fun!
You can see all of last week's winners as well as link up your card here 

on Raise The Bar's blog site.

You can also join in on this fun one that I found too:

Thank you so much for coming by today!
I am headed out to see you-know-what Part 2 with hubby. 

It's been our tradition since Twilight premiered. ;)

 Have a beautiful day!

TPE Challenge #112

Happy beautiful Monday everyone!
I hope your weekend went well
and that you're ready to join in on some new challenges?

This week at The Pink Elephant, we challenge you to:

STITCH!

Faux or real, let's see some sewing on your card!

This week we are sponsored by the awesome Tiddly Inks.

Here is my card using Poppy:

Romantic/Gothic? heehee!
I thought she'd work well with a black and white scheme, accented with poppy reds.

{This has been my current palette as I re-do my craft room.}
I played with the tension on my Genome and settled for this stitching,

now that I look at it, it kind of reminds me of Coraline. ;)

Come on over and see the adorable samples made by Ella's girls. 

You can see them here on the TPE blog, this is also where you'll link up your work.

Have a wonderful day everyone, make something great happen today!
