Hi, fellow crafters! Here is a new technique that I learned recently, in making 3 card backgrounds with 1 diecut, and cutting it one time! That's right...not 3 times, but once! I hope you will check it out! And if you haven't subscribed, I hope you will and hit that notification bell! Thank you! Hugs!

Crafty Gals Challenge #212 - Halloween Colors
Hello everyone! And welcome to our October Challenge #212 over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! This month, we are celebrating HALLOWEEN COLORS! While I don't celebrate Halloween, I do love the colors!
Here are our amazing sponsors for this month:
Prize ~ 2 Digital Images
For this challenge, I am using Cornucopia from Ike’s Art. I love this image! It's a good way to use all of those fall colors! So of course, I started out by printing out the image, and deciding what colors I wanted to use and if I wanted markers or pencils. I decided to go along with the markers from Spectrum Noir for this, as there is a lot to the image.
With my leaves, I wanted them to look like they were turning fall colors, so I went ahead and put various colors down first, then a very light green, and then a brown tone on top of that. To get the depths of the shadowing on the fruit, I used a light brown for added shading. And with the cornucopia, I added some gray to it. Of course, I used darker colors for the first layers first, then the brown and gray for the depth of shadows.
I mounted my image on some red and black onto a white cardstock base, and then added my sentiment. Done!
I hope that this card will inspire you to join us in this month's challenge! And thank you so much for stopping in!
Blessings,

The Power of Practice Card Blog Hop!
Hello, fellow crafters....that means YOU! And welcome to the
POWER OF PRACTICE BLOG HOP!
For those who are just starting out in your card making, I have something very important to tell you....PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! Yep, that's what I said. If you have a desire to start making cards or you've already just started, BRAVO for you! And if you look at your card and say...UGH! This sure isn't as good as the others I've seen! Well, take heart, my crafty friend....everyone has had to start somewhere! So don't give up! All it takes is practice. Even if it's just a few minutes a day or week....DON'T GIVE UP!
So, let me share with you a card I made for my first Design Team project (I'm actually surprised they accepted me). I totally was learning...totally! Here it is (from My Besties):
Now, while this isn't my very first card...I have no idea where that is...it is one of my very first cards! I was learning at that time how to actually color the images. The fancy fold design was ok, but that coloring! I had a lot to learn! And, I'm still on that Design Team!
Here is one of my most recent cards I made using an image from Stephanie Sybile Art:
One of the things I did as I went along, was look at a lot of YouTube, Pinterest, and fellow designers to get ideas and tutorials on how to color, adjust the size of images, and so on. And then I'd practice doing those things. After doing thousands and thousands of cards...okay, maybe not thousands...I have come a long way, but I am still practicing. There is always room for improvement! But the point is, DON'T GIVE UP! If it's truly something you want to do, then it's important that you KEEP GOING!
Now here is the Line-Up for the Designers who are participating in this hop. Be sure to check them all out...some may have prizes!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #211 - Fall Colors
Hello, all you crafty people! Today we begin a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner! This time our theme is: Fall Colours
Our amazing sponsor for this challenge is:
Digi Doodle Studios
Prize ~ 3 Digi Stamps
I don't know about you, but I think the Digi Doodle Stamps are just the cutest little images! For my card this week, I used the Cinnamon Chef cutie! Since the theme is Fall Colors, I went with the oranges, browns, etc. Here she is:
I don't know why, but I always seem to have trouble with the Fall colors, getting them the right shades, etc. But this time around, I think I got the colors I wanted. It really is a basic card: I colored her with Spectrum Noir color markers, mounted her on top of a solid green layer of metallic paper from the Paper Temptress, added some printed paper, a sentiment and some flowers, and she was done! Oh, and an orange ribbon!
We hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! You just might be a winner! And be sure to join in on the Digi Doodles Facebook Challenge too!
Thank you for stopping by!

Summer Time Card!
Hello, fellow crafters! Today begins a new monthly challenge over at the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge Blog! I hope that you will be inspired enough to join us! The theme for this challenge is called Summer Time Fun! How fun is that??
Our sponsors for this challenge are:

So what I made was a slimeline card, which seem to be very popular these days! My card is from Stamper's Delight, titled Summer Time Fun! She's a very cute image, so I thought I'd color her in the pink and green hues. I thought about "going blonde" with her hair, but I changed my mind and decided a brunette color would like better on my card.
I printed this paper on my Silhouette Cameo 4. And instead of cutting her out separately, I just placed her directly on the card front and then colored her. Here is my card:
So I've got 2 monitors that I use....the laptop one, and then the TV one which is hooked up to the laptop. Both monitors show a different color of the greens, pink, and purple. I hope it looks better on your monitor! Lol.
I did use glitter glue on her, because she seemed pretty much of a diva to me. ;)
I hope that you will be inspired to join us! Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner #209 - Fantasy World!
Well, hello fellow crafters! I'm so glad you dropped in! Today begins a new challenge for the Crafty Gals Corner. The theme for this challenge is: Fantasy World
Our awesome sponsors for this challenge are:
(in alphabetical order)
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images used by the DT
(in alphabetical order)
Colour of Love
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images
https://www.facebook.com/groups/LacySunshine/Prize ~ 3 Digital Images
Prize ~ 2 Digital Images
For this challenge, I had the privilege of making 2 cards! The first one is called Flower Petals. Here she is:
She is from Colour of Love by Heather Valentin. I absolutely loved working this cutie! I used my Spectrum Noir color markers to color her in, but I wanted to give her a little extra oomph, so I added some stickles and diamond glass glitter. Then I added layers to mount her on.
My next card is Your Name is Like Honey from Cute as a Button.
I thought this one was just adorable! Did you notice the little bee on her nose? Lol! I made a daisy and put it to the side of her, and used some dsp that had bees on it, to compliment the image. I wondered why I bought it before, but now I know!
Well, there you go! I hope that these will inspire you to join in on our challenge! We love seeing your projects! Thank you so much for stopping by!
