For My Friend...

My sharing today is for my September Spotlight for Kitty Bee Designs

My card is featuring this cute little Kitty called Sewing Kit 

You can find other cute images in the SHOP

Here's my card and I really love the way it came out

I made a 5" x 5" cream colored card base and added a layer of teal paper with 4 coordinating pattern paper squares to make it look like a quilt

The image was colored using my Copic markers: BG23, BG34, C-1, C-3, E11, E31, E35, R22, R27, YR3

My finishing touches for the card:   I shopped in my stash and found some really fun embellishments that worked perfect for this card. Fun image and Fun to color

Thanks for coming by today and have a great day - Karen

Hello Friend

My share this evening is for my DT SPOTLIGHT card over at Kitty Bee Designs

I was so late posting, yikes, this week certainly has gotten away from me!

Better late than never

I created a little scene this month using this cute image called In the Garden - Kitty

Here's my card...

A2 white card base layered with blue diamond patterned paper and using a grass die

Patterned paper by Doodlebug Design 6" x 6" pad - Sunkissed

Copic markers used:  B00, B02, E00, E11, R22, R27, R29,Y08, Y17, Blender

The images were fussy cut and mounted to the grass hill

Finished with a Hello Friend sentiment and red adhesive rhinestones

Simple and sweet...Reminds me of my mom, she loved to spend time In the Garden!

Thanks from stopping by this evening

Happy Valentine's Day...

My share today is for another sketch at From the Heart

 

This week is sketch #137, which can be found HERE

 

The TWIST this week - Hearts, Hearts and more Hearts (see sketch below)

 

 

I started with a grey A2 base.  I then layered with papers from Doodlebug Design, Inc. 6 x 6 pad called Sweet Things.

My image is a FREEBIE offered at From the Heart Stamps, called Kitten and Heart. I colored the image using the following Copic markers:  Blender, C-0, C-1, C-3, RV02, RV04.  Sentiment is found in a set call Heart Bandit.

I finished my card with a ribbon bow and pink sequins.

Another great sketch.  I love playing along and aim to finish my cards prior to the last day of the challenge, however, working full time, I can't seem to get into my craft room until the weekend.

Come play along, because guess what? Everyone who does...we get $1.00 discount to use in the store.  The discount expires after 1 month, however there are many $1 snowmen in the Project 100 Snowmen section in the shop.
And they are really cute!

Thanks for coming by today, I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.

Alot of Sharing today...with 3 Freebie images

I rarely have the opportunity to create cards just for FUN

With full time work, social life, training for a Half Marathon...what's a girl to do?

These demands just get in the way of my CREATIVE PLAYTIME

So again I ask...what's a girl to do? 

Answer...Why have a marathon card making afternoon of course

 

And now I have three cards to share with you today, that I created just for FUN!

 

I hope you will enjoy them

 

The first one is for the monthly Birdie Brown September "FREEBIE" & Challenge

 

 

I love the images at Birdie Brown and this Pumpkin BOO is just too CUTE!

You still have time to play along and grab this Freebie before the end of September
