Want To Win A Adorable Pixie Cottage Baby Digi Stamp?

Note: My Wild Flower Patch Post is below this post:)



This weeks Creative Inspirations Blog Challenge is all about Babies and Michelle (the owner of The Pixie Cottage) is sponsoring this weeks prize. The winner of the Creative Inspirations Baby Challenge will receive two adorable baby digi images designed by Lisa Schmidt.



For a chance to win two Pixie Cottage baby digi images, please click here for all of the awesome details posted at the Creative Inspirations Blog.


My image, Baby Blake is colored in with Copic Markers and mounted onto a lg. circular Nesties die that was dry embossed with my Swiss Dots embossing folder. I kept the layout simple because I wanted Baby Blake to be the focal point of my card. I can't remember the brand of design paper I used for this card and can't find my notes. The sentiment is by The Pixie Cottage and the card stocks are Bazzill and Papertrey Ink. The embellishments are ribbon, half pearls and Stickles.

My card also meets the following challenge blog requirements...
Incy Wincy Designs...For The Little One
Daring Cardmakers....Pearls
Meljen's Designs...Dry Embossing
Have a beautiful day and I hope you have a super grand time creating baby cards!

KLSNS #33...Shaped Cards



Hello and Happy Saturday Stampers!

Today's KL Stampin N' Scrapping Challenge kicks off with another great challenge...Shaped Cards! I already know what you are thinking and the possibilities are endless aren't they? *lol*


I ran across a few circular easel cards and decided to make an oval easel card. I wasn't exactly sure how to bring my idea to life but after throwing away a few prototypes, I finally came up with something that I could live with. I just wished that I wrote down the measurements. *sigh*



My adorable image, KiKi with Puppy is one of the many C.C. Designs Stamps that Kelly sells at her on-line store. KiKi is colored in with Copic Markers, cut out and mounted on an Nesties oval die. Because I didn't have any Nestie oval dies that would nestle inside the label 10 die, I had to use my Cricut Expressions to make a custom size oval mat. The lace is machine stitched to the Cricut Expressions oval mats.

For more KLSNS DT inspiration and the official rules, please click here. We also want to thank our growing number of challenge participants. Without you all, these challenges would not be possible! So keep up the great work and I hope to see you all again this week!
