Graphicat Creations May Challenge Sketch

For this month Cheri is showcasing some new yummy tropical drink stamps.  You can view all of them and other fabulous sentiments at:

Graphicat Designs 

I've chosen to use digi "I've Never Met a Margarita I Didn't Like".....true story too!! The limes I used are from Jolee's and I think it may be the first time I ever used them on my cards but they were just too cute!!  I added some Twinklettes to the rim of my glass and it looks sooooooo tasty IRL!!  I also used Tim Holtz's "Bitty Grunge" stamp to make it look like some rays of sunshine are coming from behind the drink.  It looked so blah with just the plain orange cardstock.  Love that set.  Thanks Cheri!

We'd love to see you join the challenge this month and here's May's sketch:

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #96

 MY FAVORITE THINGS

This week at MDUC it's all about YOUR favorite things.  Pull out your favorite papers, your favorite Magnolia image, your favorite embellishments and craft up a storm!!  

These are a few of MY favorite things:

NUMERO UNO: Being a twin

THEN: pink, feathers, flowers, distressing, butterflies, glitter and bling.

Hey can you tell where I got the design paper that is layered behind the twins??  If you own a Magnolia you own this paper.  It's the paper that comes in the pack with your Maggie's.  I stamped it with my Magnolia "Swedish Heart" and then distressed it.  Once again I hand made those flowers and as soon as I can find the tutorial I'll pass it along.  They are so easy!

So join us will you!!  All the details are at MDUC blog and check out all the other ladies inspiration!!! 

Stamps:  Magnolia "Twins", Swedish Heart, Love Background
Paper:  Melissa Frances "5th Avenue"
Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, Melissa Frances Vintage Keyholes, Michael's Recollections glitter flourishes, misc feather, Bo Bunny Gabrielle butterfly, Bazzill heart chipboard, Prima Pebbles, Stardust Stickles, misc lace and doily.

CLP BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!

Today we are celebrating CLP's birthday and sending congratulations for being a challenge blog for one full year!  Looking forward to inspirations for the second year and so happy to be a part of it!!  So to celebrate we're having a blog hop full of pure gorgeousness!

One random blog hopper will have $30 to spend at Gurlee Girl Craft store!  Make sure you make your rounds for a higher chance of becoming the winner!! 

For my first challenge with CLP, not only have I used the absolutely gorgeous sketch that Chelsea has given us but paired it up with a Belles 'n Whistles Stamp.  They are generously sponsoring this month's challenge so I decided to use this little cutie called "Smile". 

I've jam packed my card so full of goodness and I've almost covered up the sketch but I promise you all the pieces are there.  LOL!!

Here's the sketch for May so would love to see you join us!  You have a whole month and any stamp can be used to qualify!  How easy is that?!! 

The blog hop starts today and ends May 6th at midnight.  If you are just joining now and would like to go to the beginning click here:
