Spring is all about Renewal

Just share a winter-themed card and a revamped, springy card.  - That is the theme for the Penny Black Blog challenge - posted today and the deadline is today - no time to think or mull this over...... I decided to to CASE this card I made last December





and turn it into a spring card:




Its pretty quick and easy. I masked the sentiment strip, stamped over with the Penny Black Delicate Florals stamp, colored it with Copics and chalk ink and sponged just a tad with Adirondack lettuce ink. the sentiment is one of those $ stamps from Michaels. And since I had applied some Stickels on my winter card I did the same here:





I am also linking this up with the Anything goes challenge at Word Art Wednesday and the Simon Says A Bit O" Green challenge

Update: This card was featured on the Penny Black blog today - I am so happy about that!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
