Tiddly Inks Treasure Hunt Birthday Blog Hop- Expired




Hello and welcome to the Tiddly Inks "Treasure Hunt" birthday blog hop. Happy Happy 1st birthday Tiddly Inks!! I am so excited to be a guest designer for this hop because I oh so love all the digi's and what a fun way to showcase them. You should have arrived here from Marlena's wonderful blog. If you didn't start at the beginning of this treasure hunt you are going to want to go to the beginning to get all the clues and comment for all the wonderful prizes throughout, please return here to start at the beginning.

For my first card today, I decided to showcase the new "GeekaTude" digi. Isn't he fabulous, he is one of the 20 new birthday digi's in the shop. I paired him with the Digisparkle wall backdrop and colored them with Prismacolor pencils and OMS.

For the second card I did "Goldilocks". It reminded me so much of the neighbor who is always peering in your window to just say hi! Prismacolors and OMS were also used on this card.


What would a treasure hunt be without treasure, so of course I got some candy for you!! All you have to do is follow along if you would like, leave a comment and a way to get a hold of you and I will draw a winner. Also if anyone knows how to get a hold of Mintas Creations, I have not heard from her for the last blog candy, I would hate for her to lose it :(


Don't forget to keep a look out for the clues to your secret message and remember there is an awesome FREE download somewhere within the hopping!! When you find the secret message, please email it to ccart87@gmail.com and you will have a chance to win one of the amazing Prizes! Now on to your next Crafty Mate in this ere' treasure hunt is the lovely Kiara. Have a wonderful day :)

Creativity

I made this card for the Sentimental Sundays challenge #52- Let's get punchy. I used there sentiment and I felt it went wonderfully with the beautiful couple of Tiddly digi's, I have the links in the recipe for you. I used two different sized circle punches for sentiment, a punch for the bottom of the kraft paper and a corner punch for a total of 4 punches. I also tried something new by coloring in black and white to let the colors of the painting shine. I still need practice but I had to try it!! I am also going to enter this into the Make it colourful challenge #15- use black. Thank you Christy @ Tiddly Inks for sharing the challenge. Both have wonderful challenges going on but they both end tomorrow, so hurry over. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

P.S. If you are loving these digis then you are absolutely going to love the Tiddly treasure hunt starting at midnight and going through May 3rd. There will be tons of prizes and great inspiration so don't forget to come back and join in on the fun. Hop over and take a look at some of them, Tiddly Ink Treasure Hunt. See you in a few hours!!!

Beauty



I made this card for the M.A.G. challenge by the page- challenge # 23. I also incorporated it into a Mother's Day card for the Celebrate the Occasion challenge # 11- Mother's Day. For the M.A.G. challenge you need to use the "Forever Young" Cricut cartridge, pg. 44 only. I missed last weeks challenge (shame on me), time got away from me, so I had to make sure I got this one done. For those that haven't done these, they are so much fun, you need to try one and you will see :) I think this butterfly should be called "ode to Gloria" because she oh so loves blue and I thought of her when I made it, lol.

I hope you can join in on the M.A.G. challenge and the Celebrate the Occasion challenge so we can see all of your lovely projects!! I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

*****AHHHHHHHHHHHH, I missed the M.A.G. challenge. For some reason I thought it ended on Thursday, but it ends on Wednesday night!!! Well, this is for CTO then, sorry M.A.G. (tear in my eye) ;)

Go Girl

Tiddly Inks challenge #46- You're a Stitch, is a challenge to make a card and use stitching. I felt that the Tiddly Inks digi- frankiee was perfect for stitches :) I went out of the zone and used pink, lots of pink and lots of distressing. On April 30th Tiddly Inks is having a fun treasure hunt blog hop that I was asked to join so come back for lots of candy!!

I also used sketch #111 from Card Patterns, such a great sketch. Hop over an see some of the wonderful DT projects!! I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful day :)

P.S. I tried a different background, outside, not sure how I feel about it yet. Hope it doesn't distract you to much :)
