Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #211 - Fall Colors

Hello, all you crafty people! Today we begin a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner!  This time our theme is: Fall Colours

Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is:

Digi Doodle Studios
Prize ~ 3 Digi Stamps

I don't know about you, but I think the Digi Doodle Stamps are just the cutest little images! For my card this week, I used the Cinnamon Chef cutie! Since the theme is Fall Colors, I went with the oranges, browns, etc. Here she is:

I don't know why, but I always seem to have trouble with the Fall colors, getting them the right shades, etc. But this time around, I think I got the colors I wanted. It really is a basic card: I colored her with Spectrum Noir color markers, mounted her on top of a  solid green layer of metallic paper from the Paper Temptress, added some printed paper, a sentiment and some flowers, and she was done! Oh, and an orange ribbon! 

We hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! You just might be a winner! And be sure to join in on the Digi Doodles Facebook Challenge too! 

Thank you for stopping by!

 Hello, fellow crafters! And welcome to my blog! We have a new challenge going on now over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! With this one (#200), our theme is Halloween Colors! Now, most of probably know that I don't celebrate Halloween, but I do love the colors! But first, check out our amazing sponsors for this challenge! (listed in alphabetical order)

Digital Delights

Prize ~ $5 Gift Certificate

Dr. Digi's

Prize ~ 2 Digital Images

Rick St. Dennis

Prize ~ 1 Digital Image

Twinkle Lane Desi
gns

Prize ~ Two Digital Images

 & Two Coordinating Digital Paper Sets

Now let me share with you my card:

This image is called Paris en Plume by Rick St. Dennis. I love doing realistic images, and coloring this lady in was so much fun! I cut her out using my Cameo 3. After I colored her, I mounted her on some design papers, and then mounted those onto a black with a white card foundation. I then added my embellishments. I really love using red in my cards, so putting red onto her fur piece, was a no brainer for me! Lol!

I hope that this will inspire you to join us for this month's challenge! And thank you so much for stopping by!

Many blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #192 - Fancy Fold

Hello, crafters! Today began a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner!  And for this challenge - FANCY FOLD - we have the amazing sponsor....

MoonFlower Digistamps

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

My fellow teammates and I have been very busy making our cards for this awesome theme! I LOVE fancy fold cards! So let me share with you what I made, using a tutorial from Dawn's Stamping Thought. This card is called an Interlocking Rectangle Gate Fold Card (here link HERE). I never want to take credit for something I made using someone else's tutorial. 

So here's my card:

Contemplation - Moonflower

Rather than telling you how I made the fold, I've added the link to the tutorial that I got. Mine is slightly different, but still the same technique. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color her in.

I hope that you will join us for this fortnight challenge! And thank you so much for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #191 - May Flowers

Hello, crafters! And welcome to another Crafty Gals Corner Challenge! I'm here today to share with you my project as a Designer with Crafty Gals. The theme for this challenge is: May Flowers (Incorporate flowers in your project)

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Digital Stamps

I hope that you will join us and share your project! Now, take a look at mine:

I admit I have used this digital, The Lady, once before, but she's such a fun digital I had to take a go at her again! I used my Spectrum Noir color markers on her. I also used papers from The Paper Temptress. I took a Sizzix Die Cut that add flowers and leave on it, and placed it behind her. I forgot to angle the die cut to get more of the floral to show, but you can still see some peeking through. I layered it on top of the white, and then added my colored digital. I then sprayed some liquid adhesive on after I placed her on top, and then sprinkled a little glitter on. Then I added the flower and floral lace to the side. 

I hope that this will inspire you to create! And thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #187

Hello everyone! And welcome to another challenge at Crafty Gals Corner! For this challenge, the theme is: Add a Shamrock/Clover

And here are our fantastic sponsors for this challenge are:

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize ~ $12 Gift Certificate

Ike's Art

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

Kitty Bee Designs

Prize ~ 1 digital image (non colored)

So here is my image for this fortnight challenge: Saucy Fairy.  And if you follow my blog, YouTube Channel, Instagram, etc....this is about as saucy as I get! Lol. But I thought she still had some "demure" to her, so I decided to make her into an "Irish Fairy". *wink wink*

I really tried to put a lot of thought to this, because, for some reason, even though I have some Irish blood in me, green is a hard color for me to do. That's why when I saw this type of a cut card in my Silhouette Library, I got excited and figured she would be perfect for this card! So to "town" I went!

I used my Spectrum Noir and Prismacolors on this saucy girl, and added glitter glue (Stickles) to her hair and wings. I cut out the LOVE using Shamrock paper from the Silhouette (SIL), added hearts and flower, along with some lace. And she was done!

I hope this inspires you to try out the challenge too! Lots of great prizes to be won! 

Many Irish blessings (and God bless you!),

Our awesome sponsors for this challenge are:

Sparkle N Sprinkle

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

I absolutely love my image! Here is my card for this challenge, Birdie from LeAnn's World 101 (link above).

This card is a pretty simply made card, and in order to add a heart, I decided to use some heart lace I had in my stash for some time. I love it, but just didn't really know where to use it. But I felt it was perfect for this challenge! I used my Prismacolors to color the image, and some papers I had in my stash.

I hope that you will join in on the challenge! Great sponsors and great prizes to be given!

Isn't this an awesome image? While I could have colored this myself, they had a pre-colored image that was just beautiful! I don't think I could have done any better. So all I had to do was put it together and embellish it. How cool is that!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #154

Hello, crafty peeps! Today begins a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner!  So for this week, we are doing ANYTHING GOES. Our sponsor for this week is the amazing Faery Ink. 

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So what I used for my project this week is a cute little image called Candy Cane Sitter. Here is the card I made:

I started off by cutting out my image and coloring her in with my new Ohuhu markers. I have to say, I really like them. I haven't had any trouble with them bleeding. I added some stickles onto her wings for some faery sparkle. I mounted her on ovals of white, green, and red. Then I added pearls on the top right, ribbon, and tinsel on the left side, and put a poinsettia on top of that. My sentiment was cut out using my Silhouette Portrait.

I hope that you will join us for the challenge! It's Anything Goes! Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge - #146

Hello, everyone! And welcome to another Crafty Gals Corner Challenge!  For this week, we have 2 awesome sponsors of our Anything Goes challenge! They are:

Kitty Bee Designs

Prize ~ 1 Digital Image

Delicious Doodles

Prize ~ 4 Digital Images

For my project, I decided to make a Tag this time, rather than a card. Tags are one of my favorite things to do. So I used an image from Delicious Doodles, Lovely Lillies. To start off with, I wanted to get the shape of my tag down, so I used my Silhouette Portrait for this. I chose a shape with 2 layers. I added a pattern paper from the SIL on both layers, combined them, and did a print and cut. I had already colored my image using my Prismacolors. I love red, so my lilies became the deep red you see Here:

I used all the laces and wedding appliques from the Facebook Group, Lighthouse Stop n' Shop (check them out...great prices) and the flowers in the corner are from Secret Garden Crafts. The leaf applique in the corner is from Kimberly of KPKre8tions. I used hot glue to adhere my embellishments on. 

So there you have it. A finished tag! I am happy with the colors of it...hopefully I'll get to trade it with someone soon!

Be sure to check out the challenge! There's a new one every week! And thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #142 - Anything Goes

Hello, fellow crafters! Today began a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This week the challenge is Anything Goes! I'm so excited to share with you who are amazing sponsors are! They are the amazing.....

Alicia Bel

PRIZE: $10 Euros

AND....

Lacy Sunshine

Prize: 3 Digital Images

So for my Anything Goes project, I decided not to do a card this time. I wasn't really sure what it was I was going to be doing with the image, Senara, so I decided to go ahead and cut her out using my Silhouette, and then color her with my Prismacolors. Once I got her done, I thought I'd like to do a shaker, but not in a card. Instead, I decided I'd make a stand up type of frame. Here it is:

 Front

Side View

I began by cutting out 2 pieces of chipboard, about 6"x8". You know those packages you buy with double sided tape (such as score tape)? I used the clear plastic covering for my shaker piece. I placed that piece (the clear circle you see in the images), on top of the card stock I wanted for the front of the frame, and traced it where I wanted the shaker to be. I then cut that out and slipped my clear plastic piece inside the hole I just made. I then  placed a piece of card stock on top of the chipboard and glued that onto the board. I put some sequins inside the shaker piece and mounted that and the card stock it was in, on top of the other card stock. 

I distressed around the edge of the chipboard and added a sentiment and some die cuts onto the top, placed her on the frame with 3-D pops, and swirled a pearl strand and some rhinestones around the frame. Lastly, a bow was added to the top of the frame.

This was different, but it was so much fun to do! And I love the result! Oh yes...I made a stand out of chipboard for the frame to stand up. How fun is that??

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will enter our challenge!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - #140

Hey there, Crafty Gals! Or maybe even some Pals!! Today I want to share with you this week's challenge. This week our amazing sponsor is

The Paper Shelter

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

Those are some cute images on that site! Love them! So this week our Challenge is - ADD A HEART

Here is the card I created for this challenge:

I went with the Josephine image. I thought she looked so classy! And a classy lady like her looks great in pink and black! I used my Silhouette Portrait to cut out the dimensional layers...the background green tree, the top layer with the flowers, and Josephine. I mounted all those onto black cardstock so they would pop better.

I added all of my embellishments, including the heart at the bottom. But did you notice the pink paper's background? Hearts! So....I added plenty of hearts for this challenge! Lol.

I hope that you will join us over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! And thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #138 - Anything Goes

Hello once again, crafty peeps! We've started a new week of challenges here at Crafty Gals Corner. And we hope you will join us! For this week, our sponsors are:

Delicious Doodles

Prize: 4 Digital Images

 &

Scrap N Dipity

Prize: 3 Digital Images

I was very excited to do the image I chose this week's project. She's gorgeous! And I know there were are lot of things I could have made with her, but she just needed to be the main feature on a card, in my opinion. She would also look great on a tag (hmmmm....next time?). So, here is my card, using Beautiful Blossom by Delicious Doodles.

I used all Prismacolors on her, leaving her dress a white. I wanted her to have red hair, so I gave her several layers of red, then took an eraser and put in some highlights in her hair. I thought yellow would go great with her, especially because of the green leaves, so I did the flowers and the butterfly in yellow with highlights of black, added some lace with yellow in it, and adhered some flowers I got from Secret Garden Crafts. And she was done! No added bling like I normally do....

Thank you for stopping by! I do hope you join us in this week's challenge!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

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.
