I have a new job, DT Coordinator!

You may have noticed the funny little button on the right side of my blog. Well, I am super excited to be a part of the first SKdigis design team. Not only that, my lovely friend Sonia has asked me to be the DT coordinator. I am so excited to take on this role and partner with Sonia to kick off her new online digi store. Not to mention, I get to design with some amazing gals. Check out the entire DT here.

Tuesday Alchemy has a Bingo challenge going on and I thought I would give it a try.
From the bingo card I used ribbon or bows, my choice, and buttons. 

Here is my creation using one of the digis you can find over on the SKdigis website now. Isn't it sweet?
I am still working on my copic coloring, but I like how this turned out. But how could I go wrong with such an adorable image. You can see all of Sonia's digis here. You'll want to check back often because she is adding new designs all the time.  She even has some freebies to download now!

Sonia and the DT will be kicking off the SKdigis challenge blog with the first challenge on September 3rd. Hop over there now to start following so you don't miss out on any of the fun we have planned for you.


Here's how I did it....

Pattern papers from .....paper pad
Bird house digi from SKdigis
Sentiment from BugBites All Year Round stamp set

Happy Birthday!

Nope not my birthday but rather just a challenge card for a birthday girl. However, if it is your birthday today--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Have you guys heard of the Paper Craft Island Blog? If you are a survivor fan, then you will love this. Hop over to check it out.

So, every so often when the island members are working on their immunity projects, the general blogger community is invited to participate in reward challenges. This week is Reward Challenge #2.. the challenge is to make a birthday card for a 10 year old girl. So easy that I had to play along- not to mention I am dying to know who gets the immunity idol!
My card is simple but says it all and what young lady doesn't like pastel colors. Hope she likes it!!

Here's how I did it...
A2 base from white card stock
Background pattern paper from My Minds Eye Fine and Dandy paper pack
All other paper from my scrap box
Candles cut at 2.25" from Birthday Bash cart
Border stamp from My Creative Time Small Talk stamp set
Sentiment from My Craft Spot Tiny Tags stamp set
Stickles
Ribbon from my stash- bow made using my new 3 Girl Jam bow maker-Awesome!!

It's the Queen of Hearts

So if you haven't heard, there is a new challenge blog soon to start some fun challenges. Yup, it's SK digis by Sonia. She is super talented with designing some super fun images just waiting for you to play and create with.

Challenges will begin September 3. In the meantime, hop over to her website to see all the great designs now and start playing.

One of my favorites is her little Queen Bee. I posted a card with one Queen Bee a few days back, but here is another cutie I call the Queen of Hearts. She's got love in her eyes!
Yes, I know we're not even near February, but the idea for this card just popped into my head so I had to do it it right away. I guess I have one card done for that holiday.

I colored and cut all the layers for the bee using the Cameo and Silhouette software. Sonia has a great tutorial here to see how to do this.  I can't wait to see what "Queen Bee" will look like for fall!

I am so excited to be a part of Sonia's Design Team. Can't wait to get started with the first Challenge, September 3rd. Spread the word!



Here's how I did it..
A2 card base with white card stock
All papers are from my scrap box-I even had to piece the background and cover the seam with ribbon
Hearts were left over die cuts from last valentine's day- can't remember the carts they are from :(
Love U sentiment from My Pink Stamper and heat embossed
Valentine sentiment printed from my computer
Glitter pen on the eyes and crown
Teeny tiny black buttons from  my stash
