birthday challenge at cheerful stamp pad continues...

it is week two for the birthday card challenge at the cheerful stamp pad. you can never have enough birthday cards on deck and you have one more week to join this challenge for a chance to win shopping credit with our sponsor stitchy bear digital outlet.  this week i chose a digital image from stitchy bear called "gran's garden" and i've also added a birthday sentiment digital image from clear dollar stamps.

starting with a digital background from the primavera series by itKuPiLLi, i've once again this week created a 100% digital creation.  i arranged my images and did all the coloring in photoshop.  the sun in the corner is not a stamp -- just a digitally hand-drawn image.  should i decide to give this card i'll only need to print it and adhere it to cardstock.

i hope you'll link up a birthday creation of your own.  there is also a birthday challenge at the squirrel and the fox blog so i am linking to that as well.

wishing you a wonderful week.
love to all.

birthday card challenge

a birthday card challenge is always timely -- good to have plenty of them made and ready.  so it is a welcome challenge at the cheerful stamp pad. for the next two weeks you can link up a birthday card for a chance to win shopping credit with our sponsor stitchy bear digital outlet.  our design team is once again working with images by stitchy bear and i've used two digital images this week, a birthday cake and a "boo boo bear."

i digitally arranged the bear and cake on a digital background by itKuPiLLi -- the primavera series.  the "for you" sentiment is a digital image i added from clear dollar stamps.  this creation is 100% digital -- i did the coloring in photoshop and at present this card only exists in my computer!  but when the moment comes i'll be able to print it, adhere it to cardstock and i'll be ready to go!

feel free to link up a birthday creation -- you have two weeks!
love to all.

more happy birthday at the cheerful stamp pad!

it is week two for the "happy birthday" challenge at the cheerful stamp pad.  the challenge sponsor is clear dollar stamps.

enjoy and a special shout out to my fellow february birthday peeps!
love to all.

happy birthday challenge at the cheerful stamp pad!

the new two-week challenge at cheerful stamp pad is to make a birthday card.  the prize for the randomly selected winner will come from clear dollar stamps.

the digi in use here comes from a clear dollar stamps digi sentiments set called "patchwork."  which inspired me to use the "patchwork" technique from the technique junkies newsletter.

since we always need birthday cards this is a very useful challenge.  please join in.
love to all...
