It's Raining Cats and Dogs!

Hey there and welcome to another Totally Papercrafts challenge! This week's theme is "It's Raining Cats and Dogs". I need to build my stock of birthday cards so I chose this adorable Barney image from DigiStamp Boutique:

For my layout I used this sketch from Frosted Designs:

At Totally Papercrafts, we're sorry to see several ladies from the design team move on to other things, but we are excited to welcome several new members.

Anything Goes

Yay! Things have finally calmed down so that I am able to make cards more often! After checking out a few of my regular challenge blog stops, I came up with this card:

Supplies: Mr. Fix It (Mo Manning's Digital Pencil Too), ruler twill tape (Ribbon Carousel), paper from stash, Copic markers, antique pewter brads.

For my layout, I used the current sketch at Sketch Saturday:

I'm entering Mr. Fixit in several challenges:
Digital Pencil Too - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (optional theme: Father's Day/male)
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Phindy's Place - Father's Day/masculine
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Father's Day/masculine

Have a great week!

Totally Papercrafts challenge - Doodle on it!

Ooh, another tough one for me. This week's Totally Papercrafts challenge is Doodle On It. Doodling on my cards is definitely way out of my comfort zone but it did fill in some extra space around this cute Wryn image I used.

For my layout, I used this week's fun sketch from Card Positioning Systems.

Be sure to check out the other DT cards for this week's Totally Papercrafts Doodle challenge. Play along for a chance to win four digis from our sponsor, Delicious Doodles.

TGIF!!

A Challenge Card for a Challenging Day

Ooh, rough day at work today! So I decided to unwind by playing along with a few of my favorite challenges. I decided to break out one of my older Tiddly Inks image for the TI "Flowers" challenge, this adorable Bugg:

I used the sketch below from Card Patterns for my layout. I turned it on its side, but other than that stayed fairly true to the sketch.

That's it for me! I'm off to bed to face another (hopefully slightly less busy) day tomorrow.

Totally Papercrafts - More Than One Fold

It's time for this week's Totally Papercrafts challenge - More Than One Fold. This was a tough one for me because I'm not usually very good at "fold-y" cards. However, I followed Beate Johns' awesome Easel Card tutorial on SplitCoastStampers and came up with this cutie on the first try:

side view:

Supplies include the adorable Dan digital stamp from DigiStamp Boutique, Martha Stewart daisy border punch and butterfly punch, blue cs from PaperTrey Ink and my trusty Copics. (The sentiment is from The Angel Company.)

Our sponsor this week is the awesome Simon Says Stamp. So, head on over to the Totally Papercrafts blog, check out the DT cards and play along for your chance at a gift card from Simon Says Stamp!

Totally Papercrafts - Animals

It's me sneaking in just a tad (!!) late this week with this week's Totally Papercrafts challenge. This is one of my favorites because the theme is "Animals" - which means I can use a doggie image. Yay! :) Our sponsor this week is DigiStamp Boutique so I used one of the May releases, Toby and Tobias. I hope Toby & Tobias are secure in the masculinity because I used a ton of PINK in my card for this week's Cute Card Thursday challenge (Pink and Green). :)

Head on over to the Totally Papercrafts blog to check out the other DT gals' work. Then be sure to participate in the challenge for your chance to win some of your own cute digi images from  DigiStamp Boutique!

Totally Papercrafts Sketch

Guess what? It was my turn this week to host the Totally Papercrafts sketch! I created this fun little sketch to use in your card or other project this week:

Our sponsor this week is the adorable Meljen's Designs. I used this cute little crab image for my card. It's a birthday card for my sister, whose astrological sign is Cancer the crab and who is also known (especially by her big sister) to be a bit of a crab. ;-)

Here's the inside. I just typed it up on my computer and printed it out. I don't normally decorate the inside of my cards, but I have to admit that it was fun and does add a nice finishing touch to your card.

That's enough blabbering from me! :) Head on over to Totally Papercrafts to check out this week's DT cards and get the particulars for playing along. Can't wait to see your cards this week!
