Spring and Bling with a Swiss Pixie and Kitty's Best Day!

Spring is in the Air, the birds are singing and I'm sure I'll hear the familiar roar of thunder soon in the Texas skies! LOL
No, it's not raining yet but when it does I just carry on crafting!
Spring definitely means storms here but I don't let it get me down and it gives me an excuse to stay at the crafting table a little longer.
So that's why there have been new cards on my blog everyday and why today I have two new ones for you!

Here are the challenges with the 1st card:

All That Scraps want Spring and Bling
Anyone for Anya had a Free Week as long as it was a TGF or CC Design image
Crafts and Me want Fairies or Wings
Tuesday Morning Sketches had a lovely Sketch
Lucys Cards had a Photo Inspiration
Kaboodle want a Digi Girl
Pink Elephant want Nature
Pollycraft say Anything Goes!



Card Recipe:
Image - Heidi among the Flowers
Paper - DCWV The Linen Closet and Nana's Nursery Baby Girl
Medium - Copic Markers
Border Punches - Martha Stewart
Sentiment - Studio G
Flowers - Prima
Fabric Brad - Making Memories
Rhinestones - $1 spot





I really love this image, I won it in a challenge, and am always happy to use it.
Heidi looks so sweet in those flowers and no matter what color you chose it always seems to look right.


Now on to the second one.
I've been a fan of Meljen Designs since using her designs with My Grafico.
Not that's she's branched out on her own I just had to get my hands on some of her new imges and take them for a test drive! LOL
She has a new website with instant downloads and the cutest of images.

I'm trying my hand at the following challenges with this card:
Meljens Designs have an Anything Goes theme
Drunken Stampers want No Designer Paper
Allsorts want No DP either
Crafty Cardmakers wanted you to Challenge Yourself and using no dp for me is a HUGE challenge!
Sweet Sketch Sunday had a Super Sketch
Sweet Stampin want a Card for a Man
Cards For Men want Humor
Stampin B's want a Funny Card
Sophisicats had a Raining Cats and Dogs theme
CCEE want Silly Critters
Charisma want Animal Magic (anyone remember Johnny Morris?)
Magical Crafts want Animal Antics

I hope you enjoyed my two cards today and when the grey skies come I'll be ready with my scoring board in one hand and my glue gun in another and I'll face it like a woman! LOL
