Snowman - Winnie Angel

Polkadoodles

Isn't she a cutie?? I really wasn't sure what colors I wanted to do....until I saw my background papers! It just happened to work out, so I went with the flow of it. 

I went with my usual TriBlend Markers (LOVE them), and be tween the image and the designer paper, I used an acetate sheet with stars all over. And then of course, I matted it. 

If you're one of the unfortunate people who are stuck at home because of weather...come join our challenge! It'll keep your mind off that cold, cold weather!

Prize ~ 2 Digital Images

Last Minute Manda

Prize ~ 3 Sets of Digis

Here is my card:

Here I'm using the Three Wise Men from Doctor Digi. I wasn't sure about the colors at first, but I thought they came out really good. 

For this challenge, I used my TriBlend markers, and the my white color pencil for the highlights. I then mounted it on some design paper and added to my white base. I added some rhinestones on top for the stars. 

It's really a basic card, but the colors give it the wow factor it needed. 

I do hope you join us for our last challenge of the year! And Merry Christmas! See you next year!

Crafty Gals Corner #249 - Dots or Stripes

 Hello, fellow crafter! We have a new challenge for this month. But before I go on with that, I have a question. IS THIS YEAR ALMOST OVER ALREADY?? REALLY?? I feel like it just began! So much has happened in my life, that makes this year a whirlwind year. Anyway, on to the project! 

For this month, the theme for this challenge is: 

~ Dots and/or Stripes ~

Jan's Digi Stamps

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certifcate

* * * * * * * * * *

Mirtillamente Craft Shop

Prize:  2 digis, 1 pad of digital papers "mini"

and the possibility of being Special Guest DT

I really love the image I got for this month. First, my image:

This little cutie is called Peppermint Mice from Jan's Digi Stamp Shop. First, I took some cardstock and used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to print and cut the image, along with the sentiment. I used my TriColor Markers. I tried to use an off-brand, but it just wouldn't work. So I started over again. 

Once I was done, I cut out more cardstock as a base for the card and used black mica paper from the Paper Temptress shop to use for the layer under the image. These mica/metallic papers are gorgeous! Pictures don't do them justice. 

All I had to do next was to add the image and put some embellished "pearls" on as my dots. Finished!

I hope you will join us for this challenge. Thank you for stopping by!

Many Blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #248

 Hello everyone! Would you believe that it's already time for another monthly challenge? It's over at Crafty Gals Corner and the the theme is: 

~ Halloween Colours~

Colour of Love
Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Last Minute Manda

Prize ~ 3 Sets of Digis

* * * * * * * * * *

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

Take a look at what I created:

My card is called Little Black-eyed Susan Flower Cup from Colour of Love. Now, before I go on, I know I didn't color the flowers' center in black, nor her eyes black, but I wanted to "do it my way", as Frank Sinatra said. (for those of you who know who he is, lol!)

I used a design paper background, and then printed my digital onto cardstock. It actually took me 3 times to get what I wanted. I just wasn't happy with the other two. When I finally got her the way I wanted, I placed her on the design paper. I really didn't do a lot, but the background paper really set it off!

I hope you will join us for this month's challenge! It's always so hard to pick just 3 images, when they all are so special! But, you never know...you might be one of the 3! Good luck!

Blessings, Jeanie Ellis, Scrapbookingmamaw

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #247 - Signs of Fall

Hello, fellow crafters! Are you ready for Fall?? Well, we here at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges sure are! 

So for this month's theme, we are celebrating  

~ Signs of Fall ~

Our sole sponsor for this challenge is  

Beccy's Place

Prize ~  $10 Gift Certificate

I'm ready for cooler weather....but not freezing! I'm not ready for really cold weather. Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons (temperature wise), but my favorite holidays are Christmas and Easter. 

For this challenge, I chose some pumpkins to color...I love coloring pumpkins! This beautiful image is called Pumpkins and Sunflowers. To me, these are definite signs of Fall. Here is what I did:

I decided I'd try coloring this on some Kraft paper, just to see how it looked. And I do love the look of the Kraft paper! I used coloring pencils on this card. And then I used a stamp "sprinkles" with black ink. Lastly, I added the sentiment, Hello Fall. And then I layered the image onto cardstock, and I was done! Simple, yet hopefully effective! 

Come on over and join us for this challenge! Loads of fun! You just might be the winner of this challenge! But we see all of you as winners anyway! Just have fun crafting!

See you there!
