Dahlia Fold Flowers

Good Day Everyone!
I am back today with the CASED card for this month's technique challenge, Dahlia Fold Flowers, over at Technique Time Tuesday. I am just loving all of the entries so far. Everyone is doing some fantastic work with this. I had a very difficult time choosing just one creation to case. I finally settled on entry # 2 by Shauna. In casing Shauna's card, I decided I would follow her layout but in a different colour scheme.

This is the card Shauna made:

Here is what I made based on her design:

Well, once again it is time for a new challenge over at One Stitch At A Time! The theme for Challenge #164 is "Use a Digi". This is always a super popular theme for us as almost everyone has a digital image of some sort they can use.
 I really enjoyed the digital stamp I got to work with this week as it is so cute and very versatile! I even took a small break from my usual colour scheme!
Here is my card:

I'm Gorgeous!

Hello!!!
I'm so excited; its my turn to host this month's challenge at Technique Time Tuesday! For my challenge, I chose Dahlia Folding. Once again, the amazing Mynnette has created an easy peasy tutorial for you to follow.
This is such a versatile technique, and I just love making these wonderful flowers for my projects. A few of my fabulous teammates posted some ideas for variations on my technique too. You can find those HERE. One easy way to vary your Dahlias is using a scallop circle punch, as I have, instead of a standard circle.
I was super happy when our leader, Mynnette, said I could make a scrapbook page for a change. I have been gradually re-doing my children's albums and chose to do one of my son's pages using this technique.
Here it is:

My son was almost a year old in this picture. He turned 29 this past December. Isn't he cute!

Good Afternoon!
We have a new challenge over at One Stitch At A Time this week and it is everyone's favourite I think..... #154 - Anything Goes
I made up a card but kept it fairly simple when it comes to embellishing it as I wanted it to appear as elegant as possible due to the gorgeous image one of my partners had picked for us to use this time.

Here is my card for #154 - Anything Goes:

Attaching the ribbon diagonally was my wonderful hubby's idea. When I added the bow, I left the tails long so I could slightly twist them and tuck them under the image.

Good Afternoon:
This week has the first Tuesday of the month, and you know what that means! It's time for a brand new challenge at Technique Time Tuesday. It is a very simple one called 'Brick Wall' and won't take you very long to make up a card to enter our challenge. As always, the lovely Mynnette had done up a fabulous tutorial to help you out which can be found HERE.

March's Top Winner will receive 3 digital sentiments made by Mynnette, and each stamper who's card is showcased will receive 1 digital sentiment made by Mynnette  ! ;) Here's the best part--THE WINNERS get to choose what they want their sentiment to say and what style! If this doesn't sound like something you'd like, you could choose from some sentiments that she already has made. :)

With Easter fast approaching, I decided to use this technique to get an Easter card done. Here it is:

I decided to mount my image on a bit of a tilt to give my card a different look.
