of your design teams. 
Whimsie Doodles is the sponsor for this week's challenge. 
This RUBBER stamp and sentiment is from their newest

For this week's challenge.....
The Spotlight Divas would like to challenge you to go
the opposite from last week's challenge and clean
things up a bit on your creations! What does that mean?
You can make a nice CAS style card (meaning clean and simple)
or make sure you have clean edges and paper for your creation.
Please interpret this how you'd like!


For our Spotlight sponsor this week we have...

**One lucky winner from our challenge
in Mister Linky this week drawn
from random.org will receive a special
code for a $10.00 shopping spree

Whimsie Doodles Challenge National Friendship Week

This week Paula challenged us to create a card or project for National
Friendship week.. You can see the challenge over on the
Whimsie Doodles PCP CHALLENGE
I made this adorable little carrot box for my sister..
She is my best friend even if she is my sister.. :)  I chose the sentiment
from the new release available over at Whimsie Doodles.
This second project is for my niece.. I already sent them to her
as they would be a bit stale if I waited until Easter.. I used a
cookie stick and added the bunnies to it.. Then used the sentiment
also from the new release.. I put it in a pretzel bag I found at Michael's. 



Two really easy projects for Easter.. My stamp room is all torn up so I
will be back to regular stamping in a week.. Plus my family is here
visiting and "helping" with the construction.. Have a super weekend.

I had a few more cards to create for Whimsie Doodle this month so
I got busy yesterday and created some valentine cards and gifts. 

This first card is a card that is going to my MIL.  The last time we
were home she cleaned out all her crafting stuff. She gave almost
all of it to me.  It really touched my heart.  The lace and the wooden
hearts were in the bundle of goodies.  I used the newly released set
called Lil Cupid.  This is one of the new rubber stamps that Melyssa
now has in the store. I colored with my Prismas on Dessert Sand
paper from Mark's Finest Papers.  I LOVE this stuff.  It has a great
texture and it has a earthier color than SU's Kraft. 

I am entering this into several challenges for the week:
Raise The Bar:  Use something old (lace and hearts from MIL)
Dare U2Digi:  Hearts.. I think there are plenty here..:)

Sharon Johnson's Challenge:  Bleeding Hearts
Caardvark's Challenge:  Red and Hearts

This second card was created for the Whimsie Wednesday challenge on PCP
where I am the host this week.  My challenge is "Go Figure".  Make a card 
with a shape. This is Cloud 9 Cupid and Cupid 9 Leah merged together.  
I also added the flannel heart to go along with the Ways To Use it Challenge
on SCS. Julia's challenge was to add textiles to your creation.




This towel creation is for my Whimsie DT Valentine.  I made it using a
towel from the dollar store then I added a fabric strip to it and a
yoyo flower and heart button.  





This last cutie creation is for my niece.. I am sending her a little
package full of stuff for Valentines.. This monkey image is perfect
for Valentine socks.. I colored with copics and highlighted with
my Prismas..

These stamps or digi images are all available at 20% off. Hurry over
and use the code Dawn20 to save 20% on your order...

Happy Birthday

I am really excited about this project.. I have been working on it for
a few days.  My friend is having a birthday today. I knew that she had 
just gotten a new sewing machine and I wanted to give her something
that she could use with her new toy.. I saw this adorable pear pin cushion
on the internet the other day.  I knew it would be perfect for this 
Whimsie Doodles Pear image from the New Mini Valentines  set.  This also
fits the challenge over at PCP for the Whimsie Doodles group.. This week
Nicole is hosting and her challenge is birthday cards...Check it out HERE.

I created my own custom Designer Paper on Kraft by resizing the image
and then placing it randomly all over my blank page in Photoshop 
Elements 7.  Printed it and then colored all of it with Prisma Pencils.   I 
sponged and added some ribbon and buttons.

 

In keeping with my New Years Resolution I am challenging myself to do 
something new to ME each month.  I didn't know how to do this 
blanket stitch on the leaf so I You Tubed it and there you have it.   

Did you know that Melyssa is having a sale over at Whimsie Doodles..
Just use the code DAWN20 and you can get this image and many of the 
others at 20% off.  She has some new Valentine's Images..PLEASE ORDER..

They are over the top adorable.

As I was looking through the Dirty Dozen Gallery yesterday at Splitcoaststampers

I was inspiredby a shoe that my fellow Whimsie Doodles DT member Kelly

had created. She used a shoe template created by Ellen Hudson.  Kelly's was

beautiful and elegant.  I decided it would be great way to use the new
Valentines Mini set from Whimsie Doodles. 

This shoe is on its way to my friend in IL.
Her and I love Kelly Pickler (who grew up near me) and she has a song titled
"In My Red High Heels"  I wanted to send her a little Valentine gift so I wrapped
some ribbon on a clothes pin.  I got that idea from my friend Traci...
I am adding this to the DARE U 2 DIGI challenge this week which is to use buttons. 
 

Who wants to get 20% off of everything in the WhimsieDoodles store???

Oh yes, that includes the BRAND SPANKIN' NEW RUBBER STAMPS, TOO!!!--
