Kraftin' Kimmie Krop - Challenge #3 - Use unconventional colours

This is the 3rd challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie's Krop last weekend.  This challenge was fun because it was to use unconventional colours, so I decided to do a funky haircolour.  I also carried over the same image from Challenge #2, and did the paper-pieced dress/skirt again too.

Don't you just love her crazy haircolour?  It was done with B00, BG09

I had a lot of fun with this creation.  The image is called LOLA LOLLIPOP and can be found here.

Kraftin' Kimmie Krop - Challenge #2 - Paper Piecing

Here's another card I created for the 2nd challenge of the Kraftin' Kimmie Krop!

This time we had to do paper piecing on our creation. 

I used this cute polka dot paper to piece the skirt.  Don't ya just love polka dots?  I know I do !!

I used this lovely image called Lola Lollipop which can be found here.

Kraftin' Kimmie Krop Challenge #1 - Fussy Cutting

I created this card for one of the five challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie last weekend for the Krop.

This challenge was to do/use fussy cutting on your creation with a Kraftin' Kimmie image.

I used this great image from the set called YOU'RE FANG-TASTIC by Kraftin' Kimmie artistCheryl Alger.

I love how cute this little guy is and he reminds me of my son.

I will be sending this card along to Kards for Kids, Hospital for Sick Children.

Another Colour Competition happening now...

Hey everyone, there's another exciting colour competition going on at Kit and Clowder.

This time the image is from The East Wind and you can grab her here at half-price.

I'm working on colouring mine up now and will have it posted by the end of the weekend.  I hope you'll pop over and grab the image and have some fun colouring her up and sharing her, for a chance to win !!

A simple Happy Brithday card

Here's a card I created for Kards for Kids, Hosptial for Sick Children Toronto

It's very CAS (Clean and Simple) but fits the bill for the requirement of no embellishments

 (choking hazards), and besides who doesn't love bakers and/or cupcakes !! 

I used this cute Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp 

I'm entering it in the current challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie (Anything Goes)

A magical substance...

If you know me, you know I LOVE my COFFEE !!  Sooo I was very excited to create a coffee-themed card for the latest challenge at Brown Sugar !!

Challenge #100 - Colour Challenge

Here's a cute card I made for the latest challenge at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog.

I had some fun while creating this card thinking about how true the sentiment is.  You can find this image (Stella Peeker - Magical Substance) and sentiment at Bugaboo Stamps (right here)...and also check out the FREEBIE Friday they have going on each week.  I do love Bugaboo !!

Hope to see all your wonderful and colourful creations at the Brown Sugar Challenge Blog.

Design Day at Fitztown

It's my turn to showcase something I created or designed for the latest challenge at Fitztown.

I created this lovely scallop circle card using the wonderful image FAE 37 which can be found here.

The challenge at Fitztown is a SHAPED CARD, so this is what I created.

I had a lot of fun colouring it up and think it makes a beautiful card on the scalloped card base.

I wanted to share with you how you can create a shaped card and have it STAND on it's own without ruining the integrity of the shape.  I learned this awhile back at an online card class I took.

1. cut two of your shapes out of cardstock
2. cut one of your shapes out of patterned or coloured paper and attach to one of the white bases
3. score the remaining base about 1/2 inch from the top (in a straight line)

4. add a strong adhesive to the scored portion only

5. carefully line your card up so that it is going to stand properly on a table (i.e. don't let the image be crooked or it will not stand properly)

Now your card is done and stands with the base backing of the card with the bend in, and your front image is intact.

I hope you enjoyed this little tip and will play along with us this week in our Shaped Card challenge.  

I look forward to seeing what you create.
