It's a Twilight Thing

Happy Wednesday, as you read this I (Juanita) will be waiting in line to see the midnight showing of Eclipse. I'm in CA so I will need to wait another 3 hours but I know some of you will already be in the theater watching it. So I lost track of time and desperately wanted to make a Twilight card. I knew I needed to get my 2 Cute DT card done first. For some reason I remembered there was a mention of Penguins in the book, ha, then the wheels in my head started turning. This card satisfied my need to make a Twilight card and my DT obligation :).

My card uses
Penguin Fun; I cropped off as much of the ice cream cone as I could. I hid the rest of the cone with a computer-generated sentiment. The sentiment is something Edward say
s to Bella when they are talking about where to go to college. Penguins would have been part of their "vegetarian" diet, lol. Good thing for little penguin they didn't end up in Alaska. Ok I know some of you won't get this but I couldn't resist.

Sweet Manatee Friends



I am in a summer mood, how about you?  It is unbelievably hot here in Florida where I am, but we are still outside enjoying the sunshine a little bit everyday.  This card was inspired by a trip to the beach my little family will be taking soon.  I used Manatee Friends,  which is just so adorably cute!!  I tried to twist and glue down my lemongrass green ribbon to look like seaweed.  Not sure this satin ribbon was the best choice (LOL) but you get the idea.

For more details on this card, please visit my blog .

I hope you are enjoying your summer, and I'll see you back here next week!!

Sweet Monday...

Good morning everybody,
I can't believe that July is upon us, of course the temperatures are sure climbing, gotta love Florida weather! LOL So today I made a card that reminds me of the lazy days of summer...

The little guy was colored in with colored pencils and Gamsol. Then to add bling, I added Art Institute Glitter as accents and the saying is from Hero Arts. I also used a Spellbinders die to punch out the image, then used a sponge to add color around the die.
I hope you enjoy the card and don;t forget to come back every day for more great inspiration!

Thank You Cat

Happy Wednesday 2 Cute friends, today I am sharing a card featuring Thank You Cat Digi. Isn't that face adorable? I have wanted to use this image for a while and finally printed it out and colored it. I colored the flowers to go with the pattern paper I used. After I made the card I thought it needed a little something. I found this ribbon and knew I wanted to add a bow somewhere, around the flower stems was a perfect spot. I love the way this turned out.

It's Monday....

Hi everyone,
Hope your work week is starting off on a high note. I've had 2 cups of coffee already, so my mojo is working LOL. Since it's Monday, that means that it's time for another creative creation from yours truly, Jodie...

This little guy is adorable, and since Father's Day was yesterday, I was feeling inspired to do a masculine themed card.
I also tried something different, coloring in the image with my Distress Inks. I used a waterpen and simply picked up the colors directly from the ink pads. This techniques is still a work in progress for me, next time I will try watercolor paper and see what sort of results that will yield.
Hopefully I've inpsired you to step out of your compfort zones and try something new! Have a great Monday and don't forget to come back everyday and see what fabulous designs the other team members have created.
Take care - Jodie

Owl Card

Happy Saturday 2 Cute followers, Gwen here. I hope the weekend is treating well so far. I know we've been super busy the past couple of days. My niece, Jenna, is up from Florida. She spent the night Thursday night and again last night. There has been a lot to catch
up on as she is seven years old and we haven't seen her since last summer.

We were talking about some of her favorite things and she said she loves owls. When I picked my image from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps I chose one that would be good for her. This adorable little owl that Heidi designed. I girled it up a bit for Jenna so it would appeal to her more.
We all really like it and I hope you do too.

Howdy!!




Good Morning....late again, sorry!  :(

I've made a Father's Day card for my handsome hubby using Original Cowboy Kid Digi.  He is my favorite 2 Cute image and he is so much fun to color.  This was going to be a card from my son to Daddy for Father's Day but I came up with a cute sentiment for the inside and made it from me instead.  :)


I used my new Basic Grey, Max and Whiskers DP and a few buttons from my stash tied with jute.  Perfectly simple card thats not overdone to give to a man.  (I had a hard time not adding ribbon.  LOL) Now if you'd like your own Cowboy Kid image, click here.

If you'd like more details on this card, including a list of the Copic marker's I used, please check out my blog HERE.

See you next week!!

Another Week Has Begun...

Good morning everyone,
Monday is here again, and that means another creation by yours truly, Jodie. The ThankYou Kitty digi stamp was just what I needed to create this adorable card!

This little guy was colored in with my Copic markers, then I colored in the flowers a second time and pop dotted them up for added dimension. The flowers are from Prima and I used Dew Drops for the center.
I punched out the butterly and added crystals for the body to give it extra bling, because let's face it, we all could use a little more bling in our lives!
Thanks for looking and don't forget to check back tomorrow when Wendy will show off her fabulous creation!

A Little Thanks for Some Everyday Heroes


Yesterday we spent the morning touring the Washington Court House Fire Dept. Our guide was so patient with all of the kids and wonderful about explaining things on terms they could understand. He was even patient with me and my picture taking...not to mention my questions.

All the kids had a fantastic time looking over the trucks, sitting in the truck and even spraying some water from a hose...just like a real fire fighter. The trip was a HUGE success!

I decided to make a special "Thank You" card to send to these everyday heroes. Heidi at 2 Cute Rubber Stamps has the perfect little image to use on my card too. A little girl dressed in fire fighting gear, click HERE to see her. So, cute...really!

Happy Hump Day

Good morning everyone. I can't believe it's Wednesday already. Today I am sharing a card featuring the Original Cowboy Kid Digi that is available in Heidi's Digi Shop. I made it a point not to color him in red, white and blue. I'm try to break out of my typical color combos and for this little red, white and blue are what I automatically think. I only used the blue because it went with the DP I decided to use. It truly was tough not to add some red but look I did it, lol.


I adore this little guy and think I would love to see him in different costumes. What do you think? I'm see him as a policeman or super hero in a cape. Heidi has a special section on her blog for your suggestions. She is looking to us, 2 Cute fans, for inspiration. If you have any ideas please feel free to share them here.
Hope you come by tomorrow to see what Crystal has to share.

Special Feature: Judith



Happy Tuesday Everyone!!  Today I'd like to spotlight feature one of our 2 Cute fans, Judith.  She made this card for our last Challenge which featured our very own Hula Hoop Hamster.  Judith is super talented and I just love this card.   I love the way she has the hula hoop coming off the main image and the shadows created under the flowers.  The pink and designer paper she used flow together just beautifully.  

We love our fans and wanted to thank Judith for sharing this adorable card with us!!

Little Cowboy Card

Today is another chance to show off a super cute stamp designed by Heidi. I made this little card for a little buck-a-roo who is not feeling too well. His name is Lennon and he is four years old. He is undergoing some intense chemo therapy right now due to malignant tumors in his brain and spine. Needless to say...this little guy could use some cheer in his little world...I'm guessing his mother could too.

Here is my card...

Colored with Copic markers and used misc. papers from my scrap stash.
The little rootin-tootin cowboy was adhered with 3-D Dots to add dimension.

If you would like to send a card to Lennon you can visit my blog HERE look at the left side bar
and get the details.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Thank You Cat



Good Morning everyone, Wendy here a little late this morning after a wonderful 3 day Memorial Day weekend. Hope you had a great long weekend too!

Since all of the images at 2 Cute are just so adorable, I have a hard time picking one to play with. (Which is a good problem to have LOL) So for the last few weeks I've let my little one's pick their favorite and this week was 2 year old Brooke's turn. Her choice and a good one at that was Thank You Cat.  I've been wanting to play with this image before it was even a stamp.  How is that?  Well, Heidi our super talented Owner/Designer shows her sketches on her blog and asks her fans for feedback on them. It helps her to know what her fans would be interested in seeing turned into digital, cling, or wood mounted stamps.  When I saw her sketch of Thank You Cat, I let her know that I would love to see it as a stamp...okay, I begged, LOL. Put the point is, she listens and now here it is. :)

Make sure to pay Heidi's Blog a visit. Go vote and make your comments and suggestions on her sketches and your favorite might be in the next 2 Cute Rubber Stamp release. She also keeps you updated on everything she's doing with 2 Cute and showcases fan projects too.

As always if you'd like more information on this card, be sure to check out my blog Here.

Thanks for stopping by!!
