Bird Notes

Hey, everyone!

The theme for this week's challenge is masculine! I don't do a lot of masculine cards for some reason but I do enjoy making CAS cards. CAS cards, for those that may not know, are Clean And Simple cards. When I think of masculine cards, I tend to think of clean lines, not much detail and nothing froo-froo. So I chose this bird and sentiment from Bird Notes by Treehouse Stamps. I think of nature when I think of masculine themes, so I simply colored the image and here is what I came up with:
The faux rhinestones are as "over-the-top" as it gets for this card. I had to add a little shimmer! You can purchase this digital stamp set and others by clicking here and play along with the challenges here.

Thanks for checking it out!

Cupcake Contest!

Hey, everyone!

You may have noticed how much I love digital images! They are so fun to play with; so versatile, too. I was looking for free digital stamps/images when I saw THIS POST. Of course I wanted the free cupcake image! I loved it! Then I read about the contest and thought, why not? So here is my entry:
I made this card for my mother-in-law's birthday. I colored 4 cupcakes that I had printed and then asked some coworkers to pick which one they liked the best. I didn't tell them which one was my favorite but we all agreed that this is the cupcake that we liked the most. I put this card together and submitted it. It was hard waiting until May 1 to see if I had won. It was even harder to wait without Internet service until May 5! So guess, what? They liked my card enough to give me a Guest Design Team Spot win, too! Check it out HERE. Oh I am so excited!!


The card above is one I sent to my friend Christina. I knew she would love the purple cupcake wrapper and these bold colors are SO HER! It is shimmery!! I hope you like the cards and thank you for sharing in the excitement about my new win! Stay tuned for more cards using their free stamps!

Angel Hugs,
