New Karen's Doodles Challenge

Hello, friends!  I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend!!

The beginning of the week, of course, brings with it a new challenge at Karen's Doodles!  This week, we challenge you to combine your Karen's Doodles images with 7 of something!  Anything your little heart desires, as long as there are 7 of them!!  Flowers, gems, images (can you get 7 Karen's Doodles images on one card?)

There are some beauties from the Design Team this week!  Be sure to check them out and see if you can find their 7 somethings :)

Anne - Annita - Chris - Dorte - Gini - Gro - Joey - Kelly - Lori - Nancy - Peri - Sandy - Tanja - Tracy - Zoe

For my card, I used the image Bigsby Wreath - which just happens to have 7 ornaments - and I added an acrylic bauble to each ornament.  I've seen so many beautiful PINK Christmas cards this year, and I really wanted to try to make one myself and see if I could pull if off... what do you think?

Sentiment: Ippity

And, there you have it!  Another Karen's Doodles challenge with a super fun Karen's Doodles image!

I hope you can play along this week, too!!  I look forward to seeing your SEVEN!


I'm also entering this card into the challenges at The Crafty Pad - Christmas Sparkle, Sew Many Challenges - Christmas & Totally Gorjuss - Christmas

Meljen's Inspiration!

It's still birthday week at Meljen's!

There is a ton of beautiful cards that I just posted on our challenge blog to inspire you, so you should really go check it out!  The Design Team has really gone all out to impress you!

Here's another card that I made using this week's new release images.  This time I chose "Ride Em Cowgirl", I just think she is adorable!  My Dad says that she looks like my Emily... yea, I can see that!  I think she may just be almost as rambunctious as my Emily, too, from the looks of it!

Here's Emily with Bradley in January.... What do you think?

I think Emily could have modeled for this image!!!  LOL!  This is one of the many things that I love about Meljen's Designs!  Her children images always make me think of my own babies :)

If you haven't had a chance to join our Birthday challenge, you still have just a little bit of time left!  Come on, join the party!

Also, today is the last day to get Meljen's images for 25% off at Whimsy Stamps!  Grab your wish list and start shopping!

This one also fits the following challenges:
Oh, Alice - Girly Theme
Christmas Stampin All Year Long - Anything but Christmas
Sew Many Challenges - Happy Birthday
Cute Card Thursday - Dieing for a Punch (no punches or die cuts here!)

Love Love Luigi!

I just got this new stamp in the mail and couldn't wait to ink him up!  I've been wishing for him for a loooong time, and finally gave in and bought him!

I was inspired by another Easel card that I had seen made with the Labels 4 (I believe) Nesties, and thought that I would try it with my favorite Nesties, Labels 10!

I made this one for my Mom - because she's the best :)

A couple challenge for this one:

High Hopes - Anything Goes

Sew Many Challenges - Anything Goes

Shirleys 2 Girls Twisted Thursday - Something New (new stamp, Luigi)
