Sending Bugs and Kisses Box-January Design Team challenge

Posted on January 6, 2026January 6, 2026 by mymessycraftroom5

Happy New Year crafty friends and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing my take on Karen Burniston’s January designer challenge which is “Bugs”. For those of you that follow along (and actually read) my blog you know that when I make a project I typically figure it out as I go. This project is definitely one of those. I started with a loose idea and then I went completely down the rabbit hole and ended up with this. Typically I add links through out the post but because most of these use mostly the same die sets I will link them at the end. If you follow the link, Karen has video tutorials for each set (just scroll down a bit once you get to the product)

I have to say I think these little critters are adorable!!!!!

Peek-a-boo Monster

Posted on October 7, 2025October 6, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

It’s spooky season and time to share my card for the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge. This month’s challenge is “Peek-A-Boo!” I wanted to make a fun card for one of my Granddaughters so I came up with this cute purple monster. I also have a mini monster peeking over the band on the front of the card. I knew I need to make 3 cards, for 3 sisters so I decided to make a series of Halloween cards using the same size card base, and the same colours and patterned paper. This card is the first of the series. I am also using some of Karens new stamps on this card.

Barnyard Bash

Posted on May 6, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

I just love how this card turned out and am excited to share it with you today. Today is the Karen Burniston design team challenge day and the challenge for May is to “make it fluffy”. I have a fluffy sheep, fluffy clouds, and fluffy icing on my cupcakes. I decided to make this barnyard bash card for my Granddaughters first birthday card. Her stuffed cow is her favourite so I thought I’d make her a cow with all her barn yard buddies.

Sand Toys on the Beach

Posted on March 4, 2025March 3, 2025 by mymessycraftroom5

At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to do for this month’s Karen Burniston design team challenge. Karens challenge to us is “Lake or Ocean”. Well as some of you know I grew up in a town that is on the shores of Lake Huron, so I knew I wanted to lean towards lake. I also knew I wanted to do something a little different than what I’ve previously done, or else would it really be a challenge 🤷🏻‍♀️ So I thought for a bit, what else can you do at the beach and then it hit me… play with sand toys. And this is what I came up with.
