A Springtime creation for the All Dressed Up CHALLENGE--ATG

Hi there!  It's Carolyn bringing you a Springtime card from the great All Dressed Up Shop!  This card is for the ADU CHALLENGE where you could win some free images from this great company--But you can't WIN unless you enter.  It runs for a month-from the 15th of the month to the 14th of the next month.  Plenty of Time!!

I'm using a recent image called Piggy Back--the image comes with the the featured young lady and the 2 mushrooms at her feet.  I think I went crazy adding in the flowers, grass, and pebbles at her feet, as well as the sky using copic markers.

I double matted her picture, added a pink and white heavy daisy ribbon along the side and softened it with a sheer pink bow.  For a little bling,
I added 3 pink epoxy dots at the top.

I always finish off the insides of my cards so here is a look at that:

There's lots of room to write a personal message.

Thanks for looking-I'd love for you to start following me on my Blog.  I'm on several DTs and hope to inspire you with my creations!

Bugaboo Stamps sponsors us over at Come and Get It where "flowers" is the Theme!

Just looking at this image from Bugaboo Stamps puts a smile on my face!  She's called Kidz Flower Basket and the theme over at Come and Get It Challenge is "Flowers".  I've got a daughter all grown now with blonde hair that has always shared my love of flowers.  And as Daisies are her favorite flower, I colored this beauty like I remember her.  Love all the details on a Bugaboo Digital Image and the images are so clear-makes it easy to color.  Used a very Spring like paper and complimentary assorted flowers on the front panel. One the inside panel I always like to finish it off so used an oversized polka-dot print and a KKS sentiment which is always perfect!  Hope this puts a smile on YOUR face too!

Pin Wheel Monster is the star of the Show at 2 CuteInk !

 There is a great feature that's unique to 2 CuteInk and it's that Heidi puts out a newsletter the first  2 weeks of every month.  In that, she gives you a free digital image to use on your creations!  The only way to get these digis is to sign up for the newsletter-easy right?  And of course, she gets so excited to see what you have made with her images.  It's a Win-Win for both of you!

This month, the image is called Pin-Wheel Monster and I'm putting him on a unique card blank from The Paper Cut called the Scalloped swinging Z-fold blank in Lemon Drop.  I cut Pin Wheel monster out with a circle die and set the pinwheel outside of the die-love that effect.  Doesn't that daisy paper look so Springtimey?  It's perfect for a fun Birthday for some lucky person--hope to see you on the website with your creation!

ScrapbookerPhD Challenge #22 FOCUS on a SENTIMENT

 As I get started with a new Design Team at ScrapbookerPhD, I'm thrilled that we are being sponsored this month by Craft Classes Online!  BOTH are a great combination for your scrapbooking talents so check them both out AND it's a perfect way to celebrate National Craft Month!  I had met the owner of PhD through another site and was thrilled to be considered for her expanding group.

For this challenge #22, it is all about the sentiment, the verse, the words that convey to your loved one just how much you care about them, how much they are in your thoughts.  VERY versatile card options there.
I'm so tired of winter and am thrilled to make a card with Spring colors and flowers!  For this card, I used a pre-colored digital image from my stash from Fred she Said  and the outside sentiment is from Doodle Pantry.   I put foam dots under the flower frame and the ladybugs. Awww, I think Spring is finally in the air!
Please get an entry together and get to our site to enter!  Any image can be used, no specific layout--just has to have a sentiment!  Easy Peasy!  See you there!  To the winner of this challenge CCO is offering a free seat to any of their online workshops found on the CCO website with a regular price of $25 or less. Winners have until the end of December 2015 to claim their prize. (Isn't this an incredible prize!)
