This is a sad post!!!  It's my last post (at least for now) on the Scribbles Design Team .  I have had so much fun in that team.  Such wonderful ladies in it and of course Sandy the wonderful artist!!! For this last post which is the midway point of the challenge How does your garden grow, I decided to use the wonderful   A68 Smile sparkle and shine .  I think it really represents this team and the challenge :) This image was made into a postcard.  I'm sure that it will brighten someone's day.  I used my coloring pencils for this as well as my gel pens. I hope you are staying creative and please come back since there will be one more post coming up!!! Hugs

It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles Designs Challenge  and this time it's about how your garden grows. I decided to color one of the fabulous image that Sandy made.  I used a lot of my different coloring pencils as well as some gel pens.  I made a postcard out of this and it was well liked :) You can find this digi here . It's really intricate but I totally loved doing this.  Hope you will go and check the digis out they are fabulous. Have a wonderful day!!! Hugs

Hey everyone! Let me start by wishing all my fellow Canadian friends a very happy Canada day!!! Hope you get to enjoy your day doing stuff you adore. In my case I'm sure hoping that there will be a little wine involved :) And that brings me to this post. There's a challenge going on at Scribbles design challenge . And this time it's about sip and Savour. That automatically makes me think of a nice glass of wine. So I decided to use the wonderful image a-07-wine-500 to create a little decoration for my en masse journal where I collected some wine labels!  Yup I'm going nuts about doing all sorts of paper collection.  But in this case it can be useful to remember the wines that we liked! The very intricate image was colored with my coloring pencils.  I attached a big paper clip to the back with some small duck tape.  And VOILÃ embellishment made :) That's it for me for today.  Hope you have a wonderful day. Stay creative Hug

I'm totally OBSESSED with making postcards!  People like to get them and they are a great way to recycle all the cereal boxes that my kids go through!!! So for the midway point of Scribbles Challenge about tools I figured this would be a great opportunity to make a little postcard for my dad. For this make I'm using Tool Belt .  The background of this postcard was started using left over paint through a stencil way back.  I thought it was pretty neat so I didn't want to lose this.  I decided to add just some watered down yellow paint. The image itself was colored with my coloring pencils.  I added some pattern paper and some crossword puzzle paper that was left on my desk.  The sentiment was found online and I thought it was just PERFECT. Well it's a super busy day today... but I still have one more!  So please do come back for it. Hugs

It's already time for the halfway point for the challenge over at  Scribbles Design challenge .  And our challenge for you this time is about finding inspiration from a song.  I'm using the fab digi  Moon Star .  And my song inspiration is quite old it's Moon River. I'm trying to do all sorts of different things for you so that you are entertained when you check out my blog.  So do do that for this make I decided to use my little book of alphabet.  I printed the digi quite large so the moon totally filled out one of my "M" alphabet page.  I covered the lettering of the book with black pan pastel and I colored the moon using my new Tritone coloring crayons.  I love those because they already color my images differently which means you don't have to do real shading.... you just play. I hope this has inspired you to do something different as well. I'm entering this little book page in the following challenges: ...

Hey everyone!!!  It's time for the midway post of the challenge going on over at  Scribbles Designs Challenge  and it doesn't  get much easier than this.... it's using a FREEBIE!!!  And there are so many over at the blog that you don't have ANY excuse not to do this! For my make I used the fab  Envelopes 2 .  I really wanted to make some little cards ready for orders that I have been getting for my Etsy stuff.  I like to do a little personalization and not just put the material in the package!  I made a total set of 6 of those little cards.  They are small and will be perfect for any size package! I'm entering these little cards that are super CAS in the following challenges: Eureka stamps  - CAS - doesn't get much more CAS than this :) Get creative challenges  - Lots of Red  - the die cut is red and the image was lightly colored red as well with my copics for the details.

Well it's time for a brand new challenge over at  Scribbles Designs  and this time around it's a SUPER easy challenge!!!  It's about using a Freebie!!!  And there are so many over at Scribbles that you don't even have to go anywhere to get them!!!! In my case I decided to make some little gifts for my team!!  And I used the great   Flutter heart  digis I put little hershey's kisses in those little bags that I got at the dollar store.

Hi!!!  It's Monday... :( boohooo that means no crafting time for me.... but the good thing is that I had something already prepared for you!  Today is the midway post over at  Scribbles challenge  and it's all about hearts which is totally awesome when you are trying to get organized for Valentine's day. I have been trying to get some little cards made this time around because I'm spending a fortune in stamps lol.  For my make I'm using the super cute    Mr-wool-oon . The background for this card was a premade little card.  I just added a little bit of scrap paper, a little heart sticker and a little sentiment from  Create with TLC .  The image was colored with my copics.  The texture on the wool is some light grey copics. I think this will make a super cute little card for my little niece! I'm entering this little card in the following challenges: Crafty friends challenge blog  - Animals/Birds Di...

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles Designs Challenge .  This time the challenge is about showing some heart!!!!  So I thought this was the PERFECT opportunity to make some little valentine card for my little niece and nephew!!! For the 1st make I'm sharing my little nephew's card.  He totally loves cars and trucks so this was a no brainer I just had to creat with the great  Hearts Truck .  I did it on a smaller card than what I usually use because I wanted to avoid extra cost.  I tend to send big cards and it's costing me a lot in postage... so I will try this year to make them smaller and send some more often instead!!! The paper was some left over that I had from last year.  I added some washi tape and the image was colored with my copics.  The sentiment is from  Create with TLC . I'm entering this in the following challenges: Drs designs blog  - Heart to hearts Fab n funky challenges...
