Sprinkled With Love

This is a card I created for the progressive challenge at 'from the heart stamps'.  I recolored the sentiment (which comes with the image) in Photoshop Elements and then printed it directly on the card.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.

To create the shaker embellishment, I used a very large wiggly eye.  I removed the back and then printed the image and adhered it to the back of the plastic.  This has become my favorite way of making shakers.

Challenges

Crafty Gals Corner: summertime fun 
Sisterhood of Crafters: summer fun

Life's A Wave

It looks as if summer might finally be here, yay!  And what better way to celebrate than catching a wave!  This is one of the new images from 'from the heart stamps'.  The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and I used some Stampendous Shabby White embossing enamel for the waves.  I followed the sketch at 'from the heart stamps sketch challenge'.  

  At least, I hope it qualifies.  I'm never sure how much I can manipulate a sketch.  But the twist was to make a circular card so I made a circular easel card. 

Challenges
from the heart sketch challenge
Coffee, Chocolate, & cards:  use a die cut
Crafting with Friends:  anything goes
Creative Fingers:  anything goes
Cut It Up:  sun and surf

You Are Toadally Awesome!

Today I have another card share with an image from 'from the heart stamps'.  I am thoroughly enjoying these images; they just make me smile!  There is a single image of the fly and so I duplicated it and then printed it on some DP and then cut the banner.  The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I used their sketch and the twist.
Hope you are having an awesome day!  Thanks for visiting!

Flamingos and Hot Chicks

This adorable flamingo image is a digital stamp from 'from the heart stamps'.  I duplicated the image and then flipped it.  The sketch is this weeks 'from the heart' sketch challenge and the twist was to fussy cut the image so I did that and placed them on pop dots.  The sentiment is part of the collection.

This is a little booklet I created, using a 6"x9" envelope. I didn't use any dimensional embellishments since I wanted to be able to tuck it into my purse. I made it to practice doodling and zentangles. I'm still not happy with my writing so I printed the sentiments and then added the doodles. Practice, practice! I used the flap of the envelope to create the closure with a magnet.
