The Paper Nest Dolls

Prize: $20 gift Certificate

Lacy Sunshine

Prize: 3 Digital Images

Here's a bit about our sponsor: 

"Heather Valentin  is  creative ,  award winning,  modern-day  fantasy and  whimsical  artist who has displayed a dynamic and vibrant energy while painting professionally for over 18 years.

She  began to express herself creatively through movement at a very young age. 

For many years she studied dance, being drawn to forms that allowed creative self expression, all the while feeling this constant urge to create with her hands. The canvas is now her dance floor where color, beauty and drama are expressed through her every pencil sketch and  brush stroke. Her  subjects vary from fairies, fantasy, mermaids, vampires, dragons, wildlife, abstract and more. She is one who is inspired in a single moment. Her  dreams, moods and the the unfolding beauty of the world around her is what charts her dance for the day. She is most alive when sketching and painting, creating timeless pieces that reflect her heart and soul. Drawing breathes life into her soul- it enables her to reach out and touch lives. This gives her a place in the world one character and painting at a time.

Heather's  artist portfolio  has  expanded to include such  clients  as   Pepsi, Outback Steakhouse, Nabisco, Zephryhils  and can now be found  at Laguna Art, Third Stone Art Gallery and Sausalito Art Galleries, along with commercial and private collections across the globe. "

Now onto my project. I used the Hummingbird digital. As my health has not been too well lately, I thought I'd keep it as simple as possible this time around....until I'm up to par again.  

You can't tell it in the picture, but I do have a lot of glitter up there. I simply decorated it after the colors with lace, pearl trim, rose trim, lots of Reneabouquets glass glitter, and glossy accents. I also had a 2nd project for today....STAMPlorations "It's Your Day". 

I made it into a card that you can hook onto a gift bag. And of course, I had to use Stickles to give it some shine! :-)

Thanks for stopping by! Please be sure to join in on our challenges currently going on now!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge

Hello, everyone! It's time for another challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner! This week the challenge is SPARKLE & SHINE!

Our sponsors this week are:

Lemon Shortbread

Prize: 3 Digital Images

My Besties Shop / Etsy Bestie Store

Prize: 3 digital images below

I chose to use the Elegant Bride from Lemon Shortbread this week. Here she is:

I took some cardstock and cut a rounded card base. Then I adhered a paper doily on top of that, and in the middle of the doily, I cut out another circle and placed it into the center of the doily. I colored the image with my Prismacolors and used stickles to give it the Sparkle and Shine in the veil, bow, and overlay of her dress. I made a small chiffon ribbon, a paper rose, and adhered them to the side. With the rose I added some chiffon to each side. You can't really see it well, but I also put some netting behind the bride's head and let it drape down some. I had some rose ribbon with pearl centers so I placed them on either side of the bride. I had used distressed ink on the edges of the paper too.

I hope you come join us this week!

I've entered this in Lemon Shortbread  - Anything Goes

Outlawz Color Challenge

It's that time again! Outlawz Color Challenge for this week! And this week's inspiration is brought to you by Aly, DT! Here is the inspiration:

This month we are sponsored by Pickled Potpourri! If you're the winner (you're all winners in our eyes!), you will receive a $15 voucher to spend in the store! Woo-hoo! Good times!

For my inspiration, I used pink and crimson lake. My twist: Making the image into a printed cardstock sheet! Here is my project:

Dancing Chic

As you can see, I used the Dancing Chic for my project. I thought she needed to be on a tag, so I went to work on getting the chipboard cut out. I colored my image and saved her to my computer, and then I thought how fun it would be to make a "printed paper" with her image all over, with the words "Happy Dance" next to her. I used the Kraft paper Paper Temptress and mounted her onto that. I also made the 2 brown roses up there from the Kraft paper. I then mounted her and the kraft paper onto the printed cardstock. I made a pink rose and put it with the Kraft roses. The final touch was putting lace at the bottom with a very small rose trim and using the trim as it's "handle", too.

I hope you come play with us! We'd love to have you!

Loving Girl - SCS

Hello, crafty peeps! Today I want to share with you my DT card I did for The Scrapoholics Candy Shop. I wanted to make a card my granddaughter could give to her Dad, so I chose the "Loving Girl" digital. She is adorable! Espcially with her little hands forming the heart shape.  Here's my card:

Believe it or not, the tie shape of the card wasn't that hard. But I did have to use my ruler to make sure the sides and all were even. I first printed the digital onto some white cardstock, then folded it in half. Then I cut out a tie shape around her and colored her in. After I cut the initial shape of the card (the white), I placed it on top of some blue cardstock I had in my stash and cut around that (about 1/4"). I did some "stitching" around the card and added the sentiment on the card. And she was done!

I hope you enjoy her and that you'll come visit us on our Facebook page and our blog!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #76!

We have a new challenge here at Crafty Gals Corner! 

This week the challenge is SUMMER FUN!

Our sponsors this week are:

Sassy Studio Designs

Prize: 4 Digital Images

The East Wind

Prize: 3 Digital Images
The artist behind The East Wind digital images is known as Unky LaStrange. Unky makes her home in British Columbia, Canada with her wonderful daughter, Aurora, the love of her life and source of much inspiration. She has been creating art since she was a child always allowing it to reflect her interests, humour, and love of all that is quirky. Her unique images run the gamut from the darkly humourous and sometimes creepy through the world of fashion-forward Lucy Loo to the sweet Aurora and Baby Aurora where life and people are good and beautiful. There are images to suit every taste, occasion, or whim at The East Wind (https://www.etsy.com/shop/theeastwind/)

For my project this week, I chose to use the Day at the Park image from Sassy Designs Studios. She is adorable! Instead of making a card, I decided to make a tag with her instead. Here she is:

I wanted to make a mixed media tag, so after I colored her with my Prismacolors, I measured her height and width, and cut out a white piece of paper a little bigger than her. I used my Prima water soluble pastels in the background. Once that was dry, I wanted to add a texture to that paper, so I used my Liquitex Glass Beads all over it. I didn't have to do it all over, but I was experimenting....what can I say? ;-)  I placed my image on top of that before it dried so it would adhere onto the paper. Once it was dried, it almost felt leathery. It was pretty awesome!

I made all the roses up there, along with the buds out of paper I had in my stash. The bicycle was orange, but I used my Stampendous Shabby White embossing enamel on it to change the color. I got that at the Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique (Facebook page). I cut out a pink piece of paper to place it onto the chipboard I was using as the foundation of the tag (the same pink as the roses). I adhered it to the chipboard, then adhered the image piece on top of that. I hot glued lace from the Lighthouse stop n' shop Facebook page, added some rhinestone swirls (hard to see because of the glass beads), leaves to the flowers, pearl drop beads, and pink trim on top of the pearls and as a handle. I was gifted the pink trim. 

She took me a while to do, since I was making all the flowers myself, but she was well worth it. She's a lot prettier in person! 

I hope you come join us this week at Crafty Gals Corner!
