Crazy 4 Challenges - Recipe

Good Saturday Morning Everyone!!

Sorry I haven't been to around much this week.  

I, to be honest, am pretty exhausted and am have been focusing on family a bit lately!!

As some of you may know I homeschool my 2 oldest of my 5 Little Bugs, so we 

are trying to wrap up the school year.

Just entering a season where I feel my babies need me and since they are 

top priority, they have been getting my attention!!

While, trying to juggle it ALL, I have realized I can't therefore I have decided to step down from  

Bee Crafty.
This was a very hard decision, since I just love Merrigan and the Girls, not to mention her designs are ADORABLE!! Thank You Merrigan for allowing me to design for you...it was a true pleasure!!

Best Wishes to all you Girls...you are the best!!

I will still be a huge supporter and follower of Bee Crafty and I would recommend Merrigan's Images to anyone!!  In fact, they have a lovely Wedding/Anniversary Challenge going on today and the girls have created lots of pretty stuff!!
I just need a little break as I am on the verge of getting burnt out...I think we all have been here and you all know what I mean!!

 Now on to my Saturday contribution to the blogger/crafting world...

Crazy 4 Challenges

This week our super fabulous hostess Lynda, has challenged us to create according to a recipe.

It's supposed to be as easy as 1, 2, 3.  You know the kind of challenge only a silly goose could screw up on....well, just call me a SILLY GOOSE!! Why you ask?  Well, I can't even follow a simple recipe...I accidentally got carried away and instead of the 1 Ribbon, 2 Buttons/Brads and 3 Punches....I used 3 Buttons/Brads!!  Yikes, Sorry Lynda!!

I would have changed it, however I didn't notice it until I was uploading it!!

Hope you all like it anyway!!

This week's challenge is sponsored by...

The Greeting Farm.

WOOT WOOT!!!Don't you just LOVE this super fun and Freaky Flutter Image

cards...Oh and they followed the recipe correctly...Hee hee!!!

Bee Crafty

This fortnight at Bee Crafty we are celebrating 1 year of Bee Crafty fun and craftiness!!!

Yep....It's Bee Crafty's Birthday!!!
Woo Hoo!!

Congratulations Merrigan!!

So in honor of the Merrigan and Bee Crafty's accomplishments this year and the party going on over at the Bee Crafty Blog, I used Fluffy Bunny Birthday!!

This is one adorable image and can be used for boys or girls:

I created a little gift with a ribbon and button bow, accompanied by a small card....Fluffy Bunny Birthday adds all the cuteness necessary for an adorable gift bundle!!!

How to play: This fortnights theme is 'Birthday.'
Make a craft item (card or other) with a birthday theme, it must also include a DIGI IMAGE somewhere, but this doesn't have to be a Bee Crafty one.
OPTIONAL - Create a coordinating set (e.g., card + gift bags, tags, boxes...)


Please submit your entry by Saturday 10th April (Midday UK) by posting on your own blog and using Mister Linky below.

As this is our birthday, there are EXTRA PRIZES!!!

• 3 digis for the overall winner
• 1 digi each for 3 runners up
• 1 digi for best use of a Bee Crafty image
• 1 digi for the best coordinating birthday set

It's Saturday again and this is the week that I get to post about 

Bee Crafty Challenge and Crazy 4 Challenges!!

Bee Crafty

Merrigan at Bee Crafty has challenged us to create a card/project with a Spring theme.

Yep, Spring is in the air!!!

 I had fun working with Merrigan's fresh and fun image...Whimsical Girl.

She is so cute and can be used for just about any occasion!!

Here is my Bee Crafty DT Card:

I colored her and made grass with Copic Markers.

I used these cute buttons I received from a good friend for my birthday!!

A little ric rac, a splash of Fresh Green designer paper and Voila....

A Whimsically Spring card!!!!!! 

Be sure to join in the Bee Crafty fun during the next 2 weeks and go take a peek at all the
springy cards the other Crafty Girls have designed just for your viewing pleasure!!!

OH and did I mention that Merrigan just might (*wink wink*) have a treat for ALL
who hop over to take a peek!!!!  Well, she does....Hurry HERE!!!
Trust me you will NOT want to miss this!!!

Crazy 4 Challenges

Our talented March hostess, Barbara Anders has challenged us to create a 

Masculine Themed card/project.  Manly/Boyish cards are always needed and quite useful.

If you are like me, then you have plenty of girlie cards, so a boyish one is welcomed!!

Here is my C4C DT Card:

  I drew this little baby awhile back and thought he'd be perfect on my boyish card.

I used him to create a Baby Boy card that used for a Baby Shower, a Welcome baby or even 

a Congrats on your Baby Boy News Card!!!

I colored  him with Copics and a lil' white paint!! 

I used paper and chipboard embellies from ChatterBox...Yummy!! 

Tim Holtz Distressing Ink

Card Stock

I know he's not the cutest baby on the block, maybe he's got the kind of face 

only a mother could love, but oh well...he will work for this card!!

Be sure to hop over and see what the other Crazy Girls have for you!!

Bee Crafty and C4C

NOTE:

I just realized this didn't posted on Saturday...I know, call me slow, but I have a lot on my mind!! Maybe not brains, but a lot of other stuff that is more fun than brains!! LOL!!
I had wondered once or twice why I hadn't seen any emails with comments on this post, but I thought ...I guess no one liked my Bee Crafty or C4C cards this week!
Not really sure why it didn't post correctly...the same exact thing happened to my DCRU post this week.  Glad I caught it before the next one goes up!!
Sorry  Bee Crafty and C4C Girls!!

Hi Everyone!!

This has been a super fun weekend with the release of the 

Puddle Jumpers, but guess what...I have more fun for you!!

Yep, Bee Crafty and Crazy 4 Challenges FUN!!

This week the challenges made me laugh as they are BOTH all about Embossing!!

Woo Hoo!!  We all love embossing right!?!?!?!

I know I do!!

Bee Crafty

I hope you all found time to join the Bee Crafty Challenge last week...it was SEW exciting!! 

And I also hope you were able to get your own  
Whimsical Girl Kissing Couple And Whimsical Girl Heart Garden
Images...Merrigan is just too darn talented and her images are toooo sweet!!

Now for the challenge:

Embossing

Here is my DT Card:

I love coloring Whimsical Girl.  This time I used Whimsical Girl and Bird.

As you can see I used embossing on the white panels of card stock.  I embossed them with Quikutz Large and Small Dots Folders...I love them!!  Got them from DCRU

I also used a pinch of heat embossing here and there on the adorable image which you can find HERE!

Hope you join us this week at Bee Crafty!!

Bee Crafty 19- Christmas Extras

I am late!! I am late...for a very important date!!

Lately, I feel like a chicken with my head cut off...seriously!!
And so what happened?
I totally forgot about posting my Bee Crafty project!!!


Bee Crafty 19- Christmas Extras

How to play: This fortnight you must make a craft item NOT A CARD which could be considered a 'Christmas Extra' e.g., festive decoration, gifts, gift tags and wrapping... So it;

• Must be something other than a card
• Must be festive (or for Christmas e.g., as a present)
• Must include digi somewhere

You don't have to use a 'Bee Crafty' image. Submit by Saturday 19th December (Midday UK) by posting on your blog and commenting below.

Wow, this was fun!! Merrigan at Bee Crafty is offering a Bookmark Challenge. I used Sitting Boy and one of her new designs, Pile of Books (get his free at the Bee crafty Blog). I made these for Landon. He is getting closer to learning to read and I thought this would be a great treat for him!!
I am so excited to announce that my great friend and TPE Design Teammate, Sheri, is a new Bee Crafty DT Member!!! I am sooooo happy to be working by her side on another DT!! Love ya Sheri!! Welcome to the team!!!
Hope you all have a great week!!!

Bee Crafty Challenge 12 - Using Digi Papers

I got to do a first this week...First time I ever printed out and used Digital Papers. I was pleasantly surprised!! When I first heard that we were given these adorable papers from
Cupcake Digitals
I admit I was scared...first thing I thought was Oh No! Do I know how to do this? But after giving it a go...The digital papers are fabulous!!!

Thanks so much Merrigan and Cupcake Digitals for helping me to take a small step out of my box!!

The challenge this week at Bee Crafty is to use digital papers!
I chose "Doodle Dots" from Cupcake Digitals! Hop over and find a paper pack that appeals to you, then create away!!! Hope to see you this week at Bee Crafty!!!
