What an adorable image to use for this great pre-Valentine's Day RED & PINK Challenge at my favorite Site- Squigglefly!! The image is from Cheryl Alger's great collection and is called A Big Heart. I just love coloring her designs!
I tried something new this time--striping the shirt instead of making it solid-I really like the effect. Mounted it on pink paper and then onto the bed of red roses paper. Because he was tall and narrow when I got done, I decided to create a little interest by narrowing the front flap of the card so that the "love sayings" paper would show through to the front. It's by MMBI called Love greetings and could be used for so many card ideas. I stamped HVD on a pink insert with enough room for a siggy and a personal thought. I hope all of you are sharing your love thoughts with those that you care about! Thanks for looking!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
I love this image from Cheryl Alger called "Come Here Often" and can be found at the Squigglefly Shop along with many other great designs.
This week's challenge at Squigglefly asked us to make a Masculine card and I'm always needing Thank You cards so this was a perfect chance. I colored the image with Copics, found some vintage like paper, and added the goodies! I especially like to use BUTTONS and found the perfect one with swirls!
The first Saturday in each month you will find on Squigglefly new images and Artists launching their creations for very reasonable prices. Come join us and take a peak! They're so amazing!
I'd like to enter it in this challenge:
Show me Thursday Challenge-What did you make this Week?
I would imagine that there will be many kids during the summer, when they are out of school, with all the time in the world on their hands, that will just lay back in a field of grass and just stare up at the clouds in the sky and be glad for some lazy days ahead. So when I saw that the challenge at Sassy Cheryls Challenge blog was Here Comes Summer, I thought of this great image that I had of Cheryl's called A Penny for Your Thoughts.
I used some great cloud paper stitched to a blue mat, colored the digital image with copics, fancy cut the image and then used some card stock stickers and border from a summer set. Think this is a great "Thinking of You" card heading off to a dear friend.
Be sure to check out all of her weekly challenges-she has great themes and you could win the prize of 2 digital images for your library! See you there!
How Frustrating to be all ready to compose the final elements of your card....and then, You Run Out of ALLLL your adhesive!! YIKES! I don't think that's ever happened to me before. I mean I was digging everywhere to even find a partial roll--my big adhesive gun was even giving me fits. The cartridges were not wanting to work properly. Today I got armed to the hilt with my stash and am ready to rock and roll with my card for the Challenge #170 on Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog and DT team entry.
I've been wanting to use this digital image of Cheryl Algers' for a long time-It's called "Be Prepared" and I got it from Squiggle Fly because Sassy Cheryl is a featured Artist on their blogsite. I fancy cut him because I wanted to see the neat embossed tree dp through his body. The tree to his left is from a textured woodgrain paper that I added some green Flower Soft to create some leafy branches. The river rock he's standing on is again some theme paper from my stash. I flat mounted his feet to the rock paper but I used foam dots on the upper part to give him a little dimension. I think I had the Most fun on this card with the little pup tent that I created out of 2 corners on some speckled brown paper. Think I'd originally bought it to use for "pigskin" around football season but thought it's perfect for this!! Made a pole out of kraft paper, slit the front triangle and then curled back the front flaps. It looks just like the tent we used to put up in the summer in our back yard when we were growing up~brings back fond memories! The inside of the Birthday card has Camping theme paper background and a kraft top note die cut for personalizing it.
I hope I was able to give others some neat ideas and pass on some tips. Wish me luck with the DT call and cross everything that you can!
Thanks for looking, Carolyn
I think the World and the Moon and Stars are all in alignment today on my Blog BECAUSE...I LOVE the color Pink (as my Granddaughter will tell you), I LOVE Cheryl Alger Digi's AND, I LOVE the fact that this amazing artist is looking for some Sassy Gals to join her Design Team! I think I've hit the Trifecta! At Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog, you can win 2 images of your choice if you just get out your CA digis, and every shade of pink that you can find for coloring and start creating! The more the merrier~
The image I'm using is one of Cheryl's older digis but I just love her floppy hat! There are some great changes going on over on her Blog where she is creating some new characters, Max & Maddie, as well as offering her designs in Rubber! I accented this 6 x 6 card with my fav embellishments, buttons, flowers, and frilly stuff! I hope you like it and come back soon and sit a spell!

The neatest thing about the Squigglefly Shop is that one of their featured artists is Cheryl Alger. Friends that visit my blog know I Love her images! So when Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog had their current challenge posted, I RAN to my Squigglefly digis and pulled out Signs of Spring. I decided to make the Stitching or faux stitching for her challenge be the path of the ladybug! And then I decided that I could make her blowing air OR whistling to the ladybug. I like the bright Spring colors and the embossed green cardstock mixed in with the bright pink mats! If you look close, the cs has little imprinted daisies on it~
Check out her challenge cause you could win 2 of her wonderful digis FREE!
I love creating card designs for Squigglefly and just ONE of my favorite artists of the many that they have is Cheryl Alger. Her designs just put a smile on my face every time.
What with Memorial Day coming up soon, I thought this image called True Friendship lended itself to the colors Red, White, and Blue perfectly. The deep red background has the words Liberty, Independence, Freedom on it. I used some Paper Lace and star ribbon to finish it off as well as a beautiful crocheted flower from my dear friend Linda.
This card will be exactly what I need for those July Birthdays!
