Challenge #18:Here Comes The Sun With Michele

Hi Everyone, It's Michele here today to visit with you! I am so excited to show you my Creation, as she is a new Digi from Crissy for this month and the name is Sandy and can be found at Whimsy Stamps !
This month our challenge theme is "Here Comes The Sun". You may interpret that any way you wish, and create a card, scrapbook layout, or other paper craft using either rubber or digi stamps.
I had a cute sun sticker in a pack of paper that I thought was a perfect match to go on my "Sun" card theme, I had a blast coloring "sandy" with my Copic Markers, and if you would like more details on my card then please pop over to my blog here

Now on to the Blog Candy Details:

Why don't you get creating and show us your Sun themed cards!! There will be five free digi's given to one lucky challenge participant who will be chosen by Random.org at the end of the month!

Challenge #18: Here Comes The Sun!

Hi Peeps!  Crissy here filling in for Sarah who is taking this month off.  Thanks for all you do on here Sarah! You're the bestest!
This month our challenge theme is "Here Comes The Sun".  You may interpret that any way you wish, and create a card, scrapbook layout, or other paper craft using either rubber or digi stamps.  You can see that on my card, the sun is implied.  :-)  But just for fun I added a sunflower charm.   I kept this card clean and simple -- a very rare thing for me to do! It certainly makes Cranston Crab front and center.  Cranston is a brand new digi I am releasing through Whimsy Stamps today (June 1).  He is super easy to colour up, so he's great for fast and easy cards.  If you want more details (like Copic colour list) you can check it out on my personal blog, Crissy's Art 'n Heart.  
Now here's the blurb about the blog candy details: 

Why don't you get creating and show us your Sun themed cards!! There will be five free digi's given to one lucky challenge participant who will be chosen by Random.org at the end of the month!

Otherwise your entries could be deleted.

Usually on the first Sarah posts the Artist's Choice Awards as well as the winner of last month's challenge blog candy (five of my digi's).  But this month because of extenuating circumstances, the Artist trophy winners and the blog candy winners will be announced by early next week.  Please be patient with us as we work out the necessary details.
Be sure to revisit this blog all month long so that you can see the eye candy my DT has prepared for you to enjoy!  We will have a new post every few days or so.  Enjoy the sun people!!
And now, over to you! I hope you have fun playing our challenge!!

Challenge #17 - Flowers with Maria






Hiya Peeps and Happy Victoria Day weekend to our Canadian families and friends! Challenge #17 at Sundays with Crissy is all about FLOWERS.  I've made a flower pot pocket card featuring Crissy's adorable digi, Bunny with Flowers.

Here's an outside view of the pocket card. 

Here's a view of the outside of the card plus taaadaaa the insert with the Bunny digi.  This bunny is so versatile and can be used for soooo many occasions.  The insert alone could also be used as a bookmark.  My girls have birthday parties coming up and some of their friends like reading books so this would be perfect.  Of course this could also be a 'just because' card too and I love that I can insert something extra into the pot.

For more details on the card, please visit Maria's Studio.


Sooooo what are you waiting for!  Add some flowers to your projects and then pop on over to THIS BLOG POST to enter your creation by May 31st!

Hugs,
Maria
