Seeing Red with Craft Your Passion

Image
Well here it is, my last week as a guest DT for Craft Your Passion .  A big thank you to CYP for having me. It has been a great honor and I have enjoyed every minute of it.  This week, another great challenge for you.  We are SEEING RED!   We would love to see it with your projects as well, so make sure that somewhere on there, it can be in your DP, an embellishment, some coloring in an image, there is some RED! Make sure you stop by the blog for all the details and prize information! Here is my card for this week.  I loved this image from CocoDingo because I've had this Cinco De Mayo paper in my stash forever that I could finally use.  I added a little bit of jupe and a bit of ribbon and that's it for this one.  The stamped sentiment was from an old stamp I found in my stash.  The image was colored with my copics. I just wanted to keep it really simple! I have entered this card into the following challenges: Catered Crop : follow the recipe on the site (I used red, yello

A Handmade Challenge on Sarah Hurley

Image
It's a new challenge at Sarah Hurley this week.  Thanks to all of our participants for last week's summer challenge.  Great job to everyone and the winners are posted on the blog.  This week, Ria has given us the challenge of adding handmade flowers to our projects.  A great challenge to be sure. I have used the DP and image from Sarah's new Oz collection which can be found here .  This collection is adorable!  I printed out the clip art version of Glinda rather than doing my own coloring this time.   I cut her out and added some stickles to her wings for a bit of sparkle.  I made my flowers using ribbon rather than paper for this challenge.  I really liked how they turned out and I just added a little pearl to the centre of each one.  I used my new MS punch that I picked up yesterday to add a bit of border to my card.  The sentiment came as part of a swap.  Enjoy and I look forward to seeing your projects this week. I've entered into the following challenges:

I have been asked to be the guest designer for June at CRAFT YOUR PASSION!.  I want to thank them for this great opportunity and I am very excited to be joining them this month. So today is the first Monday of the month and that means that it is an anything goes challenge!   Who doesn't love those!  Create what you want and show it off.  All of the challenge details including prizes can be found here .   So for my first challenge with CYP, I am using a great image from Lauretta.  If you remember about a year or so back, I created a card with the saying 'a true friend tells you about the toilet paper stuck to your shoe'.  I really love this saying and I totally know that my BFF would not only tell me, she would probably try and pick it up herself..LOL  When I saw this image, that saying was the first thing that popped into my mind to put with it. I used some scraps of the Bo Bunny Gabrielle that I had left over from a layout that I did for Scrapbook Your Heart.  I i
