Crafty Gals Challenge - #268 Fill in the blank: Dad's ____________

Hello and Welcome back to my blog! If you view my blog, you might notice that I'm missing some challenges. The truth is, I've been going through some sickness and missing my husband. Our sweet Challenge Coordinator for the Crafty Gals Corner, gave me time off so I could heal physically and emotionally. She a wonderful team leader. So, let's get on with the challenge, shall we?

 The theme for this challenge is:

For this challenge, I chose a cute little bee/flower digital. At the time, I was thinking...it's so cute. Surely I can figure out what to make with this image (with a few doubts in the back of my mind). But! I figured it out! And here is what I made:

Buzzing

So, for my card, I decided to make the buzzing theme to become dad’s birthday! I love how the bees turned out and I’m so excited that they came out so well. In the thistle, I had to look up what they look like and I came as close to it as I could. All in all this is a cute image and there’s a lot of things one can do with this image.

This cute little image came from SheepSki Designs (the specific image link is under the picture). I hope that you will join us in this fun challenge! See you there!

Using: Roses

LeAnn's World 101

This week's challenge was anything goes with a twist of fancy fold card. I chose to do the Z fold card, angling the third panel. I colored my roses with ink oxides, and then didn't a little bit of colored pencils inside the roses. The inside of the card is pretty self-explanatory. Everyone on the team did a great job. I love how creative everyone is, and how creative our entrants are. So I hope that you will join in the challenge! 

Have a great week! And a great Father's day next week. Thank you for coming by. 

Many blessings,

I love the the fact that we can do anything for this project. So as I sat and pondered about it, what did I do? Ummm...another card! 😂 Here is my card:

Jeanie

Using:  Leprechaun Hat with Shamrocks

Pattie's Creations

As you can see, it wasn't the regular card I normally do. I'm not sure, but I think it's called a 3 panel trifold card. Anyway, it was very fun to do! 

There are a lot of tutorials out there to show how I made my catd (that's how I got it 😂). I did a lot of layering and I used a small heart punch to make the shamrocks. Also, I used my new set of markers by Artskills. I must tell you...they are GOOD markers! I love them!

I hope you will join us in this month's challenge! We love seeing the diversity of cards!

Have a blessed day!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #232 - Anything Goes

Hello, fellow crafters! Here it is July already!! Wow! I can hardly believe it! So that means we have a new challenge over at the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog!  The theme for this challenge is:

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Twinkle Lane Designs

Prize ~ £8 Gift Certificate

(to be used on digital content only)

Using: Heleniums

Twinkle Lane Designs

I absolutely LOVE this image! I used my Tri-blend markers on the flowers, but for the butterfly I used gel pens. I then made a recessed panel card, using stripes and plain white to set off the colors in the striped paper. I have a lot of 6x6 dsp, and I just need to start using them! I felt this paper in particular  really shows off the flower.

I hope that you will join us for this challenge! It's so fun, and you never know...you just might be a winner! (Although...everyone is a winner in our eyes!)

See you there!

Blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #223

Hello, fellow crafters! It is already time for another new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! This month's theme is

 Hello Fall

Our amazing sponsors for this month are:

Dr. Digi's

Prize ~ 2 Digital Images

Pattie's Creations

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

 

SheepSki Designs
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

For my card this month, I chose a cute image with some bees and a flower called Buzzing! I love this little image! Here is my card:

Using: Buzzing (#249)

SheepSki Designs

I colored the image with my TriBlend Markers. I happened to have some "insect" paper so it was easy to find the perfect background for my card. After I colored and mounted the background paper, I placed my image on and added a sentiment. I figured...in my opinion, anyway...that the bees' wings needed to have some shine to them, so I used Diamonds Stickles glitter glue. I simply mounted everything together and it was done! Cards don't have to be complicated to be pretty, right?

I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! And be sure to join us next month, too!

Blessings,

So I'm definitely late in posting this, for some reason (maybe all the medical things happening in my life)? Anyway, the challenge is still going on over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge blog, so be sure you check it out!

I absolutely love this image from Ike's Art! It made me think of my dad, so I thought it would be perfect to do and place it on this sunburst thin cut, and make it red, white, and blue. So this card was in memory of my dad who fought in WWII. He's been gone a long time now, but I still think of him and how much the war affected him. Miss you dad!

I hope you will join! Next week will begin a new challenge for us! Stay tuned!

For this challenge, we are celebrating the men in our lives! I decided that I would make a Father's Day card so my grandchildren could give their Dad a card. Here is my card:

Kidz Dad Girl

Bugaboo Stamps

I thought that I'd do something a little different for this card. Anyway, for me it was different. Before I made the card base, I made the tie out of blue cardstock with black underneath. I then cut out my digital and colored her. Once that was done, I placed her onto the tie, and then did my matting for the card base. Some ribbon and buttons added, and it was done! 

This was such a fun card to do! I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! But most of all, have fun with it, and stay safe!!

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!

Instead of making a typical card for Father's Day, I decided to do a bit of wall art for my honey. I made a mixed media background, and placed my car right into the center. Here is my project:

I think he deserves a little something different now and then. He's always been such a big support to my art habit! 

I hope that this will inspire you to join in on this challenge! Let's see what you create!
