Nature time.....

Hi, I am back once again with my creation for Through the Purple Haze Challenge "Use Something from Nature".

I think my digi is just too cute, so I decided to put her in the outdoors just lickin' away on her ice cream. LOL

If you're here for your first visit, just browse around and have a look and I hope you like what you see and come back often to visit.  If you a regular, welcome back!!  Okay, lets get on with the card.....

I decided I wanted a little different style, so I did a multiple fold card.  So after, that decision was made I colored my image from Time 4 Tea Designs, Ice Cream Girl, with my Copic Markers.

The cardstock is from Recollections and the patterned paper is from Green Stack, Outdoors.

I added a few daisies from Martha Stewart, Dimensional Stickers

A little bee from Jolie's Boutique.

I punched out a butterfly with my Stampin' Up punches.

Time 4 Tea Designs is an awesome sponsor and you really must check out their store...

Good news and.......

Hi my friends, I have some great news and some sad news ... GREAT NEWS is Mimi,  our awesome Blog Owner,  is going back to college.. so happy for her. 

 So for that reason, Challenges 4 Everybody will be taking a rest for a while until perhaps January and we may at that time start up again.  I am certainly going to miss our challenges here, we have had an awesome design team and Mimi is the greatest, a real sweetheart.  So as said, this is our last challenge and here is my final card.

The theme for our challenge this month is .....

 Challenges4Everybody

You  have to make a card surrounding the theme of our blog, so you would have to use our blog colors, text styles, clouds, branches and ladybugs.  Oh, please, don't forget the LADYBUGS!

So here is what I used to make my "Blog" card.

Cardstock was from my stash.

The flower branches and birds are from Jolie's  Boutique.

The ribbon is from my stash.

I printed the sentiment and used Stampin' Up Punches.

I also embossed the matting behind the image with Sizzix embossing folders.

The image is a rubber stamp from the "Magnolia Collection.

I colored the image with my Copic Markers.

I made my ladybug card corners using 3 different size circle punches and just nipped a section to make the wings and a few dots with my black marker... Voila!

So this is a really easy card to make with all your scraps just using the colors needed.

Check your stash for cardstock, flowers, ribbons, branches, and.......

 just don't forget the Ladybug.... it's our favorite and they're good luck!!

So as it brings "Good Luck" get your card entered because our Mimi is giving away Special Badges!!    Yes, she is!!!!!   Just Awesome!!!!

I would like to thank each and everyone of you that joined our challenges.  You have made the blog a huge success, just absolutely awesome with all your creations. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.   Please keep a watch here as when the time comes to start up again you will be the first to know!!!

So until next time
Take Care and God Bless

Ladybug, Oh Where Are You?

Ladybug, ladybug

red with black spots are you,

climbing up that rose

you are in view...

ladybug, ladybug

oh where are you now,

the sun is down,

I don't see you around...

tucked away

inside a rose,

do you lay

sleeping sound?

down a country lane

or on my window pane...

ladybug, ladybug

please come back again.

Hi all, glad you're back to visit.  If you are here for the first time, please feel free to browse around and I hope you enjoy what you see.  Well, I am back this time with my inspiration card for Through the Purple Haze Challenge "Button It Up".  So I did just that, but I found some of the cutest buttons!!!!  So here is my card and I decided to also do the inside for the challenge.  Let's get going!!

So here is what I used: 

Cardstock is Recollections from my stash.

The die is Martha Stewart.

The pink ruffled ribbon is from my stash also, which probably is from Hobby Lobby.

The patterned paper is a Recollections 12"x12" Paper Pad "All Girl".

The three Bling Buttons on the card front is from Close to My Heart "Bling Assortment".

The inside Purse Buttons are from Dress It Up, "Posh Purses".

And last but definitely not least is the image from our generous sponsor, Lacy Sunshine, "Daisy Delight" and that she is, a true delight and just too cute.  I colored her with my Copic Markers.

This store has some of the cutest digis ever!!!!!  Plus there is lots more to see.... even a magazine that's just been added !!.  You really need to go see for yourself.....  And YES you will shop til you drop!!!  LOL

So now it is time for you to get your image or whatever technique you want to use and get it entered into this weeks challenge.  There is going to be an awesome prize...... $20.00 gift certificate for images from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  I can't think of a more awesome prize!!!!  F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C !!!!!
