All Dressed Up

Prize: 2 Digital Images

I had a very hard time choosing which image to use, but in the end I finally decided to use Time to Shine by All Dressed Up. What a cutie this image is! Now here's my card:

Isn't she an adorable image?? So, with the theme being "Add a Star", I decided to go with making a huge star in the background, using my Silhouette to not only cut out the star, but to print out the design for my paper. I then thought she needed more bling, so I added the pearl and rhinestone star you see in the top right corner and added streams of rays coming from it. For the little lady, I used my Prismacolrs to color her up and added some Stickles and Wink of Stella to help her shine more. I used a blue glitter pen to trace around the words "Time to Shine". And what is shine if there isn't even more bling, right? So on to adding more bling around the edging of the card!

I sure hope you enjoyed this little card of mine! And I appreciate your stopping by! I read each and every comment that comes through...I would love to know your thoughts!

Please join us in this week's challenge! We'd love to have you.

Createful Heart Digis & Design 1st Blog Challenge!

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to share with you this new Blog Challenge - Anything Goes! Createful Heart Digis & Design  begins it's 1st Challenge today! Since this is a new challenge, please be sure to read over the Rules. Now on to my project!

I decided to go with the Serenity image. I love how she is sitting there, and on her shoulder sits a little butterfly! What a lovely image this is! I decided that, rather than making a card for my first "official" project for CHDD, I'd make a tag. Hopefully, by now you know that I love making tags anyway! And she seemed perfect for this! Here is my tag:

I also decided that I wanted to give her red hair. I love red hair! I always wanted red hair as a child, but of course, my brown hair did not turn red. Lol. So I used my Prismacolors and colored up my image. I knew I wanted to use some flowers on my tag, so I went ahead and made 3 flowers just for this tag. I used my Silhouette to cut out the tag shape, added some lace, twine, bling, and stamens to decorate. I also used a leaf applique from KPKre8tions.

I do hope that you will join us in this 1st ever Blog Challenge for Createful Heart! Please be sure to spread the word! And if you're on Facebook and use one of Mary's images, please share it with us on her Facebook page!

Outlawz Color Challenge Aug 15th, 2017

Hello, my fellow crafters! Today begins another new week of Color Challenges over at The Outlawz! And for the month of August, we have the wonderful Mari Digis as our sponsor! For our inspiration for this week, DT member Kimberly Pate has given us this very special photo to work from! It's a gorgeous sunset. When you enter the challenge, please be sure to tell us what inspired you! I was inspired by the colors and the botanicals.

Now on to my card.

I thought this Mari Digi image was perfect for what I was wanting to create. I decided on making a swing card. I used my Silhouette to cut it out...makes it so much easier with arthritic hands! I colored her with my Prismacolors, made some cherry blossom flowers, added sequins, and other embellishments. The hummingbird you see up there is from Reneabouquets. And the lovely green leaves are made by my very good friend, Kimberly Pate, of KPKre8tions. 

I sure hope you drop by and show us what you've created for this week's challenge! We love to see all the beautiful talent out there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes Challenge

Hello, crafters! I hope you're having a wonderful day! I'm here to share with you my DT card for this week. This week our sponsor is Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.

"Welcome to the brilliantly bizarre brain of Dr. Digi's House of Stamps.

Here you will find monsters, aliens, odd balls and Dundertons as well

as many many more wonderful digital stamps with a sense of humour."

Prize: 2 digital images

For my project, I went with the Gramaphone. I'm not into monsters, etc., but I love vintage and old time items from long ago! They are fascinating to me! So I decided to go with this digital. Here it is:

I forgot to take pictures of the side view, but this is definitely a step card. All the supplies I used will be in the upcoming magazine for September/October TTCRD Magazine. There are a lot of great ideas and inspiration in that magazine! 

I hope you will join us this week for the challenge! And be sure to check out the other DT's inspirational projects! Remember, it's always Anything Goes!

Outlawz Color Challenge - August 8, 2017

Hello, crafters! Today begins a new Color Challenge over at The Outlawz! And for this month, we have the awesome sponsor "Mari Digis"! The winner will receive the 3 images that the Design Team have worked with for this month! Such cute images!

I have to say, I LOVE the photo inspiration for this week! The colors are fantastic! And those teacups...so cute! You need only to pick 3 of the 5 colors, with a twist of Vintage. I love doing anything vintage! 

Now on to my card. This little girl riding on her bike...wow! She's so adorable! I used floral paper along the sides of the blue paper to give it the vintage feel to it, plus added laces, doilies, and flowers to further give it that feel. What's vintage without flowers and lace? (To me, at least...Lol) I used Prismacolors to color her. I cut out the sentiment with my Silhouette. She looks like she's answering someone who may have said, "What do you think you're doing?" And she says "I'm riding my bike, what do you think I'm doing?" Lol. I love the little heart on her left eyelid!

I hope you will come join us for this week's challenge! There's so many talented artists out there, and the Design Team Members have given such great inspiration! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Tags/Box Swap with ScrapbookingwithME Boutique

Hello, fellow crafty peeps! Today I want to share with you another project! I was recently in a Tags/Box swap with a Facebook group, ScrapbookingwithMe Boutique Members Page, where you had to make 8-4x2" tags and put them in a box. You could either make the box or alter one, as long as you put them into a box. My sister had recently given me a cigar box, so I used it to put the tags in, making sure it had plenty of room for some goodies. Here is my project...I hope you like it!

The Butterfly in Glittered Paper along with the Fastener are from ScrapbookingwithMe Boutique. The top of the box has Liquitex Glass Beads, which are also available in the boutique. Some of the laces are from the SBWM sister group, Lighthouse Stop n' Shop.  All the flowers, the stick pins, and butterflies are made by me. I had a wonderful time making this! 

I hope my Swap Partner likes what I did. It was delivered to her today! Yay! 

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to check out those links, too! :)
