Polka Dots

Morning! Thanks for taking the time to see what I have for you today.  Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week is Polka Dots.
I used digi Sally and her over sized Birthday cake.  I also used my Eyelet Lace border punch by Martha Stewart.  I tried to do a frame, but didn't really like the end result and decided to cover each corner with a flower.  Was gonna add more... but decided to just leave it alone.

Fancy Border

Morning to you all! Thanks for stoppin' by to see what I have for you today.  Sassy Cheryl's challenge is to use a fancy border.  Mine is not really a border, but a Fancy Classic Frame by Nestabilities.



I'm just going crazy with this 3D thing... I colored Clueless Lucy Lou using PSE7, which is why Lucy is all layered up.  If I have to color her by hand, you wouldn't see all these 3D cards.

Here's another  one of Lucy that's bigger.  I printed her too big and didn't want to waste it.  With my PSE7 I can change the direction of the light source and also make my own sentiment, have her in different colors too

Playing in Paradise #76

Hola my Paradise Friends!! I hope it will be a sunny one for us here today... my bff and I are taking our kids to Calaway Park. We do it every summer and we stay there all day. 

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by Jessi and she wants us to  creat something soft and fuzzy.  That dog is not having fun at all.... reminds me of our dog.  She gets all cranky when she's all dress up.
I thought this one will be a breeze for me.... I tried using my Fun Flock (never used before, but have one!) and OMG... what a dissaster!  The one and only BLACK one, I managed to get it all over my table but not on my project, don't ask me how.  And trying to put it back in the container is another story.

So I didn't end up using my Fun Flock after all!  Instead, I used makingmemories "Flocked Floral Greenhouse Paperie" and American Crafts white glitter ribbon. 
 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.

How to Play:
1.  Everyone is invited to play! There are no requirements or restrictions on what products you can use to create your  challenge entry.

Sweet Stop 166

Good Morning crafters!  I made two cards last Friday, but wasn't able to post on time for the challenge.

I colored the images using PSE7.  Go ahead... call me lazy.  I don't mind, it's just easier and faster for me with all the layering.

Sweet Stop

Happy Monday to you all!  Thanks for stoppin' by to see what I'm up to today.  I have been catching up with my long overdue crafting and today I have a Sweet Stop challenge sketch for you.

I have been playing with my PSE7 for a couple of weeks now.... I finally figured out some of the stuff (which is maddening doing it on your own) and can now color an image with out loosing it. 

It's a lot of work... but I love the end result.  I got the idea from Debby and you should check out her cards.... they are just Gorgeous!  Check out her tutorial if you're interested

Here's the close up with all the layering.  I'm still learning which part to layer.  I printed this little cutie 4 times to have all the layering I needed.

Playing in Paradise #74

Happy Friday my Paradise Friends!  I hope you're enjoying your summer... we are still waiting for ours to come.  Weather forecast is always good a week before, but it gets worst as we get closer.

We went camping last weekend at Boulton Creek (Kananaskis) with a warning of Bears being around the area.... 
Mama bear and her cub strolling on the bike path Friday evening.  I didn't see them cause my oldest and I didn't want to see the play at the other camp site.  A little disappointed........it would of been nice to see them from far and inside a vehicle where you're safe.
Then Sunday afternoon our group went for a hike, but we stayed behind because of the grizzly bears being around.   The bears then decided to go through "B loop", which is our loop and went through our friends camp site which is 2 sites from us.  We were outside at that time and we gathered our girls to our trailer then decided to go in the truck instead.... forgetting about our dog!  But hey.... at least I didn't forget about my girls instead.  Drove around for a bit, looking for the bears at the other loops.  Phew.... that was a close call!

But wait...... two hours later we spotted the same bears again, BEHIND our trailer about 20 feet away!  I was freaking out cause my oldest favorite spot to gather her walking sticks and we thought she was back there, but she was actually in the trailer using the bathroom.  They're beautiful and all.... but I think I would rather I see them up close when we visit them at the zoo.
I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog.  It's my turn to host this week's challenge!  The challenge is to create a Wedding or Anniversary card.

I had fun creating this one... can you believe I actually used my copic compressor? 
 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.
