Card Share - Charmaine

Here is a sweet birthday card that Charmaine shared with me. It features Birthday Cup Mouse, and has a very cute sentiment. She also took snippets of the stamp and put them in little flags!

How cute is that?

And of course I love the little bits of glitter and gems. :-)

Here's your badge, Charmaine!

Lisa's Chillin' Out!

Here are a few beautiful cards that I wanted to share with you from our February Guest Designer, Lisa McKinney!  

I have to say that I am SO ready for spring and warmer weather, but the weather outside right now is just frigid and these cards are so darling they fill me with warm smiles!!

It has just been AWESOME having Lisa with us this month!  I hope you've enjoyed seeing her creations as much as I've enjoyed sharing them with you!

Thank You so much, Lisa, for playing along with us!  Your designs are all amazing!

Card Share - Heather

Check out this simple and SPARKLY card by Heather!

 
(she used two of my stamp freebies for this project)

Just the right touch of glitter and bling. :-) Cupcakes always look so yummy with sparkles – it makes them look like they’re drizzled in sugar!

**************************

Our new challenge for you this week is to create an

Artist Trading Card!

Melissa has been making ATC's for quite a while, but for some of us this is a new trend and we are excited to join in on the fun!!

Artist trading cards (commonly referred to as ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" × 3.5"

Here are our samples for you!

Anita

Using "Noah's Ark", "Noah's Loving Elephants" and "Noah's Loving Lions"

Candace

Using "Noah's Ark - Complete Set"

Darsie

Using "Noah's Loving Elephants", "Noah's Loving Giraffes" and "Noah's Loving Lions"

Dee

Using "Noah's Loving Elephants" and "Noah's Loving Giraffes"

Katja

Using "Little Noah", "Noah's Ark", "Noah's Loving Elephants" and "Noah's Loving Lions"

Lauretta

Lisa M.

We are so curious to see your ATC's this week!  Show us what you've got and WOW us with one of the newer papercraft trends!

Card Share – Zulma Santiago

Zulma decided to share this really cute treat holder with me. She told me that this little stamp (A Girl and Her Overalls) reminds her of what she looked like when she was young!

 
I personally love the little gem flower embellishment on the edge with the ‘Just 4 You’ barcode. How cute. :-)

Here's your badge, Zulma!
