So Cherry Sweet with Daisy Doodles

My daughter Liz has been a guest designer for Daisy Doodles this month. She was unable to get a project completed this week for Tableau Tuesdays because she wasn’t feeling well. We didn’t want to let the Daisy Doodles Team down because they are so sweet and fun to work with, so I decided to jump in and make a project. I had this yummy image, Knickerbocker Glory, colored up waiting for a project . I matched it up with some papers and goodies from my stash and here we go. Just looking at it is making me crave an ice cream sundae.

You still have time to enter the Daisy Doodles Creative challenge this week. The current theme is “Anything Goes”. You can find all the challenge details at the Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge blog. I hope you will join in the fun.

Don’t forget you still have time to enter my Color Your World blog candy for your chance to win some Copic markers.

Hot Dog! It’s the Daisy Doodles Blog Hop!

Welcome to Daisy Doodles BIG celebration blog hop. There is plenty to celebrate today, June 3rd. You should be arriving from Kathy’s blog. If not you may want to start at the beginning at the Daisy Doodles Creative Challenge blog.

For my project, I made a birthday card using an image from the digital stamp set “Take Away”. The inside sentiment says “I hope you relish your day! Happy Birthday!” I just couldn’t resist being a little punny.

Sentimental Sundays #26 - Distressing

Wow! Can you believe we are already on the 26th Sentimental Sundays challenge? We are half way through our first year. Time is really flying by. So, with out further chit chat, the new Sentimental Sundays challenge for this week is "Distressing".

I made this card for a friend's recent birthday. Daisy Doodles came out with this set shortly before his birthday and I had to get it. My friend is a BIG VW bug fan. Isn't this just the cutest image? I want to cruise around in this car. Okay may be not today, the end of October, but definitely when the weather is great.

I distressed the edges of my DP with ink and using my scissors and CTMH edge distressing tool. I typed up the sentiment in Word on my computer.

I hope you will share your "distressing" projects with us at Sentimental Sundays. Be sure to stop by and download this week's free sentiments from Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs.
