It's Whimsical Wednesday! That means a brand new and exciting Challenge

It's Whimsical Wednesday!!!  YAY!  

This is my very first post for being on my new DT at Whimsical Designs .  I can't tell you how 

excited I am to be accepted onto Stephanie's team.  She has a fantastic sentiment stamp line, that

works for every card occasion.

I also have to say that I am on a team with a great bunch of girls. I can't wait to be friends with each

and every one of them.

Whimsical Designs new challenge is to make a Vintage card.  http://www.stephanie-whimsicaldesigns.com/

uh-oh!  I may have missed the mark on this challenge.  I've never created anything vintage 

before, so I took a chance.. and while it may not really be vintage, it's the closest to vintage that I have ever come.  That's gotta count for something right?  LOL

I love the way it came out, and this card was so easy to make.

This is my FAVORITE sentiments stamp set.  :)  You can find it here: http://www.whimsical-designs-shop.blogspot.com/

Besties challenge #10

There is a new challenge over at the Besties challenge blog and a freebie too.  Use a Bestie, and add a sentiment.  www.bestieschallenge.blogspot.com

I used one of Sherri's new bestie pixies, not yet named, still waiting to see who was the winner on that!

This is my card.  I am just learning how to use Copic Markers. I have a long way to go, but it sure is fun
practicing with them.

What a beautiful but cold February morning here is Michigan.  It snowed a lot overnight and the trees and lawn are covered with that pretty white stuff.  I don't think I will be venturing outside today though.  :)  Perfect day for crafting.  Any day is a good day to craft.

This morning I colored this digi by Sherri Baldy from her Besties collection.  It's one in her Easter series.  Come check out her besties here: http://scrapbookstampsociety.com/categories.php?category=Besties-TM&parent_id=2022

4. CYDI Challenge #30- Little ones http://canyoudigiit.com/blog/

This week the challenge at the besties challenge blog is to use 2 different patterned papers.  I used Momenta papers. I cut a skinny strip from one paper and added it along the edge.

Non Traditional colors Valentine Card

Today I made a card using my Authentique paper line that can be found here: http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1

I used my Cricut to make the talk bubble and the shadow, then cut the word Love out of the top talk bubble.  Easy Peasy!

This beautiful paper speaks for itself.   Simple and clean.
