Outdoor Fun

This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge theme is Outdoor Fun.  As it starts to get warmer, let's see your outdoor projects.

I used Autumn's Kite from Sweet N Sassy Stamps for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The sky paper is from Bo Bunny's Sun Kissed collection which is available digitally on Snap Click Supply.  It is one of my favorite sky papers! 

You have a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to be used on digis in the store.  Click the badge below to check out everything that is available.

Time for a Blog Hop!

Hello!  Welcome to your next stop on the Crafty Gals Corner blog hop.  We are hopping this challenge to introduce you to all of our new team mates!  Our theme is Snow Much Fun, so we want to see your snow themed projects.  You should have hopped here from Lena's blog.  I am sure she had something fabulous to show you!

I used Little Penguin Winter Bench from Bugaboo for my project.  It was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The background paper is from Fancy Pants Designs' Blissful Blizzard collection.  This was from a paper pad, but you can find it digitally on Snap Click Supply.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I added a touch of clear Wink of Stella to the ornaments and the snow.  The star was colored using a Spica glitter pen.

The next stop on your hop is Tracy's blog.  I have seen her project and can say you are in for a treat! 

If you did not start at the beginning or get lost, you can always hop back to the Crafty Gals Corner and pick up where you left off.  Otherwise, the list of participants is below:

Our next challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner is Red, White, & Blue.  I can't wait to see how you incorporate these colors into your challenge.

I started with this great Birthday Balloon paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles.  Granted, it has yellow and pink as well as red and blue, but I thought it was perfect!  I used a sweet image from C.C. Designs that I printed so many moons ago.  I just thought she would look so adorable sporting these colors.  Unfortunately, I got her as a freebie from the Facebook group, but didn't save her with a name.  If you know her name, please let me know!  This cutie was colored with Copic markers and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo.

Celebrate

This week at Crafty Sentiments the theme is to use gems or pearls.  We don't have a new release for you this week.  The new release will happen in two weeks.

This is Ice Cream Day. She was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  She was so much fun to color!  I was so happy when I found this paper in my scrap basket.  I knew it was there, but wasn't sure if I would be able to find it! 

If you play along you could win Crafty Sentiments prizes.  You don't have to use Crafty Sentiments, but if you do you can win more.

A Mouse for Tea

This week at the Creative Knockouts challenge you need to use lots of layers on your project.

I used Tea Mouse from our sponsor, Sasayaki Glitter.  What a  cute little guy to have over for tea.  I am not much of a tea drinker, so I would be sipping some coffee out of that tea cup while gobbling down those cupcakes.

You have a chance to win one image from Sasayaki Glitter for playing along.  Which one will you choose?!  Click the badge below to check them out and pick your favorites.

Isobel

It is time for a new challenge and a new release at Crafty Sentiments.  The theme is anything goes so it will be really easy to play along.

This is Isobel Bunch of Flowers and she is the newest member of the Crafty Sentiments family. Isn't she sweet?! She was colored with Copic markers.  I can see myself using her for so many types of cars.  I made a thank you card, but she would be awesome for a birthday card, get well, thinking of you, friendship...so many things!  She will be available in the shop very soon!

You don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments image or stamp to play along in the challenge, but if you do and you are picked as the random winner, you win extra prizes!  So use them if you've got them!

So Sleepy!

It is time for the new challenge and a new release at the Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge Blog.  Wait until you see the little cutie I have to show you today!

This is one of the new release stamps this week, Charles - Having a Little Snooze.  Isn't he just the sweetest?!  He was colored with Copic markers and cut out by hand.  It wasn't intentional, but he looks like he is sleeping on a cloud. =)

You can pop over to the shop Saturday to see all of the new releases.  Until then, play along in the challenge with us.  The theme is anything goes, so it is an easy one.  You can also check in on the inspiration blog each day to see the gorgeous projects made with all of the new releases for this month.

If you play along with a Crafty Sentiments rubber or digital stamp you could win 3 images if you are chosen!  If the winner has used any other image, then that person will win one image.  You can also win if you were chosen as the Crafty Sentiments Favorite.

I hope you will play along!

Cupcakes

Hello MoonFlower friends!  My turn on the MoonFlower blog and I used Gina Cupcake to provide a bit of inspiration.  I don't know about you, but I never seem to have enough birthday cards.  This little lady makes a great birthday card.

Gina Cupcake was colored with Copic markers and cut out with the Silhouette.  I used some gorgeous cupcake papers from My Mind's Eye and colored Gina Cupcake to match.  The "epoxy dots" I used in the embellishments are actually push pins!  I simply cut the pins off with wire cutters and used them like I would any other epoxy embellishment.  It is so fun to find a way to use things that aren't really intended for crafting on a card.

You can find Gina Cupcake in the Etsy shop along with all of her gorgeous sisters.  Pop on over and take a look.  Andreia is having a special through the end of the month for 20% off your purchase using the coupon code PORTUGAL to celebrate Portugal's win in the European Football Final.  Take advantage while you can and stock up on all of the MoonFlower goodness.

After you color up your new collection, pop in and show us in the Facebook group.  We would love to see them and ooh and ahh over them.  That is also where Andreia posts sneak peeks and other MoonFlower news like the coupon code.  Come visit us!  We would love to see you!
