{PIN}spirational Challenge #31: Photo - Sport Cupcakes

Sports . . . hhmm . . what to say, what to say . .

Oh, yeah, welcome to the newest challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges. Are you inspired by these yummy cupcakes?

I hope so! I would enjoy seeing what you come up with. I'm sure it will be a sport or two or maybe just the colors. Whatever sparks your creativity will be perfect!

Our sponsor this week is Pink Cat Studio. I included one of their digital stamps in this creation. It's a sHOOper fan!

Ok, I know . . that was horrible, but I hope you enjoyed it even if it's just a wee bit :)

{PIN}spirational Challenge #25: Photo Inspiration - Be So Happy

What a fantastic quote to live by! Of course, it is harder than it is to say, but I definitely will start reminding myself of this delightful way to look at life.

At {PIN}spirational Challenges, we invite you to join us with your take on this photo. By sharing with us, you could win a prize from our sponsor, The Digi Garden.

I was joyed to use one of their digital stamps in my creation. This super cute boy was originally catching fish, but I decided to change it up (especially since I am a vegan!) He is catching (& will be releasing) love. Isn't that just adorable?

Is there a quote that has inspired you lately?

Friday Sentiments (Lady Anne's Paper Crafts): Sports with A Twist

It's a new challenge for the Friday Sentiments Challenge: Sports with the twist of adding brads.

Now, I enjoy going to sporting events. Seeing them live is very fun, but watching them on TV or talking about them . . . well, that's just not my cup of tea.

This challenge made me pause for a bit. Sports? What? I'd rather not. Ha!

Well, I searched through my supplies and was surprised to find these very cool football stickers. And who knows how long I've had them :) An idea was born and here it is.

Do you enjoy sports? Which one?

Nature

I am on a mission. What mission is that? Well, it's a mission that every crafter is continuously on: Using up your stash!

I grabbed papers from my green scraps drawer & this is what I cam up with. Masculine cards are always difficult for me, but using green & natural twine made this card easy peasy for me.

What have you made with your scraps lately?

Clear It Out Challenge #9: One For The Boys

I am excited to share my first DT project for Clear It Out Challenges!

Clear It Out Challenges focuses on using your stash of craft supplies. You know you have them, we all have them. Lots of various papers, embellishments and other goodies that are just waiting to be used.

Well, now is the time! The challenge is "One For The Boys" and you must use two or more patterned papers.








Our sponsor is Dude Time Doodles, who has hilarious digital stamps! I used one for this project. Isn't he just a riot? Ha ha ha!

Now, since he brought up moonshine, let's chat. Do you like beer? If so, what kind do you partake in?

Bicycle Trip

It's time to take a little trip on the bike. The weather is perfect for it (if you live where I do.) I'm going to take some time & remember how to ride my bike since I haven't gotten on it in quite a few months! Luckily, you never forget . . .

I scavenged through my printed photos & found a lovely one of a Manzanita tree. It's bark naturally peels, creating a beautiful mix of colors.

Wish You Were Here

It's always difficult for me to make masculine cards. I mean, really, there are SO many sweet embellishes & colors for females! How could I not want to use beautiful flowers, sparkling rhinestones, glitter & all of those pretty pinks?

Well, here is a little shout to the men. A masculine color scheme, wood beads, twine & a shell. All are neutral, dark & manly, I think.
