Tip Top Tuesday Challenge #116 - Snowflakes

Hello and welcome to another Tip Top Tuesday Challenge . For this challenge we are using snowflakes. I am showcasing a wonderful image from Stamp Fairy. The Peeker Kid 4.

 This is a close up of the layered bow. I used glue dots to adhere the ribbon and metal snowflake to the card. The wooden snowflake had a hollow center so the glue dot is holding the wooden snowflake in place.

A close up of the pretty Peeker kids and it's embellished frame. If oyu'd like to see a tutorial on how to make a perfect bow. You can find the tutorial here and many more tutorials under my tutorial tab here.

613 Ave Create Challenge - Braid My Hair

Hello fellow bloggers, visitors, and friends! Welcome to another Sunday challenge post for  613 Avenue Create Challenge blog!

 Today I'm very lucky to showcase a card using a Digi image by our sponsor A Day For Daisy called Braid My Hair.

For this challenge, the design team was asked to "Create a Calendar". Here's my project.

 wanted to mimic the softness yet tousled look of the hair so I used the sheer ribbon coupled with the twine. Added the blue rhinestones to pick up the blue in the birds and added the roses to complement the softness in her dress.

Somewhere between taking the first and the second picture the bird sticker fell off the calendar and I can't find him anywhere! I'll probably find that bird stuck to the back of something months from now. lol

Here's the Copics I used to color the image.

Using My Tools Thursday # 26 - A fishy Congrats!

Welcome followers and guests to my Thursday post of using my tools. Every Thursday I try to pull something out of my stash that at one time I thought I just "HAD" to have and finally use it. This time it's the embossing folder and the fish stamp. I can hardly believe I've been doing a regular using my tools Thursday for almost 6 months! Boy, I didn't know how much "STUFF" I was neglecting.

I grabbed some patterned paper and some blue and tan cardstock from my stash. I really tried to use some leftover paper as well.

The congrats senitment is from the Inkadinkadoo Expression & Frames stamp set. I added some embroidery thread and hemp cord.

Here's the Copic markers I used to color the fish. I also added some glitter glue to the fish and some glossy accents to the fish's eyeball

I hope you enjoyed my posting and please comment and let me know what you like best! I love to hear your comments! Have a great thursday and friday and I'll see you back on Saturday for my Scrapbook Saturday posting. You're up! Go make something beautiful!

Card Making Monday # 24 - Cowboy Up!

Hello and welcome to another Monday posting!  

With all the business of the holiday and still wanting to get some crafting in. I thought I'd sit down to make a quickie card. I had some of these left over stickers from a set and wanted to put them to good use.  In fact, I'm so used to embellishing my cards that this one seems too simple. lol

I'm not sure what I'll use this card for or whom I give it to but I can imagine I will give it to a child or maybe my husband for a spoof. 

I used Giddy Up! Paper Pad for the pattern papers, Bazil Cardstock and OWH sketch #57. 

The sticker embellishments are made by PaperHouse. 

Enjoy the rest of your holiday season and thank you for visiting. Take care!
