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 #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:

Crafty Sentiments Designs

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

The Cutting Cafe

Prize ~ 2 Sets

Polkadoodles

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!

FB Group ~ www.facebook.com/groups/755491167893180/

We have an awesome Photo Inspiration by fellow DT Member, Cara. Here it is:

Beautiful greens, right?? But there is a TWIST: ADD A CACTUS

So now here is my card:

I used my Silhouette Cameo 3 to cut out my cactus and my sentiment. I thought "Hug Me" was just so cute to put there! And I added 4 layers of greens underneath my cactus. The dark area around the cactus form is actually a very dark green (looks black, but trust me, it is green!).

I hope that you will join us for this challenge! The DT have done a beautiful job with their designs!

Prize ~ $12 Gift Certificate

Now, let me share with you my card followed by the list of Design Team Members for the Hop. Be sure to stop by each one, as some are giving away prizes!

My card is called Winter Bird - Snowman by Bugaboo Stamps. It's a real cute little image! Here is my card:

My card is pretty CAS, but I didn't want to take away from the image. That bird looks quite serious in getting his snowman made! I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the image and the card base out and colored them up with markers. Then I just kind of decorated around the edge of the card with my gel pen. See? Quite simple, but oh so fun! Now on to our list of designers...and if you get lost, just come on back here!

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 Challenges #174 - 3+ Layers!

Hello, crafters! And welcome to my blog and another challenge with Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! What an exciting challenge this is! I love adding layers....the challenge is: 3+ Layers. Our amazing sponsors for this week are:

Digital Delights

Prize: $5 Gift Certificate

Conie Fong

Prize: 2 Digital Images

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize: $12 Gift Certificate

Now on to my project for this challenge! I love Conie Fong images! Always have! And this one is no exception: Alanna.

I had such fun with this one! And I knew exactly what colors I wanted to make her! I also wanted to make her into a Christmas Tag. One of this first things I did was to print out 3 images. I cut out one using my Silhouette, and the 2nd one I fussy-cut only the head (that almost sounded gruesome!). The 3rd image, I only fussy-cut the flowers. I colored the same colors on all pieces. I then used 3D to layer the head onto the head of the full image. I loved the effect this gives with the shadowing!

Then I cut out my tag, layered it with Christmas paper from my stash, then layered again with a smaller piece on top of that (centering it), and then another strip of paper to make my 3rd layer (3+ layers). I added her on top of the 3rd layer, added some glitter glue on her flowers and bodice, and then added rows of gold rhinestones on the top and bottom of the tag. 

For the tie at the top, I just used some really thin gold cord and slid some tiny "jingle bells" onto it.

Wow! What fun she was to do! 

I hope that you will join us in this challenge! And I always appreciate your stopping by! Thank you!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #170 - Christmas in July

Hello, fellow crafters! And those who absolutely love making Christmas cards and crafts! Today I want to share with you my card for the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #170...but first

Our sponsors this week are:

Scrap N Dipity

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Rick St. Dennis

Prize ~ 2 Digital images

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize ~$12 Gift Certificate

I had the joy of using an image from Bugaboo Stamps called Christmas Girl Presents. I love this image! She's all ready for Christmas! (I usually am last minute gift finding!!) Here she is:

To me, Christmas means....besides the most important meaning of the birth of Jesus Christ...lots of sparkle and glimmer! And believe me, she's got it! I used my color markers on her, plus a lot of stickles! The Merry Christmas sentiment is done with Deco Foil (a new found "love" of mine!).

I hope that you can join us! We would love to see what you create!

Outlawz Color Challenge - July 17, 2018 - Add a Butterfly

Hello, everyone! It's time once again for another Color Challenge over at The Outlawz Challenges! 
For this week, we have a Photo Inspiration from fellow DT member, Jacqui, with the challenge to use all 5 colors and Add a Butterfly! Here is the inspiration:

Some challenging colors, but oh so natural! Now here is my card, using an image from

Ching-Chou Kuik

I have started a coloring class by Kit and Clowder, and this image was the one given for this specific class. If you need more learning techniques, this is the place to go! This image had a lot of detail into her, but she was so much fun to color! 

Our Sponsor this month...with a prize of 3 images...is MariDigis!  I hope you will join us! There's a new challenge each day of the week...so pick one...or two...or all!! And have fun!

Hey, thanks so much for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #168 - Anything Goes!

Hellooooo, crafters! We have started a new challenge today. This week the challenge is: Anything Goes. And our amazing sponsors are:

Twinkle Lane Designs

Prize: Two Digital Images

 & Two Coordinating Digital Paper Sets 

The Paper Nest Dolls

Prize ~ The 3 Digital Images used by the DT

Ike's Art

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

Wow, how cool is that? Not one sponsor, but three! So let me share with you what I did, using Prom Avery from The Paper Nest Dolls: 

I really had fun playing with the colors on this one. I decided to add a crown to her, and used my laminator to put Gold Deco Foil on it and added some tiny rhinestones. I colored her in with my Prismacolors, but then added Stickles to her dress and the pink part of her hair (I thought that would be fun to give her a streak of pink hair). 

I used my Silhouette Portrait to make the stairs card. So much easier for me than using my hands! I added a few elements (like the gold shoes and also a sentiment).

I hope that you will join us for this bi-monthly challenge! It's always a treat to see all the wonderful talent out there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Outlawz Color Challenge June 19, 2018

Hello once again, fellow crafters! I'm here to share with you this week's The Outlawz Color Challenge and my project! First off, a big THANK YOU to Digistamps4Joy for sponsoring this week's challenge! The winner for this month will receive a $10 Gift certificate to the store! So be sure to enter for your chance to win!

Now, before I show you what I did for this week's inspiration, here is this week's color board:

What a beautiful board to play with! This week's twist is: Add a Circle! Now let me show you the card I made:

For the life of me, I cannot find where I got this image. I searched and searched, and found no watermark or signature. So if you recognize it, please let me know by sending me a link to their site! 

As you can see, my main colors are the turquoise, the green, and the lilac colors. And I do have a circle, it's just scalloped! If you look closer, I did an embossing with dragonflies within little circles. Pretty cool, I thought!

I hope that you will join us for this week's challenge! Let's see what you'll do with the twist! 

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

Outlawz Color Challenge May 29, 2018

Hello, crafters! Yes, I admit I'm a little late in posting my card for this week's The Outlawz Color Challenge, but life has just been really hectic lately, with illnesses and other things. But, I'm here now! And I want to share with you this week's inspiration! But first, this week's amazing sponsor is:

Fabrika Fantasy

Our winner will get 3 digis

 Now here is the photo inspiration for this week:

Aren't the colors gorgeous!??! So I decided to do an image from Fairy Tangle Art, called Forget Me Nots. She is one stunning image! Here is my card:

The colors from the inspiration were absolutely perfect for my card! I used all Prismacolors on her and then just added layers and embellishments. 

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