The Outlawz Progressive/Freebie Challenge with SheepSki Designs!

 Hello Spring and all the glorious colors that you bring!   Our sponsor this month is SheepSki Designs and we hope you have as much fun creating with the delightful image that she provided for us!

I colored up the image with alcohol markers and a gel pen for accents and inked the edges with Distress Inks.  I made a diagonal trifold card following Beccy’s Place A-Z tutorial.  I stamped the sentiment with Distress Ink, too.  I hope to see you at the Outlawz Progressive/Freebie Challenge this month!

Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone

 It’s definitely turning spring here at my house!  The most wonderful thing about this time of year is that I can sit in my hammock chair on my porch and read!  Not too hot, not too cold….just right!  Goldilocks weather for sure!  So I needed more bookmarks and it’s time for the Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone Challenge so this happened!

One of our good friends and a super sponsor at the Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge is Kate Hadfield Designs!  Kate’s store, blog, freebie and VIP Doodle Den can be found HERE 😊  You can easily stay and be inspired for the longest time!  I absolutely LOVE Kate’s designs and how easily I can use them with my iPad and Procreate or print on paper and cut out the designs for projects!  Scrapbooking, journaling, card making, tags, treat toppers…..oh my!  Anywhere your imagination takes you!  I used a freebie kit “Bits and Pieces” from the Doodle Den (just sign up and receive Kate’s news letter and you get the password to the Doodle Den).  I used Procreate to create my bookmarks and printed out to some cardstock.  I cut them out to size and punched the holes then threading some thin strips of fabric that matched the colors of my bookmarks.  Easy as pie and perfect for some spring time book reading!

Our theme is Anything Goes this month and your only thing not to make is a card!  Remember this is the Outlawz Anything Goes in a Card Free Zone! :)

Progressive/Freebie Challenge

We are having some fun with a cute mushroom house this month at the Outlawz Progressive/Freebie Challenge!  I made a curtain fold card for my cozy little house with its welcoming lights shining through the windows!

We look forward to seeing what you create with this and what story your tiny mushroom house has to tell!  See ya at the Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge! 

Gothic Blog Hop at LeighSBDesigns ❤️💌

The 8th Annual Gothic Valentine Blog Hop continues at LeighSBDesigns and you still have time to play!  I have been in a bookmark kinda mood here lately and hadn’t produced not one until today!

I used Procreate to make my digital bookmark and used these LeighSBDesigns:

Grunge Hearts Decorative Digi Paper Pack

Heart Beat Slimline Heart

I added some fireworks around the heart because love usually includes some fireworks along the way! 🧨

All the details and linky party for the blog hop are here at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️💌

 I’m joining in the 8th Annual Gothic Valentine Blog Hop at LeighSBDesigns!

This is a mixed media project using an incredibly fabulous Victorian Valentine from the Graphics Fairy!  I wanted to get into my acrylic paints again so I used some reds and pearlescent golds to make a loose frame.  I also painted the hearts and corners of the image before adding some textured paper and attaching it to the back.  All of the details and linky party for the blog hop can be found HERE at LeighSBDesigns Inspiration Blog!

8th Annual Gothic Valentine Blog Hop ❤️

 It’s time for some gothic good valentine fun at LeighSBDesigns where Leigh is hosting the 8th Annual Valentine Blog Hop! 💌

My make for today is a heart lantern using the SVG by Jennifer Maker.  Today my Cricut acting very well but Design Space on my iPad decided to be the villain!  Oh well, that’s how things go!

After many popped seams 😂 I was able to grab a photo with lights on and off!  I dared not push my luck at this point!  Even if I did discover some seams and words from a first attempt showed through!

It is very pretty with the fairy lights shining through the hearts and circles!  All the details for the blog hop are HERE!

Creative Inspiration Challenges with LeighSBDesigns for February 💕❤️

 Here we go with another challenge at Creative Inspiration where it’s always Anything Goes and our beautiful sponsor for February is LeighSBDesigns! 😻.   A big thank you to Leigh for sponsoring us this month!   I had the ever so delightful time creating with Alice - Slimline Digi Stamp from the brand new Loveleigh Kitties in Wonderland Collection by LeighSBDesigns!

I made an upright diamond fold card following a tutorial from Beccy’s Place!  I colored Loveleigh Alice kitty with a combination of markers and colored pencils.  The papers are from a digital paper pack by Bum Fuzzie Boutique, Etsy.  I loved the slightly grunge vintage look of the papers.  The senti is also by LeighSBDesigns from the Wonderland Senties a set of 7 senties for all your Wonderland makes!  I made my sentie into a belly band that holds my diamond front and fits over the image that is popped on with foam squares!

Above here is the inner bits of the card where I had a bit of bother fitting my patterned paper to the bones of the card which is  one piece of card stock with only one cut and that kinda boggles my mind! 😝
