From the Heart - September Digi and Challenge #80

Hello friends - hope you are having a terrific day!

Somehow the weekend just blew right by me as if I was standing still.

I got a lot done - but now I'm realizing what I didn't get done and 

I have to go back to work tomorrow - Boo! I think the work week 

should be 4 days and we should get 3 off (1 extra day to craft) - hehe.

In any event... I have a card to share with you today 

using the September stamp of the month called "Flappy Birthday"

for the From the Heart progressive challenge - hope you like it!

In looking at my card a revelation about my cardmaking skills

popped into my head.  I use a lot of bright colors in my creations!

(This was really more of a no-brainer than a revelation).

They just make me feel happy, happy, happy!

Oh... and I LOVE cute images such as these ;o)

Do you have a "signature" style of any sort?

I am entering this in the following challenges:

I {heart} sketches #80 w/twist (I didn't use the twist)

The Alphabet Challenge - Q for Quadruple (use 4 of something)

I used 4 panels of dsp on my card.

Super DAD! - MTTC Challenge #251 - DL card

Hello everyone! Are you as happy as I am that that it's the weekend?

Well it's time for a new challenge at My Time to Craft Challenges.  

We have gone to a fortnightly format for the summer to allow both us and you 

more time to get your crafty projects submitted while still enjoying the weather, 

vacations, yard work...etc. Believe it or not...I love to do yard work :o)

The MTTC Challenge #251 is "Make it a DL card.

I had no idea what a DL sized card was. 

So I went right out and googled it on Ask.com.

Hey, that's what I do when I need to help my kids with homework :o). 

For those of you who also don't know what a DL card is, it's long and skinny 

and the measurements are 4.4 x 8.8 inches (4 1/4 x 8 3/4).

Here's what I made for my kids to give my husband on Father's Day:

Digital Image "Super Birdbrain" - From the Heart

I got this awesome digital image by participating in the 

From the Heart Free Digi Monthly Challenges.

Each month you participate in the challenge, you get a FREE digital image

 to use for the next month's challenge.  This image is called "Super Birdbrain". 

I knew as soon as I saw it that it would be perfect for my husband's Father's Day card.

Not to worry - he won't see this before Sunday.  He's very supporting (tolerant)

of my card making obession - but doesn't follow my blog (shame on him - lol). 

I think I also need to make a different one for my own wonderful Super Dad.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week #215 - It's for the Birds

From the Heart - June Digital Stamp of the Month Challenge

Papertake Weekly - For the Boys

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #181 - Anything Goes

My wonderfully talented DT pals over at MTTC have also made some jaw-dropping

beautiful creations to share with and inspire you to play along with us this fortnight

for MTTC Challenge #251 - Make it a DL.

Please go visit them and take a little "look-see" at what they've done.

Leave them a little love if you feel so inclined too :o)

I hope that you will decide to join us this week - I can't wait to see what you've made! 

Til next time friends and followers...hugs and happy crafting!
