Today has been my lucky day! I won Lacey's candy from the ABC for Christmas blog hop. The prize is Mooshie Steals a Kiss.
I've been working on the digistamps for my August download-a-day, and I wanted to play with one of them. This is a little bear with stitching around him. I added some sewing with red, white, and blue thread around the image. I used gold letter stickers (making memories) to spell out Happy Birthday. I added red Stickles to the bear's tummy and ears and some red flower rhinestones.
The challenge this week at The Crazy Challenge is to create a card in one hour. This really motivated me. I used the retro tulip image available at Squigglefly and a sentiment from Raindrop Echo Designs - this weeks freebie at Sentimental Sundays.
This is my last post for tonight. What a fun day I had!
It's been a busy day in the craft room today. Stay tuned for more cards and scroll down for additional posts today. I love Saturdays!
This great mermaid image by Fanyella is available as a freebie at I Did it Creations Challenge Blog. They have great blog candy this week as well!
This great image is available as a freebie from Anne Bodil. I was inspired by the Strawberries and Cream challenges that are happening this week. I colored her with my watercolor pencils and added some Stickles. I added a Merry Christmas stamp that I had in my stash.
This great image "Lil Behind" by Stitchy Stamps is available as a freebie on the I Did It Forum. I used word art from Create with TLC. The pink flower paper is from Kate Knight and the black paper is from moda for Daisy D's. I used pink organdy ribbon around the image.
I made this tag using some paper that I found on my craft table. I used leftover lacy stickers that I found in my sticker book. I used an inkadinkado stamp with Stickles and pink glitter glue.
I "won" this cute little bear image, All Star word art (I added the Happy Birthday), and digipapers from Create with TLC. Paulette announced a new kit and the first 6-ish visitors got to download it for free! I just love these images and papers for boy cards. I glittered the star, hat, and bug with my new Stickles (yellow) and some glitter I had. The ribbon came from my stash.
This card features Essie the Kitty. She's a new digistamp (available for free in August) that I made as a friend for Posy. The stickers are from Creative Memories. The green paper is from DCVW's Glitter Stack.
The challenge this week at Scrapping with I Did It Creations is green and brown. I used Green: The New Black by JMT-art. I added some bright color accents to my green and brown. This page is of Peanut and Daddy playing hide and seek.
So, I love the free Bentley Bear stamps that came wit Cardmaking and Paper craft. They're just too cute. It may be hard to see but this one is holding a little chick. I colored him with my watercolor pencils. 
This is a little girl I call Posy. She'll be available during my free digi-a-day in August. I wanted to try drawing chibi and this was my final result. I used a little sentiment from inkadinkado. I really like the message. 
This little card almost caused a catastrophe in the craft room. The top to my blue glitter came off as I was squeezing it on the band. There was glitter glue everywhere! Luckily, I was able to salvage the card. 
When I saw this image from Create with TLC, I knew that it would be perfect for the Christmas Song Challenge at I Did It Creations Forum. I had fun decorating the Christmas tree.
This is a new digistamp creation of mine - Angie Ballerina (named after my dance teacher). Look for it free during August, when I'm trying to create a download a day! It's hard to see, but there's a small happy birthday! tag at the bottom. This is from the Bentley Bears free stamps with the June issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft (really wishing a I lived in the UK with this great magazine)!
Glitterbabe, a.k.a. Stef, is having a DT call for her new challenge blog. She is one of the nicest, most supportive people I've met in blog land. 
The Secret Crafter has a great freebie contest every Friday. This week it's this cute stamp - Mollie Sitting.
Okay, this is my last post for tonight! I love this great Santa freebie and papers from Create with TLC. I had so much fun with this card and the non-traditional Christmas colors.
One of my favorite things about the I Did It Creations Challenge is the digistamp freebies with each challenge. This week it's Little Joey from Trees Award.
The Simon Says Stamp challenge this week is Pirates. Martine has a great freebie available on her blog (the first two circles and the striped paper are from the freebie). Create with TLC (Paulette) had the great island freebie on her blog. I saw the card fold in Cardmaker magazine (June issue) and wanted to try it.

I found this fun Hawaiian shirt stamp at the dollar store. I used a great sentiment from Raindrop Echo Designs.
I had a lot of fun making my first paper pieced card. Peanut helped with the glitter! The image is hot cocoa from Robyn's Fetish Designs. The glitter paper is from my Red and White MiniKit
This week at Pixie Dust Studio Challenge (#26) is "What does Twilight mean to you?" I really loved all the books and finally got around to watching the first two movies last month. I loved them both. I really like the romance in the books and the fact that Bella is an ordinary girl. 
This great little stamp is available as the freebie for the I Did It Creations Challenge. It's "Ted Bringing Home Tree" by Crafty Pad stamps. I used the sketch from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (#57). 
This is a new digistamp that I created. I call her Princess Amy. You'll be able to download her for free in August during my digistamp-a-day download.
This little cutie is available as a freebie from Motivet stamps. They're sponsoring the Friday Sketchers Challenge #106, where I'm entering this card.
The Crafty Pad is having a Mega Challenge. I used the rest of the great cupcake stamp set to make my card. I really love this set! The paper and embellishment are from my stash.
Okay, this is my last post for tonight! I used a snowman and present stamps from a "Stamp-a-Christmas" box set that I'd bought at a bookstore several years ago. I just don't have many Christmas stamps! I drew the tree in using my new watercolor pencils (which I used to color all the cards tonight). I made glitter snow for the ground.
I fell in love with these cute cupcake stamps by The Crafty Pad. I think they scream for pink and glitter! The cupcake and the "Thank You" are part of the stamp set. The gingham paper is from Creative Memories. The flower paper is the freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft. The flowers are from Dress it Up's Dragonflies and Ladybugs. The pearls and blue paper are from my stash.
I love this freebie image for the Sassy Design Studio's DT call. She looks like she's thinking something mischievous. I used studio g rhinestone flowers and papers from my stash.
This image is Spa Day by Sassy Design Studios. It's available as a freebie in the store! I used yellow prima flowers, Kaiser scrapbook rhinestones, and papers from my stash.
This is the "Umbrella and Boots" digistamp from Glitterbabe. It's one of the two stamps that I won from I Did It Creations Challenge. I think it's just too cute.
I got new watercolor pencils and this is my first project. The pencils are so much fun!
This week's challenge at Scrap it With a Song is "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." I chose some pictures of Peanut playing in the fountain. Two and three quarters is a wonderful age! She's so full of joy and truly lives in the moment.
