It's time for another day of inspiration from me for this week's challenge at Fitztown

Challenge #54 Animals.

I used this lovely Tiger image which can be found here.

I coloured the image with a couple of orange copic markers, used a circle die to cut it out and then matted it on a dark orange circle.  I decided to add interest by cutting a hole in the front of my card like a window and adhering the image onto the inside of the card.  I had this wonderful halloween twine, which goes perfectly with this great tiger image.  A little "It's your birthday" greeting on the bottom corner and voila my card is done. 

I hope I've inspired you to play along this week at Fitztown. 

Cake for you...

It's time for another challenge at Brown Sugar Challenge blog

Challenge #114 - Colour Challenge

I used this really fun image BUTTERCREAM BABE - SASSY from Sassy Studios

Don't you just want some cake now !!!!

I hope you'll pop over to Brown Sugar Challenges and play along.

It's getting to feel a lot like FALL....

Here in Southern Ontario, we've suddenly experienced a drop in temperatures and it sure feels like FALL is just around the corner.  

I crated this card for the latest challenge at Fitztown.  

Challenge #54 - Fall Colours

I love the warm fall colours and really think my watering can looks shiny, the way I coloured it !!

The image I used is GARDEN 7 and can be found here.

I hope you'll pop over and play along with us for a chance to win a prize.

Going Round in Circles...

Here's a card I created for the latest challenge at Craft Your Passion

I used an image from Fitztown and created this masculine card.  It's pretty CAS (Clean and Simple) but effective.  The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Sending you some sweet Angels

One can never have too many Angels around them !  I created this card for the latest challenge at Brown Sugar.

Brown Sugar Challenge #110 - Lace

the image is from Robyn's Fetish and is called ANGEL CHORUS - it can be found here.

I had fun colouring these little angles in purple and pink but couldn't find my stickles to add a little glitter to their wings.  

I kept the card pretty CAS and just added a little bit of bling with the pearls.  I hope you like it. 

Come on over and play along for a chance to win a prize.  

Fitztown Creative Inspiration

Well it's my turn to provide you with some creative inspiration for this week's challenge at Fitztown.

This week the challenge is Fantasy and I've used this wonderful new image FAE Fairy Cameo, which can be found here on Etsy.

I coloured her with copics and used some chalks to add some subtle colour to the background. I used some bling on the bottom corner of the card which reminded me a bit of the pattern in her dress.  The wings are blue/gray and have a touch of sparkle to them (but it didn't really show up well in this photo).

I had a great time with this image and even coloured her hair in a bit of a funky colour too !!

I hope I've inspired you to play along with this fun challenge.

Back to School and a challenge...

Well it's that time of year...Back to School for many of you and your kids !!  

Can you believe summer is over already...where did it go...and I do wonder how many days of rain we had (too many) 

It's Monday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Craft Your Passion !!

Challenge #229 - Back to School

This week I used this wonderful image from Saturated Canary "Pixie Nerd" 

I coloured her up at a Colour-Along with Alyce Keegan of Kit and Clowder and had a blast.  Finally turned her into a card!

I hope this new school year is MAGICAL for all of you.  

Hope to see your back to school creations on the CYP Challenge blog this week !!
