iCopic PINK DT Call

Have you ever found a company that is well rounded?  They are professional, have EXCELLENT customer service, a free membership program, and a selection of your "go to" products that beats all the rest?  Well iCopic is mine.  I was referred to iCopic from a couple of members of my blog group.  What a fantastic store and so many fun products.....especially COPICS!!!  Find them HERE.  Visit their blog HERE.

In my Mothers Day card I am using one of two products I order from iCopics....Copics!!!  I also have an Airbrush System that I just love!  The theme for this post is PINK.  I used as many different shades of pink as I possibly could.  My image was a freebie from Mabelle Wimsey and Star Studios-Alex with flowers.  This is the perfect image for a Mother's Day card from a boy.  Hope you like it...and wish me luck.  I would just love to be part of this delightful company!

Happy Saturday!  Wow we have a 3 day weekend!  You know what that means….Extra crafting time!!!!  Today I have a fun “Thank You” card.  It goes right along with this month’s theme “be thankful” over at the ABC DT Challenge Blog.   I wanted to make this thank you extra special for my son’s new teacher.  She was such a life saver for me this week.  I went with a slight vintage feel for my card.  Hope you all like it!

Party Time Tuesdays-DT and Sponsorship Coordinator Call

Hello Blog friends!  I am posting this today to let all of you know I have really done it....I am now the proud owner of Party Time Tuesdays!  PTT was a blog started by Kristie and her friend Di.  They both had personals come up in life and were not able to continue.  I approached her about the blog since it was such a fun and upbeat challenge blog that I truly enjoyed entering in my creations.  So, she said YES and now I am in a mad scramble to get it back up and running.  Wow a lot really goes into a challenge blog.  So, if you are interested in applying for a DT with a very laid back but organized schedule, a DT with the perks being the opportunity to showcase your work and have sponsors giving you fun items to work with...then this DT is for you!  I believe it is a DT that would work great for people who are already on other DT's.  Not a huge commitment but just a whole lot of FUN!  Please visit PTT for all the details!  Hope to see you there!  Our 1st challenge will begin on February 1st!!! 

Bugaboo Design Team Call and Jugs Sketch Challenge 58

I discovered Bugaboo stamps in July.  The first one I purchased was the Nurse Margaret.  I have since acquired a couple others that I will feature today in this DT call post.  My first is the “Ladybug Vase”.  I made this card for my grandma to give my sister for her birthday next week. 

The second is for my dad to give my sister….it is so fitting since they both are huge football fans, so I used the “Football Nut”.  For this card I also used the JUGS Sketch challenge 58. 

My third project in this post is this cute little Christmas mouse stamp. 

All three cards are colored with Copic markers.  If you get a chance and want to try out digi’s or would just love to have a bugaboo digi, there is a sale going on for the month of November.  Just enter this code H80JN917 when you check out and you will get ½ off!!!  Yes I said 50% off!  Now that is what I call a SALE!!!  Wish me luck with this DT call and thanks for stopping by!

ScrapbookPal.com DT Call

This is a little "Christmassy" for April but I wanted to use it for the ScrapbookPal.com Design Team Call. I used the Cricut "Joy of the Season" and "Accent Essentials" cartridges. Using the Cricut design software I manipulated the snowflake to have a circle cut out in the middle. I wrapped fishing line around the chipboard snowflake before covering it with designer paper. I then put rhinestones on the fishing line to catch the light from the tree. Added a reindeer die cut made from my Expression and a little ribbon and more rhinestones. Stamped a “Believe in Magic” with a stamp from the Michaels Dollar bin and there you have it…A custom ornament. Hope ScrapbookPal likes it!! You can find the Cricut products I used at ScrapbookPal.com!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
