All week I've wanted to play along at Catch the bug.  I don't  usually miss a week... so tonight I really had to get going lol. I had already printed some images so that made it easier to make a quick card before going to eat sushi with my hubby!  And celebrate the fact that it's a long weekend in Canada in celebration of Canada Day on July 1st!!!  YAY!!!  More crafting and preparation for the upcoming vacation planned for the weekend.  This includes finishing off the DT work that I need to do for the weeks I'm gone. The red paper comes from Lime twist my minds eye, the other paper is from my scap pile ;)  So nice to be able to reuse some of the wonderful paper.  I have added some balloons from Jolee's Boutique and the buttons come from a pack purchased at Walmart.  I colored Stella with my copics and added some glaze on the balloon and her glasses.  Here's a better look at them: I followed the sketch from Stella says sketch: I'm entering th

Tonight I really wanted to play at the Kraftin Kimmie challenge! I missed I think the last 2... and I had not missed them in quite a long time... never won... but one day I will lol but most of all I play because they allow me to use my wonderful stamps! I realized today while typing out my post that I had not stamped in awhile... The stamp that I wanted to use was just perfect for this! I had purchased while it was on sale (because of the move) the really cute little summer boy! The perfect little summer stamp. I purchased him because it really reminded me of my boys and I thought I could include him in one of my scrapbook pages... well... it takes me awhile to scrapbook... so couldn't do that for tonight... but I had discovered today a great sketch as well. So I had everything to make this card ;))) I used the paper from my Basic grey Lauderdale 6x6 paper pad ( I realized this weekend that I was neglecting this perfect paper for cards!!!)  I also used some left over paper

Today I'm posting a girly girl card.  One of those card that's just done for the fun of it.   I wanted to play at a day for daisies challenge .  I found this beautiful digi that's a freebie for June!  How cool is that?!?  Here's my card made with it: The digi is called Helping the flowers.  I colored her up with my copics and added stickles in lime green to her delicate wings.  I used some papers that I had in my cutout stash... I thought it was bright and summery colors.  I added a little ribbon that I got on sale at Scrapbook central.  I used embossing with a cuttlebug folder on the die cut done with my spellbinder (since I'm writting this from work during lunch time... I don't have the proper name of the die... I think it's label 20).  I added a sentiment from Purple Onions .  Great stamps that I bought a while back... and forgot about... sooo bad... I haven't been using my stamps as much as I used too!  Just been doing digis...   Got to ink th

Today at  Jacksons digital expressions  at our anything goes challenge, the twist is a wonderful sketch.  Here's the sketch: Now I don't know about you guys... but I just love getting the inspiration from a sketch.  There's so many wonderful possibilities... but it gives you a starting point.  Some fellow DT turned it around (check out their wonderful creations! ). Here's my take on this sketch: Now for those of you who follow my blog you know that I have 3 dogs (Chanel (a little miniature black poodle), Lucky (a brown Cockapoo) and Charlie (my cocker spaniel, black and tan)).  So yes... I loooove dogs.  When I saw this fantastic image called Puppy Love from Robert Jackson I just could help myself.  I just had to create something with him!!!!  The paws, love my dog and little can of dog food are stickers I had in my stash for Scrapbooking.  The orange paper is from Creative Memories it's was a scrap from my Disney album.  The brown paper and the ribbon c
