Times Up!

Have you ever needed to make a card really quickly or didn't want to spend a lot of time making your card?
 Well, at Meljens we are having a "Times Up" Challenge!
 To participate, you have to make a card in 30 minutes.
I got a new Silhouette Cameo for Christmas and have been having a lot of fun playing so I thought I would use it to make my card this time.
The image I used for this Challenge is called Birthday Cupcake...AND....it comes Precoloured! Woohoo! If you are not comfortable colouring or really don't have time...these are the images for you! Melissa has a whole range of them so go to her website and have a peek. Then, make a 30 minute card of your own and join in our Challenge for this week at: http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.ca/
 Enjoy Creating!

DT Day with Sue

To start off the new year I thought I would do a Birthday card for my first DT Day of 2014.
 I chose the image called Cuddle Bun Baby. Now, you may think that this is a baby card image but this digi is very versatile because you can use it for almost anything!- Birthday, Baby, Children, Grandma, a Hug etc.
I used cardstock and Laughing Lola papers from CTMH, Pleated Trim from Bazzill Basics, and embellishments and ribbon from my stash. I coloured the image with Copics.
 
 So go to Meljens  and get Cuddle Bun Baby or search for images that you can use for multiple uses. Really, there are tons!

Newest Card

I have been in my office creating again when I should really be doing laundry! 
Here is my latest My Besties creation.
These Besties images are so cute and I love their eyes!
I used cardstock from Bazzills, paper from DCWV and Crate, Prima and homemade flowers, lace trim, butterfly and embellishments from my horde and a label from Jillibean Soup. The image was coloured with Copic markers.

Hope you enjoy!
Sue
