JessicaLynnOriginal - Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!

Hello, Crafty Peeps! Do you know what time it is?? 

It's time for the 

Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop

The DT for JessicaLynnOriginal stamps is joining in the fun AND is one of the sponsors for this amazing hop!  Here is my first project using the Fall 2017 Coffee Blog Hop Stamp #2.

I have a coffee station in my kitchen, which was looking kind of plain without any decor above it. So I decided I'd make a piece with one of the newest digitals! I started off by coloring my image with my Prismacolors. Then I printed off the coffee design paper you see there in the background, using my Silhouette Portrait. I had some "watercolor" paper and thought it would go perfect with it. So I added that, some black, and some burlap to the background.

As you can see, my frame has metallic looking colors to it. It didn't have that before, so I used some white Gesso onto it to prime it. I then painted black acrylic paint on top of that, then some Art Alchemy Sparkle to the top of the frame. I used my heat gun to dry it faster. Then it was time to put it all together! And I must say, I was happy with the results!

We would love to see you join in on the blog hop using one of Jessica's design! And please feel free to post them to Jessica's Facebook page and in the Fall Coffee Lovers Bloghop.

Visit all of my design teammates. See what they've done!

Now that we have all that out of the way, here is the card I made for my project. I used the image Victoria. 

I really enjoyed coloring her in! I love the Victorian style images anyway, along with any of

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. 

I sure hope you join in on our challenge! There are prizes to be given every time!

Thank you again for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - #140

Hey there, Crafty Gals! Or maybe even some Pals!! Today I want to share with you this week's challenge. This week our amazing sponsor is

The Paper Shelter

Prize: $15 Gift Certificate

Those are some cute images on that site! Love them! So this week our Challenge is - ADD A HEART

Here is the card I created for this challenge:

I went with the Josephine image. I thought she looked so classy! And a classy lady like her looks great in pink and black! I used my Silhouette Portrait to cut out the dimensional layers...the background green tree, the top layer with the flowers, and Josephine. I mounted all those onto black cardstock so they would pop better.

I added all of my embellishments, including the heart at the bottom. But did you notice the pink paper's background? Hearts! So....I added plenty of hearts for this challenge! Lol.

I hope that you will join us over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! And thanks for stopping by!

Outlawz Color Challenge 9/12

Hello, crafters! I hope and pray that everyone is staying safe out there! Today I want to share with you my card for this week's Color Challenge over at The Outlawz!  Our sponsor for this month is the very talented Andrea Norris of...

Sheep  Ski Designs

Our winner will get 3 digis from the store!

And our PHOTO INSPIRATION IS...

Now, I know that mine is more of a yellow in color, because that's what my screen showed. But then looking at it another angle...after I had it all colored...it totally changed on me. (Yes, I'm sticking to that excuse!) Anyway, here is my card for this week, using Snowman Selfie. 

This is really a pretty simple card (for me, anyway). I used green as the foundation for the card front, and printed out my Snowmen on white cardstock to color, using my Prismacolors. I then matted them onto the front of the card and trimmed around the edging. I added snowflakes on the 4 corners, using 3 small ones and 1 large one and adhered a rhinestone onto each one.

Simple! I had such fun coloring these fellas!! I hope you join us in this week's challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

Accordion Mini Album Facebook Challenge

Hello, crafty peeps! I hope that you're having a wonderful day! Today I want to share with you a project I did with a Facebook group, Cardstock & Bling. Since I had never made an accordion album before, this was a real challenge for me! Thank goodness they provided a tutorial link! Whew! Here is a link for that YouTube channel: Kim Kan't Stop Krafting. If you do decide to make this awesome little album, be sure to watch it through first, as it has some pointers in there.

Here is my album, using some Prima paper. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of it and I no longer have the cover to the pad. (insert sad face here....)

Front View (Cover)

Back Cover

Side View

Single Pocket Inserts

Double Pocket Inserts w/Magnetic Inserts

Because this posting includes a tutorial on the making of this album, I won't go into that kind of details. But suffice it to say, it was challenging at times, but I really enjoyed it. The tutorial was very well made. I do plan on making more! 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Outlawz Color Challenge - Sept 5th

Hello, crafters! Today began a new Color Challenge over at The Outlawz! And for this month, we have a new sponsor: the amazing SheepSki Designs!

Our winner will get 3 digis from the store!

Here is our Photo Inspiration picked out by our very own Kimberly Pate:

Now let me share with you what I made and the image I used: 

Jean's Cherry Blossom

I did use my Prismacolors for this image. And since the inspiration photo had the yellow in it, I decided to go with the yellow flowers. I mounted the image and embellishments onto a piece of Kraft paper. Under the image itself is a piece of gold metallic "mesh" someone had given me. I kept wondering what I was going to do with it...and voila! There you have it! It makes a great piece for under the image! The butterfly is from Reneabouquets, along with the Diamond Glass Glitter on the flowers. 

I can't wait to see what you create for this week's challenge! And thanks for stopping by!
