Play Time

Good Morning.  Happy Tuesday.  I hope everyone is having a good week.  It is a busy week at work for me.  Yesterday I was on a conf call for 6 1/2 hours. The fall out from it means I will be busy until the next call on Thursday.

Today is a new Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  We have a special theme this week.  We have decided to make a card for a child. All you have to do is to make a card a child would like and use Basic Grey paper.   Kristen posted last week about 2 children who would have their days brightened by some cards.  Ethan who has cancer and is not doing well and Bella, who due to an infection lost all 4 of her limbs.  You can read about them on my earlier post.  I decided to use this image called I didn't do it from Karen's Doodles.  I won the top 3 on her challenge and decided to pick this digi stamp.  I think he is adorable and anyone who has had a puppy knows all too well what they can get in to.

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:


Your Next Stamp Challenge - Buttons - I thought this card really needed something and I found this bone button.  Perfect!

Totally Gorguss - For the Boys - Boys and puppies...they automatically go together.

Just Us Girls - Digital - Karen's Doodles sell both Digi and Rubber.  Mine is the Digi version.

Sweet Stampin - Doodling - I had already layed the small layer when I decided to put the corners on.  I couldn't pull it off to put brads so I decided to draw the lines on them.  Don't know if I like it or not.  I also wanted to add color to the Play Time so I underlined it.

Create for Fun- Sketch.  I think this sketch worked great with my image and papers.

All Sorts - Lace or Buttons - I chose buttons.  I like my Bone button

Lexi's Creations - Something Old - My button, ribbon (both) and brads are all old. 


Magical Crafts - Male Card - I have alot of girl cards to send to Bella so I wanted to make a card to send to Ethan.  I thought a puppy card would be great for an 8 year old boy.

Cupcake Crafts - One for the Boys - I took this literally and since this card is for Ethan it fit the challenge.

Happy Sunday of a long weekend!  Yesterday was nice here most of the day.  We had a few showers in the afternoon.  Today and tomorrow is going to be hot (high 80's).  I have a wedding to go to today.  I hope the AC is working at the reception. 

Today is the Stempeltraume weekly challenge.  The theme this week is swirls.  I decided to use this stamp by Karen's Doodles.  I thought that the vine fit the theme well.  I then used my swirls from Spellbinders.  You should join us.  Swirls is an easy theme!

The other wonderful challenges this fits are:

Karen's Doodles - Stitching - I stitched around the pieces of DP

Just us Girls - Dry Embossing - Remember the days before the embossing folders?  I love embossing and still have alot of stencils.  I embossed the purple CS.

One Stop - Swirls and Pearls - I love both and have my spellbinders swirls and the pearls all over the place

Sweet Stampin - Pimp your card -Lots of embellishments and bling - I have pearls everywhere on this card and lots of glitter.

Polka Doodles - Sew Sew - I faux stitched around both pieces of DP

Truly Scrumptious - Sketch.  I really liked this sketch when I saw it and thought if I turned it on it's side it would work with this.

Quixotic - Emboss it! I embossed the purple paper using my cuttlebug dot folder

Totally Gorjuss - Wings - I cut out and glittered the wings on the butterfly and did the same for the bee

One Stitch at a Time - Something New.  My new is the DP.  I went to a convention a couple of weeks ago and bought this Melissa Francis paper.  It is beautiful.


Thank you for visiting me.  Thanks to everyone who leaves comments.  They make my day and I love reading them.
