Hedge Hog Flower - Happy Birthday!

Helloooo! It is a bit nippy here this past week with the chill of the winds, rain and snow. It has been a busy time as the volleyball season is starting to come to an end and basketball season is on the horizon.

Kelly has a fun new challenge for us at Creative Knockouts for Challenge #63. She would like us to use a BANNER somewhere on your creations. Our fun sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and I would love to thank them for letting me use Hedge Hog Flower. It is crazy fun to color.

My card is below.  Please forgive me for my crooked picture, guess I was the leaning tower of Tamie...all 5'5 of me....LOL.  My card size is 6 x 5 1/2...really stepping out of the box for me...LOL. My niece is having a birthday this month and I was thinking of her when I made this card.

Inspired By A Song

Good Morning! We have had a very hot week so far and last night ended up with two storms passing threw.  Lots of thunder and lightening but it has cooled things down a bit. One of my highlights this last week was going to the brand new swimming pool in Wetaskiwin with my husband and daughter.  I must say it was extremely weird not being able to just swim but they were awesome with me and helped me out lots. It has been just about 9 months since I have been in the pool and boy have I sure missed the water. Now onto why you are here...

We are on CHALLENGE #202 at 4 Crafty Chicks.  Our wonderful hostess this week is our fabulous chick Tina.  She would like us to create something "INSPIRED BY A SONG".  There are so many good songs out there and if anything my trouble was narrowing them down to just one.

SONG INSPIRED BY NICK LOWE
"I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock And Roll" 

I love this song! My girlfriends had this played at my wedding and we all danced to it. It was so awesome, a wonderful memory and an very fun party.  The digi is from Kenny K called the Wedding Dance. These digi's are so much fun to color up.  This particular card was made when my fellow Chick Leanne came for a visit, where we got some crafting time on. Don't faint but yes you are seeing flowers for the second time is as many weeks *wink*.  The image has been colored with copic markers. You can't tell by the picture but the dress is shiny from a clear glitter pen.

I would love to enter my card into the following challenges:

Crafting With Dragonflies - Challenge #30 - Clean and Simple (CAS)

Crafty Creations Challenges - Challenge #267 - Let's Party

Creative Moments - Challenge #46 - Anything Goes/Celebration (Wedding Dance)

We would love to have you pop on over to 4 Crafty Chicks...I personally can't wait to see what song inspires you.  Our guest designer and my fellow chicks have rockin inspiration for you too.

Wishing you a fabulous week! Thanks for sharing my new DT card with me.

Just Wanted To Say Hello

Good Morning! Yesterday, we had a good dose of rain which should green things up nicely and hopefully get rid of a bunch of snow mold. After having some warm temperatures on the weekend, the house feels a little chilly today.

I am excited to show you my latest DT creation for 4 Crafty Chicks. Our hostess this week is our one and only very talented Lori!! We are on Challenge #191 and she would like us to EMBOSS.

My card below used a technique called DEBOSS Using Dies.  I learned how to do this from a fantastic tutorial by Joy Taylor at La-La Land Crafts Inspiration and Tutorial Blog.  I used the Gilded Gates 2 and fussy cut my Milk Coffee image out to make it look like she is walking in front of the gates.  I need a little bit more practice at this new technique but I love the new way to use my dies.  My photo doesn't do this card justice but I can say I am very proud of it.

Recipe:

Stamp: Milk Coffee Digi, Kraftin Kimmies Stamps - Everyday Sentiments

Paper: Fresh Prints, Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede, Whisper White

Beautiful Bride!

Hello all! Welcome back to my blog. I am really excited to have another DT post for 4 Crafty Chicks.  It is Thursday and our hostess for our new challenge is our wonderfully talented Tina.

For Challenge #181 Tina would like us to use PEARLS! Who doesn't love pearls.  I know Leanne, Lori, Tina and Debi do.

I am excited about my card this week! It is an all white creation with the image being a digi from Milk Coffee that I won quite a while ago but finally have a printer to print it with.  Isn't this bride just gorgeous.  It is hard to see but I used dazzling glitter on the bottom of the dress, bow behind the glitter, bodice, gloves, necklace, earrings and her val.  The texture has been added by using Divine Swirl and Swiss dots.  Each layer has been popped up and I made sure to use lots and lots of pearls :)

Bling It Up!

Our Challenge #2 for the Month of February is to Bling It Up (gem/glitter). The winner will receive 3 digis of choice from Scrappers Delights store.

My image for this card is called Rose Petal Digi Stamp 3.  I just think she is so adorable. She reminds me a little of  Tinker Bell. I can't wait to color the petal in different colors.  For my bling I decided to use Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the petals but just couldn't leave out the pearls.
