Hello

Hello everyone and welcome to MAY!!!

I am hoping that May brings warmer temperatures in my area, (Oh one can only wish. LOL)  I think winter just doesn't want to give up so we will probably have a short spring or it will by-pass us all together, Then it will be on to hot and humid til mid-September. 

Speaking of May, it's time for the start of the May challenge over at Craft-Dee BowZ. 

The April winners have been announced. So take a minute to check out the winners' list. 

Click here to look at the winners' list. 

The May sponsor is Kinda Cute by Patricia.

Have you checked out her digi's yet?  

Click here to check out her adorable collection. 

They are all so cute. 

I decided to use an adorable duck from her collection.

So, here is a little inspiration for you

using that duck.

That face on this duck is so precious, isn't it!!!

That would be a cute image for a baby card, too.

I decided to add a simple bow to this card. 

It's just a single loop bow. 

I didn't want to take away from the duck

Here is a closer view of my bow

The Craft-Dee BowZ tool is the perfect tool for all your bow making needs.

Having a Ducky Day

Welcome back everyone!!!
Today is the 1st Tuesday on the month. The Craft-Dee BowZ designers post on Tuesdays and I usually post on the 1st Tuesday of the month.

This month the sponsor is Robyn's Fetish. They have a great selection of digital images to choose from so I think there is something for everyone. Click here to browse her store

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is

Robyn’s Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to award 3 digital stamps of the winner’s choice to the winner of this challenge.

Seems I am into animals this month so I chose a darling duck to use on my project.

I decided to show a momma and her babies. That's the great thing with digi stamps, you can enlarge or decrease the size to get the look you want. I had a cattails die in my stash and also a die to cut grass, so I was off to make this adorable card.

The bow on todays card is another layered stacked bow. but this one is just 2 layers (loops) but the tails from the band around the card and the tails from the two layers make the bow look bigger.

Lets take a closer look

See, just two loops, but lots of tails, that makes this bow look fluffy and bigger than it really is.
