A sweet baby announcement!

I was so excited about using these images, i had been wanting to use them since i bought them.  They so remind me of my grandkids.  When this challenge to make something "sweet" came up at Mo's challenge blog and thought..."oh, sweet!", i can use these images and make my daughter's birth announcements plus there is a bit of a sweet sucker in the image!

Here is what i think about the images, Ayden, my grandson, is the boy w/the orange shirt...he likes orange and his bangs separate just like that.  He is a twin to Beckett they are going to be 5 in Oct. Beckett is non verbal/autistic and is the sweet little boy to the right...he just never wants to look at the camera...and even though this little girl has more hair than Sadie who is 2, she is very similar to my granddaughter so i colored her thinking of her as my granddaughter. :)

What i did:

The images are actually, two separate digital images, Guilty Bert and Brady & Chloe.  I cut off the sucker that the little boy was holding behind the little girl's back so that i could include "Bert" with the images.  I have used the sketch from deconstructingjen's blog.

Copics i used:

Skin- E51, 00, 02

Bert/Chloe's Hair- E31, 33, 34

Precious Steampunk goes on a Beach Holiday card

My vision for this card is for Precious to go on beach holiday.  She's all packed and ready to go. The two images (Precious and Luggage) are from Tiddly Inks.  The Tiddly Inks challenge is to use a ticket or a tag on my card and the Birthday Sundaes challenge is to make a card based on a photo that has these colors that i've used and it has an umbrella which Precious is holding...and she is going to the beach. :)  I've also used a vintage button.

Other challenges:
Stemplesonne- Bon Voyage

You Make me Smile, Photo card

The name of this digital image from Stretch 'N" Bubbles is "Nothing but time" dragon.









What i did:
I colored and cut out the dragon.  Added the background mats and then cut out a photo of one of my grandsons.  I punched out some stars, and a border strip. Printed off the sentiment, "You make me smile" and finished off my card.




                                     
  Copics used:                 
  Belly- E51,02

I chose to make this a photo card, but you could add a sentiment to the front instead.  "You make me smile" could be under the dragon in the rectangle and the star could have a button instead of the small sentiment.

Thank "Ewe" Card

I am so honored to be able to create for Stretch 'N Bubbles (SNB) on their Design Team.  This week i chose to make a cupcake card using the cute Sheep found here.

What i did:
I used my cricut/gypsy to make the cupcake card base by using the Sweetreats cartridge.  I used different image layers to create this card. I also enlarged the frosting and reduced it to get the two layers.  I used the adorable sheep image from Stretch ''N Bubble.  I have thought of many sentiments for this card, but made only one card this week.  Some other sentiments you might consider are:
How are "ewe", Been thinking about "ewe" and "Ewe" are so special to me!
