Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #190 - April Showers
Hello, crafters! Today begins a NEW CHALLENGE over at Crafty Gals Corner! And the theme for this challenge is: April Showers (Add clouds, rain, umbrella, puddles, etc.). Our amazing sponsors for this challenge are:
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images
(Formerly Lacy Sunshine)
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images
So do I need to tell you how much I LOVED coloring the image I used - Rory's April Showers May Flowers from COLOR OF LOVE? She is a beautiful image! Here she is:
I decided I'd go with my Spectrum Noir markers on her. For some reason I had a lot of trouble trying to capture her photo, but she really does look better in person. Maybe it's all that rain splashing into my camera lens! Haha! Anyway, I did several of layers to mount her onto paper from The Paper Temptress.
I hope that you will join us for this fortnight's challenge! And thank you so much for stopping by!

Now let me share with you my project....a Spring Flower Decor! Because of the colors, I was trying to get it to not look "Fall". I wanted to give it a Spring look. So here is my process:
Supplies
Step 1: Paint the base color, inside and out
Step 2: Sponge paint at least 2 colors over the black
Step 3: Add cording or rope, beginning at the bottom
Step 4: If you have vertical "cracks" like I had, fill in the cracks
by gluing on some flat cording. (Optional)
Step 5: Add more orange cord to hide the ends of yellow cord
Step 6: Now add small cord on top of orange cord (Again, optional)
Step 7: Add orange cord on top edge of rim and yellow cord
on top of the cords on the base
Step 8: Add floral foam to the inside
Step 9: Add Sheet Moss
Step 10: Begin adding greenery and your floral
FINAL PROJECT
NOTE: To add to my mixed media Home Decor, I crocheted orange "slices" and
added them to the bottom of the flower pot
I hope that you enjoyed my project and that it gave you some inspiration! And be sure to join us by going to the current challenge tab and clicking the InLinkz button! Thank you for stopping by!

Guest Designer Project for TaylorMadeCards4U - Envelope Mini-Album
Hello, fellow crafters! Thank you so much for stopping in! Today I'm excited to share with you a project that I did as a Guest Designer for TaylorMadeCards4U.com. What a beautiful set of papers I got to work with - My Mother's Garden Digital Kit! I also want to mention that TaylorMadeCards4U are also sponsoring Crafter's Castle Challenges for the month of April!
Below is a video on how I made this album:
My mother has been gone over 30 years now, so this brought a little joy, a few tears to my eyes, in remembering my mother. And one of the things I remember the most about my mom, was that she absolutely LOVED roses! She had rose bushes everywhere! She never ever used any kind of chemical on them to make them grow....they just grew in abundance!
Before my mom passed away, we drove by her house and there was not one rose on any of the bushes (we were stationed at an Army base at the time). The next thing I heard was my mom exclaiming..."Oh! My roses!" and I thought, oh no, she's going to be sad because there aren't any roses....and the next statement she made threw me for a loop. She said, "Aren't they beautiful!?"
I truly believe this was God allowing her to see her roses that she cherished one last time, as she went on to Heaven 2 weeks later. What a memory for me! So I dedicate this project to my Mom and rose lovers everywhere! I hope this will inspire you to create too!
I hope that you find this inspirational and that you will come back for more inspiration!

Crafty Gals Corner #189 - Easter is On It's Way!
Hello, my fellow crafters! We have another new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner! This fortnight the challenge is:
Easter is on its Way
Our amazing sponsors for this challenge are:
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images
Prize ~ 2 Sets
Prize ~ 3 Digital Stamps
Now let me share with you what I used....the CUTEST IMAGE EVER! I absolutely love this digi - Easter Mice by Polkadoodles. I knew right away that I wanted to use my Prismacolors for this image. It just felt right. So I did! Lol. I did use some gel pens on parts of the image, though, but the majority was using Prismacolors. I also used papers from the Paper Temptress. If you need some great paper, that's the place to go!
I hope that you will join us for our new challenge! And have fun with it!! That's the most important part of creating....enjoying what you do!
