Love conquers all

 

 

 

I love this sentiment.  I truly believe that love does conquer all.  I've had enough trials and tribulations the last 3 years to last a life time.  I would have never made them through without the love from my amazing husband.  That man has been my rock but can still cry because of my pain. 

 

Enough of the mushy stuff!  This is a beautiful image from Sandra Caldwell at Babycakes Doodle This&That called Love Conquers All.  Sandra is giving away four free digis (wow!) for the challenge at Your ScrapbookPlace blog for the April contest.  I think I got in my card just in the nick of time.  There are some great prizes available for some lucky winners!!!

 

Materials used:  Copics, Starfish/Purple Pansy/Viva Pink/Tattered Rose Glimmer Mist - Tattered Angels, Gold Stickles - Ranger, VMarketplace paper tape and Kraft Basics patterened paper - Bazzill Basics Paper, Say it With Baby Bling - Want2Scrap, doily - unknown.

 

Hope you enjoy!

 

See ya next time and happy creating!

Hey, it's been a while!

Well hello there crafty people!  It's been a while, hasn't it?  I'm finally back in the creating mood after four month of letting life get in the way.  Instead of being stressed and nervous about issues that are out of my control, I decided to do a bit of card making to get those relaxing hormones working. 

This cute guy is for a Cinco De Mayo challenge over at ScrapbookPlace's challenge blog.  Plus, to help get the creative flow going, it's a sketch challenge.  My favorite!!!

I didn't realize how dark the bottom came out.  I had to take the pic using my iPhone because I'm fresh out of batteries for my camera.  You cant's see the glitter trim of the sombreros or the little glitter pom poms on the sombrero on the cactus.

Here's the template/sketch:

Here's what I used:  Copics E84,E87,R24,R29,R39,YG03,YG05,YG06,G03,G0000,G29,Y19,N0,G94; Images - Doodle Dragon Studios;  cardstock - DCWV;  red and green Studio g Glitter Glue by Hampton Art;  Candy Stripe Baker's twine by We R Memory Keepers, skittles - unknown.
