For the Ladies - Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #219

 Hello once again, fellow crafty gals and guys! And welcome to this month's challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner where it's all about the ladies this month. Hence the Theme is: 

For the Ladies

Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is:

MoonFlower Digistamps

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

I am excited to share with you my card for this month's challenge using one of MoonFlower digistamps images! I am using Lady of the Roses . What a fun image she was to color! Here she is in my final project:

I used my Spectrum TriBlends to color her, and mounted her on various pieces of cardstock. I absolutely LOVE the designer paper I placed under her! Lovely Paper Packet. The stickers I put on were in my stash. The coordinating cardstock is Lovely Coordinating Cardstock, which I obviously used the pink. ;) 

This card can be used for various reasons: birthday, Mother's Day, Thinking of You, and so on! So many ways! 

I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! Great prizes are given every month! Check it out! 

Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge - January 2020

Oh my goodness! Has 2019 already come and gone?? I can't believe we've already started a brand new year....2020!! I hope that last year was good to you, and that this New Year will bring you a lot of blessings! 

So for this Crafty Gals Corner January challenge, we are "celebrating" winter! Our theme for this challenge is: 

Winter Fun

And our sponsor for this challenge is:

The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Digital Stamps

Wow! Did you see that the winner will receive 3 Digital Stamps as the prize? I hope that you will join us for your chance to win the prize! Now let's check out what I made for this month's challenge. I used an image called Penguin Friends.  I think the penguins are just so adorable!  Here's my card:

I love the sentiment for this card! It was perfect for the image! Although I'm not a big fan of winter/cold weather, cuddling is one of the benefits for staying warm throughout the season! (I don't know if I really need a reason to just hug, as I am a huggy kind of person anyway...lol.)

My card is pretty CAS. I basically just mounted her onto a card foundation with 2 colors, black and pink. I hope the pink is showing up for you ok. I'm working with 2 monitors, and the one is more pink than the other. 

I originally had her in blues, but for some reason it didn't set well with me. I like the pink better, in this case. I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color her.

I hope that you will find this inspiration for you to join our challenge! Thanks for stopping in!

Blessings,

So for my card, I got the cutest little penguin and polar bear! Waddles and Chubbs! They are ADORABLE! Here it is:

I colored them with my Spectrum Noir markers. Before I adhered it to the black mat, I added a gold foil sentiment by using my Foil Quill Pen from WRMemory Keepers. And I love how it turned out! I then mounted everything onto the cardstock pieces with a white foundation for the card itself.

Thank you so much for dropping in!

The Theme for this challenge is Fall Colors

Our sponsors for this challenge are:

Crafty Sentiments Designs

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Fabrika Fantasy

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

So for my card this challenge, I used an image by Crafty Sentiments Designs (link above), called Blitz.  Here it is:

I love the Fall Colors! And the cooler weather (although I think Spring is still my favorite season, and Christmas is my favorite holiday).  She looks like she could be dancing through some leaves and enjoying the nice weather! As you can see, I used several layers, and I also added some embellishments to my card. To color her, I used my Spectrum Noir color markers. The designer paper right behind her, was perfect for the theme! 

I hope that you will join us for this challenge! We love seeing your entries! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #179 - Fall Colors

Hello! Here it is again, another new challenge from Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  And this time we have the theme of  FALL COLORS!  Our sponsors are:

This week the challenge is: Fall Colours

Our sponsors this week are:

Polkadoodles

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

Scribbles Designs

Prize: $10 Gift Certificate for Images Only 

Cute as a Button

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Wow! Who can believe that it's almost Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner?? Another year has flown by! So for this challenge, Fall Colors, I chose to do the Marigold, The Darling Buds by Polkadoodles Designs.  Talk about a cutie! I love their images!

So for today, I chose to make a tag using my image. Here it is:

I used various layers of paper from The Paper Temptress. (Very good quality paper!). As you can see, they are all Fall Colors. I used 3D foam dots to "pop" my image on top of the orange paper. I added a yellow banner at the top and put gold rhinestone trim, and then added flowers. There are several different layers of twine for the top of the tag. A good friend of mine gave me some stickers that are very similar to "Dazzles", so I used gold as the trim around the layers. 

I hope that this has inspired you in some way, and that you will join in on the fun! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge - Thankful

Hello, crafters! Today begins a new challenge for us over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  This week the challenge is: Thankful

Our sponsors this week are:

Morgan's Art World

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

OddBall Art

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

Fred, She Said Digital Designs

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize ~ $12 Gift Certificate

Wow! What an array of sponsors! Love it! So much to choose from! But for me, I chose these amazing butterflies from Morgan's Art World - Garden 16.

Here is my card:

As you can see, I tried to match up the colors of the papers (from Paper Temptress) with as close to the colors of the butterflies as possible. And it seemed to work great! Yay! The blue paper is a textured paper....very fun to work with too! And those butterflies...wow! They were gorgeous and because of the shadowing on the images, it makes it so much easier to color.

I hope that this has inspired you to join us for this challenge! We love seeing your cards and projects!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - Halloween Colors!

Hello, fellow crafters! And welcome back to another challenge with Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This week the challenge is: Halloween Colours.  Our sponsors this week are:

Scrap N Dipity

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Lacy Sunshine

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Ike's Art

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

 While I don't celebrate Halloween, I do love the colors! They're such fun! So here is my card using an image from Lacy Sunshine, Rory's orchids!

 She was such a fun image to color! I thought the colors went very nicely with her, giving her an auburn red hair to go along with the theme. I used a Kraft card base, and hunter green and white cardstock to be the mounting pieces. My sister had given me some beautiful glitter washi tape, so I thought those would look great as a finished background.

I hope you found this to inspire you to create and enter into our challenge! See you there! And thanks for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #171 - Tropical Colors!

Hello, ladies and hopefully, some gents too! We are starting our first challenge for the month of August with some amazing sponsors! This time, the theme is: TROPICAL COLORS! Here are our sponsors:

Our sponsors this week are:

SheepSki Designs

Prize: 3 Digital Images

All Dressed Up

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Creative Bug on the Loose

Prize ~ 5 Digital images

Wow! It was so hard to pick one image to do for this challenge, as all 3 sponsors are fantastic! But in the end, I have chosen to do Beach Baby by Creative Bug.  What a cute title for a cute little image. So here is my card:

There it is, in all it's Tropical colors glory! Lol! I'd say there are plenty of them on there, wouldn't you? I added some diamond glass glitter on the sand to make it more "sandy" looking, but the picture here doesn't show that. However, the shadowing on the sand from the artist, made it look sandy. So...it was all good! I did use Bone China Ink Oxide for the cloudy background. 

I hope that you will  join us for this challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! See you there!

Spring Fairy - Digi Stamps 4 Joy

For this card, I used my Prismacolors. I have been trying to use my color markers more often, so I can practice using them. But for this card, I felt the colored pencils were more of what I needed. :)

I added pearls to the left side and ribbon on the right side. As you can see, I used plenty of buttons! Both the flowers and the leaves are actually buttons! Aren't they cute?? And for the life of me, I can't remember where I got them! But they were so perfect for this card!
