Just a little Day for Daisies

Hello blogland!  Just popping in with a little project from one of my favorite digi stamp spots, A Day for Daisies.  They are this week's sponsor at

Crafting by Designs and we got to pick the images we wanted to work with.....took me so long to decide because I just love so many of them. 

But take a peak at the one I chose:

As usual, I tend to keep to the Clean and Simple style, and kept the copic coloring to a minimum and used some diamond Stickles on the bells and ribbon, and a Unity stamped sentiment, ribbon and pearls, done! 

Stop on over at Crafting by Designs and join our Anything Goes challenge this week for your chance to win a gift certificate to A Day for Daisies!

Prima Dolls

Challenge: Prima Doll Challenge

August 6 - 12th, 2013

Hi everyone, today I've got a little project for this week's challenge at Cuttin' and Stampin - Prima Dolls. I know they're all the rage and I was so happy to get my first Prima Doll stamp, but then what? She's pretty big for a stamp, but when I started looking at the creative things everyone is doing with them, I rolled up my sleeves and jumped in.

I decided to do some paper piecing for her outfit and use a few scraps of some specialty paper and trimmed them with some flatback pearls; some glitter stickles for her headband and shoes and she was done. I added a ribbon flower I made but she still needed a little something, so some Prima pearls were it.

So tell me how I did with my first Prima Doll and show me yours!

Challenge: Clean and Simple Cards

July 30 - August 5, 2013

Hi everyone!  I've been very brave lately and stepping outside my usual comfort zone on some challenges, but Clean and Simple has always been my go-to style for cards and layouts.  I was so happy when I saw this challenge on the design team schedule :) 

 

I love washi tape, don't you?  I think it took me longer to pick out which washi tapes I wanted to use than to make the whole card.  I used a Paper Smooches stamp set, black ink and some washi tape along with a few dots from a few copic markers....done. 

 

Come on over to Cuttin and Stampin this week and show us your clean and simple creations!  Please make sure your creation post has a link
