Midway Challenge ~ Digistamps4Joy

Hi everyone! First and foremost I would like to wish a Happy Dewali to my Indian friends and followers who celebrate Dewali. I hope you and your family are having wonderful time on this Festival of Light. I am enjoying the long Dewali holidays with my family. My husband suggested we window shop this evening but I would rather stay home to scrap a layout as planned. We'll see.

I am back with my newest card as a way to remind you a challenge from Digistamps4Joy. My fellow teammate Jackie is hosting this challenge and she chose Animals as the theme.

The image I used is Lion. Click here to get her. 

Supplies: DS4J digi image, Kraft patterned paper, Copic Sketch, MS border punch, Memory ink pad

 It's been a while I make rosette and it's always my favorite thing making paper embellishment from scrap of papers {trying my best to reduce pieces of paper from previous projects!}. My new liking in pointillism inspired by my daughter's school artwork has urged me to make dots around the edge.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:
1. A Random Fan : ATG
2. Deep Ocean : Just One Layer
3. Fan-Tastic Tuesday : ATG {twist: Add Some Flowers)
4. Party Time Tuesdays : ATG
5. Bunny Zoe's Crafts : Animals
6. House of Cards : Punch and/or Die
7. Love To Create : ATG / Fall Colors
8. Love To Scrap : Seeing Dots
9. Not Just Cards : Always ATG
10. Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge : ATG
11. Use Your Stuff : Pets/Animals 

I am glad you stop by today and here's wishing you a day filled with love and happiness.

Hugs-n-smiles,

Celebrate "Happy Birthday"

A big HELLO to my two new followers Tammy Ortiz and Loretta {thank you ladies}. My weekend was hectic; my kiddies had classes on Saturday {{{yikes}}}. Sunday was somewhat relaxing however despite many hours spent organizing my stash and manage to make a card in the evening. It's a tri-fold card precisely to fill my sister-in-law's request whose son's birthday falls on the 14th day of March. To those who often visit my blog knows how much I adore fancy fold technique. This card is no exception; I enjoy making it so much and hoping my nephew who is turning 11 will love this robotic card.

Materials used: Kaisercraft (K-Bots patterned paper & 'Happy Birthday' rub-ons), Copic, Tim Holtz distress ink, 'Celebrate' sentiment from TLC, Crop-a-Dile, others from my stash

...some close-up photos...  

 I think the robots look so sweet =)

I filled in the sentiment dots with Copic; can't do without coloring!

 There you have it. Keep smiling and thanks for your visit. 

I would love this robot to enter these challenges:

1. Pause Dream Enjoy Challenges : For The Boys
2. Challenges 4 Everybody : Anything Goes

Hugs and smiles,
