How to: celebrate girl's B'day

Just look how this time flies! It's almost March!

Well, another Tuesday, another challenge at

 

This time the theme is

GIRL'S B'DAY

and there's a twist: YOU MUST USE PINK!

So go girly as much as you can!

My DT card is close to my heart, 'cos I made it for my niece Joanna (Asia) to celebrate her 1st B'day! Yay!

The digi is a freebie from Milk & Coffee Digi Stamps. It is painted with watercolors.

This little charm here says 'Made with love' and this is sooooo true. The butterfly is from a dismantled window decoration.

And there were no circle dies used here, 'cos I haven't got such LOL It's all hand cut with scissors!

Thank you for visiting my blog and please join our challenge.

How to celebrate 2nd B'day of CTO (and win some candy)

Yes! It's time!

Welcome to the BLOG HOP!!! Weeee! There will be some excitement, joy and good emotions!

The blog hop starts NOW and will end on February 3rd at midnight.

All you need to do is visit the blogs of our DT members (listed below) and leave them a comment and some love or best wishes, 'cos it's our B'day! Yay!

Esther

Lucianna

Tonya

Anna  <---- you are here!

Adrian

 Then visit the CTO Challenge Blog & you're done! How easy is that?

The other part of the challenge is to prepare a card with 2 same elements (guess why? LOL). Whatever you create, there must be 2 of the same thing...

My DT card for the 2nd B'day has got 2 pins, 2 colors and 2 combo of pearls.

 The digi I used is from Milk & Coffee Digi Stamps and it's a freebie. Very suitable for a B'day! It's being colored with coloring pencils to receive a delicate effect.

The pins are handmade by me, the leaf is from a dismantled bouquet, and the flower is also handmade by me (ok, cut with a die, but still handmade, LOL). I used a second hand store material, so it's a kind of 'recycling craft'.

The background is embossed and the sentiment says 'For my best friend's B'day'.

Inside the card is similar.

Thank you for visiting my blog, but... HEY! THAT'S NOT THE END!

DO YOU WANNA WIN SOME CANDY?

Sweet treats & coffee

This is my second (and last) challenge as a GDT for

 

This week the challenge is

SWEET TREATS

which should be in the images used.

The sponsor for this challenge is

 

Here's my GDT card:

I used the sponsor's image Charlotte and Her Strawberries Pudding, sooo sweet!

The card is made according to the sketch from Stamps & Fun = Creativity:
 

I've painted the image with watercolors, and made the pudding chocolate, it goes very well with strawberries LOL

I really love this little kitty charm, it is also soooo sweet.

The flowers are from haberdashery, and I stated I have got mainly pink flowers at my stash. I have no idea when it happened!

I've decided not to put any sentiment on this card at all, so it is suitable for any occasion.

This card is also for the following challenges:
