Greetings

Sorry this post is going up so late, I've had problems getting it to publish for some reason today....

 

 I'm just popping in quick to share my card for Christmas Card Challenges! This week our optional challenge is No Coloring.

 

 

 

I decided it would be a great time to use an image I've had for awhile but have been kind of intimidated to color. It's from Sparkle Creations, now that she's been inked up once I'll need to get her colored! I just added some felt snowflakes, sequins, and gold washi tape. The papers are sooo old that I don't even have the collection marked anymore, sorry!

 

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to play along.



Lovely

 Hello and happy new year!! I'm ringing in 2014 with ABC Challenges. We're on to C for colorful.

 

 

I used an image from Sherri Baldy, who is one of the sponsors for our challenge. I thought I'd try something different and used watercolor pencils and Derwent Inktense pencils to color my image. I love those pencils, but definitely need to keep practicing! The paper is Webster's Pages: New Year New You. A simple ribbon and button finish it off.

 



 

Thanks for looking!

Christmas Gift Tags

Hello! There's another challenge up for Christmas Card Challenges. This week is Anything Goes.

 

 

I made gift tags for Christmas with my husband's family this year and really enjoyed it so I decided to try and make some throughout the year so I could use them for everyone's gifts in 2014! I used a snowflake embossing plate (I think it might be from Taylored Expressions, but am not sure, sorry!) The Joy snowflake from JustRite was embossed with gold embossing powder. The paper is CTMH Aspen, the sentiment is from Verve.

 



 

Thanks for looking! I hope you continue to play along with us for 2014!!

Peace

 Hello again! There is another challenge up at Christmas Card Challenges. This week our optional challenge is to make a masculine card.

 

 

I love the Winter Wishes paper pack from Echo Park and even though it has a touch of purple in it, I loved the plaid paper for a masculine card. I colored this cute snowman from CTMH with copics and then added Stickles to his hat and ground and then glossy accents to the bird, and his nose and buttons. The sentiment is from Verve and is embossed in silver. I used Deconstructed Sketch #130.

 

 

Thanks for looking! I hope you have a chance to play along. Have a safe and Merry Christmas on Wednesday!

 

 



 

Happy Birthday Bailey Bee!

Hard to believe it, but my sweet little Bailey turns 4 today!

 

 Bailey loves all things princess, which is fitting since she is quite the strong willed princess herself! My husband says her stubbornness reminds him of someone, but I have no idea what he means...

 

 

Maybe that's why I loved this Queenie and Princess image from Saturated Canary as soon as I saw it. I decided to practice coloring with Distress Markers for this image. Overall I liked it. I added a bunch of Stickles and Glossy Accents to the image. The paper is Webster's Pages: Allison Kreft Recorded. I thought the crown border die from MFT was also fitting. Some bling and Verve seam binding ribbon finished it off. The sentiment is AmyR and you can't really tell it in the pics but after I stamped it I embossed with clear embossing powder and glitter. It is really, really sparkly in person!

 

 

Oozak's Challenge #28: Something old, something new is fitting for this card. It's a new image colored with new markers with a paper pad I've had for awhile. Well, gotta go. I have to clean my house for a PARTY!!
