Bugaboo Easter at CDAC



This card was inspired by the picture above from today's Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge - IC279 - to use something from Cox & Cox for our inspiration. They have such neat stuff...think I might have to do some shopping...hehe.


I also used this week's SCS Sketch Challenge - SC327 - for my layout.


The little bunny digital is from the Bugaboo Stamps Group at Crafters Digital Art Center - CDAC - for the Embellishment Challenge - cdacec21 - to use your favorite embellishment. Mine happen to be flowers and ribbon.


The inside is stamped Happy Easter all over. This was a very fun card to make. tfl

The sketch is also from CDAC sketch challenge, cdacsc21, which can be found here. I was inspired by today's Splitcoaststampers Free4All challenge, F4A59 - embedded embossing, which is here. tfl

Where's the Sun??????

OMG! It has rained so much here lately...and yesterday we lost power for most of the day because of all the rain and wind! Sure missing FL right now, but I know soon it will be beautiful and we'll be sitting on our deck enjoying the wonderful weather without the humidity of FL. So....for now I've created my own sunshine with this card.
I used 2 challenges for inspiration:
1. Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC96 - found here: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/; and
2. Splitcoaststampers F4A57 - to use sunshine as our inspiration - found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/free-all-f45/f4a57-hello-sunshine-3-25-11-a-t523841.html.

Flowers in Print

Today's Technique Lovers Challenge - TLC317 - was to use newspaper in our creation. I used 4 different flower punches and inked around the edges, crumpled 2 bottom layers, and fluffed the rest after putting them all together with a brad. Cuttlebugged and sanded my core'dinations paper, made the little thank you tag and a little stick pin. First time using the ribbon...been hoarding it...hehe. Isn't it beautiful???!! tfl
