DeNami Design Theme Challenge #3 - Birthdays!

It's time for another DeNami Design Challenge, and this time around the theme is BIRTHDAYS! Click HERE to see how you can play along! Here's what I came up with:

If you've followed my blog for awhile, you know that I LOVE to dress up this CHICKIE from DeNami Design! And it just so happens that this little crown and wand from "Spunky Princess" by Unity were the perfect size to accessorize her this time around!

The "Stacked Presents" are also from DeNami Design. I thought they made the perfect pedestal for this sweet little princess! I paper pieced them with some fun patterned paper and then used my Copics and my Clear Stardust Gelly Roll to color and add sparkle to the curly ribbons!

I'm planning to give this card to my friend's little girl who will be celebrating her 2nd birthday in September!

Thanks for stopping by! If you haven't already, be sure to head on over to the DeNami Design Blog to participate in this challenge! It's so much FUN and, let's face it, you can NEVER have too many birthday cards on hand! I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!

EBTKS Challenge #12 - String

Hello! It's a beautiful, sunshiney day here in the mountains of Colorado! Today I have two cards to show you. The first is my take on the latest "Everything But The Kitchen Sink (EBTKS) Challenge," which requires the use of string. Click HERE for the challenge details (there's still time to play along)!

This card was really simple to put together. I used a scalloped notecard from the Yours Truly line at Archivers. I chose three bright colors of floss and wrapped them in a pattern around the notecard. The little scalloped notches hold the floss in place. Then, I finished it off with layers of punch-outs from my "Fresh Print Cherry" tablet (Deja Views). Simple. No stamping on this one (first time EVER, I think...wink!)! I left the card blank so that I can use it for any occasion (birthday, thank you, anniversary, etc.).

What do you think?

I also wanted to show you another card that I made for the auction at my friend's school.

This one uses a sentiment and the "Large Chickie" image from DeNami Design. Isn't he so stinkin' cute? I love how you can dress him up for different holidays, celebrations, seasons!! I made the hat from a scrap piece of patterned paper (SEI) and topped it with a little pom-pom that I had leftover from a craft I did with my students. I cut the cupcake from a piece of patterned paper in "The Sweet Matstack" (Die Cuts With A View). I used my Copic markers to add some shading and color to Mr. Chickie!
