Enjoy the Little Things

Another image from Marjies Malarkies and another word art from TLC. The sentiment is "Enjoy the little things for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things" That says a lot...don't you think?


Challenges:
Creative Belli Blog: Use eyelets
Color Throwdown: Not Quite Navy, Old Olive, Ruby Red, Ivory
Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge: sketch
I took Jean's advice and entered this is the Just Scraps Challenge "About a Boy" I'm not sure it exactly fits the challenge requirements!

Be Cheered

This is my first time using word art. I found a lot of very cool word art at Create with TLC including this little sentiment that says "No one can be Uncheered with a Balloon" Isn't that SO true? I thought it went perfectly with this little image from Marjie's Malarkies.

I used the sketch from the Treehouse challenge and the Copic Colors from the Copic Colour Challenge which was to use Y21, B93 and BG15. I used the Y21 on her hair, the B93 on her dress and socks and the BG15 on the balloon.

One Stitch Birthday Bear

I recently found the 365 cards challenge blog. They celebrated their first birthday yesterday so when I played along with their color challenge, it just felt like I had to make it a birthday card. The colors for yesterday's challenge are: aqua, chocolate, white, red and brown. I also played along with One Stitch at a Time which has a sketch challenge this week sponsored by Karen's Doodles and if you use a KD image (which I did), you get your name entered twice for the prize drawing.

Happy Birthday Scarlette

I absolutely LOVE Bugaboo stamps. This is the newest addition. Her name is Scarlette and you can pick her up for free here. I used the sketch from this week's CPS challenge and it seemed to me to fit perfectly with a long card. I'm also entering this at the Copic Creations challenge which is to use your greens.

Springtime

Yes, I'm optimistic (some may say delusional) but I like to think that spring is right around the corner and this little bear with an umbrella is just perfect for spring...he looks pretty happy..like the rest of us will be when this winter is finally over!
I played along with a new (to me) challenge this week which is right up my alley. It's called Just Cute Bears. I think you can figure out from the name what the focus of the challenges is!

Challenges:
Mojo Monday: Sketch
Cupcake Craft Challenge: Circles
Daisy Doodles: bears (image is a Daisy Doodles digi)
