diva sketch challenge

happy spring! i love this time of year when we start to see new growth on the trees and flowers are starting to bloom. we already have some baby horses just down the road from us as well. can't wait for the baby goats and lambs too.

i love todays sketch from udi's sketch challenge. it fit the bill nicely for my card.

when i first saw this adorable little bunny stamp in the mini i knew immediately what i wanted to do with it. of course, i wanted to use a different type of greeting, but settled for 'happy easter.'

i love the card though and of course, had to use my big shot . . . again. i don't know what i ever did without it before. :)

enjoy your day and go see what adriana has made for the sketch.

diva inspiration challenge

it is inspiration challenge day again on udi and it's all about spring, butterflies and pinks and blues. so i went a little crazy with the whole thing though it is really pretty in real life.

pixie and pretty in pink along with bashful and ballet blue were used for the entire card. a teeny bit of white ribbon and some butterfly antenna finish it off. the textures are from the big shot on the top note and butterflies. i love my big shot!!!

the shimmer white/alcohol mist finishes off the card.

diva sketch surprise challenge

this week's sketch challenge on udi included a surprise. this week we were to use our pretties kit. i really don't use mine as often as i should so i'm glad there was a surprise added.

i love certainly celery. i think it is one of those colors that will go with any other color in our line. i added orchid and pretty in pink to go with my card this time. you can't tell by the picture, but the butterfly is spritzed with white shimmer paint for some subtle bling.



the picture to the right shows the detail of the butterfly.

these pictures were taken in the same place, only the position of the camera changed. sorry for the color differences. it is very pretty in real life though.

skip over to adriana's blog to see what she created for us this week as well.

diva inspiration challenge

daisies are such pretty spring and summer flowers. i love their simplicity. with that said, check out the inspiration on the diva site. i used the flowers and colors for my card this week. i kept it very very simple and did everything with the big shot and punches. the card itself is black with the green, white and yellow accenting it. the flowers have actually been laying on my table for several months. i had two sets for another project a while back and have finally put the second set to use.

hope ya like it.

diva sketch challenge

i made this card like two weeks ago and forgot i even had it ready to post. the sketch above is from the udi sketch challenge. i pre-posted because i'm in grand rapids doing a women's fest for my chocolate business. (see the link on the right) i knew it would never get done if i waited until the week of the challenge. i've never done one of these before so it will be something new, but i do know that it will be over ten hours on my feet both friday and saturday. not good when you have a bad disk in your back.

i hope you enjoy my card today. skip over and see what adriana has done for you this week.

diva inspiration challenge

i'm thinking spring with today's inspiration picture on udi. shamrocks, longer days, chip's birthday, etc. that's what march is about to me.

so, i made a very green card today. hope ya like it. after seeing the preview the picture looks rather washed out. it is very pretty in real life. i'll have to work on my photography. :P

diva sketch challenge

i broke my computer on tuesday, but fortunately already had my pictures posted for this week. hopefully i won't be too long without it.

i hope you enjoy the sketch this week and what the rest of the team has created. you may go to adriana's blog here.

have a great week. i think spring is in the air.

diva inspiration challenge

hi. i wasn't sure i would be able to share a card this week. i broke my computer tuesday and our friend is working on it right now. i thank God for friends that don't care if i go into their house and use their stuff.

check out this week's inspiration on udi here. i love ice cream. for my first eleven years my parents had a soft serve ice cream stand. bet you wish you could say the same. since those years i have become an ice cream snob. i know, not me right? haha. don't even take me near a dairy queen. . . yuck.

anyway, i was in the flower mood so i incorporated the colors versus the actual picture. hope you like it. xoxox

as for the other picture here, that is farkle. he was soooo helpful while i was making my card. he was helping with the bling brads.
