Crafty Catz DT Call


Hi everyone. I just finished an entry to The Craft Catz Challenge and I am also applying to their DT Call. I hope I win! My image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and my papers are from a new stash from Hobby Lobby. I colored this cute image with my copic markers and added a little glitter to her feather boa. I added some pink ruffle lace to two corners and a few silk flowers with flower gem centers. My sentiment is the theme for this weeks challenge. What do you think?

Pattie Boop Previews




Ok, I have been working on my own Digital Images and I just want to hear from my followers and future followers about my creation. Her name is Pattie Boop and I am planning on putting her up for adoption. By this I mean I would like to sell my images of her. She is my copyright and I would love to see her on some of your creations. What do you think of her?

Thank You For Being a Friend



I have another creation to add to a couple of challenges. The first challenge is Friday Sketchers who provided the sketch. The next challenge is La La Land Crafts Challenge and their theme is thankful. I used papers from a couple of my stashes and my image is from La La Land Crafts called Rosie with bird. I colored my image with copic markers and used my Nestabilities die to cut her out with. I added some braided ribbon to the corners and a few gems. I also added a couple of prima flowers, a sentiment and a double heart charm. A touch of glitter gave just a little sparkle.

Santa Ornament




Good morning everyone. I have another creation that I did last night. This one is for The Pink Elephant Challenge and Diecut Dreams Challenge. The sketch is from the Pink Elephant and the theme Santa is from Diecut Dreams. I used my Fiskars lace circle punch for my base and some decorative paper. I found this image on the Internet of a vintage Santa and colored it with copics. I used some of my music paper and some gold tassel fringe. A few sparkles and a bow completed my creation.

Penguin Skate


Well, I have another creation to add to a few challenges. Sketch Saturday provided the sketch. There's Magic in the Air provided this cute digital image by Nina. Creatalicious Challenge has a theme of snowflakes and sparkle. The Cupcake Craft Challenge wants us to use a digital image and Crafty Creations Challenge wants us to use metal or metallic finishes. I used a silver metallic paper for my card base and added other papers from my stash. I colored my image in Adobe Fireworks CS4. I am starting to like the look I get using this software. I found a hologram paper that I cut out with one of my Nestabilities dies and I used a white glitter paper that I cut out using my Nestabilities scallop lace border die. I added some paper snowflakes, a sentiment, some glitter glue and a snowflake charm to complete my card.

St Nicholas


Close up of St Nick Image

Well I have another creation and this one is for The Winter Wonderland Challenge. I had a lot of fun doing this card. I didn't have an image of St Nicholas so I decided to be creative. I took a photo of a Santa from the Internet and by using Adobe Photoshop CS4 I transformed it in to a stamp like image. I am very pleased with the way it came out. What do you think? I chose papers from one of my Christmas stacks. I didn't use a sentiment because one of the papers I chose had Merry Christmas on it. I added some gold and iridescent glitter for sparkle and some holly and berries along with a Christmas ornament that I had from The Paper Studio's La Petites collection.

Front View of Box

Here is another entry for today. This one is for Stampin For The Weekend Challenge and I decided to make it a blog candy giveaway. There are a few photos because I wanted to show all views of my creation. I first started with a small box that I had. I added some decorative paper on all sides and top of the box. I found this pretty braided ribbon that went with my papers. My image was found on the Internet and it was free to use. I colored my image with copic markers and cut it out with one of my Nestabilities dies. I used gold fabric paint around my image and added some glitter for sparkle. I used a decorative button on the front of the lid and added four gems to the corners of the lid. After I was done with my creation I decided to fill it with tissue paper and some goodies. I didn't have any real candy so I thought this was even better. If you would like to win this candy just join my site as a follower, leave me a comment, put my Birthday Blog Candy on your site ( just right click on the image and save it to your PC. Then add it to your gadgets) and I will pull a name out of a hat on my birthday November 16th. If you are already a follower just leave me a comment and you are entered. Here is what you will get.

Noel Tilda


Good morning everyone. I have a creation to add to my blog and this one is for The Just Magnolia Challenge. My image is Tilda with a bell and I colored her with my copics. I used gold card stock as my backing and Vintage Christmas papers from Hobby Lobby. I distressed the edges of the paper and added some gold glitter to the edges. I added some burgundy satin ribbon and gold tassel along with some Prima flowers. On my sentiment I used gold 3D paint. Some glitter and rhinestones completed my card.

Summer


Hello everyone. Today I have a creation that I entered in to Michelle Perkette's Studio Group Challenge. I used her image of Summer and I colored it using Adobe Fireworks CS4.

Happy Holidays La La


Hello again everyone. I have a creation that I finished last night and this one is for a few different challenges. Truly Scrumptious Challenge provided the sketch, Crafty Creations Challenge theme is snow, Cute Card Thursday Challenge theme is glitter me silly and La La Land Craft Challenge theme is to use punches. My papers are from various stacks and my image is from La La Land Crafts. I colored my image with copics and added some glitter for sparkle. I distressed two edges of the paper and added glitter to them. I used a punch to cut out my sentiment and my Cuttlebug snow embossing folder on some of the papers. I also used 3D paint along the edges of my 3 papers. A few snowflakes and gems completed my creation.
