ANYTHING GOES!
So create whatever your heart desires to link up for your chance to win some cute digis, but please read the Challenge Rules before entering!
I used Underwear Hero on my card today (he is available as a digital here and in rubber here). I created a sunburst pattern behind him using some scraps of paper from my TAC stash, and played around with combining letter stickers with stamps for the sentiment again. The word "awesome" is from the YNS Awesome Journal Words set, and I also used a few YNS Black Gumdrops to embellish the corner.
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, TAC patterned paper, Circle Nestabilities, YNS Banner/Fishtail Die, Thickers,
Pop Dots, YNS Awesome Journal Words (sentiment) Versafine Onyx Ink, YNS Black Gumdrops, Copics

Eye Love You!
It's time for our monthly inspiration post over on the Your Next Stamp Blog... the team has gotten together to bring you oodles of inspiration, and there is a PRIZE up for grabs too!
First, how about a look at my project?
I've been challenging myself to try new things, and today I pulled out my letter stickers to play around with on my card. I thought it would be fun to combine the letters with stamps to create a sentiment, and here's what I came up with...
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Doodlebug Flower Box and Lovebirds pads, Thickers, YNS Border Die,
Googlie Eyes, Pop Dots, Copics (YG17, YG25, YG03, YG01 and RV17, RV04, RV02, RV00)
I had a lot of fun making this card! I combined a couple of different papers from Doodlebug, and colored one of the Silly Monsters to match. I had googlie eyes in my stash that were just the right size for this cutie! For the sentiment, I used a portion of one of the phrases from the Fast Food Sentiments set, combined with some black Thickers from my stash. The heart border is also from YNS, from the Must Have Border Dies Set One.
I think this one came out pretty cute! :)
Now head on over to the YNS Blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has created to inspire you... be sure to leave a comment over there for your chance to win a stamp set of your choice!

My mojo has been really lacking lately, and needed a little kick start. I don't know about you, but something new to play with usually gets my creative juices flowing again, so I treated myself to a new digi... I have been eyeing Some Odd Girl stamps for quite a while, and this was the perfect chance to try one out!
I picked out Sway Mae, and I LOVED coloring her! Seriously had a smile on my face the whole time! :)

Some Odd Girl April Linky Party
Whimsie Doodles April Challenge!
It's very late as I type this up, so I'm going to try to keep it short!
I wanted to let you all know that it's time for a new monthly challenge at Whimsie Doodles, and our theme this time is
April Showers/Water!
It was originally planned to be just "April Showers", but when we saw the new Seas the Day stamp set Melyssa designed for A Jillian Vance Design, we had to find a way to include it in our theme! :)
Needless to say, I decided to work with the Seas the Day set for my card! I tried something a little different for me, and created a scene using mostly ink.
I started by masking a circle, and sponging Memento Dandelion and Tangelo Inks to create a sun. The water and sky were created using 3 shades of Distress Inks (Faded Jeans, Boken China, and Tumbled Glass). The cute little crab was colored with Copics, and popped up on a torn peice of kraft cardstock. The punny sentiment is just one of many included in this fun set!
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Wausau Black CS, Doodlebug Hip Hip Hooray 6x6, Neenah Desert Storm CS,
Distress Inks, Memento Inks, Circle Nestabilities, Pop Dots, Copics YR09, YR07, YR04, Y38
That's all I have to share today!
