It's time for the May Anything Goes Challenge

Hello blogland, Doris here with the brand new
May Anything Goes Challenge at
Crafting by Designs!
 
This month we have three wonderful
sponsors, and I've got a few projects to share with you.
 
This first project was made using
Candy is Dandy from Smeared Ink
 
 
Their images are always so much fun to
work with, and I fussy cut her out and popped her up
for some dimension. 
 
This next image was made using
A Time To Share from All Dressed Up Stamps

The images from All Dressed Up Stamps are
just too cute, and I decided to use
both of the little girls.
 
Be sure to head over to Crafting by Designs HERE
and enter your Anything Goes projects until May 25
for your chance to win one of three great prizes from our sponsors!

More April Showers for May Flowers

Hello blogland, Doris here with more
April Showers and May Flowers, but
this time it's for a new challenge starting today at
 
This week we have 3 great sponsors and I
have 2 projects to share with you.
 
This first image comes from our first sponsor
Lia Stampz an is called Lucy Spring.
 
 
You have to see all the different projects that
the Design Team and our Guest Designers made
using this image - we had a blast!
 
 
For this next project I used an image from
our next sponsor 2 Cute Ink called Love Bug.

 
For this card I decided I wanted to use just what I had on my desk
and went from there.  The black card base already had
the circle cut out of it, so it served as a little window to the
inside of there card where the colored image is just layered on white and black
scallop circles and pop dots for some dimension.
 
Our third sponsor this week is
Flourish with A Bling and they're offering
free worldwide shipping in the month of
April so head on over there and stock up on some
yummy bling from their store!
 
So head on over to Crafting by Designs HERE and enter
your April Showers/May Flowers projects by April 29
for your chance to win some crafty goodness from
not one, not two, but three sponsors!

Exotic Asia!

Hello blogland, Doris here with a brand new challenge from
This week we take a trip to Exotic Asia as our theme
and we're lucky enough to have 
Nicecrane as our sponsor and were given
beautiful collage sheets to work with. 
 
Here's my project:
 
 
This image is from the Japanese Gardens collage page and it contains
very prettyimages, it was hard to choose which one to work with.
I decided to emboss some kraft colored cardstock on top of a
black card base and did the same under the image which I
cut into 4 pieces to match the base.  It was
raining in NJ today and I couldn't get a better picture to
really show off the colors, but I think you get the idea.
 
Hop on over to Crafting by Designs HERE and enter your Asian themed project
for a chance to win a lovely collage sheet from the Nicecrane store.

Lace and Doilies

Hello blogland, Doris here with a
new challenge from Crafting by Designs.
This week we're playing with Lace and Doilies on our projects.
Both of
these can make a project look vintage, girly, dressy
or just pretty, so that's your challenge -
add one or both to your project.
 
And to help us out with our projects
our sponsor Lunagirl gave us a great collage sheet to work with.
Here's my little project:
 
 
In addition to the lacey digital image, I used a piece of
DCWV patterned paper with some doilies, and tried out some
clear tape with a lovely lacey doilie image on it and just
trimmed it to fit the piece of chipboard underneath.  Some
flatback pearls on the bottom and I was done!
 
Hop on over to Crafting by Designs HERE by April 15
to enter your Lace/Doilies projects for a chance to win
a gift certificate to the Lunagirl store.
