Some outside fun...cuddling with a puppy

I created this tag/bookmark for the latest challenge over at 

Creative Knockouts

Challenge #135

Theme - Outside Fun

Sponsored by Lacy Sunshine

I coloured this cute image Caroline and Millie and fussy cut her to put on this diecut tag.

I used the image Caroline and Millie which can be found HERE in the Lacy Sunshine shop.

I had a lot of fun colouring her up, and creating this tag,
which I may just keep for myself and use as a bookmark.

Crafting from the Heart - 105 - ATG

A cute critter

Here's the card I finally finished in support of the Aurora Wings Fundraiser 

going on to celebrate their 2 Year Anniversary.

I received this image (and another one) by making a $10 donation to the fundraiser.  

All the details are here, and there's still time to donate if you'd like to.

I had such fun colouring this image up and then creating my card (some of the embellishments I used were sent to me by a very special animal-loving friend...you know who you are)

I hope you'll go over to Aurora Wings and check this out, and perhaps donate and play along.

Challenge #110

Theme - Stitching

Sponsored by Scrapper's Delights 

I used the image GENIE SENTIMENTS 3 which can be found HERE in the
Scrapper's Delights Shop.

Stitching is one of my favourite techniques these days.
I have a secret to tell you about this project...
I did try to do "real" stitching on this card but it didn't show up and then time got away from me so I had to add pen-stitching to it (sigh).
It looks nice, but wasn't how I envisioned it when I started this challenge card !
Anyhow...I do hope I've inspired you to play along with us at CAGI.

Challenge #109

Theme Easter/Spring

Sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls

I used the image using Carrot Love Owen from Paper Nest Dolls

Don't you just love this image?  I had to use it to create a spring/Easter card.
I coloured it with copics and found some cool woven/burlap paper in my stash which I think gives it a basket feel.  I added a little flower and a doily to dress it up a little and it was done.
Overall I'm very pleased with this card.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at CAGI
