Spring is in the Air at Crissy's!

Hi Everyone,

I hope you can forgive me! I realised at the very last minute - well actually late - that it was time for my post at Sundays with Crissy!! I've been so busy I knew what day it was but forgot the date! Are we seriously in April already??? hehee

So it's 4am here, I have JUST finished my card and I am going to warn you right now... I am RUSTY!!! So don't expect too much. hehee I got all my lighting wrong and then I started to get tired and by the time it came to creating a layout I was like... argh just stick it down Zoe! lol

I felt so bad that I wasn't able to join the blog hop last week so I thought it would be nice to create my 'Spring is in the Air' project using 'Heartfelt Angel' from the collection raising funds for the Japan relief effort which I combined with 'Meadow Background'.

The papers are from KaiserCraft. I really love this collection with the muted tones and little accessories.

Here is a close up

All coloured with copics. I thought I would try Annika's sky, who in fact even created a video recently showing you how easy it is!

I am sorry I didn't keep a list of colours this time. The blue dress from memory was BG000, 02, 05, Hair was E70, 71, 74, sorry that's all I remember!



I hope you have been well and are happily crafting until your hearts content.

Spring Is In The Air/Babies - Jodi's turn

Can you believe we are already getting ready to celebrate Easter very soon? Time really just flew by since we celebrated the start of a new year. This month's challenge is SPRING or Babies! That means you are able to create anything with these themes. Crissy has created the cutest and sweetest digital images just perfect for the challenge. The image I have used is called Bunny with Flowers.

I love that he can be used for Easter but also for any other occasion. Be sure to get your new digital images from Crissy at Whimsy Stamps! Don't forget that you don't have to use an image created by Crissy, you can use any other image and still be included in the draw for the prize. But if you use an image from Crissy you will be added to the drawing twice. You can also participate in only up to 3 entries with each challenge per month otherwise your entries could be deleted.

Be sure to upload you creation on this posting HERE. Have a great day!!

Digi Spotlight & Annika's Card

Happy Saturday!! It's time to showcase Crissy's newest images for April!! It's all about babies this month with a little bit of spring thrown in!! To start off our post we want to show you what our fabulous new DT Member, Annika Ryan, has done with one of Crissy's new images!! Isn't this card ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Annika for playing along this month and WELCOME TO THE TEAM!!!

Here's a little about Annika Ryan...

I had managed to sail through 36 years of my life without any inclinations towards crafting and in firm knowledge that cutting a straight line is physically impossible and therefore pure myth. Then I got pregnant second time, had a sudden idea to make some cards and bought a guillotine. The rest is history.

Now, to show you what's been jumping off Crissy's drawingboard just for you!!!

"Bunny With Flowers"

"Hello World"

"Lilly Filly"

"Meadow Background"

"New Chickie"

"Newborn Joon"

"Sweet Babies"

Thanks for stopping in to take a look!!! If there are any images that catch your eye just click on them and you will be taken directly to the Whimsy Stamps website where you can find out how to order and download Crissy's images.

Have a blessed day!!

Hugs,

Sarah☺

Stitching~~ Mary Lou's Turn

Hi~~Hope you are all having a great Spring!!!!
   Did you see Crissy's new digi's and stamps, they are just the sweetest!!!!!

I used Crissy's digi's Sweet Sarah and Can I Kiss You

My--they are darling together!!!

Now... now... I have to tell you that I have NEVER sewn on a card before.  So I decided to give the faux sew technique a try :)  Used a template for the wall vine and free handed the beaded circle.  I was so impressed with myself that I even did a faux border on the inside of card LOL~~I am sure that those of you who do sew and are reading this are probably giggling away by now--someday friends I will machine sew cuz I just love the outcome!!

For more details please visit my blog: Mary Lou's Corner

You still have a few more days--actually 5 :)--to enter your creation!!
Hope you are ready to give this a try :)  Are you a machine stitcher, hand stitcher, do you like the new sew easy tool or a faux stitcher like me.  We would LOVE to see what you create........ and then link your creation to This Post.
~~~God Bless~~~

Stitching-Melanie's Turn

Good afternoon lovely blogging friends! Today is my turn to share a card here at Sundays With Crissy, and I am absolutely in love with the challenge this month...Stitching!! I tend to add machine stitching to most of my cards. Now, if the thought of using a sewing machine on your project does not appeal to you, your stiching can also be done by hand...or it can even be faux stitching!!

The digital stamp I chose to work with today is Crissy Armstrong's "Maya Making Wishes" available at Whimsy Stamps. Crissy captures the sweet innocence of childhood so beautifully in this image...do you remember making wishes on dandelions? Sometimes as adult, I think we forget how to find joy in life's small moments and simple pleasures. :)

For details on products and techniques used on my card (including a list of Copics used), please feel free to visit my blog, Paper Blessings.
