Friday Fun-Where am I?

This weeks challenge was to create a card with Earth Day in mind and to use something "natural" on it, a tree, flower, something nature related.  Don't all faint, I actually made a Clean and Simple card for this one, and I LOVE IT!

I will be making this card at my Card Blitz on May 1 to support Operation Write Home.  I think it will appeal to men looking for cards to send home.

InStyle Stamps

I am happy to announce that  I am now part of the InStyle Stamps Promotional Team.  I will be working with the images you can get exclusively in retail stores.  If you don't have any of these stamps, YOU NEED THEM.  You can get red rubber stamps for 50% off while supplies last from the ISS store.  Several lines are now only available in rubber sold in retail stores while you can order digital images directly from ISS.

These samples used the Princess Clarissa digital image.  Isn't she adorable?  I fell in love as soon as I saw her.  Are you surprised?  Haha, of course not.  Notice the auburn hair too :)

Royal Kat Monday - Pop Dragon

Happy Monday!!  It's new release week at Queen Kat Designs and we have a great sketch to work with so I hope you have hopped here from Wynneth's blog, if not, you will want to start at the beginning at the Queen Kat Designs Blog so you don't miss a thing.

Here is the sketch we have to work with this week:

And this is my take on it:

 Isn't Pop Dragon ADORABLE?  We have been blowing a lot of bubbles around here this week with all the great weather.  My girls LOVE bubbles, so I really wanted to capture the essence of the bubbles with this card.  I love the circles in this background paper and rather than flowers I added some ghost bubbles. 

My favorite part about the bubbles is that they are recycled material.  You know those plastic packages that are impossible to open?  Next time you get one that has a flat spot to it cut it up and keep it.  Then you can run it through your die cut machine and create your own ghost bubbles or flowers or anything else. 

Now hop on over to see what Keely has done this week and don't forget to stop bye the Queen Kat Store on Wednesday to get all the new releases.
