You are Toad-ally Amazing, you know that right?

I've had this image printed off for a while..it was before i changed my paper out to X-Press, this paper was GP from Wal-mart.  So what have i noticed now?  Well, GP absorbs more..so i used more ink..i didn't have too much of a problem this time with bleeding, but then, i knew i was cutting out my image.

I've made this card for Tiddly Inks Challenge which is a sketch..

Here is he sketch from Tiddly Inks:

Happy Birthday, Cupcake box

I purchased several of these cupcake boxes because they fit perfectly inside of an explosion box.  I had done several of the boxes up by adding the flowers and the folded paper around the bottom.  Wasn't sure how i was going to embellish them until these challenges came up for technique, gift box and cupcake photo inspiration..and again because of these 3 challenges this project came together.

Here is my project and a second picture w/the box opened:

Merry Christmas..a few months to go

You know when you have a vision of what you want a card to look like and you remember seeing a card that you really liked and that was why you bought the image, but when you go to make the card you can't find it?  Yep, that happened to me this time...so this card is from memory...and when and if i find the original card that inspired me i will compare it and probably make yet another card. lol

Here is my card..and you know it's 5 months away from Christmas..but sure seems like the time flies fast from now until then!

Enjoy Your Day!

Totally made this card with these challenges in mind....and it's late and past my bedtime..so i will be brief...

Here is my card using Bud from Mo's Digital Pencil:  (and oh it' so hard to add the link for this image because it's like opening Pandora's Box every time i visit Mo's shop...and i get sooo tempted) I've tried to get the newsletter to come to my email...but it doesn't come :(  It might be a good thing though. :)

of course i used one of my "go to" places for my sketch...The Sweet Stop:

So my challenges are:
Mo's Challenge Blog- Hugs and Kisses #144
The Sweet Stop- Sketch and a spin w/numbers (i added the corner w/numbers)
