Now Introducing Bat Boy ATC

 

 

So just a quick little ATC I did today for a couple of challenges.  This is my Bat Boy from Dilly Beans - Winged Monster.  This is the 1st time I used colored pencils and I'm not really sure if I like it or not (the wings maybe ok).  I used a computer generated font for the title.  I wanted the ATC to look like a poster board for a Circus/Freakshow.  Well that is pretty much it...he is cute no matter what! 

 

I am entering this ATC in the following challenges:

•  Forever Night Challenge #45 - Anything Goes - open til 9/20
•  Wicked Wednesday ATC #50 - Circus Fun - open til 9/25
•  DL ART - Thankful Thursday - 1000 Post Linky Party - open til 9/30

Easter Bunny in a Basket Shape card

Happy Easter to my fellow crafty bloggers!!!!  I had a fantastic morning with my family at church...cooking dinner now but super tired.  I worked til 12:45am last night, came home, did the Easter stuff and went to bed around 3:30am only to turn around and get up at 6:00am to help the girls find Easter eggs and check out what the Easter Bunny left in their Easter baskets.

Today I am sharing with you my Easter Bunny in a Basket shape card.  I am super excited about how this shape card turned out...in fact now that I think about I don't think I have ever done a shape card!  I made this card for my 2 year old daughter.  This is the 1st year she will start to understand Easter and what it is all about...and of course the Easter Bunny. 

I used these items to create this card:

• Design Studio - to weld the basket together
• Dilly Beans digital bunny stamp
• pink Sharpie marker - for the bunny
• Recollections white flock - for the bunny

• foam squares - to give the bunny paws the appearance he was going to jump out
• Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge - for the basket and eggs
• ribbon - for the basket

• Brown gel pen - to create the faux stitching around the basket.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

I made Dilly Beans Top 3!!!

I am super excited to have been chosen Top 3 over at Dilly Bean Challenge for my entry in "Have the Blues" challenge. 

Here's the link to my blog entry Don't Be Blue
I was super excited with the way this card turned out and once I get the tempory address of where my friend is staying I will be sending it to her.

Don't Be Blue card

I was inspired this week by the challenge over at Dilly Beans - Have the Blues Challenge.  A very dear friend of mine is going through a really tough time right now and I knew that I could use this challenge to create this card for her.  I knew right away that I wanted to use the Zombie Girl digital stamp I have from Dilly Beans and I wanted to print her out on blue cardstock...and I did just that.

I used these items to create this card:

• Zombie Girl digital stamp
• blue and white cardstock
• Sharpie markers
• White gel pen - for the eye
• ribbon from my stash
• lime green staples
• Bug Bites - All Year Round stamps for the sentiment

Here's a look at a very plain and simple inside...so that I can write in it.

I really think my friend is going to like this card and let her know that I'm thinking of her.  She has always been my #1 supporter when it comes to my crafts, this is the least I can do for her since we can't be together!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

• Dilly Beans - Have the Blues Challenge
• Anything Goes At Anything Goes
• Little Scrap Pieces Challenge - Use Blue

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed my Don't Be Blue card.

Winter Fun card

I am continuing exploring digital stamps and here is another project I created using a digital stamp from Dilly Beans...I just love them!  I also used a distressing technique that I love...I tore some white cardstock to create snowy hills that I also stickled to give it some sparkle.  This is also an easel card...so far my favorite type of card.

I used these items to create this card:

• Dilly Beans Snow Family digital stamp
• Marth Stewart punch - for the small snowflakes
• Sharpie markers
• Stickles and Studio G Glitter Glue - on the snowmen and the snow
• Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge - for the "Winter Fun" and the snowflake
