TTCRD Challenge - Week of February 19th, 2019

Hello, fellow crafters! Today began a new challenge over at Through the Craft Room Door!  And for this challenge, we are sponsored by the amazing Createful Heart Digis and Designs!  

I'm excited to share with you my card for this week's challenge as a Design Team Member with TTCRD. Here it is, using Beau & Butterfly!  

I thoroughly enjoyed doing this image. Such fun! And...if you'll notice....I added a bow and a butterfly (Reneabouquets) to my card. Unintentionally! But it just happened and seemed so fitting! 

I hope this will inspire you to enter our challenge! Thank you for stopping by!

Createful Heart Digis and Designs Challenge #13!

Hello, crafters! Today started a new Challenge over at the Createful Heart Digis and Designs Challenge Blog! We hope you will join us! This month, it's ANYTHING GOES with an Optional Twist: Add Lace. I LOVE lace! So of course, it was no option for me...I did it! So here's my card:

For my card, I decided to go with the Ahna digital. I love the vintage look, so this image was perfect for it. And of course, adding lace even better! While my lace is on the bottom of the card, I thought her neckline also looked a little lacy, so I left that with only a black edging. The cherry blossoms on the bottom right were flowers I had made, while the leaf applique was from KPKre8tions . She has some wonderful product there. 

I discovered something new (for me anyway). I'm now using Bristol paper to color in my images, and it actually seems to be working so much better than the paper I had before. So I printed her on the paper, colored her, and then hand cut her out (my SIL mat was messed up, so needless to say I sure missed it cutting out the digital for me!). 

I sure hop you will join us for the blog challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

Createful Heart Digis & Designs Challenge #8!

Hello, crafters! Today I want to share with you my card I made for Createful Heart Digis & Designs, Challenge #8, using: Country Sara (1 of a set of 2)! She was such fun to work with! Here she is:

As you can see, I used a lot of glitter paper in my card. Winter makes me think of snow and ice, and when the sun shines down on all that, it's all SPARKLY!! And I love sparkly....but not ice, though! 

So the foundation of the card was made with white cardstock. I then layered the silver glitter paper on top of that to give full coverage on the front of the card. I then added strips of blue glitter paper on the top and bottom. I colored Sara and kitty with Prismacolors and trimmed her outfit with Stickles. I added some blue snowflakes I had in my stash and added a sentiment "Winter Fun", since the theme for this challenge is Winter. 

And there you have it! I hope that you will join our challenge! You just might be a winner!!

Createful Hearts Digis & Designs - Challenge #6

Hello, fellow crafters! Today I want to share with you that Createful Hearts Digis & Designs has begun a new Anything Goes challenge today! So that means I want to share with you what I did for this project, using one of Mary's images (of course!).

I went with one of Mary's newer images, Cynthia 1920 Chic. I'm telling ya, this Flapper Girl is so pretty! One of my faves! Now let me show you what I did with her:

Of course, the first thing I did was to print and cut her out with my Silhouette. Then I decided on what colors I wanted her to be in, using my Prismacolors. Then I used different colors of Stickles to put "dimension" on the beads in her cap. Once finished with her, I cut out another piece for a "frame" around her, and mounted that on top of a black card base. I added some wedding applique from the Facebook Group, Lighthouse stop n' shop.  There's a ton of lace in there, for very reasonable prices! 

After that was done, I simply added a sentiment and she was finished! I hope you like her!

Thanks for stopping by!

Outlawz Color Challenge - November 7th

Howdy, crafty pardners! Today begins a new Color Challenge over at The Outlawz! Our Sponsor for this month is...........

$12 in Gift Certificate

And this week our very own DT Member, Kimberly, has chosen the Photo Inspiration! Here it is:

Let me tell you....one of the Design Team Members made her card using bench die cuts...and it was awesome! Why didn't I think of that? Haha. Seriously, check the DT inspiration cards! :)

I love this image I got from Createful Hearts Digis & Design! This one is called Pumpkin Patch Kitty.   I think this little kitty is wanting a fresh, homemade pumpkin pie, don't you?? 

I used my Silhouette Portrait to cut her out, along with the white leafy pieces up there. I printed out the sentiment from my Silhouette, but just used my Trimmer to cut it out. I simply layered pieces together and added a few embellishments, and she was done!

I hope you will join our Color Challenge this week! And thanks for stopping by!

I made it pretty colorful, didn't I? Lol. But I love all the Fall colors in this image. I used my markers to color it al in, then layered onto cardstock, added ribbon, pearls, and the sentiment. Such a fun card!

Fall 2017 Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!

Hello, Crafty Peeps! The Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop
Is almost over with! So I wanted to share with you my final card for this fantastic hop!

Here is my 4th and Final Fall Coffee Lover's Bloghop card! I can't believe it's already almost over! So let me show you what I made:

For this card, I used an image by Createful Heart Digis & Designs called Perkin' Up! You can tell by her look, she is anticipating that first taste of coffee to get her mojo going! I do that too! Ha!

I colored her with my Prismacolors, and added some black and yellow lace onto a mounting sheet that called 50's circles on red patter digital paper that's in my Silhouette Portrait. I thought it was perfect for her! I used pop dots to adhere her to the paper, but I didn't use those for the sentiment. I then mounted both pieces onto red cardstock.

I hope you enjoyed this and that you will join too! There are so many sponsors! Yay!

the vintage looks. They are so fun! I decided to make this card in the reds and purples. 

I used my Silhouette Portrait to print her out and cut a fancy border around her. I then 

layered her on black paper and added in my embellishments and flowers.

Createful Heart Digis & Designs Card

Hello! I hope you're having a great and crafty day! I am on the Design Team of Createful Heart Digis & Designs, but when I saw one of Mary's (the owner) newest digi, I just had to have it! So I want to share it with you today. Here she is, Vintage Angel

This is one of my faves! I used all Prismacolors on her. The background paper is a Silhouette design I printed out and cut to the size I needed. The butterfly was also printed and cut from my Silhouette. I did add flowers from Secret Garden Crafts (Archana Joshi's shop). I hot glued a strand of pearls around the image to give her more of a focus.

And....just an FYI here....there's a challenge going on over at Createful Heart! The first one ever! So be sure to drop in and enter! There are prizes to be given away!

Thank you for stopping by!

Createful Heart Digis & Design 1st Blog Challenge!

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to share with you this new Blog Challenge - Anything Goes! Createful Heart Digis & Design  begins it's 1st Challenge today! Since this is a new challenge, please be sure to read over the Rules. Now on to my project!

I decided to go with the Serenity image. I love how she is sitting there, and on her shoulder sits a little butterfly! What a lovely image this is! I decided that, rather than making a card for my first "official" project for CHDD, I'd make a tag. Hopefully, by now you know that I love making tags anyway! And she seemed perfect for this! Here is my tag:

I also decided that I wanted to give her red hair. I love red hair! I always wanted red hair as a child, but of course, my brown hair did not turn red. Lol. So I used my Prismacolors and colored up my image. I knew I wanted to use some flowers on my tag, so I went ahead and made 3 flowers just for this tag. I used my Silhouette to cut out the tag shape, added some lace, twine, bling, and stamens to decorate. I also used a leaf applique from KPKre8tions.

I do hope that you will join us in this 1st ever Blog Challenge for Createful Heart! Please be sure to spread the word! And if you're on Facebook and use one of Mary's images, please share it with us on her Facebook page! 

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw
