Lacy Sunshine Add Flowers

I'm cutting it so close to the end of the Lacy Sunshine Add Flowers Challenge that I'm gonna have to come back and fill in the gaps.  Phew!  Just made it with 3 minutes to spare.  I was thrilled to find out that as a member of the Creative Artist Team for Lacy Sunshine, posting once a month on the Lacy Sunshine Blog(where you find out what's New and Now in the Lacy Sunshine world), I'm still eligible to enter the challenges on the Challenge Blog and contests on the FB Group because I love playing there.  This card is doing double duty.  The current FB Contest is to use any of the Bubbles stamps so I'm entering this there, as well.  My plan was to make this look like a fluffy white towel on a towel bar using some cool textured paper from Sizzix.  I hand cut the towel shape and used my Spellbinders to cut the hole for Bubbles to peek through.  the sentiment was hand stamped with individual letters from an ancient set which took me FOREVER to get straight.  Why I didn't use my computer to generate it, I'll never know.  Guess I thought "practice makes perfect" but sheesh!

 

The adorable image is Bubbles Bath available in the Sticky Wings Section of the Shop.  She's colored with Copics and I've added some fun holographic bubbles and Stickles to the suds.  The additional daffodils are rubber stamps from Heartfelt Creations, cut with the corresponding dies by Spellbinders.

 

The center step design worked well for my plan and here you can see a bit of the dimension as several portions of Bubbles' daffodil bathtub and towel were fussy cut and popped on the image.  I tried to curl the "towel" to look like it was hanging on the (coffee stir stick) towel bar as well.  The whole thing actually turned out better than I expected.  Woohoo!

 

I'm also adding this to the Digi Galore Flowers Challenge, the Outlawz Friday Alcohol Markers Keep Calm and... Challenge, Pattie's Creations Fancy Folds, Aud Sentiments Sentiment for a Friend, Oddball Art Stamps use a Digi, Fitztown Challenge Fancy Folds, TTRCD ATG April 8-14 and Stamp and Create Spring Flowers. 

Dilly Beans Glitter Challenge

Another Friday, another Dilly Beans Challenge. WooHoo! This week we want GLITTER!  Megan has some adorable new images in the SHOP and I just had to use my FAVE, #554 Penny's Heart.  Her hair was a bit of an experiment I'm not exactly sure of.  I wanted to give it some texture so I did the "dotted" technique with Copics but I didn't like it all that well so I got the bright idea to use Stickles over it.  The challenge is GLITTER, after all.  Well, You be the judge, I'm not feelin' it, but it was too late to start over and I still think you can see how absolutely ADORABLE Penny is.  Glittery DP is from the DCWV Sweet Stack. Even added a glitter mat.  Thought the sentiment was perfect.  I often close my eyes and make a wish.  If you can see it in your head it's more likely to come true, don'tcha think?  Take a look at my teamie's glittery goodness HERE and come Sprinkle some of your own.

I'm also entering this in the DL Art March Linky Party, Aud Sentiments Girl Power, Link Up for Pink Challenge 11, and The Paper Crafting Journey Ribbon or Lace Challenge.

(Warning!) A Kinda Naughty Valentine

Okay, I'm warning you again that this may not be appropriate for all viewers so you might as well stop here if NC 17 is beyond your rating preference.  I think it's pretty cute though, and I'm hoping my man does too.  (Pretty dang sure he will) LOL  Naturally I've waited 'til the last day to enter Sparkle and Glitter Challenge with Rick St. Dennis but I wasn't quite sure what images to use until I bought some Junkyard Findings from Prima (you'll be seeing those later).  The challenge is Hearts and Hugs and I've colored up the cute Robotics 2//Out of this World and Robotics 101.  A match made in heaven, don'tcha think?  They're colored with Copics, fussy cut and he's popped and she's on an Action Wobble.  Tried hard to gt a pic of her shakin' her booty but it just didn't work out.  The hearts are Spellbinders.

This ended up being one fat card.  Here you can see a bit of the dimension.  She's been flipped to face him and her sentiment is computer generated.  Now the nex pic involves what he's hiding under his Valentine so you might wish to stop here or send the kiddiess out of the room, unless you feel like having "THAT" discussion right here and now. 

 

Umm...what can I say?  The devil made me do it.  HeeHee!  This lightbulb was one of those Junkyard Findings.  I just couldn't resist.  The sentiment is a new one at ADFD.  Thought it was pretty perfect.

 

Both inside and out the embossing is from the Cricut Companion Robotz folders.  The sentiment (an understatement) again computer generated with some XOX stickers from Stidio 112.  Besides the Sparkle and Glitter Challenge, I'd also like to enter this in the AUD Sentiments Show us Your Inner Sentiments Challenge (bummer I missed the "adult themed" one, HA!), the Art Impressions Stamps Show Me the Love (hearts required) Challenge, Moving Along with the Times Love is in the Air Challenge, and the brand new Sincerely Yours Creations Valentine/Love Challenge.

Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine's Day filled with all the love (and chocolate) you can handle. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hey Sweetie, Wanna?

Dilly Beans TAGS!

TGIF!!!!  Couldn't have come sooner.  LOL  We're playing TAG at the Dilly Beans Challenge blog this week and I guess I'm still in a patriotic frame of mind.  I've used one of Megan's newest images, #427 Happy Birthday Framed (check the rest of them out HERE) and changed the coloring of the sentiment with my Printmaster Pro Program and then copied and pasted the "happys" to make the background paper as well.  Fun, fun!  Great for a July birthday, or just celebrating the 4th, don'tcha think?  She's colored with Copics and I've added tiny adhesive stars to her dress and a metallic one to her party hat.  The star behind her is a Nestie.  I've been hoarding that red, white and blue ribbon for the perfect project and this was it!  I kinda love how this turned out.  Tags are soo much fun to make.  For more inspiration visit the Challenge Blog.  Hope you join us this week.

I'm also adding this to CCEE Stampers Tags Challenge, Cute Card Thursday Patriotic Challenge, Moving Along with the Times Birthday Challenge, Shelly's Images Stars Stripes and Sparkle (the tiny stars on her dress are sparkly),and the AUD Sentiments Bingo Challenge (I've used "Happy", Ribbon, Die Cut).
