It's Raining Hearts on Sherri Baldy's Blog with Img 235

My latest creation for Sherri Baldy's Blog today is called Img 235  Raining Hearts.  It just cheered me up working on her in this oppressive HEAT we've had in Illinois!
I used a blue glaze on her for the glasses, a wooden LOVE Embellie,
3 orange "Twinkle Goosebumps" , and a section of paper lace.
On the inside a simple but meaningful sentiment.  This card will be going to a dear friend that will be leaving the office shortly.  She will be missed !!!
Check out Sherri's Store and find your own special image that conveys all your feelings.  She's got hundreds of them!

Bugaboo sponsors Come and Get It for an ATG Challenge & Prizes!

 This week over at Come and Get It Challenge, we are so happy to share images from Bugaboo!  Our challenges are always ATG so you all can participate and share your creations! 
I always think of rain slickers being yellow and you'd wear red boots so that's how I colored it with Copics.  I also used some glossy accents on the rain puddles on the umbrella and under his feet.  They look so wet-it's great!  I had the perfect paper for the card-these dancing umbrellas that even have a little glitter on some of their edges.  Then on the reverse side of the paper was the phrase "rain rain go away..." which I used for the split front.  Grosgrain ribbon was glued on the seam for an accent color.  I used a metal shaped sentiment that a friend gave me in a swap and then I used some Bling Teardrops as raindrops.

Crafting When We Can Challenge #128- Use your Favorite Medium

This week at Crafting When We Can, we are using stamps from Star Stampz and the theme is to use your favorite medium in your creation.  This image is called Spring Rain and she doesn't look too happy to be stuck out in the rain! 
The umbrella design paper in the background is embossed and has glitter accents.  I colored the image with Copics and love the "tude" she has!  Besides the denim fishtail banners at the top, I used some gorgeous crystal teardrops for raindrops.  Placed them along the edge of the umbrellas.  I used a very compact sentiment perfect for a Rain Card by KKS.  For the liner on the inside, I used this great rain "verse"-Rain Rain go away....design paper, then I used a white label diecut, stamped with another sentiment from the KKS series and added an enamel dot for some color!  Crafting When We Can is a great Challenge that runs for 2 weeks and we would LOVE to see your creations!

DT Call at All Dressed Up for their Blog Challenge DT AND the Facebook DT!

 There's currently a DT Call over at All Dressed Up and that's so exciting for several people!!  There are actually 2 Teams: Blog Challenge DT (what I'm looking for) but also the Facebook DT!  I'd wanted to share 3 cards that I previously made using an All Dressed Up Images: One image is called "I Love My Puppy" , "Mirror Mirror", and "Amore" is the last one.  They have such adorable digis to choose from and if you need an image, several freebies to color up and join in!  Can you tell I like using the images they have? I'm planning on submitting one of the cards for consideration for the monthly post that's required and hope that you will do the same. Good Luck!

Star Stampz is Sponsoring Challenge #114 at Crafting When We Can! Use Washi Tape!

This week over at Crafting When We Can, we are launching Challenge #114, sponsored by Star Stampz!  The twist is that we want you to use Washi Tape~  Now I know you are thinking that you aren't seeing that on my card?  However, this denim tape was described by The Paper Studio as washi tape.  I was just glad it went so well with the digital image I used called Rain. 
The umbrella design paper in the background is embossed and has glitter accents.  I colored the image with Copics and love the "tude" she has!  Besides the denim fishtail banners at the top, I used some gorgeous crystal teardrops for raindrops.  Placed them along the edge of the umbrellas.  I used a very compact sentiment perfect for a Rain Card by KKS.  For the liner on the inside, I used this great rain "verse"-Rain Rain go away....design paper, then I used a white label diecut, stamped with another sentiment from the KKS series and added an enamel dot for some color!  Crafting When We Can is a great Challenge that runs for 2 weeks and we would LOVE to see your creations!

Rainy Days go away! Puddle Bug wants to come out and play at 2 CuteInk!

 Our theme at 2 CuteInk this week is ~Water~ so of course I thought of RAIN and one of Heidi's adorable images called Puddle Bug.  Doesn't she look so CUTE(ink) with her perky umbrella and boots?

I used some great paper from my stash that when you place it horizontally, it could be used for scenes with Pools BUT when placed vertically, what perfect paper for RAIN!  I used a scrap from a digital image from Fred she Said that was depicting a sidewalk-so so lucky to have that.  I've been really drawn to using these tear-drop crystals (from the wedding aisle in HL-by David Tutera) as rain drops-they are SO reflective!

On the inside,I used a grouping of flowers and dragonfly from Fred she Said also from my stash.  The sentiment comes from Doodle Pantry and the generalized statement could be used for many different things.  So you can see it took many different elements to pull this card together! 
We've heard through a little birdie that hopefully very soon Heidi will be including a sentiment with her images, probably randomly, but how exciting!!  Then you will have a complete project with one purchase!

Be sure and show us your creations this week on our Challenge Blog!  We can't wait to see what you've done!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG 2nd Challenge at Sweet Pea's "One Sweet Challenge"

 How can you NOT get a smile on your face when you see Raindragon by Lisa Victoria with Sweet Pea Stamps!!!  Even Puddles won't get him down!  This will celebrate the halfway point in the "One Sweet Challenge" for Sweet Pea as we continue with the theme Spring Has Sprung for April.

This was such a FUN card to do-a 6x6 card blank used from The Paper Cut, with this Perfect rain drop 2 sided paper.  The dragon is SO cute and I loved doing her in Copic shades of pinks with a light blue wash over her.  The other side of the paper has several different cloud patterns on it which I used with foam dots.  What I got a kick out of was going back and using Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue on all the raindrops, even across the border at the bottom (which is the tear away section of the paper).  On the inside, I wanted to do a sunshine page with another paper from the set-aren't the rain boots and umbrellas adorable?  With an up-beat sentiment, it's sure to get someone feeling better quickly!
Be sure to check back for the next month's theme at One Sweet Challenge-Sweet Pea Stamps has so many images that will inspire you to enter your creation!  Remember: Our prizes for our challenges are a $10 coupon if the winner uses a Sweet Pea Stamp rubber stamp or digital image and a $5 coupon to the Sweet Pea Stamp store if the winner did not use a Sweet Pea Stamp.  See you there!
