welcome new baby!

challenge #93 at the cheerful stamp pad is "new baby" and we are again gratefully sponsored by stitchy bear stamps.  our DT was given digital images to use from the "baby boy" and "baby girl" packs.  i focused on images from the baby boy pack and also used background papers from itkupilli for my digital creation.

the sentiment is by TLC creations.
you have two weeks to enter a baby-themed creation for a chance at winning digital stamps from stitthy bear.

fruits and veggies #2

hello and welcome to week two at the cheerful stamp pad's fruits and veggies challenge theme with challenge sponsor stitchy bear.  this week i made my DT creation with a digital image from scrappers delight -- fruity baby-citrus.

i colored this cute fruity baby with pencils and set her up with background papers and a sentiment by TLC creations and some summery tissue tape.  this one really makes me think of summer and i am very ready for it!

a randomly selected participant in the challenge will get some digital images from stitchy ear so i hope you will play along -- make any new creation with fruits or vegetables as the main theme.

love to all.

fruits and veggies

a favorite thing about summertime for me is the abundance of fruits and vegetables that are available.  for the next two weeks fruits and veggies are our theme at the cheerful stamp pad.  you can make any new creation with fruits or vegetables as your main theme.  our challenge sponsor is stitchy bear digital images.  our DT is using images from "scrapper's delight" which stitchy bear has graciously provided for us.

i colored the fruity babies-raspberry digital image with colored pencils and then set her up with some pretty background papers, borders and a sentiment from TLC.  my little fruity baby is picking fruit and chilling out, on a happy summer afternoon.

i hope you'll join our challenge for a chance at some goodies from our sponsor!
have a wonderful week, love to all.

bunny flowers

for week two of the "add a flower" challenge at cheerful stamp pad i've made another card featuring a cute digital image from our challenge sponsor bugaboo stamps.

i printed the bunny and chicks digi on the butterfly patterned paper by TLC creations and colored the bunny with colored pencils.  i overlaid the butterfly paper on some flowered DP and layered another patterned paper as well.  finally i added some 3D lacy flowered stickers.

one more week to play along for a chance at a prize from our sponsor.
enjoy; love to all.

add some flowers

cheerful stamp pad challenge #83 is "add some flowers."  we are inviting you to add flowers to your creation in some way -- the central image should be something other than a flower and then you add some flowers, got it?  for my DT card i used a hummingbird digital image from our challenge sponsor bugaboo stamps.  and then i added some flowers!

i printed the hummingbird on some background paper from TLC creations then added my flowers, brads, a butterfly die-cut and washi tape.

a randomly selected participant will get some shopping credit at bugaboo!  two weeks to play...

enjoy; love to all.

2 more magnets

hello friends.  i promised the two other magnets i sent in for the gingersnap creations magnet swap and here they are.  the theme was small sized magnets including encouraging words.

this first image was a free download from magic moonlight free images.  she is one awesome and interesting harpist! the background design paper (the dragonflies) is from TLC creations.  then lots of goodies from the stash. 

the second ATC sized magnet features a vintage image from twisted papers.  along with lots of other goodies of course.  both magnets include a stamped heart.

i'm told that all the magnets for the swap have now been mailed out so soon ill be sharing what i get in the mail.  i feel like a kid waiting to get a birthday card!

take good care everyone.  love to all.

circles challenge at the cheerful stamp pad

after a little vacation hiatus Vicki has another challenge going at the cheerful stamp pad and it is all about circles.  our challenge sponsor is TLC Creations.  TLC has a great challenge blog and some fabulous digital goodies at their TLC store.  i visited the store and had a fun time shopping around.  here's my DT creation:

apart from the butterfly from k & company this is a fully digitally created treat, something i've not really done before.  i used her garden sheet background papers and working in photoshop i moved several flower circles from the summer sherbert set onto the garden background.  i had fun placing the circles in a way to get the design most pleasing to me.  i printed it out on glossy paper, did some fancy cutting and then adhered it to some lovely card stock by the the paper temptress. 

i hope you like!  circles are fun to work with and there are so many things you can do with them.  i'll be posting some more circle creations in the coming days.  meanwhile why don't you hop on over to the cheerful stamp pad and play along?

love to all.
