Springtime Kitty

Sorry in advance for a quick post ...
as I am late getting to bed and have an appointment in the early morning before work.

I am lovin' this Spring Kitty image from Imagine That :)  

I have had it printed out for a while but haven't created anything with it until today ... 

Thank you Kris and the Digi Sketch challenge DT this week for your inspiration!

Card Details:  Spring Kitty mentioned above and Tooty Fruity Papers (yellow gingham) both from Imagine That Digi Stamps store, SU card stock (bashful blue, Summer Sun and textured pretty in pink - I believe), sponged SU Only Orange ink, Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles, Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder, and Silhouette Portrait to cut out the sunshine image.

Inky Hugs,


P.S. - Pssstttt ... There's a sneak peek back there of an image coming out in June ... can you guess what it is?!

Springtime flowers everywhere

I am really loving that the springtime flowers are everywhere in the flowerbeds now.  They have been long awaited, as this past winter has seemed to drag on and on.  This image from From The Heart stamps is perfect for this time of year ...

I received this image from sweet Faith for the April Free Stamp of the Month.  It is for their progressive challenge (new image each month), but check out the store if you did not get to play along last month and receive this image for free.

If you missed out, you can still play along with the challenge by purchasing the image. Then you can enter the challenge and receive next month’s digi free. OR if you spend $10 in the From The Heart Stamps store this month, you can enter code TULIPS to receive as Spring Medley a free gift.  Hurry though, the month of April is going by fast.

I combined this FTH April challenge with the Digi Sketch Springtime challenge going on right in this card ...

Other Card Details:  Stampin Up cs and dp as well as a pretty blue scrap
from my stash.  the satin light blue ribbon was recycled from a gift bag,
light "denim blue" pearls, and lastly the pretty flower charm is from
a blog candy win from America's blog! :)  TY 

You will want to be sure to check out the Digi Sketch challenge too, as my friend, Kris at Imagine That is sponsoring them this week too! :)  and ... You will have a chance to win some great images!!

Inky Hugs,

Flat-out cute digi images

Hey there, fellow bloggers/crafters!

I hope you had a great weekend.  Mine was a little busy and really flew by as usual with hubby only home one full day with me on the weekends, so we try and cram a full day in on Sundays ...  anyway, it's great spending time with him, but ... I took a little "me" time tonight and snuck off to my craft room to create a card or two (have a couple more in the making to show you soon).

I stumbled onto this blog with some cute sketches of some every day images that one could use for birthdays or special occasions called "Flat Friends."  Emma, whom I  believe is from the UK with some Irish heritage (read about recently), has created these simple, yet adorable flat images, and I thought I would play along by grabbing a few freebies there too ... unfortunately I didn't pay very close attention to the challenge (more than 1 fold) and will have to try again with one of the other images I printed for later if I want to play in the challenge this month *doh*

This sweet image is called "Cupcake," and I believe it will be perfect for an upcoming friend's birthday next month ...

• Image:  FlatFriends by Emma
• Sentiment:  Sneak Peek from Imagine That ... stay tuned a couple of days to see more!
• Tools used:  Spellbinders Lacy Ovals, Spellbinders Large Ovals, Stampin' Up large oval punch and large oval scalloped punch.

I also played along with the sketch part at Digi Sketch Challenge this week.  Come take a look! :)

Inky Hugs,
