Designed to Color

I'm back with my big announcement... I am now part of the Rainbow Crew on the Designed To Color Challenge Team! If you're not familiar with Designed to Color, it was home to great tutorials, an online magazine, a monthly challenge, etc. DTC has recently undergone some changes, dropping the online magazine and adding a second challenge per month (e.g., there are now bimonthly challenges). The new challenge called for a second challenge team and voila! here I am. :)

Our very first Rainbow Crew challenge is sponsored by the adorable Meljen's Designs. The theme is a color challenge, based on the palette below (you only need to include 3 of the colors):

I actually included most of the colors in the palette:

Cake - Y21, E31, E33, E35, E37, YG03, YG11

Mouse: W1, W3, W5, R20, R22, 100

Candles - Y21, YR16, Y11, YG03, YG11, BG000, BG01

Plate - E41, E42

Image: Birthday Cake Mouse (MelJen Designs)

Card Stock (for image): General Pacific

Elements: Bazzill cardstock in Kachina, Recollections papers - Lavender Lines, Aqua Screen, Teal Butterflies, ribbon, green cardstock, yellow glitter, rhinestone flowers

I'm also entering my card into the Anything Goes challenges at Make It Monday and CMC Copic Challenge.

Head on over to the Designed To Color blog to check out the details for the current challenge and see the rest of the team's awesome projects! Play along with us for a chance to win FOUR images of your choice from the Meljen's Designs shop!

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

This week's Tiddly Inks challenge was an unusual one - Inspiration from a Movie or Book. This cute little Wryn image made me think of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. (Only in this version, things work out a lot happier for "Goldi" and her friends.)

Supplies: Wryn Thank You Beary Much (Tiddly Inks), ivory cs (DCWV),

kraft cs (TAC), Copics, dp from stash, ivory vintage seam binding (Ribbon Carousel),

button, Lime Twist pink bakers' twine (MME) and pop-dots.

The card came together pretty quickly using this fun sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge:

I'm also entering my card into this week's Anything Goes challenge at the CMC Copic Challenge blog.

I'll be back later this week with a big announcement. Stay tuned!

Sweet Little Abi

I'm popping in with a quick and cute Abi card. I'm still trying to build up those birthday card reserves! This one, however, is slated to my friend Karyn whose favorite colors are peach and green. This is more of a blush pink, but close enough that I think she'll really like it. :)

Supplies: Abi (DSB), Lost & Found Market Street 6X6 pad (MME), ivory vintage seam binding (Ribbon Carousel), pearls (Recollections), sewing machine, kraft and ivory cs and Copics.

For my layout, I used last week's sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I'm entering my cards into the following challenges:
Clear It Out Challenge - anything goes + 2 papers from stash
Craft Door Magazine - anything goes
Try It Out Tuesday - Feminine and Fancy

I'll see you on Friday with a new card for the always anything goes Sister Act Card Challenge!

Yumi & Fumi Week #4

Yumi and Fumi Handmade has been having a ton of fun challenges and giveaways lately! This is my entry into the current giveaway - an anything goes challenge. I'm always reading something, so I thought a bookmark would be a fun and useful project.

Supplies: Fumi with messenger bag (Y&FH), Check Him Out dp (MME), 

ribbon (Michaels), flower (Prima), pearl (Michaels), Copics, sewing machine.

This is my first project with my Fumi stamp. I just love her little topknots in her hair!

Totally Papercrafts - Don't Be a Square

Note: This is my second post of the morning. Please scroll down below to see the Sister Act Card Challenge.

Eek! This week's Totally Papercrafts challenge was a real challenge for me - Don't be a Square. One of our sponsors this week is Doodle Pantry. I chose this adorable bunny stamp to work with and, luckily, it lent itself to a circle card. (The bunny comes as a set with both hay and grass underneath the bunny. I chose the hay one and extended the hay with some Copics and a black gel pen so that it filled the entire bottom half of the circle.)

Supplies: Bunny Wabbit (Doodle Pantry), heart dp (Basic Grey), ribbon (Ribbon Carousel), Copics, cs from stash.

Hop on over to the Totally Papercrafts blog to see what the other ladies have been up to and to join in to win a prize from one of our TWO great sponsors - Doodle Pantry and Stamp and Create.
