Thinking of you

Well it's time for another challenge at Fitztown

This week's challenge #50 is Banners / Pennants.

Here's what I created with the lovely image Flower set of 6 which can be found on Etsy here.


I coloured this with copics and double-matted it to really make it pop.  
If you know me, you know I love CAS cards and this one is one of those !!  
I love how the image is so prominent !! 

I hope you'll pop over to the Fitztown Challenge Blog and play along...it's an easy challenge having to add a banner or pennant !!


Summer fun...as we get closer to fall

Here's a card I created for this last challenge of August at Craft Your Passion




Can you believe it's the last week of August?  I know I can't, and I'm sure my son cannot believe that he goes back to school next week and that means summer is pretty much over for him !!  Oh my...

I used the image Summer Fun 2 from Stitchy Bear's Digi outlet.

If you play along this week you could win a fabulous prize.

Fitztown - For the Kids challenge

There's a new challenge at Fitztown !

Challenge #48 - For the Kids

I've used a really cute image le5 from the Last Enchanter series of images.


My son and husband LOVE the game "Clash of Clans" and this image reminded me of that game.  I guess she'd be an Archer in the game !!  I wanted to keep an earthy feel to the card, so I used mostly brown tones.  I've left the sentiment off this card because quite honestly I'm not sure if it will be a birthday card or something else !!  How cute is this image?  Don't ya just love it?

I hope I've inspired you to play along this week.  There are sooo many possibilities for creating a card For the Kids on this challenge.  I look forward to seeing what you create !!
