Daisy Doodles - "Keep It Simple" Challenge

The new challenge over at Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges Blog is "Keep It Simple".  We were challenged to do a card using only one (1) embellishment.  I love the Clean and Simple Cards myself.  With Fall fast approaching I am  finding myself working on Fall cards.  It is getting cooler here... but beautiful weather right now.  50's at night and 70's during the day.  How perfect is that?  Anyway I felt the urge to hang on to Summer a little longer... LOL.  I chose the "Hammock" image from Daisy Doodles Summer Set for my card this time.

I have used this image several times.  You can find this image as well as many others at Daisy's Digi Doodles Store.  This time I did it a little differently.  I have been watching the videos at Gina K.'s Stamp TV and cased one of her simple Christmas cards.  (I've been casing her a lot lately) Very easy!

Supplies Used:

White Card Base ... Black Cardstock ... Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder ... Black Ribbon ... $1 Clear Stamp for Sentiment  ... Prisma Pencils ... OMS

Stop by and visit the rest of the DT blogs to see their cards.  You can find them in the left sidebar here on my blog.

Just a reminder about some other things going on this month.  There is a challenge (Open Theme) at the Daisy's Digi Doodles Forum with a nice prize.  And also a contest to Design A Badge. Details are here.  And Store Specials for the month.

D2D - "Cat's Meow"

The image this week from Faith at Designed 2 Delight is called "Cat's Meow".  And the challenge at "Double Delight" is Summer Colors.

I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils and meant for him to be a little darker but it's OK..LOL.  Everything but the flowers cam from my stash.  I used CS...DP...Stickles...Scribbles... Paper Glaze and a buckle punch.  The flower I crocheted using DMC Embroidery Floss.

Go over to Delightful Inspiration and get in on the challenge.  It is a progressive challenge and starts over at the beginning of the month so now is a good time.  

Thanks for coming by :)

Knickerbocker Glory

This image is another of Daisy Doodles.  It is called "Knickerbocker Glory" and has a sentiment with it.  Before I show you my card I have to tell you that I was calling it the ice cream image.  Miss Daisy told me that there was no way I could get it until I called it by it's right name.  Well, I have to tell you that knickerbocker was new to me.  Around these parts it is a sundae or parfait.  But regardless of what you call it..it's a pretty awesome image and you can get it at Daisy's Digi Doodles.            


Anyway here is my card:

I decided that it is my knickerbocker and it can be any flavor I want and I want strawberry with chocolate syrup..lol   It doesn't show real well in the picture but I used a snow writer for the whipped cream and paper glaze over the glass.  I embossed the brown cardstock with a CB folder and added pink scribbles to the circles.  The paper was from my scrap basket.... I think K & Company.  Now I want to run right straight to Baskin and Robbins and get a great big Hot Fudge Sundae.  I think I'll ask for Knickerbocker Glory and see what happens...lol.

More Summer Fun with Daisy Doodles and a freebie

I love Miss Daisy's "Summer Fun" set.  This is the 2nd time I have used this image and probably not the last.

When I found this quote I had to generate a sentiment  for this image.  You can find this set at Daisy's Digi Doodles Store as well as many others.  She has some new ones so go and have a look.  And don't forget about the contest for the name that stamp on Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges Blog.

If you like this sentiment just left click for a larger image and right click to save.  I hope you can use it.....ENJOY!!!!

mmmmmm.....

                                    ............................. fresh strawberries!
These images make me want to run right straight to the Farmer's Market and buy Strawberries.

I printed these out directly on my card base and colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.  You can't see it very well in the picture but I scored lines on each card and then used an EK Success Border Punch.  I love what I call stand alone images that are pretty enough on their own without embellishments.  I just love clean and simple and these images from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff at mygraphico really fit the bill.  These are from Lindsay's new set "Strawberries and Watermelon".  I really like notecards and when I saw these they screamed notecard to me.  I plan on making a set of these .... I'm thinking they would be a really nice set bundled and tied with a pretty red ribbon.

It's Thursday so that means the DT have all posted projects that are sure to inspire you.  Starting with Lindsay's be sure and visit each one to see what that have come up with.
