BEST FRIENDS

Hi, There!

I missed our QKR challenge last week due to not feeling well - but back for some inspiration this week.  I think this may be a nurse image - not sure.  But either way, she is cute and so is her doll. 

So for our Friday QKR challenge which is always Anything Goes - here they are and so much fun to color up.  Enjoy your weekend and join in the fun if you can!!!  Hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

Card Recipe:
Image - Digital Best Friends Q5301  Sentiment Happiness Q10108
Dies used - Rectangle Stitched frame and distressed with Antique Linen ink
Heart distressed with Spun Sugar ink  Applied Star Dust around the heart and used a 3 D wobble to back of the heart so it has some movement to it when you touch it!  A cord, red card base and paper from SU.  The white behind the card is my envelope - forgot to remove it.

BOHEMIAN GIRL

Hi, There!

Happy Memorial Day!  May God bless our men and women in service around the world and bless and comfort those families of members of the armed services that have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country safe.

I managed - between BBQ's to get one card done - another girlie girl.  Before I started coloring her I looked through my paper stashes and found a paper pad I had called Bohemian Bazaar!  I fell in love with the bright colors so just had to give this image another chance - just because I wanted to color more hair;)  Lol!!

Thanks for stopping by, see you real soon again, hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

YOU'RE PURRR-FECT!

Hi, There!

Hope your week went well - maybe you had a perfect week??  But if not, cheer up as it is Friday!  Yay!  So here is my card inspiration for QKR Stampede's Weekly challenge.  Remember it is always Anything Goes.

This kitty was so different than any other image I have ever seen that I just had to use him on a card.  And I love him because of that!!!  So I embrace our differences and thank God for the unique and special people He has brought into my life!  Thanks for stopping by, hugs and blessings ~  CaroleAnn

Card Recipe
Checkerboard Cat #ES209  Sentiment You're Purrfect Just the Way You Are #Q21004
Used a Stitched Nesting Rectangle Die to frame the Kitty.  Used 3D foam tape on three sides so I could put the tag inside at the top and you can pull it out to read the message.  No coloring needed except I did color in the letters on the tag.

HAVE A SPECTACULAR BIRTHDAY

Hi, There!

Made some birthday cards for donations/and last minute needs;) and just showing them here for today's post.  They are all done from Stampin' Up stamp sets.  Hello Cupcake for image and sentiments, also used one sentiment from Birthday Cheer - "Have a Spectacular Celebration".  The cupcake image has been stamped with Stampin Up inks.  On one cupcake I fussy cut to apply to the card front and used white cording. 

Used Star Dust on the icing of the cupcakes and finished off with my dyed seam binding ribbons.  Thanks for stopping by and next time around I hope to post some girlie-girl images that I have colored.  Hugs and be blessed ~ CaroleAnn

FOR A SPECIAL PERSON

Hi, There!

I have had this image for ages and finally getting around to coloring it up and making a card.  I picked this image out for a special person in my life for her birthday. 

I was captivated by her large eyes and her kitty's eyes too!!!  Love her hair too.  It has been some time since I have colored big hair and big eyes and I have been missing it!!  So I was in my happy zone with this one.  Thanks for stopping by, hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

MISSING YOU!

Hi, There!

It's Friday and so another challenge at QKR Stampede, which is always ATG!

When I first saw this image Q10607, it has a Happy Easter sentiment attached.  But he had a sad face to me so I decided to put him on a missing you trifold card and delete the sentiment.  

So you can get more uses out of your stamps when you look at them differently!  Or was it the mood I was in as I was missing my sister??  LOL  Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my makes!

Hugs and blessings ~ CaroleAnn

I meant to take a photo of inside but ran out of time - sorry.  This photo is what is inside when she opens the front first fold and then once you open this side, inside the center is where my message to her will be written:)

Card Recipe:

Digital Image QKR Stampede Q10607 - Happy Easter Bunny

Missing You Stamp is a wooden stamp with no company on it - must be an oldie but goodie as I found it in one of my go thru boxes and see what I have!!!  Surprises galore!!!  Why buy more stuff with so many surprises that keep cropping up!!!  LOL

Copic Markers  B41 B21 B14  R81 R83 R85  Bunny is fussy cut

DP - Forever Friends/Kraft Notes    Used scraps to make the circle that frames the bunny and a Spellbinder Classic Scalloped Circle die.  Thinking of you is a sticker from 7 Dot Studios.
