Washi Tape - use it up!!

Hello again!  The current challenge at ClearItOutChallenge is in full gear!  When I heard the theme was "international" I was slightly stumped!  The big holiday here in the states was a few weeks ago so I decided to find images that represented a different country!  The image for this card is from QKRStampede and is called Boomerang Koala.  My parents spent a little bit of time living there and who doesn't love a cute cuddly soft koala bear?!  

The theme as I said is INTERNATIONAL and the stash item is WASHI TAPE.

I know you all have at least "one" roll laying around!  Give it a try it's super easy to use!  The tape I used is from Doodlebug Designs (grey dot), the orange dot is an unknown brand.  To color "Cody" (that's the name my 6 year old daughter gave him) I used Tombo Art markers.  Thanks for checking us out and give us a try!  This is a 3 week challenge so get crafting!  You have a couple weeks left to get in on the action!

Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

Washi Tape!

Hello again, crafty peeps!  The next challenge at ClearItOutChallenge is posted!!  When it was posted as "international" I was slightly stumped!  It would be posted after the big holiday here in the states, so after going to the sponsor's websites I decided to try a different country than my own!  The image for this card is from DigiDarla and is called My Fair Lady.  Since this is one of my all time favorite movies I knew she was for me!  

The theme as I said is INTERNATIONAL and the stash item is WASHI TAPE.

I know you all have at least "one" roll laying around!  Give it a try it's super easy to use!  The tape I used is from Doodlebug Designs (Bubblegum and Swimming Pool) the flower print is an unknown brand.  To color "Eliza" I used Tombo Art markers.  Thanks for checking us out and give us a try!  This is a 3 week challenge so get crafting!  Don't forget to come back next week for another sample!!

Thanks to our sponsors for this challenge!!

Stash: scrap paper

supplies:  Digital stamp from DigiDarla -- it's called Blowing Dandelions, paper for hat, dress and log from scraps.  Background papers are from Echo Park This and That Graceful, liquid pearls on dress ribbon, Tombo art markers used to color remaining image.  Thanks for checking out my card and commenting.  Please also check out ClearItOutChalleng's blog for more info on challenges!

Father's Day Card

Father's Day Card I just made to post to a newly found blog....http://clearitoutchallenge.blogspot.ca/ for their latest challenge.  Card needed to be masculine and have metal.  I've got both of those! :o)  So here goes nothing!

Image is from Bugaboostamps.com.  When I saw the challenge posted, I went to their website.  Cute digital images!!  Thanks for the looks!

Some recent cards....

Since my favorite online store, CropChocolate.com, has closed and the design team was released, I haven't had a reason to post.  But going through some of the cards I've recently made, I think they are pretty good and could use some viewing! :o)
