It's a Birthday Bash at Crafting by Designs

Hi everyone, Doris here with
a brand new challenge at Crafting by Designs.
It's a Birthday challenge!
I don't know about you, but I have LOTS of birthdays to celebrate
in June, so I like to keep lots of birthday cards in my stash.
 
Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Sami Stamps
to make a project to share with you today.
 
 
 

 
I couldn't get a picture in some natural light so the colors look
a little funny to me, but this was such a fun image to color.
I added some stickles to the shamrock and it just pops off the page.
 
I hope you'll join us with a birthday project for your chance
to win a $12 voucher to Sami's Etsy store.
Go HERE to enter your project before June 17.

A Pocket Page for Father's Day

Hi everyone, Doris here to share a few
quick filler cards I made for a pocket page layout.
Even though the Authentique Anchored paper line
has a nautical theme, the papers worked great for this layout.
This picture is from my daughter Amy's wedding this past
December during the father/daughter dance.
My husband was just dreading this part of the wedding,
and they both got emotional as soon as the music started.
How could it be that she was all grown up
and not the little girl who used to hold his hand?
Where's my tissue?
I used three images from the Silhouette store for
the layout to keep the cards flat - I love that mason jar!


This layout took no time at all - hope you like it!
Head on over to Cuttin' and Stampin' to enter your
Father's Day projects for a chance to win
some lovely crafty goodies !

June Anything Goes Challenge

Hi everyone, Doris here with a
new challenge at Crafting by Designs:
June Anything Goes!
We have three great sponsors and
I've made two cards to share with you.
 
This first card was made
using My Heart Pieces - I Love You 1
from Stitchy Bear.
 
 
I did some paper piecing with this image and printed it on some
blue velumn for the base, colored the fish with some
Copics and stickles, and paper pieced
the fancy paper straw and strawberry.  Then I
wanted a fruity drink with a fancy straw and strawberry :)
 
 This next little card was made
using Old Pump from
Beccy's Place
 I chose this image because I have a water pump like
this on my patio that I just love.
 
Hop on over to Crafting by Designs and enter your
Anything Goes projects for your
chance to win some crafty goodness from one of
our three sponsors!

This was such an awesome paper line to work with!
I kept this card very clean and simple and
added just a bit of red/white bakers twine for
a pop of color.  Later in the week I'll share
a pocket page layout using this paper line
as well.
