Christmas in July - Send a Smile for Kids

It's that time of the year when we start making cards, hopping to be ready for the holidays.

Why not make some extras and donate them to Send A Smile 4 Kids, a charitable blog created for the purpose of collecting donated handmade cards to be distributed to children while they are inpatient at Children’s Hospitals.

I made this one specially for them and hope that some kids will love it!

Craft Your Passion Holiday Havoc Blog Hop!

 Welcome to Craft Your Passion Challenges "Holiday Havoc 2011" Blog Hop!!

We are very excited about holidays and wanted to add to the chaos and havoc.
What better way to do that, than to have a BLOG HOP!!!
If you have hopped over from Tracey, then you are in the right place. If you just happened to stop by and would like to join our hop from the beginning, please go to Craft Your Passion Challenges and follow along for a chance to win some AMAZING blog candy along the way and PRIZES at the end.
All Craft Your Passion DT members are going to be playing along in the hop with some very special guest designers.
Each designer along the way is featuring a project that showcases a digital image from at least one of our amazing Blog Hop Sponsors.
What’s more exciting is you can participate too by creating a project and linking it up over at Craft Your Passion Challenges for a chance to win one of several prizes.
But, there’s a twist. Be sure to visit all the stops and leave a comment (we will be checking). Once you have finished the hop, we would like you to create a HOLIDAY project using at least one digital stamp and enter it with our Linky tool.
While you are hopping, be sure to check out the blog candy the some designer's have to offer you. You don't want to miss out on any of it!

Halloween Peeker...

Love this image by Bugaboo Digi Stamps, so I used it in this card.
The sketch is from Mojo Monday and the color combo is from Bugaboo Wacky Wednesday Challenge and The Outlawz Color Callenge with a twist: have to have a glittery embellie.
The sentiment is from {Ippity} Stamp Set: That's Creepy and you can find this set on the {ippity} Sales Blog.

The sketch from Mojo Monday:

Inspiration by Bugaboo Wacky Wednesday:

Color  Combo at The Outlawz:

Miss You...

I've been really busy lately, but at last a moment of peace and relaxation.

Made this card, using a sketch from Catch the Bug Challenge Blog and the color inspiration is from BugabooWacky Wednesday Challenge Group at Crafter's Digital Art Center and Paper Craft Planet. They want us to find inspiration in the The Junk Gypsy Company at the House of Color.

The image is from Bugaboo Digi Store.
