I love this image By Nina at PaperCupcakes, "Cute as a Bunny" This will make a great Easter Card. I played with this digi to enter it into her weekly Challenge: this weeks is a color challenge, Pink, Green, Yellow

Happy Butterfly Day!!!! OK I know there is no special day for Butterflies, but there should be, they are beautiful, a sure sign of summer and sadly this gift from nature only has a lifespan of about one month. Last week Card Ideas Blog, by the designers of D2D had a Create Your Holiday Challenge , I missed the deadline for my butterfly card so I created this card for the Dotty Challenge, and used my butterflies. This gorgeous image by Faith at Designed2Delight, Spotty Dotty Watering Can fit my dotty theme very well. My sketch is from Simon Says Challenge, (All blogs to the right)

I love it when I can do two things at one time!!!! Plus use up old stash! When I saw this digi by Deedee I knew I would use it on a layout for my youngest twin. Growing up he loved clowns, and at the age of 17 he still thinks they are pretty cool. Both of my twins had stuffed clowns when they were babies. My youngest twin called his "Clownie" and took it everywhere, when his Clownie was no longer functional he took his brothers which was almost new.

This is the only photo I have where all 4 of my children are genuinely smiling. I thought this digi set was perfect for this photo layout. Now to find something for my other three so maybe I could get 4 old photos put away....

Challenges: Deedee's Happy Monday--Create Something for a Child

This is Rest UP digi by Deedee. This puppy is so cute. I purchased some new Copic Markers and couldn't wait to play with the new colors. The sketch is from Deedee's also but I rotated it, my tag is a pull out and the inside states, Rest Up, have a relaxing day.

My DP is by Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses and Euphoria Luster. I recycled the black lace from an old summer top and the button is from one of my moms sweaters.

I really had fun with this challenge. I rarely decorate the inside of my cards, but this new toy by Inky Antics will have me decorating every inside of a card. I love the surprise pop up effect.

Isn't this digi great!!! I adore chocolate and Starbucks and if I binge I wonder why I cant lose weight! Donuts by Glitterbabe, how appropriate for this challenge. Colored with copics, and with Glitterbabe Digis you can never add enough glitter! I use red, pink and diamond stickles. Dry embossing was by my CuttleBug Dots folder, ribbon and button along with paper from stash.
