Easter Bunny Candles

I created these cute candles using the wonderful digi from Meljen's Easter Bunny.

I printed the image on white tissue paper, coloured it in with copics and then heat set each image onto the candle using my embossing tool.

They turned out so nicely and I will be giving one away for an Easter Gift.

I am sad to know this is the last challenge over a Meljen's and that the shop is closing.  I was introduced to digis here and haven't looked back.  I've played along with many challenges the last few years, and was even a GDT member at Meljen's.  I will always have fond memories!!  Wishing Melissa and her wonderful DT all the best in the future.

I'm entering this into the following challenge(s):
1. Meljen's #253 - Easter

Bad Hare day anyone?

It's time for another challenge at CAGI

Challenge #58

Emboss it

I used  Bad Hare Day from Meljen's Designs

I had a lot of fun creating this card and just LOVE this cute image.  I coloured it up with copics, added it to an embossed card base (diamond plate), double matted it with Harley colours and added some stitched ribbon.

I hope I've inspired you to play along this week at CAGI with us.  I look forward to seeing what you create.


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
1. Glitter and Sparkle Challenge #126 - Anything Goes
2. Suzy Bee's Challenge #69 - Anything Goes / Embossing

A Fluffy Baby Penguin

I created this cute Baby Penguin card for the latest challenge at Inspiration Destination

Challenge #20 - Anything Goes

Sponsored by Meljen's Designs

I used the Fluffy Baby Penguin digi from Meljen's which can be found here.

I coloured him/her with copics and added some stickles to the heart.  I got some cutge heart doilies recently at Michael's Arts and Craft Store (on sale for 40% off - woo hoo) and used one to accent the image.  I had a lot of fun with this card and sure hope you like it.

I hope you're inspired to play along at Inspiration Destination this week. 

Grats !!

I created this card for one of my dear friends daughter who is moving from Grade 5 into a new school for Grade 6 !!  She loves teal so I used that as the main colour on my card and decided to use the STAR embossing folder to acknowledge what a STAR she is!  I hope she likes it.

I'm entering this in the current challenge at Meljen's Designs - #215 - Texture

Father's Day card made by my son Thomas

This card was made by my son Thomas, using the FREEBIE image from Meljen's Designs last weekend, and also one of mine and my son's favourite Meljen's image - a mustache !!

I am entering Thomas' card in the latest challenge at Meljen's Designs.

A sweetheart cupcake card...

I created this card for a Meljen's Designs Facebook challenge.  This image is a freebie this weekend on the Meljen's Designs Facebook group !

Isn't it just sooo sweet looking ?  I've purposely left the sentiment off, so I can decide when I send this card out if it's a Birthday card of a Thank You...You're so sweet card.

Happy 4th Anniversary Meljen's Designs

Here's a card I created using a FREE image from Meljen's Designs to celebrate their 4th Birthday/Anniversary.

Coincidentally it's my birthday week too...but I'm way over 4 years old !!

Meljen's Designs was the very first digital stamp company I used and I've loved them ever since.  

I've been lucky enough to win some challenges and also to be a Guest Designer earlier this year at Meljen's.  

If you haven't seen the lovely digis created by Melissa, please pop on over and check them out.  She's got some amazing designs and I'm showing you another of my favourites here (from a post a few weeks ago)

I bet people who know me can guess why I like this one !! LOL !!

I'm entering the top card in the Meljen's Designs 4th Birthday challenge.

It's a very exciting time at Meljen's Designs. We are celebrating 200 challenges - WOO HOO !! Isn't that just AWESOME !! And...I'm lucky enough to be a Guest Designer for this wonderful milestone.

Here's my creation for the Blog Hop:

I was able to choose any image I wanted to celebrate this milestone...so of course you KNOW I just had to choose a penguin. This is an image I have had for awhile and just love it. I thought it was appropriate because of the "Hooray" banner she is holding. Don't you just love this image??

My quickest card EVER!!!

I created this card this morning for the Meljen's Designs Challenge #195 - Time's Up (create a card in under 30 minutes) !!

This card took me a whole 3 minutes if you count printing it on my computer, colouring it up and adding Stickles, folding it, and chomping the corners !!

Okay...okay...I know it's not very elaborate, but it fits the bill for what I need for Kards for Kids, HSC cards (no embellishments/choking hazards) and it's pretty darn cute if you ask me. I'm going to make about a dozen more to send along to the kids.

It uses a wonderful image from Meljen's called WINTER SPRIG which you can find here:

Meljen's Designs - Challenge #194 - Not Just Black and White

This week's challenge over at Meljen's Designs is a fun one...Not Just Black and White (use black and white + 1 colour). As a penguin fanatic, I found this challenge to be super fun 'cuz I can use a cute penguin image for it. It's my 2nd challenge as a Guest Designer, and I'm sure having fun !

I coloured the image with copics and found this two-tone blue patterned paper in my stash which I think works really well with the colours I used. I also used Stickles on the brim and pom-pom and glossy accents on the mug. The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie and I used some metallic prima flowers from my stash (they look a bit greeny-blue in the photo, but look better in real life).

I have used the Image "Penguin's Cocoa" which you can find here
