Beatrix Potter Bunny Birthday

Have you seen the new color challenge that's started up recently?  Color Hues is in the midst of their very first challenge and I think this challenge is going to become a fast favorite for many crafter's.  

I couldn't resist adding another card to their delightful challenge.  My first entry was with this card here.  The colors of the challenge, green and yellow are just too wonderful to not make a second card. (You can link up to three separate projects.)

I used this darling Beatrix Potter bunny from Stampin' Up, Fabled Friends and paired it with flowers from PTI's Forget Me Not, stamped in of course, yellow and green.

I hope you're inspired to visit their blog and join in on the fun!

Gnome-y Warm Thoughts ~ TSOC ~ Autumn

Happy Fall' Yall!  The Sisterhood of Crafters is starting a new challenge and the theme is "Autumn".  

I've had these darling Gnome images, "You Gnome Me" from My Favorite Things sitting in my coloring pile for a really long time and finally decided it was time to color them up.  Sadly they're discontinued by I think Gnomes will always be popular.

I also remembered that I had this cute little Nut House from Pink & Main that seemed to be the perfect home for these little gnomes on a slimline card.

A bit of ink blending in the background and some die cut grass  brings this whole card together perfectly.  Wouldn't you love to live there or at least come across these little fellas in your garden? 

I would!  

I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Monday Challenge ~ Use your favorite stamp

Time Out challenge ~ Season with optional twist of coloring

Now it's YOUR turn to play along.  You can find all the details at The Sisterhood of Crafters or by clicking here.  We look forward to seeing what you create!

Layered Edges Green & Yellow for Color Hues

Do you enjoy joining in on challenges?  I do! Color Hues is a brand new challenge and one that will definitely become a fast favorite, I think.

For my card I did a double layered edge using Impression Obsession Square Cutout Border and Penny Black Border Edgers.

  

The flowers are stamped using PTI's Gran's Garden.  I haven't used this set in such a long time.  I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it!

Here is the inspiration photo from Color Hues to get you started.  I hope you'll visit this new challenge site, give them some love and join in on the fun!

Llama Hugs ~ Double D Challenge ~ Colorful

Good morning stamping friends.  There's a new challenge starting today over at Double D Challenge.  The theme is "Colorful", so get out your favorite coloring medium and let's go!

 If you know me at all, you know I love to work with dies.  A while back, I won a gift certificate  to Taylored Expressions from the Cut It Up Challenge.  I had fun shopping and had a hard time paring my cart down to something more affordable.  In the end, I landed on this darling No Drama LLama die set.  Oh my is he ever cute!!

These succulent images were from leftover from the 12 Kits of Occasion.

I made a slimline card using Pink Fresh Studio Slim Stitched Rectangles, did some ink blending and lined up all those cacti, tucking the llama in for height interest.  The die cut sentiment is covered in Wink Of Stella.  

I hope you'll join in on the fun by clicking here

Dies R Us ~ Back To School

Hello stamplings ~  There's a new challenge starting up today over at the Dies R Us Challenge blog and the theme is "Back to School".

My card is quick and CAS:

I pulled out an oldie but goodie die from Frantic Stamper, the Crayon.  I cut it 5 times out of white card stock and colored the last one using blendable crayons from Ranger.
Did I say this was quick and CAS?

You can find all the details of the challenge and join in on the fun by clicking here.  You could be the next winner of a DRU Gift Certificate!

I wanted to remind you that we have some exciting news to share with you.  Dies R Us now has opened a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts.  

It will ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!  We'd love for you to visit by clicking on the links above or by clicking here.
