Birdie Brown's Freebie Challenge

Greetings!

Happy Friday!  I can't tell you how excited I am that the weekend is here.  It's been a long week.  I started my exercise program back up and boy am I feeling it. lol  Today I want to share with you a card I made using the adorable image from Torico over at Birdie Brown.  Torico is so generous that she gives away a freebie monthly and then allows us to enter them in her awesome challenge.  I couldn't wait to color this little guy up using some yummy Fall colors.

Here's my creation...

I started out with a 6x6 scallop cardstock based.  I layered on some SU Chocolate chip cardstock and then some dp from 6x6 pad.  I then had some extra dp leftover from another project and it had some cool Fall colors so I layered that on as well.  I used my Spellbinder's Wonky Rectangle diecuts to cut out the mat, dp and image.  I then added a little sentiment tab and a leaf.  I love the colors and now that I look at my card it could totally be a male card, don't you think?

Birdie Brown's Retro phone and Tammy's Scrapin Corner "Anything Goes" Challenge #16

Greetings!

Happy Monday! It's that time of the week for another challenge over at Tammy's Scrapin Corner. This week's theme is Anything Goes and we have two awesome sponsors this week... Scrapper's Delights and MarkerPop (formerly ICopic). I am multi-tasking with this post, because I have chosen to use the image from Birdie Brown's June Challenge "Retro phone," so that I may enter in that challenge as well.

Here's my creation...

BB Retro Phone

I started created my card using Kraft cardstock, SU cardstock and some dp from MME Miss Caroline "Dilly Dally" 6x6 paperpack.  This has quickly become one of my FAV paperpacks and coming from a woman who has over 50 6x6 paperpacks is saying a lot. lol  Anyways, I then added some oober cool Chevron diecuts from the very generous and super kind Bird.  I asked if she would make these and she did and I knew they woul dwork well with Birdie Brown's Retro phone.   I colored my phone up using Copics R35, R37, BG11, BG13, BG15.  The perfect sentiment is from Paulette over at Create with TLC.  To tie everything together (lol), I added twine at the bottom.

Well, I hope that you will join us for the challenge this week. Also, below you will find a posting for some yummy blogcandy from me that expires June 30th, so you don't want to miss out!

What's Cook'in??

Greetings!

Since I have been "pinning" on Pinterest I've been cooking A LOT more than before.  I made beef stew last weekend and a recipe I came up with on my own called Candy's Cream Corn Cornbread muffins. Lol...say that fast a few times. I have never been able to make edible cornbread (I inherited this shortfall from my Dad).  Sooo, I had my little sister who is studying to be a Chef to make up the mixture and I added a 1/2 cup of cream style corn.  I was pleasantly surprised how it made the muffins moist and rich with flavor.  

Okay, well enough about cooking.  I say all this to share with you my card I made using Birdie Brown's Chef images. 

I used SU designer paper and cardstock that I emobssed with Tim Holtz's brick embossing folder.  I used Copics to color the images and chose not to color the faces to make the other parts of the image pop.  The negative circles was made using Spellbinder's Circle diecut.

BB Candy Cupcake

Greetings!

I'm late posting today, but was determined to continue to post everyday.  Today I want to bring you a card using a oober adorable image from Birdie Brown...Candy Cupcake.  I like to think that it was named after me. *gigl*  I used a sentiment from Paulette at Create with TLC, because as usual Paulette has a sentiment to go with any image out there (and if not...if you ask really really nicely she may create one for you).  I dedicate this card to all the sweet people that I have had the pleasure to "meet" here in blogland.

I had to go with yummy bright colors when working with this delicious image.  I immediately whipped out my MME's Lime Twist 6x6 paper pad.  I used the papers as my inspiration for the candy on the cupcake.  I added a bit of glaze to the candy to make them pop and added Paulette's sentiment to put the finishing touch on my card.  I also used Copics to color my image and Spellbinders circle and circle eyelet diecuts as well.

Also, to continue with the celebration, Torico (owner of Birdie Brown) is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of her store.  She is so sweet that she is offering her single digis for a $1 each. 

From now through midnight 3rd (EST),

ALL single images are $1.00!

Yes, just $1.00!;) It's time to stock up your digital stamps!

Soooo, you may want to head over there and grab some of these adorable images to create your own oober adorable creations. :-)  Also, don't forget to stop by Create with TLC to pick up that perfect sentiment to accompany your images.
