All Dressed Up Challenge~ Anything Goes with an ADU image

Over at All Dressed Up Stamps, we are currently running our April 15th Challenge and we want you to join in!  It runs to May 14th and is AG with using an ADU image.

The one I chose for this event is called Strawberry Girl and can be found in the Shop here.    Lol this card has had 2 revisions much to my frustration but I'm happy with the end results.  I had to fancy cut the image as the background I was creating got ruined.  So originally, her blanket would have showed up much better had I not done that.*** It just goes to show that you have to be flexible with your creations 'cause you never know when things are going to go down the tubes!  You just laugh and go on!  As I was running out of time, I used some zigzag papers chipped at the top to form "grass" and had some emergency cloud paper that was used in the background.

In the inside, I used a smaller graphic paper and a white label die cut to frame the friendship sentiment that I stamped.  Both of the sentiments were from KKS and really come in handy! 
We hope to see what YOU create for the challenge-the winner gets free images from ADU and there's tons to choose from!  Hurry on over!

The Ant Family Watermelon is a picnic at 2 CuteInk!

 Well...summer will soon be just around the corner and I can't help but think of a cold, juicy watermelon!  But it looks like the Ant Family from 2 CuteInk got there first~
This is my Thursday post where I get an additional chance to play with one of Heidi's great images from the 2 CuteInk store.  Using an A7 card sideways, I matted the circle cut and sentiment to *pop* it off the wonderful, 2-sided chevron paper from Adorn iT.  The inside of the card is the backside-isn't that fun?  The sentiment is from my stamped stash and could be used for many occasions. 
Be sure to join in our Challenges here and you could win some great images!  I'm planning on sending this to a great friend -I bet you can find something that will make YOU smile too!

Summertime thoughts in May-QKR Sponsors Seems a Little Sketchy!

While we've had some mornings recently in the 40's, I KNOW Summertime will eventually get here...and when I think of Summer I think of picnics, bugs and Watermelon.  What a perfect image QKR Stampede  has given us to use-Sharing a Slice.  The crew at Seems a Little Sketchy loves their options and you will too!  The winner of our 2 week challenge will get 5 digital images from the fun site-don't miss your chance!
I've used a background mat of mini white polkadots on black and then placed 3 panels of the traditional red gingham print.  It was a perfect time to use this ribbon out of my stash-complete with ANTS on it!
Hope to see you making an entry using our latest challenge sketch ~good luck to you and come back often!
