Happy Bird-Day

There's another fun new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges - this time, the challenge is to add a pet to your card.  I created this card with a bird!




Super sweet birdie from Elizabeth Craft Designs Bird-Day Party Stamps cut out with the coordinating dies.  The background is from an old mixed media class I took :)  The Stitched Hexagon and circles are also from ECD, but the circles is no longer available.  The other dies and stamps are listed below.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you decide to join our challenge!

Craftily yours,

Crazy for Sketch Challenges

If you're looking for the Dare 2B Artzy blog hop, go here.  Otherwise, it's time for a FUN new challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges!  LoVe!  Here's the amazing new sketch:


And here is what I did with it using some amazing products from Elizabeth Craft Designs!


It's a lay-out for my planner to remind me of my big brother's birthday, which was just a few days ago.  Ironically, I got the planner page done and am just mailing his card today!  Oops.  He still loves his lil sister anyway.

Here's the two pages that I did for this lay-out using the super-cute Monkey die.


Hope you join our challenge!

Craftily yours,

LoVe Challenge

There's a FUN new challenge happening at Dare 2B Artzy!  I super-dee-duper love this pair of otters created with the Otterly Awesome Stamp Set:



Fun, Fun!  I got so excited with how cute they are that I neglected to write down what Copics I used....  The little shells are also part of the set, and I fussy cut them out.  While the paper I chose is out of stock, there are some adorable new papers in the Seas the Day Collection that would be great for a substitute! 

Craftily yours,

Karen
