Beary Merry Christmas

Happy Friday everyone.  I sure hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July.  It was sure hot here today.  I am not ready for the summer heat.  I need to find a place where the temp is about 60-65 all year round.  That would suit me just fine.

It's been quite a while since I have posted with Queen Kat Design.  We have some new images in the Kat Shop and would love to have you come check them out.  The stamp I am using today is a digi by Sandra Caldwell.  I have used a few of her images before and I love them.

This cute little bear is a single image and I copied it to make a hanging Christmas swag.  I colored it with Colored Pencils and OMS.  After trimming down the image, I inked it with DI Vintage Photo.  The swag line was hand drawn with a Sakura Glitter Pen and the hooks were outlined with Sakura. I used Recollections and SU card stock and Recollections Bright and Jolly DP.  The sentiment is an old set from Inkadinkadoo that I had in my stash.  I stamped the "merry...merry" continuously onto a piece of white card stock and trimmed it down to fit the card.  The main sentiment is matted onto Grass Green SU card stock and adhered with pop dots.  I added three little "flowers" from K & Co. to finish off the card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to say hi and see what I have created.  God bless y'all.

Digi Darla #68 At the Beach

Good morning friends.  It's Monday and that means another challenge at Digi Darla's.  This week our theme is At the Beach.  I chose "Virginia Lighthouse" as my focal image for this card.

I used Spectrum Noir pens and chalk to color in the image after printing it off on Neenah card stock.  I matted both the focal image and the sentiment (Dee's Bugaboo Boutique) onto Black Recollections card stock.  All the corners have been rounded.  I used another ancient paper from DCWV as the background. The strip across the bottom is actual sandpaper.  I learned the hard way not to cut sandpaper with your paper trimmer...:(  I had to immediately replace the blade.  I added three punched squares to the right hand side for a pop of color.  The card base is 6" square and is Tan by Colorbok.

I hope that you will give Digi Darla's challenge a try this week.  Thanks for stopping in and God bless.

Melonheadz Challenge--Beach

Good Monday morning friends.  I hope you enjoyed your weekend.  It was beautiful here.  We attended a wedding on Saturday and it was beautiful.

Our challenge at Melonheadz Friends is Beach--water, sand, fish etc.  The DT has made some beautiful inspirational cards for y'all.  Here's what I came up with:

I decided to an underwater scene.  I used the Mermaid Bundle to design this card.  I began by printing out all the images on Neenah card stock and coloring them with Spectrum Noir and BIC markers.  I fussy cut all the parts.  I made a 6" card base from Colorbok card stock.  The DPs are very old.  LOL.  1996 HOTP papers.  I found them in my stash and thought they would work perfectly.  I used Sakura Glitter Gel pens to add some sparkle to the bubbles.  Then I just added the elements in a way I liked.

I hope y'all enjoyed the eye candy for today and will play along with us at Melonheadz Friends for this fun challenge.  Thanks and God bless.

Digi Darla Challenge #67

Good Monday Morning.  Are we ready for a new week?  There are lots of possibilities ahead.   Like maybe joining me and the DT over at Digi Darla's Challenges for this weeks challenge.  We are on #67 and the challenge is to use a doily on your card or project.  

This challenge was a bit difficult for me and sent me way out of usual little crafting box.  You wouldn't think something so simple would make me cringe, but I do not like doilies.  They do have their place, but this little redneck girl just doesn't like them.  But, I pressed through and this is what I came up with:

OK..it doesn't look too bad..:)  I began with a piece of SU Gray card stock to make the 5" base.  I found this glittered vellum by EK Success in my stash and thought it would make a good background for a wedding card.  I then added the doily and the pink scalloped ribbon.  I die cut the image with my nestabilities and inked it with Memento London Fog.  After attaching the image, I added the sentiment matted on a piece of Recollections Pink card stock.  Adding some large pink pearls from Queen and Co. finished off this sweet little wedding card.  Oh yeah, I colored the image with my BIC Markers.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.  I hope to see y'all over at Digi Darla's.  God bless and have a great day!

Beccy's Place New Stamp Set

Hello again.  Thanks for stopping in.  I have a card for y'all that showcases Beccy's Place new set called Star House.  This set is very versatile and be used to create everything from July 4th cards to Christmas cards.  You can find the set HERE.

After printing off the image on Crafter's Companion card stock, I colored in the images using Chromatix and BIC Markers.  I fussy cut around the stars and added some faux stitching.  I inked the edges of the main image with DI Vintage Photo and matted it on a Red (Recollections) panel and offset it on the card.  The DP is an old one from DCWV.  I used pop dots to add the stars randomly on the card.  The card base is Recollecions Red.

You can see all of the DT's examples by visiting Beccy's Place Blog.  Thanks for stopping by and God bless y'all.

Digi Darla Challenge: Fancy Folds

Howdy!  Welcome back.  I hope y'all had a great Monday.  Today I am posting my DT entry for Digi Darla's challenge for this week.  The challenge is Fancy Folds but not a square.

I apologize for the picture being a little dark, but I couldn't get a good light on it.  I made a tri-shutter card for this challenge.  The image is Digi Darla's Hayley's Hat. The sentiment is also Digi Darla.  I colored her with BIC Markers and outlined her with Spectrum Noir.  The DP's are American Crafts and the flowers, gems, butterfly, bird and leaves all came from my stash.  The card base is made from Stampin' Up Very Vanilla and the Green CS is Colorbok.

Thanks for stopping in.  I'm sorry for the shortness of this post, but I'm pretty hopped up on pain killers because of my surgery this morning.  I appreciate y'all taking the time to visit.  Have a great night and God bless.

Digi Darla's Monday Challenge

Welcome to the new challenge for Digi Darla.  This week's challenge is: Take Me Out to the Ballgame--use Banners or Pennants.

I used the Baseball Diamond digi stamp to create my card.

To make this card, I began by printing off the image on Neenah Card stock.  I colored the image with my colored pencils.  I inked the edges with burgundy ink and matted it on a panel of Burgundy card stock from Recollections.  I then matted it on a larger panel of White card stock so that it wouldn't blend in with the background paper which is from Create with TLC.  

To create the banners, I cut out a banner template on some of the baseball backing paper and "strung"them onto some cream colored twine.  I used an old, old set of letter stickers from Stickopotamus.  I have had those in my stash probably since I started scrapbooking almost 9 years ago.

I matted the entire thing onto a 5" square Red card base from Recollections.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Make sure to stop over on Digi Darla and join in the challenge for this week.  We would love to see y'all.

Have a wonderfully blessed Monday.

Bike Thanks

Good Morning Friends.  Happy Monday..yeah I know.  It's Monday.  But, look at it this way.  You now have a fresh start to have a great week.

Today I am showcasing a new stamp set from Beccy Muir.  It's her Bicycle Set.  Isn't it great?  

To purchase this set, please click HERE.

To begin, I printed off the image on Neenah card stock and colored it with BIC markers.  I trimmed it down and matted it on a panel of Black card stock from Recollections.  The card base is a 5.5" square made from GP White Card Stock.  I used my scoring board and scored the front of the card to make a frame.    I then cut two small fishtail banners and added them to the bottom left of the card.  I then added the focal image.  I stamped the greeting from Fiskars with Versa Fine black in.  A green gem from Queen and Co. finished it off.

I hope y'all will check out Beccy's Place for some beautiful images as well as a monthly challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by this morning.  Have a blessed Monday.
