Blossom Challenge with Power Poppy

It's a new Blossom Challenge at Power Poppy.  My electronic cutter doesn't like me today - but I did manage this post using a previous win from the fabulous Power Poppy.  I won this beautiful digital stamp from Power Poppy called Black-Eyed Susan - you can get yours here.  I colored the stamp digitally.  The papers are from Fairy Hugs and Creative Memories...I obviously went shopping through my stash.  

I'm really disappointed in the color of my flowers - or should I say my crummy computer.  My flowers in my editing program were deep purple....exactly like that lone flower in the inspiration photo...yet it printed pink!  I need a new computer so badly!!!!!

Blossom Challenge with Power Poppy

OMG!  I've been so busy, I feared I missed the Blossom Challenge.  I've just been spaced out on STILL trying to get my house back in order after painting - but did get a little back into the swing of things this weekend.  So here's a quickie using Teacake with Strawberries (Power Poppy).  I colored Teacake digitally and added a digital sentiment from Miss Kate Cuttables. 

The Blossom Challenge is Gold, Silver, and Shimmer.  I used digital Silver Foil papers for the background and the cake stand...and added a bit of shimmer with sequins.

Let's Eat Fruit (and Cake)

Okay, I have a crop tomorrow, and all my goodies are packed up - but I still wanted to craft tonight.  So I actually colored and created this single-layer card tonight because all I have available are my computer and printer.  This cutie is for the Power Poppy Blossom Challenge (Eat Your Fruit and Veggies) with the sweet Tea Cake with Strawberries image by Power Poppy.  Thanks, Power Poppy, for sweetening up those strawberries with a delicious-looking cake!  It's colored digitally, and I added a new favorite sentiment from We Are 3 (Life Moments) - because I do believe I am in the presence of wonder when there is a delicious dessert in front of me! 

Happy New Year

Wow!  Didn't expect to be doing any crafting anytime soon, as my craft room is all packed up while we attempt to get the walls painted...but since our painter seems to be MIA, I decided I'd better unpack some basic tools IMMEDIATELY if I wanted to play along with this month's Blossom Challenge on the Power Poppy blog.  The twist this month is Christmas in July - one of my favorite stamps immediately came to mind - Power Poppy's Hollyberries.  WooHoo! 

I decided to cut the Hollyberries and arrange around the cardinal.  The sentiment is from We Are 3 - New Year .  The background is from Monica's Creative Room.

Power Poppy Blossom Challenge

It's Day 4 of the new Power Poppy Blossom Challenge - although I'm not using "Spring" flowers, I was already creating this card using Power Poppy's Black-Eyed Susan - so I'm feeling pretty good sharing this in the challenge.  There is so much inspiration from the fabulous Bloomies - it's mind boggling.  There's almost a month to go to get your entry in.  Wow!  Today I'm sharing a card using papers from the new Graduation collection from We Are 3.  They have lovely bright colors. 

I used the papers with the stars and "confetti" which are appropriate for all occasions.  The sentiments are computer generated.  While this card was created for someone who is very ill, I hope the beautiful bright colors will bring some joy for her and her family.
