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 & Designs - 1st DT Project

Hello, crafty peeps! First, I want to remind you of a new Digital Etsy Store and that the Challenges will be posted on the blog! The name of the new Digital Challenge Blog is Createful Heart Digis & Designs! This is a fairly new blog, so I hope you come on out and support this amazing new site!

To start off, Mary Smith, owner/creator of this site, is holding a Facebook "Mini-Challenge" for this month from July 8th through July 21st. She also has a free digital to give away for you to be able to download and enter the challenge! How awesome! So, as my first project as a new Designer for Createful Heart, I used the same image that she's giving away to members of her group and made a card with it. Here it is:

Isn't he just the cutest little bug?? This image is the Dragonfly Hi digital. Can you see the wave of his little hand? Just an FYI here: the edges of the 2 background papers were distressed with an electric distressing tool! Have you ever heard of one? My sister bought it in the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby, and I was like....WHA...??? Anyway, she let me use it (no, I didn't put it in my purse when I left her house...Lol). And then I took some Tim Holtz distress ink and went along the edges of the papers. 

I sure hope you come join us! Thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #128

Hello, fellow crafters! Today starts a new challenge over at the Crafty Gals Corner blog! "Any Holidy" is the theme for this week. And we have 2 wonderful sponsors for this challenge. They are:

Rick St. Dennis 

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Lemon Shortbread

Prize: 3 Digital Images

For my card, I chose the Christmas Poinsettia by Lemon Shortbread. She is so cute! I have to admit, with my eyes having some issues right now, I had some trouble with the coloring. They're on the mend, but I wish it would hurry up! Drives me crazy! Lol! Anyway, here is my card:

Front with Window View

Inside

I used a Sizzix die to cut out the window and my Silhouette to cut out my image and the sentiments. Of course, I used my Prismacolors on her. 

I hope that you will join us this week for the challenge! Be sure to check out the Design Team inspirations too!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #126 - Emboss It!

Hi, fellow crafters! I hope this new day is finding you fit and well! Today begins a new challenge week over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges with the theme of:  Emboss It!" The sponsor(s) for this challenge are:

Lia Stampz

Prize: 2 Images DT Used

Star Stampz

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So for my card this week, I used the Warmest Wishes by Lia Stampz. I thought this was such a cute digital to work with! Here it is:

Front of Card

Closeup of Embossing

I realize that the embossing is hard to see, hence the closeup of the dry embossing on the purple mat of the card. I used a snowflake embossing folder for this part. I then wet embossed the snowflake.

Coloring these were pretty easy to do. I used my markers for these. To give it the extra "bling", I added stickles to the digi pieces. I then added the sentiment that comes with these digitals and some Tim Holtz tinsel around the edges of the card. 

This was a fairly simple card to make, and yet it's so fun with all the colors to it! I hope you join us for this fun challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

This was SO MUCH FUN! It was something new for me, as I had never altered a bucket before. Needless to say, it was a lot easier to do than I thought. Here is my project:

JessicaLynnOriginal New Stamp Release!

Hello, crafty peeps! Today I want to share with you my first of 2 cards for the release of a new stamp set: Yorkshire Terrier stamp set from JessicaLynnOriginal.  I LOVE this set! My sister has had a few of these dogs, who passed away. She did find another Yorkie to love. He's so sweet! But I thought that a card for her would be great and lift her up, as she's had a lot of things going on. This stamp set is perfect for that!

Here is my card:

Front of Card

Inside of Card

Since this is going to my sister, I wanted to make it a little more feminine. And I also wanted to try this new technique (for me, anyway), called masking. As you can see, only part of the little Yorkie in the back is showing. Here's a link if you'd like to try it: Masking Technique by Inkadoodle.

The card base itself was cut out with my Silhouette, and I used my Big Shot for the mounting piece in the center of the inside card. I used some colored markers to color my dogs. I had to use the tiny hearts and paws from the stamp set...they're soooo  cute!

I hope you like this project and join us in our Facebook group. 

Here's a picture and link of the new stamp set:

Please be sure to check out my teammies and see they're creations! They have some gorgeous work! And if you decide to purchase any of the stamps or digitals from the store, kindly remember to put my name in the instructions/comments section during checkout. Here's a list of the DT)

Spring 2017 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop Share #2!

So, I made another project for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop! And my husband wants it! (Really? Awesome!) So, he's going to hang it on the wall by his computer. 

I decided on this round to make a tag to hang like a little wall plaque. I normally use my Prismacolors to color in my projects, but I bought some markers to see how I liked using them. No, not Copic or any of the other name brands, as I wanted to experiment on markers first without spending a lot of money. After all, Prismacolors have been my go to for a long time, and I hesitated going into another medium.

If you go to JessicaLynnOriginal, you'll find some awesome stamps, even a free one! So you can join in too!

Now here is the tag:

I must say, for being cheap markers, they were very well worth it! I hope you join in on the hop too! I never imagined there were so many wonderful coffee digitals out there! So fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

TTCRD Challenge March 21st

Guess what time it is?? It's time for another new challenge week over at Through the Craft Room Door!   And this week we have Little Miss Muffet sponsoring us. 

Here's a little bit about Little Miss Muffet stamps:

Welcome to... Little Miss Muffet Stamps!
A little bit of fun in a lot of different ways!

Hi everyone, I am Barbara Sproatmeyer, aka ForgottenScraps, and I am the owner of Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I love coloring and I love stamping! However, I think the best part about this is I get to share it with my own Little Miss Muffets who love to work by my side. Their personalities and adventures come out in the stamps that I draw, whether it is the day we roasted smores for the first time or when they discovered how high they could bounce on their hip-hop balls. They continue to be a source of amusement and inspiration. LOL

Little Miss Muffet Stamps began in January 2011 and I'd like to give a shout-out to my family and friends for their encouragement and support - thank you! I am also very fortunate to have a fabulous design team and I'm reminded of their talent every week when they show off their awesome creations. For oodles of inspiration, make sure to see what they've created over in the LMMS Gallery or LMMS Challenge blog for lots of creative ideas.

Little Miss Muffet Stamp products are created by myself and other talented artists including Bugaboo and Pollycraft. (For more fabulous images available in digital form, you can check out their sites.) I also stock a variety of other brands and products that offers you more of a selection and increases your buying experience, such as products from Raley's Confectionary, C.C. Designs, Make it Crafty and Whimsy Stamp.

Now here's my card: I used Polka Dot Pals Neomie Easter.  Isn't she adorable??

Inside of Card: Twist Pop Up

This was a new kind of card for me, but it was so very much fun! To see the supplies I used, be sure to check out the upcoming magazine! There are a lot of new and exciting techniques to be seen and learned, for sure! And come join us for this week's challenge: Through the Craft Room Door.
