It's a Monsters Birthday Party--at Color It Create It Show it Off

 It's a Monster Party over at Color It Create It Show It Off and I just love this quirky image 006 from Sherri Baldy.  It can be found in her shop here.  There's quite a variety of them and we know you'll find just the right one for some Fun! Our theme is Monster Birthday and I went in a different direction from the birthday balloons.  I shadowed the dots on her face so it make them look raised up-Then threw on some Stickles as an accent.  Also put some purple Stickles on her toenails and green on her antennas and epoxy dots randomly spread.  I lucked out that the design paper that I used also had the phrase already printed out so of course I used it.  On the inside , I matched some pink papers up from my Stash and used a KKS stamp.

I've enjoyed every minute of my time on this great DT team and it is with a heavy heart that I  have decided to go and try other things in Blogland.  This will be my last post for CICISIO and I wish all the friends and "second" family all the Best!!  They've been gracious enough to leave the door open for me if I want to come back in the future-that means a lot to me.  So look for me on FB - I'm sure that I'll be around!  Thanks for the memories!

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!

Scary ANIMAL Birthday card for HAMBO Challenge

Back when I was a "Bacon Bit" on the Hambo site, I collected several cute images and stamps.  In the spirit of the new year, I'm trying to expand the challenges that I enter my cards in and so for their 2 week challenge, you're to use one of their many ANIMAL images.
I've always liked this one called Monster Yell -he always gave me a chuckle and came with 3 different choices of sentiments.  For some reason the large washer eyelets colors are a bit off and wouldn't adjust but you can get the basic idea of matching colors to the papers used.
The 2 winners each get a free digital image so jump right in there!  Their Valentine Pig is hilarious and very versatile to use with Valentine's Day around the corner!  Thanks for looking!
