Crafting When We Can Challenge #53~Seasons~


As promised, here is my first post as a DT for CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN CHALLENGES.
The theme for Challenge #53 is SEASONS.
We want to see how you illustrate Seasons either with an image, colours, items, sentiment etc.

Our wonderful Sponsor is the talented Krista from

I used the fabulous Picnic digi.  


Summer for me, is picnics with Family and Friends, Bright colors and flowers. So I started with a flower shaped card I created with my Cricut. I colored the image with my SN Markers and cut it out with the circle die from Spellbinders. I highlighted the embossed edge with my stardust marker.


The sentiment is from Create with TLC and layered on a fabric flower from My Mind's Eye. All the cardstock is from American Crafts. I finished it with resin flower from Close to My Heart Stamps and paper flowers from recollections. The pearls are from my stash.

I hope you join us in this challenge this week and be sure to stop my teamies to see what special treats they created for you this week!

Beary Special- {Pin}sperational Challenge #74

It's time for another Challenge over at
Here's our {Pin}sperational Photo this week: 


We have two wonderful sponsors this week:
Prize: 7 Images 
 &
Prize: 5 Digi's to winner
I had the pleasure to work with Butterfly Friend from Stamp Art Design By Kathryne.
 Here's what I came up with: 
I colored the image twice with SN markers and layered it onto the base card. The sentiment is also from Stamp Art Design By Kathryne.
I love the soft colors of this card~ Pink and grey are one of my favorite color Combos. They just go so well together! The DP is Floral Fantasy by Louise Tiler and the CS is Glitter Cardstock from DCWV.
I used a lot of punches on this Easel Card. MS Punch Around the Page- Vintage Floral for the top Base and also added a  layer on the bottom card. The largest Square Swatch from Spellbinders that the image was layered onto.

 Cheery Lynn Designs Exotic Butterfly Dies, EK Tools Butterfly Punch and Marvy Mini Butterfly Punch were used for the Butterfly Embellishments.
I used a soft grey lace, light pink pearls and flowers to finish off the card.
This is a great card for that "Beary Special" Someone! ;o)
Hugs & Happy Craftin'!
