SheepSki Designs: Square Cards

Once a wise man was asked, “What’s the meaning of life?”

He replied, “Life itself has no meaning.

Life is an opportunity to create meaning.”

-- Unknown --

Hi there!

Today a new monthly challenge started on the SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog and this month our challenge theme is “Square Cards”

For my card I am using one of Andreas newer images called Garden Party - image no 202, found HERE in the Etsy Shop.

I love this image and just like the Snowmen Selfie, I imagine it will fast become one of my favorite images to color up! Doesn't that one little fella look like he's trying to lick the frosting?! 

I also used another of Andreas images called Coffee & Cake - image no 173, which is another great set and can be found HERE . I did some editing magic that allowed me to use just the cupcake base.

Please note, Andrea generously allowed me a bit of creative license so that I could turn this fun image into a cupcake topper. You should always get permission from the artist before editing any of their images as I did this one.

Supplies

Image: Garden Party - image no 202

Alcohol markers: Copics & ProMarkers

SheepSki Designs: Winter Wonderland

When it snows

Ain't it thrilling

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play

The Eskimo way

Walking in a winter wonderland

Hi there!

Today starts a new monthly challenge on the SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog and this month our challenge theme is “Favorite Things!”

One of my favorite things is Winter. I live in an area of the Southwest that does have snow etc., but not exactly where I live! So I love to imagine what it would be like to build a snowman in my front yard and to experience a White Christmas, at least once!

For my card I am using Winter Warmer - image no 183, found HERE in the Etsy Shop. This is such a great image and can be used for a variety of cool weather occasions.

Glitter Glue was touched about in her hair to give a look of “frost”

Supplies

• Image: Winter Warmer - image no 183
• Alcohol markers: Copics & ProMarkers
• Cardstock: The Paper Studio (Base), Stampin Up
• Digital Paper: Touched by a Butterfly (Closed)
• Glitter Glue: Studio G
