Birthday wishes...

Hi there everyone! Today I'm sharing with you another cutie patootie from the Bug & Roo Digi Stamp line from By LORi Designs! This is Charlie!

I paired him with another cute sentiment from WFC and coloured him up with my copics! I'm not sure why I've been on a 'no dp' kick lately but sometimes I love this clean and simple look! Still trying to figure out why it takes me just as long to assemble though...lol!

Anway By LORi Designs has a great challenge goin on right now,

check out the BLD Challenge Blog HERE to play along with us!

Hope you have a fabulous week! I think spring is finally here...YAY!!!!!

Put a little spring in your step with Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps...

Welcome to the weekend! Today at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps our hostess with the mostess is the always entertaining Krafty Girl Andrea! Her challenge this week is to use

SPRING COLOURS!

This was a perfect challenge for me, spring colours are right up my alley! Most of my 'hoarded' dp drawer consists of bright cheery paper so I didn't have difficult time putting this together! For my card I used Springtime Bunnies which is available HERE in the KKShop. I coloured them up with my copics and cut them out with my cutterbee's. I used some cloud dp for the background which was cut with my Nesties. I added a teeny little rhinestone butterfly I got from the Dollar Store to the sky paper. I then took some white cardstock and cut a border using one of my favorite MS punches. I used my new Scor-Buddy and made score lines on the cardstock so I could fold it back so the ends could meet at the back. I added some MS dp in green gingham and finished it off with a big old bow (made with my trusty Bow Easy) and a button!

We'd love to see your Spring coloured cards this week! Link up your card on the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog for your chance to win the stamp 'Caroline' as seen on Andrea's awesome card!

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Baby Belle....

TGIF!!! Yay, its Friday and that means the weekend is here! Its also the last Friday of the month and that means at Baby Bud Designs its Freebie Friday! The cute little flower on my card today is today's freebie! Her name is Baby Belle!

I paired her with this cute cute sentiment from WAX FRUIT COMPANY, a great site that offers lots of wonderful digital sentiments, digital stamps and even digi papers! You must check it out!

I coloured little Baby Belle with a few copics and added some prismacolor pencils to add a softer look! Had to add some glitter to the oustide of the flower and finished it off by adding a border on the bottom and a little purple rhinestone to dot the i!

We also have a brand new challenge starting up today. The challenge is FLOWERS! Well this should be an easy one, the freebie today is a Flower so the hard part is done for ya. To be eligible for the prize of 3 free digis from the Baby Bud Etsy Shop all you have to do is use a Baby Bud Image and link up your card HERE!

Have fun and thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I always love reading your wonderful comments!

You make my heart smile....

Hi there everyone! I hope you're getting through your week ok! We got hit with more snow overnight so to cheer myself up I decided I'd play in my craft room for a bit!

This is what I came up with!

I used the adorable EVIE digi from BLD's BUG & ROO Stamps by talented Miss Hannah herself! How cute is little Evie? She's available for purchase HERE! I strategically placed her so it looked like she was 'standing' on the letters so I could fit the big heart to the left!

The digital sentiment is from a fabulous shop called Wax Fruit Company owned by the super sweet Arielle!

I coloured Evie up with my copics and added a bit of blue copic marker to the big letters in the sentiment to co-ordinate! I took my brand new Scor-Buddy (Oh My, I am in LOVE with this) and scored a little frame around the perimeter of the card! You can get your own Scor-Buddy at Scrappin' Great Deals but they are flying off the shelves so be warned...lol!!! Then I dusted off the old cricut and cut the heart with scallop border and popped it on! I had fun with this one!

Be sure you swing by the By LORi Designs Blog , a new colour challenge starts tomorrow! Please remember to use BLD Images only...You can purchase images HERE at
the By LORi Designs Shop. We have some as low as $1. YAY!!

Each week the team will vote on a TOP Lollipop CARD and that designer will
receive a digi from the BLD Shop and will have an opportunity to be our
guest designer for the following challenge. Yippppeee!!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Break out the BUTTONS!!!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Today at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps I get to play 'hostess'

and bring you a brand new challenge for this week!

I challenge you to use BUTTONS!

Big buttons, little buttons, lots of buttons as long as there are buttons!

I chose to make a pocket card again. I haven't made one in a while and they are super fast and fun to make. I usually follow this tutorial found on SCS HERE, by the fabulous Beate, one our veteran guest designers! I used Becky Broadsword which is now available for purchase in the Kraftin Kimmie Shop! Ok, I just noticed that I meant to type YAR birthday instead of YER...oops...it never fails! ANYWAY....(I'm so annoyed at myself right now...LOL...)...lets just say this little pirate has a lil' country in her!

I hope you join in with the fun over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog! If you do you'll be in the running to win Becky Broadsword shown on my card! Also, don't forget to check out what the rest of the Krafty Girls have to show you!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Macies Rainbow...

Hi Everyone! Just a quick post today but wanted to share with you a very sweet image called Macies Rainbow from By LORi Designs!

Isn't she the sweetest? The possibilities are endless creating with this image and I LOOOVE rainbows! The sentiment is a rub-on I picked up from Scrappin' Great Deals a while ago and knew it would be perfect for Macie!

I hope you're enjoying your day! We are on march break right now and my daughter has come down with the flu...perfect timing right?...lol!
