Spring has sprung here in Southern Ontario and everywhere you look there are blossoms unfolding!! So to celebrate Spring our challenge this month is all about FLOWERS!!! You can use floral papers, stamps that incorportate flowers, or floral embellies--just as long as you have a flower somewhere on your card/project feel free to join in the fun.

This month I used Crissy's brand new image called "Nose to Nose", which you can find at Whimsy Stamps!! I adore this image so much I had to colour it three times and in different sizes!! I do apologize for poor picture quality--for whatever reason my camera just doesn't love monochrome artwork.

Here's my first card...

A closer look at the artwork...

And the inside...

Challenge #16: Elaine's Turn

Firstly, apologies!  My post is a bit late this month - brain like a sieve!

As you probably already know, the challenge this month is Spring Is In The Air (or baby cards), and Crissy has the most adorable new spring-themed images available as digis through Whimsy Stamps.  I've used two of the new images on my card today - MEADOW BACKGROUND and LILLY FILLY.  Love how the images merge together and I had SO much fun colouring them in.

I used Crissy's card as a reference when I was considering how to colour Lilly Filly.  I love Crissy's colouring, and studying her coloured images has been a big help over the past couple of years in developing my own skills!  I also followed Annika's sky tutorial to create the sky.

I coloured the image with Copics.  Papers are Echo Park Springtime 12x12.  I coloured the ribbon using a Copic marker to match my coloured image and tied the bow with the Bow-Easy template.  The gorgeous chipboard corners and butterfly are from the Make It Crafty Fine Swirls lasercut chipboard pack, and I painted them with Twinkling H20s.

OVER TO YOU!  If you haven't joined in the challenge yet, I hope you will!  All the challenge rules are over in the sidebar, and you can link up your project using Inlinkz on Sarah's post from earlier in the month.

Challenge #16: Melanie's Turn

I sure hope spring stays in the air...we had snow earlier this week in Southwestern Ontario! I do love winter, but I am ready for warmer weather and sunshine to set it. I love hearing the birds out chirping in the trees, and it's so nice to let some fresh air into the house. It's my turn today to share a card today, and we have two options for your challenge theme this month..."Spring" or "Baby" themed projects!

For my card today, I used two of Crissy's newest digital images from Whimsy Stamps..."Meadow Background" and "New Chickie". I merged the images together before printing them out on Neenah cardstock. The paper is from October Afternoon.



We'd love to have you play along with us. You can link your project up on Sarah's post from the beginning of the month, HERE. (just look for the Inlinkz button at the end of her post) All rules for entering challenges at Sundays With Crissy can be found in the sidebar of the challenge blog.

Spring with Chris

Wow will winter ever end and will it ever be spring...Not here in NY I think.... It's so nice to have some adorable and pretty images for Spring to use!  Hope you can join us for the challenge this month!  Crissy has so many fun images that are available as digis or rubber.


My first creation uses the darling Newborn Joon  and the Meadow background available at Whimsy Stamps and illustrated by Crissy.  Isn't he just darling?

He was so fun to color and so adorable, that I just had to create a gift set with him for my next creation.
