This is one of my images and can be found here. The papers are from my stash. I cut out a circle, added acetate, and mounted it on foam board to create my window. I tried using glitter but that didn't work so I used tiny glass beads inside my window. They worked perfectly! I then added paper that I created in Photoshop and two fish with bubbles. I used my scallop circle from Spellbinders for trim around my window. A few splashes of water gels, a paper flower, some coral branches and my creation was complete.

Simons Says Challenge ... Theme is "Paper Piecing"
S2G Papercrafting Challenge ... Theme is "Back To School".

I decided to make my own template again and this time I made a template for a Backpack. I have to come up with a tutorial soon and I will be posting it here and on my CDAC group. I chose a denim paper that I just purchased and a deep red cardstock. My image is from Michelle Perkett called Mary Margaret. Isn't she cute! I used a white correction pen to create my stitches on the denim paper and a black pen for the stitches on my closure tabs. I colored mary Margaret using Adobe Photoshop and added some school embellishments like my ABC's, pencil, apple and a sentiment. I layered or pieced her apple and bow to give it that raised effect. My backpack opens and has a velcro dot to keep it closed. I haven't finished the inside but I will wait until I need a card for someone special. I think I will send it to my youngest granddaughter who is 4 1/2 years old and is in preschool.

Scraplings & Paint Chips...

2010-08-07T11:42:00.000-05:00

Here is the set of Scraplings...

Individual Scraplings ...

Hello everyone... I have a new creation and this one is a first for me. I went to Gingersnap Creations and there is a challenge to make a set of cards using Paint Chips and Scraplings. Well, I had no idea what a scrapling or paint chips were so I googled them and found out that a scrapling is a tiny card that can be used as a gift tag or whateva. The paint chips are the cute little color swatches that you find in a paint store. Wow, what an interesting tecnique! Since the colors are monochromatic my creation qualified for the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge. Here are all the challenges that this creation is entered in:
Gingersnap Creations ... Theme is "Paint Chips & Scraplings"
Cute Card Thursday Challenge ... Theme is "Whateva"
Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge ... "Anything Goes Theme"
Tuesday Throwdown Challenge ... "Momchromatic Theme "
Sentimental Sunday's Challenge ... Theme is "New Technique or Style"

I used white cardstock as my base, paint chips that I made in Adobe Photoshop (since I didn't have any paint chips at the moment), a stamp by Susan Branch, prima flowers, brads and a leaf punch. So what do you think?

Van Gogh "Sunflower"

2010-08-05T19:29:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone... I have a new creation today and this one is for the following challenges:
Gingersnap Creations Challenge ... "Famous Painters or Paintings" theme.
Flutter By Wednesday Challenge ... Must use a butterfly, fairy or angel somewhere.
Color Throwdown Challenge ... Color Combo.
Diecut Dreams Challenge ... Theme is "Gingham".
Dutch Dare Challenge ... Theme is "Anything Goes".

I really had fun with this challenge because I used one of my favorite artists, Vincent Van Gogh. I chose papers from my stash and a copy of one of Van Gogh's famous paintings called "Sunflowers No. 2". Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist Painter. He used vivd colors as shown here in one of his famous paintings and my favorite. I found a stamp from the Netherlands with Van Gogh's painted portrait so I added his name to the side of the stamp using Adobe Photoshop. I added a butterfly, a quote from Van Gogh, some fiber accent and pearls to complete my creation. I consider this creation, A Tribute to Vincent Van Gogh.

Aloha

Pakelekia (aka Pattie)

Please take a look at all the entries and please leave comments.

Below are my creations. Michelle gave us this adorable image called Leilani to use for this Blog Hop. I decided to make name place tags for a Hawaiian Luau and I made one for me (Pakelekia) and one for Michelle (Mikela). I hope you like them...

I used half coconut shells to stand my images on. I colored the images with Adobe Fireworks CS4 and added some glitter after cutting them out. Michelle gave all the DT members their very own image with their names in Hawaiian. I made one for Michelle too. Some flowers, sea shells and pearls were added on the cocnut shells to give it that tropical look.

Here is Mikela's Name Place Holder

Here is Pakelekia's Name Place Holder

Now it is time to go to the next Blog Hop and that is Lee...

Here is a complete list of all the Blog Hops. Please take time to view them and leave comments.

I colored the fairy image using Adobe Fireworks CS4. I cut her out and added glitter to her wings. I followed a tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers for the luminaria. I used my Martha Stewart lace border punch for the top and cut out my windows with one of my Nestabilities dies and my Cuttlebug machine.

I just love coloring with this software! It takes some skill but if you keep practicing you can get some wonderful shading. I used one of my Nestabilities dies to cut out the image. I added a polka dot brown ribbon, a hat pin that I embellished with beads, some gems and my sentiment. I did not mis-spell the sentiment but instead of using Beary I used Berry because I thought it went well with Die Cut Dreams theme. What do you think?

Alice In Wonderland

2010-06-15T00:01:00.002-05:00

Hello everyone... Today I have a new creation and this one is for the following challenges:

Michelle Perkett Studio Challenge ... The DT theme is "A Stitch In Time".
Aly's Sunday Challenge ... Theme is "Add Sewing".

I decided to make a box and I used a cardboard book box that I bought from Hobby Lobby. I painted the outside and inside with acrylic paints and added some pearl paint for a different affect. My image is from Michelle Perkett called Alice and the White Rabbit. I used other images from Lewis Carroll's book called "Alice In Wonderland". The watch, Cheshire Cat and keyhole images were found on the Internet. I colored all of my images with Adobe Fireworks and Copic markers. I chose papers from my stash and added hand stitching to the front cover edges. I used gold vellum paper and one of my Fiskars lace border punches. On the back of the book I added a sentiment from the book along with a pocket watch and the Cheshire Cat. Inside the book box I made some stationary using MS Word. The lines look like plain stitches and I added ribbon with stitches and a key charm. What do you think?
