Kaboodle Doodles - Week 108 Challenge

The challenge this week at Kaboodle Doodles is to create a project that uses shades of purple. Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Pink Gem Designs.
I got to pick an image to work with so I chose Jodi. She's a little cutie so it was pretty easy to color her in shades of purple with my Copics. I used my Art Philsophy Cartridge to make the frame and Sonoma Level 2 paper pack from CTMH. I used my Cuddle Bug to add some interest to the strip in the middle and finished it off with a couple of buttons. All papers were sponged with Cocoa ink. Now head on over and get some inspiration from my fellow DT members.

My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #79 Warm Wishes

The weather is so cold (usually - LOL!) around this time of the year that we should wish our friends warm thoughts and wishes! Challenge #79 is "Warm Wishes." An example would be anything warm....such as fires, warm soup, baking, hot cocoa! Use your imagination! To me, there isn't anything warmer than a nice cup of hot chocolate with yummy whipped cream. Of course, some may say a cup of coffee, a latte or hot toddy! I used this adorable stamp "Thanks a Latte" from Bugaboo Stamps. I colored the images with my Copics and added some Smootch and Liquid Glass to the whipped cream for some dimension. I also outlined the dots and stripe with my clear star Gellyroll pen. Papers are new from CTMH (Stella) and I used some of the new baker's twine. I sponged all paper with Cocoa Ink. Hope you enjoy. So jump on over to My Sheri Crafts Challenge Blog to check out what the Design Team has created and submit your project. You could be our next guest designer! The DT loves to give love to all our participants, so please help us by turning off word verification.

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #73

The challenge this time at Penny' Paper-Crafty is "Anything Goes" and our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps. One lucky random person will win a $10 US Gift Certificate from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps store towards any digital stamps from Stitchy Stamps, Floppy Latte Designs and/or Gingerloft. I used Cattail Pond from Gingerloft. I decided to try something a little different this time and colored my image with watercolor pencils. Then I blended them with a water brush to get a watercolor effect. I used some of the fabulous new CTMH papers from Victory Level 2 paper pack. I sponged all papers with Cocoa Ink. I also added 3 Durable Studs from CTMH (self adhesive).

No head on over to get some inspiration from my fellow DT members and make sure to give them some "love" while you're there. Happy crafting!!

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog (CCCB)

Yippie skippy am I excited! I was chosen to be on a brand new design team at CCCB which means I get to play with some more fun images and get to meet some more fabulous crafters. I'm on Team B so my projects will be posted on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. The sponsor for this month is A Day for Daisies and one lucky person will win a $12 gift certificate to spend in the store. I just love their whimsical images. The challenge is to use pink, red and purple in your project. Yep, that's right all three colors. Now if you are a red hatter like me, that won't be a problem. We already know how to rock those colors!

I used Tiny Pixie Daisy and colored her with my Copics. I used my Art Philosphy Cartridge and cut out a frame which I popped up with some foam dots. All papers are sponged with Cocoa Ink. I used some of the new CTMH Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon which I colored with my Copics to match perfectly! I added some buttons for a little pop and called it good.

So hop on over and see what my fellow DT members have cooked up. Plus you might want to take a peek at The Crafter’s Café site. On February 10th we are having a blog hop and on Saturday, February 11th, we're having an all day party ending with an online project that we'll be making together that evening! You don't want to miss this!

My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #78 Love is in the Air

Challenge #78 is "Love is in the Air." We would love for you to create a project with at least two hearts in honor of Valetine's Day and Heart Month. My card this time is one of my all time favorites to make and so easy. Click here for a tutorial from Splitcoaststampers. All products are CTMH (except the strip of bling on the front). The cardstock and B&T paper are from Roxy Level 2 paper pack. Once again I used my Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut out the frame and the hearts (page 37 and 63). I sponged all paper with Cocoa Ink. The sentiment is from the February Stamp of the Month "Thoughtful Tidings"

and stamped in Archival Black. I love using Archival Black because it gives such a rich black color to your cards. The flower is from the new CTMH Idea Book as well. Hope you enjoy.
