So many cute images!

What a special challenge at The Cutie Pie Challenge.  Challenge #115 marks our 6th birthday of being a challenge blog.  The challenge for this month is MY FAVORITE CUTIE IMAGE. I've used this adorable image from Paper Nest Dolls named Ellie With Flowers.


This will be my last card as a Design Team member of this awesome Team. Hubby and I have decided to leave the desert of Phoenix, Arizona and relocate to a small town named Waynesburg in Kentucky. We have so much to do to leave here and so much to do to get the old home in Waynesburg updated and ready for our arrival!  I'll miss this lovely team and thank them for all their kind words and inspiration over the past two years I've been on the team.

I colored her with Copics.

Our sponsors for this special challenge celebrating our 6th birthday are:

All Creatures Great and Small

Time for a little inspiration at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog...Challenge #112 where the topic is ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL. I used this awesome stamp by Bugaboo named Giraffe Blocks.

I watercolored the giraffe blocks with my Zig watercolor pens and then layered them.  I had this black and white giraffe paper and didn't like the white so I colored it with the same pens I used on the giraffes.

The sponsors for this month are Di's Digi Stamps and Bugaboo.

$10 voucher to Di's Digi Downloads

Jumping rope, hopscotch, tag...

It's that wonderful time again...time for a new challenge at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog!  The team was able to used any stamp they wanted to and I chose this rubber stamp by Dreamerland named Jump Rope Workout. This little stamp brought back such fond memories of my childhood.

I colored my image with Copics and used an assortment of dies from Spellbinders, My Favorite Things and a tag die of unknown origin. My flowers are sweetheart blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I get lots of comments about my bows. I love ribbon and adding bows to my cards is something I like to do. I use a bow tool for my bows and if you'd like more info about it, please e-mail at the address at the top right corner of my blog.

Coloring Easter Eggs

It's time for a new challenge at Cutie Pie Challenge Blog. And this one is going to be fun for everyone.  The challenge is:  BUNNIES AND CHICKS.  We're gearing up for Easter and so pull out those cute images!  I used this cute image from Pink Gem Designs named Bunny Painting Egg.

This is a stair stepped card and so you can see how it opens, there's another photo below that might explain it. It's easy to make and makes for a fun cute card! I love this paper and it's by Doodlebug.

I colored my image with Copics and the tiny butterflies flying around him are by Memory Box and I added a touch of glitter to each of their wings. The swirls on the sides are by QuicKutz and the daisy die cut and grass are by Joy and I put yellow flocking on the centers of the daisies.  I used my Cuttlebug machine to cut out the dies. The eggs across the bottom are actually buttons with their backs cut off and glued on my card.

The team at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog have made some adorably CUTE cards to inspire you to join us for this challenge of BUNNIES AND CHICKS! Please take a look at their creations!


Our sponsor is Pink Gem Designs. And the prize is 2 "single" digi stamps of the winner's choice!

Okay, so it's not April, but look at this adorable image from Little Miss Muffet Stamps named Puddle Jack. I couldn't resist coloring him up for our new challenge at The Cutie Pie challenge of Digis and Die Cuts.

A candy cane Christmas

It's time for a new challenge at the Cutie Pie Challenge Blog. Our challenge this month is A DAY IN THE SNOW.  We have three wonderful sponsors this month and two that gave us images! I chose to do 2 cards since the images were just too cute to not use them!  This card uses an adorable image by Bugaboo.

As you can see, I went with "less is more" for this card. The image was so cute and I had this awesome ribbon and I decided to make the most out of both items. I used 3D paint and sprinkled white glitter over it for the snow and there's a bit of glitter on my image.

This ribbon was perfect for this card and I used my Craft-Dee BowZ bow tool to make this perfect double looped bow.

We have a total of three sponsors this month: Bunny Zoe's, Bugaboo & Paper Nest Dolls.

$15 to spend in online store

I hope you'll join us at the Cutie Pie Challenge this month where the challenge is A DAY IN THE SNOW.


Since this is the last post I'll be making for the Cutie Pie Challenge before Christmas, let me with you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
