Here is my card:

Now, while this may not look like the typical Easter card, this lady is celebrating it, as you can see by the "Let's Celebrate" in the sentiment and in her Sunday best. These papers are from Shabby Papers Hub www.craftycity.com Facebook Page. , Celebrate. These are some gorgeous papers and I knew it would be a beautiful card piece!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #160

Hello once again, fellow crafters! It's time once again to announce that we have a new challenge going on over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges!  And for this bi-monthly challenge #160, we have 3 amazing sponsors!

Twinkle Lane Designs

Prize: Two Digital Stamps & Two Digital Paper Packs 


Digi Doodle Studios

Prize: 1 Digital Image


Mari's Digi's

Prize: 1 image used by the DT

For my card I used the Tea Time by Digi Doodle Studios. This is one adorable little digital! Here it is:

My little ladies there were colored using the Ohuhu markers. I'm still getting used to using markers instead of my Prismacolors. They will always be my "go to" coloring technique! I did the basic mounting on cardstock and added embellishments to "liven" up the card. And of course, it had to have some bling!

I hope you will join us in our challenge for this go 'round. Lots of prizes to be given! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! As always,

Blessings!

Koala T Crafts Love Bug Card

Hello, crafters! Today I want to share with you a card that I made using a digital called "Love Bug" from Koala T Crafts (Jen's new store!) He is such a cutie! And he is the digital for the Progressive Challenge in the Facebook Group of Koala T Crafts.

Here he is:

Don't you think the sentiment goes pretty well with the bug? Lol. Now, rather than telling you my process of what I did and used, check out my YouTube channel where you'll see what I did. 

I hope you do check out the video! And please Like and Subscribe! Thanks for watching!

TTCRD Mar-Apr 2018 Web Challenge

Hello, crafters! I want to share with you my project for Through the Craft Room Door  Web Challenge for the upcoming March/April 2018 online magazine! For this challenge, a Mixed Media project is what's happening! Here is my project - a Mixed Media card. I don't do a lot of those type of cards, but I thought I'd try my hand at one for this time around. 

I put a lot of texture and various types of pieces, embellishments, and so on in this project. I was happier with it than I thought I would be. To see all the supplies I used in it, be sure to check out the upcoming TTCRD Online Magazine Mar/Apr 2018 issue! And you'll see a lot of great tutorials in there as well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Through the Craft Room Door Feb 13 Challenge

Hello everyone! I am posting this a bit late...technical issues...but I'm here now posting the new challenge of Anything Goes over at Through the Craft Room Door!  This week we are proudly sponsored by the amazing

Sheepski Designs

Prize: 3 digital images of choice

About our Sponsor:

Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK, working full time as a Management Accountant, currently working on 2 design teams and an obsessive crafter and creator of cards. I have no actual style as yet but do love the unusual and quirky. I may be known for producing cards in soft pastel colours.

I love anything arty. I've always drawn stuff, for as long as I can remember. In my younger days I sold a few watercolour paintings. I recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers.

I had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I could gel with. January 2016 a challenge team I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so I drew some. I opened my shop a month later so I could sponsor challenges and give something back to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey.

I've a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges, some for fun to win digis as well as my monthly card challenge. I've a SheepSki Designs challenge blog as well. Things are growing slowly (thankfully) so I still manage to spend at least a little time with my hubby :D

So now I want to share with you my card for this challenge:

I love this image! And she was a lot of fun to color! All the details of the supplies will be in the next online magazine of Through the Craft Room Door's March/April 2018 issue. Be sure to check it out!

Blessings,

Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #159 - Add a Heart!

Hello, fellow crafters! Today begins a new Challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner! We hope you will join us! This challenge, our sponsors are:

Scrap N Dipity

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Cute as a Button

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So here I am to show you what I created, using an image from Sprap n Dipity! She is "Looking for Love - Fairy Ambrosia".

She is such a sweet fairy! I had so much fun making her! I used my Prismacolors to color her, but first I laid out the color foundations by using markers for a "base" color. Then I added Diamond Glass Glitter on her wings and stickles on her heart. I prepared a base out of white cardstock, covering it with printed designer cardstock and adding a lace ribbon to the left of the card. For my wooden hearts, I used Versamark to emboss with red embossing powder. Then I added the sentiment "You & Me".

I hope you will join us for this challenge! Even though today is Valentine's Day...why not celebrate the whole month, right? 

Thank you for stopping by!
