Smells like Spring here at Whimsical Wednesday

Smell that? Dirt, rain, worms...ahhhh...the sweet smells of Spring. Such a change after the smells of Winter- when I could smell through my stuffy nose that is! This week's challenge to us Daredevils is to make a Spring card. I used my new Whipper Snapper stamps as I adore the cute critters in it. Reminds me of the critters I am seeing all around my house as the animals are coming out to enjoy the sun with the rest of us. I made my own sentiment for this card as the Owl with his wing's spread out wide reminded me of a question my kid's ask me almost every day..'how much do you love me?' We find unique ways to express ourselves and the current fave is 'like a sesame on a bagel' hee hee.

Before I direct you to the challenge blog to get started on this week's challenge details or to see my fellow daredevil's delish creations I must give a huge shout out to The Greeting Farm for sponsoring our challenge this month. I have loved using my TGF stamps and I hope you all enjoyed our whimsy Wednesday's with The Greeting Farm as well. Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by!

KKS challenge- use lots of flowers!

This week's challenge over at the KKS challenge blog is to use lots of flowers. I am the one hosting the challenge so if you get a chance to play along  you can win this sweet stamp of a swinging Emmylou. I coloured Emmy with my copics to match my Basic Grey paper from the Green at Heart line. I used a matching paper lace ribbon then some absoloutely freakin' fabulous Prima flowers I just picked up from SGD. I know I know...I need more of these beauties! So if you get a chance to play be sure to use KKSC26 and KraftinKimmie as your keywords if you upload to Splitcoast and be sure to comment in this post, so that we can all see your creations! Now hop on over to the challenge blog and see what other eye candy we have for you today. Enjoy your Saturday!

Ready for another Diedrich dare? It's a colour challenge!

Get yer Whimsy on with us Daredevils this week as we are inspired by colour this time. Nicky challenged us with the colours of yellow, green, white and black and it had boy written all over for me. All I could think of was dinosaurs. This great image from The Greeting Farm (who are also our prize sponsors for this month woot woot) was perfect and I used my Basic Grey stash to pull out the exact colours I needed- sweet. Love when it all comes together like that! I must say I am LOVING being part of this team and the cool challenges each week. Oh I almost forgot to mention I coloured this sweet boy's hair black to play along with the copic creations challenge blog this week too as black hair truly is a challenge for me tee hee. I am thinking it turned out not to bad eh?

April's new Whipper Snapper from Anna!

I am so excited to start showing you some of my newest creations using one of Anna Wight's new releases this month. I am going to be devastated when no new sets arrive for me next month boo hoo! This card was made by using 3 images from the new set 'Celebrating Nature'. A fairy, rainbow, butterfly, cute mushroom, snail..etc... yep stick a fork in me I'm done! I love it! I am sooo glad I have 2 girls so I have lots of reasons to use these stamps over and over not counting all my lil nieces. I stamped these images then coloured them with copics. This is actually my 2nd attempt. First attemp I had it coloured fabulously then decided to try the cloud background technique. You know a smart stamper would have thought about putting in lots of practice before doing this to a piece she had just finished colouring. Rest assured that smart stamper is NOT me. Yep I ruined it and kept adding more until it became a huge mess. Hmmmm...anyone want to see a pic of my mess, let me know and I will post it heh heh. I used some of my treasured stash of kraft paper from SU and some of my new Happy Tape! I picked that up from Emily at Stamping Bella. Come back later to see some pics.

I also wanted to share some more pics of my creations with the March Whipper Snapper release sets. The blue and brown card is using flocked paper- yumm!!!!! Have a great day!

ATU- Up in the Sky challenge..

This time at All things Unity we are making cards with the inspiration of Up in the Sky. Right away I knew I wanted to use a rainbow as they have always been one of my fave things in life. No matter how many times I have seen one I am still enthralled and amazed each time. Last one I saw was so big and so close to the ground you truly thought you could find the end of the rainbow. And fyi- if there was going to be a pot of gold I was gonna get me some! I never fully give up on those beliefs in case by completely not believing it shuts the door to the magic happening =). Don't forget to drop by the challenge blog and the rest of the DT to see what this challenge meant to them. Have a great Sunday and come on back tomorrow to read about my trip to Scrapfest with Kraftin' Kimmie. Here's a hint- I got to meet and become BFF's with Kimber McGray!!! For real! Not gonna lie- there were some drama moments- after all it was with me heh heh.

This Kraftin' Kimmie challenge is for the men...

Captain Scurvy was very happy to come out of my stamp binder to play with us this week. We have been challenged to come up with a card design for the boys. I have a few nephews into pirates so this card is perfect for them. Could also be for the older boys too hee hee. I used some Halloween paper from MME that was released last fall and kept the colours simple. I used shades of grey copics (from C1 to C7), YR23, E40 and E43. I didn't use any of my embellies either in case it goes to one of my young nephews and it just ends up in their mouth heh heh.

Hop on over to our challenge blog by clicking here and see what the rest of the DT has in store to get that manly mojo working for you. Don't forget if you play along there is a prize to win!

Whimsical Wednesdays are back with a sketch

Jack has given us Daredevils a sketchy challenge this week. I am again using this month's sponsor The Greeting Farm as I love using their stamps with my copics. I also love the stamps they have that look very similar to a fave movie of mine tee hee. This one is dressy Jeremy who also reminds me of Emmett from said fave movie. I made this card for my nephew's birthday that is coming up very quickly. He will be 13! He is a skater dude (is that the cool/hip term for skateboarders now??) and I thought this dressy Michael digi stamps was perfect for the uber cool and reserved look he has now that he is almost a teen. I used some of my Basic Grey Kioshi line that had a more manly feel to it. I also kept it fairly clean of embellishments- didn't want to embarass my cool dude with too much 'girly' stuff lol. This sketch was so much fun- thanks Jack!
