The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Digital Stamps

I absolutely love my image from The Paper Shelter!  She's perfect for the Summer Theme! Here is what I did:

Using: Little Mermaid on Vacation

  The Paper Shelter

For the background to my card, I used Close to My Heart ink pads: Charcoal and Capri. I used my Tri-Colors to color in the image. For the paper, I used Paper Temptress (you'll find a lot of beautiful papers there!)

Though it's a pretty simple card, I felt that I wanted the image to stand out more than anything, as it's a sweet little image!

Be sure to join our challenge this month! Who knows? You just might be a winner! (Although we consider all winners in our eyes!)

Until next time,

Many blessings!

Christmas in July - Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #232

Hello, fellow crafters! Guess what time it is?? It's time for a new monthly challenge over at The Crafty Gals Challenge Blog! The theme for this challenge is: 

~ Christmas in July ~

Our sole sponsor for this challenge is  

Beccy's Place

Prize ~  $10 Gift Certificate

I just LOVE Christmas! So I'm always excited to make something for Christmas! And it's never too early to start making Christmas cards! I never seem to have enough or I forgot someone! 😲 So, here I have my card, using a Poinsettia Set from Beccy's Place:

Poinsettia 2 with Sentiment

I love working with poinsettias. They add a special classy touch to a card. So the first thing that I did, was to print my images onto a white cardstock (Paper Temptress) using my laser printer. Then I placed red deco foil onto the image and sentiment and ran it through my laminator. I was going to leave it white, but I thought it too plain, so I colored the image. I placed that onto a piece of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" of red mounting paper. And then it was done! 

I hope that this card inspires you to do a Christmas creation and to join our challenge! We always have such wonderful cards come in!

Thank you for stopping by!

MLCCB #45 Anything Christmas Goes

 Hello, everyone! And welcome to my blog! Today, I'm excited to share with you my card as a new Designer with Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog (or MLCCB). I've been wanting to get on a Christmas team, but with all the sicknesses I have dealt with for several months, I just wasn't able to do any searches. And now that I'm feeling better, I have become one of the designers over at MLCCB! :)

So, here it is, July 1st (can this be right??), and we begin our challenge #45. Be sure to check out the blog and enter! It'll be fun! 

I started by making a fairly simple Christmas card. Here it is:

First I made a base for my card. And....because I got the new hot foil glimmer machine, I of course had to use it! I wanted this to be an all foil card, so I did the sentiment in blue, with the pine leaves. I also used a Sizzix die to cut out an oval frame using gold foil paper from Paper Temptress. I got the foil plates from Spellbinders. 

It was a pretty simple card, but with the foil it gives it a class of elegance (I hope!). I hope that this card will inspire you to join us for this challenge! It can be ANYTHING CHRISTMAS, not just cards! Most of all, just have fun!

Blessings! Until next time,

Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #229 - Add a Flower!

(This challenge begins March 9th, 2022)

 Welcome to another Crafty Gals Corner Challenge!  This challenge theme is Add a Flower! Our sponsor for this challenge is......

Beccy's Place

Prize ~  $10 Gift Certificate

So for this challenge, I went with a beautiful image called Mum's Blossoms. And it was a freebie! How awesome is that?? Here is my card:

I love coloring flowers. There was a time when I didn't enjoy coloring flowers, but I've been practicing. :) To start off, I printed off my image on my laser printer, then I colored it with the Spectrum Noir color markers. I used a gel pen to color in my sentiment. I then used that same pen and put little dots around the flower, just to use as a filler. I then mounted it on a red glossy paper from Paper Temptress, a wonderful company that has an amazing variety of cardstock. Once that was done, I mounted the pieces onto the white cardstock foundation. And she was done! I did add a sentiment inside also.

I do hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! We love looking at the different ways of using our theme of the month!

Have a wonderful and blessed day,

Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

I have entered this card into the following challenges:

Splashy Mix Media October Challenge!

We have a new Splashy Mix Challenge for the month of October! And it's a beautiful board! You can create any mixed media project taking inspiration from the below moodboard. We would love to see what inspired you, 

hence please mention it in your post. Here is the board:

Please be sure to read the guidelines on the SMC site! Now take a look at what I have created for you this month! I hope it will inspire you!

Let me tell you a bit about my project. First off, I got the gorgeous canvas background from a website called KPKre8tions.  And you see that beautiful gold mask in the top right corner? That applique is also from her shop. She makes some of the most beautiful art! And with that said, those 2 pieces were perfect for this awesome moodboard! I waited a long time to use the canvas piece, as I wanted the perfect way to create with it. 

The gold, gray, and white papers (Celebrate and the cake) are from a company called Paper Temptress. Be sure to check them out too! I added flowers and lots of lace to this piece. In a couple of years, my husband and I will be married 50 years!! Yes, 50 years! I can hardly believe it myself! Maybe this can be used as a part of my decorations for a celebration? Perhaps! 

I had so much fun with this moodboard. Shylaa always creates some gorgeous ones! I used all 3 elements from the board: the mask, the cake, and the rose. Plus the 3 colors I saw were gold, gray, and white. 

I hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! Now be sure to check out our amazing sponsors and prizes listed below! And happy crafting!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #195 - Summer Fun!

Hello, everyone! And welcome to my blog! Today I want to share with you my card for Challenge #195: Summer Fun

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Digital Stamps

What a great fun challenge this is! I love The Paper Shelter! They have beautiful images! And what's more, if you don't have the time and you need a card in a hurry, they provide pre-colored images! How cool is that! Now here is my card - Cutest Ice Cream Cart.

With all the health issues going on, a death in the family, etc.....the pre-colored card was perfect for me! All I needed to do was to print it out and add some sentiments to it. Plus put her on some Paper Temptress card stock, add some bling, and add some Diamond glass glitter. 

I hope that you will join us for this challenge! We also love seeing what you create!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw

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!

And with that, comes our new inspiration for the week....A Tic Tac Toe Board! Here it is:

 For my project I chose the middle horizontal row. The Beach Chair, the Flip Flops, and the Color with texture on my project.

I am not a "beachy" person, but I was able to get it done, and it was what I wanted. How about that?? I used black shimmer paper from Paper Temptress. It's so gorgeous in person! I used my Silhouette to cut out all my images and sentiment, plus texture paste, glitter, and microbeads for the part of the Color with Texture. 

I hope that you will join us for the challenge this week! Lots of great inspiration by the Design Team! And thank you so much for stopping by!
