Good afternoon everyone,

Here is my submission for this week's Pile It On Challenge. (PIO) challenge. It is a little late as like most of you, I had a crazy busy weekend. But this week's challenge was VEGGIES.

Please be sure to stop by PIO and check out all the other neat projects from the Design Team this week :-) Click HERE

Good evening all, Here is my project for our PIO (Pile It On Challenge Blog) this week. The theme is Cute and Cuddly. This week's sponsor is Meljen's Designs. They do some wonderful digi stamps! This is my first ever project with a digi stamp and I love, love, loved working with it :-) Please be sure to stop by their online store and check out all of their super cute images! Here is a view of the entire layout. Here is a closeup of the super sweet digi stamp from Meljen's. Isn't she just adorable? Snuggling with her kitty cat. I actually partially colored her in digitally first. I printed her out on a full 12 x 12 sheet of white paper. Then I used my xacto knife to trim around her pants, shoes and pony tail. This way I could tuck the photo mat and border underneath her. Here is a closeup of the flowers, flourishes, and leaves. I used an assortment of buttons, bling and inks to match the great color scheme. So now the different challenges that this project applies to: The Pink Elephant - Yellow, Designer Paper & Buttons Practical Scrappers - Punches (Used my MS punch set for the white lacey border) A Spoonful of Sugar - Furry Friends FabnFunky Challenges - Fancy Edges Paper Play Challenges - Digi and Bling Wee Memories - Stitching DareU2DigiStamp - Digi Whoopsi Daisy Challenge - As You Like It Stamp With Fun - Friends Totally Paper Crafts - Stitching Creative Craft Challenges - Flowers Delightful Sketches - Punches Cupcake Inspiration - Color Scheme Sundays With Crissy - Favorite Things Scrapfit - Use Your Stash

Good morning all,

This week at Pile It On Challenge Blog, our assignment was to use boyish colors.

View of entire layout.

Closeup of Bulldog paper piecing.

So here is my take on a "boyish" layout. I have done others, but they are still with bright colors. I just love how the little bulldog paper piecing I created came out. He is a real cute piece. Funny how you end up liking some of your work better than others :-)

So be sure to hop on over to PIO and see what the rest of the DT has done as well as all of the players. Tons of ideas and inspiration!

Sneak Peek

You're My Treasure Border Set

Listing Sunday Evening, March 14th

The details on this set are just amazing. From the tiny flowers the two bears are holding to all of the fine, glittery details! It is such a sweet set with the prettiest of colors! Zoo Fun!

Listing Sunday evening, March 14th

This layout was a lot of fun to do. There are a ton of little details on it. I especially love the little tiny lizards and the raccoon and the opossum. The hyena is really cute too! Gee...they are all so cute. This could work as an actual zoo page, but it could also work as a page with all your little critters together having fun. Sometimes when my kids were younger, it felt like a zoo!

You're The King Of My Heart. I just love how this layout turned out. My daughter told me that the full bodied Lion reminded her of the Lion in Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. The One who is King of the island of misfit toys. I cracked up but also thought I could see where she would say that. Anyway, this one was listed when the others were, I just haven't had a chance to get it on here. Close Up Shot Of "The King"
