Ai Challenge - Cute as a button

I'm on a card making kick, and I really wanted to play along with the challenge they have going on over at the Art Impressions blog, I needed an excuse to colour up the adorable "Whoots" image... love that owl.

The challenge was to use buttons as embellishments, and for me that really was a challenge! Part of that challenge was to actually find a button. Not my usual choice of embellishment, but I found one that matched and away I went.

Simon Says... We Love Stamps

Since I needed to make a v-day card, I headed over to the Monday Challenge at the Simon Says Stamp blog. A nice and easy challenge this week, to use a favourite stamp to make a project.
I had the joy of inking up a stamp that I received recently for the first time, which is always awesome.

Simon Says... Get Krafty

Super quick mini 3x3 gift topper card for the Wednesday challenge over at Simon's blog.
The challenge was to use kraft paper, and it was a challenge for me... it was the first time I've ever tried to colour with copics on a darker card stock, interesting results.
Also, since I wanted a particular sentiment & my card stock is too thick to go through my printer, I tried hand writing it... yeeesh, not going to do that again!
