A Clean and Simple "Hi"

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Welcome back for another Whimsical Wednesday.

 

 This week's challenge...

Clean and Simple

 

Here is my Design Team project...

This was a challenge for me since I do not typically use digis nor am I simple by design crafter (I love layering and embellishments too much!), but this teddy with mushroom was too adorable to pass up the opportunity to try.

 So...is this clean and simple? I sure hope!

This Whimsical Designs stamp fits perfectly with the butterfly smelling the flower. The ink is the same color as the mushroom spots.

Materials:

pattern paper from scrap box

white and turquoise card stock

Crafty Sentiments digi ~ Henry with Mushroom

Zigs markers
Whimsical Designs stamps ~ Whimsical Fun set

turquoise ribbon

turquoise gems

Enjoy the Journey

Good Morning,

Welcome back for another challenge at Made Especially for You. I hope you enjoyed your Easter Sunday. Ours was relaxing. My daughter was very excited to see Bubba Watson win the Masters. What a great moment, especially after that hit thru the trees onto the green. He truly is a fabulous golf palyer. Not only that...today is her birthday. Yeah! I will posting her card later today, but now onto the challenge.

The "Be Mine" Bear

Welcome back for another challenge at Made Especially for You. This week we were required to use the provided sketch and a digi (which I am STILL not very good at, but I continue to try!)

I have to share that this was not the first card I created for the sketch. I made another one, then realized I had to use the sponsor's digi. I am including it, so you can see how versatile this sketch can be. I am also hoping it will encourage you to enter our challenge. The submissions have been low and I would love to see more participation.

My Mind's Eye paper ~ Lost & Found stack
