All you need is Love

Hello Everyone!!

Well it's Day 4 of the new year. Hope the new year is treating you well.

Crafty Creations Challenges has a new monthly challenge that began on Jan. 1 

I got busy and am late in posting this for the blog.

The sponsor for our January challenge is Digi Doodle Studios

The winner will receive 3 digi stamps

And they have the cutest images

Check out their digi images

Definitely something for everyone's needs/wants

Well my card making thoughts have gone to the next card making holiday, which is probably Valentines Day, so I decided to get a head start on my Valentines cards.

I chose to use Faithful Friends (check her out here) and it really reminds me of my faithful friend - Buddy. Except my faithful friend is a cat, but you know it really doesn't matter if the FF is a cat or a dog. All of our faithful friends are just fun to have in our lives.

Here is my creation/project

Isn't this image ca-ute!!!

Hearts - New Post for Crafty Creations Challenger

Hello Bloggers
Thanks for stopping by today

Today is the start of a new challenge over at the Crafty Creations Challenge and the theme is Hearts, perfect for Valentines Day. It will be here in less than two weeks. 

The sponsor for this challenge is Robyn's Fetish. 

Love their digital images. Check out their great selection here.

 Since the theme is hearts I decided to use Tilly the Toad. Check out her heart dimples. 

And she is a cutie, for sure. 

 I decided she would be at home on a lily pad sitting next to a water lily.

I hand drew the lily pad and used sunflower blooms to fashion into the water lily flower. I used some DP's and added a dark green heart in keeping with the heart theme. The sentiment is something I came up with and added those little red hearts to make the sentiment oh so special.

Everything Matters

Hello Everyone.
Are you getting used to seeing, saying and writing 2015. I am sure I will mess up this month at some point. LOL

Well we are thru with Christmas and now the next big card giving day is Valentines Day. The Craft-Dee BowZ design team will be posting Valentine projects all this month. Since it's the first Tuesday of the month, it's my turn to post. So let me start off the month with my card.

In looking at the "stuff" I haven't used in a long time, I got a few ideas to incorporate in my card.I decided to use my ribbon punch that I haven't used in eons.I also decided to score a diamond pattern on the white panel and on the heart. (Haven't done that in eons, either). In threading my ribbon thru the punched openings, I folded the ribbon in half, since the ribbon was wider than the openings.

Here is a closer view of my bow. It's a double loop bow and my Craft-Dee BowZ tool made it so easy to make the bow.

Have you submitted a project to the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge this month?? The theme is always "Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow". Easy-peasy.

Just a reminder - we will be having our bi-monthly blog hop, and it starts Feb. 5 @ 10:00 p.m. et. Please mark your calendars and join us for more inspiration.
