Wheely Birthday

Welcome to my blog.  It's nice to see y'all.  Hope all is going well. 

Today's card uses an image from Just Some Lines:

One of my design team sisters made this watermark for me, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to make it transparent.  I guess one of these days I will figure it out.  

Isn't she a cute little girl?  I really like her hair.  I wish it was warm enough to go bike riding here.  I can't wait for spring.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Just Some Lines Challenge

Today's card is for the Just Some Lines challenge: 3 or more embellishments.  I used this beautiful JSL image and colored her with Crayola colored pencils and OMS.

The image had her eyes closed, but I altered it just a bit and added so me eyes using acrylic paint.  The papers are from DCWV and the sentiment is from my stash.  When I first started stamping and scrapping, I would pull everything out of it's package and store it by theme.  Yeah, I've learned not to do that.  Now, I keep everything in it's package or if I use another form of storage I make sure to label each stamp set and paper pad.  My three or more embellishments are the rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope y'all have a wonderfully blessed day!

Penguin Birthday

Hello there my friends.  I'm sorry for the span between posts.  I have been struggling with severe depression and just haven't felt like posting.  I have medication, but I think I have become immune and my doctor isn't in the office this week.  But, I'm here tonight to post some of things I have been working on.

This birthday card showcases an image from Just Some Lines.

I colored this little guy with BIC markers and used my Martha Stewart circle cutter to die cut him.  I attached him to a large lacy circle from my stash.  The card base is DCWV Red as is the mat for the sentiment.  I used a double sided DP from ATD for the back ground.  Adding some colorful gems from Queen and company finished this card off.

Thanks so much for stopping in.  God bless y'all.

Fairy Tail

Hello again.  I'm back with another card.  This one uses a freebie from Just Some Lines.  Jenn was sweet enough to give us this adorable image to work with this week.  If you would like to get this image and play along, click on the link below under Challenges and it will take you to Jenn's blog.

I have been on a pink and green kick for the last few days.  There are so many ways to combine these two colors that they have to be one of my favorites.

I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and colored it in using my Spectrum Noir pens.  I did add some Sakura Glitter pen to the fairy's wings.

I started with a 5" square card base using Old Olive (SU) card stock.  I then trimmed down one of the DPs from Cardmaking Magazine.  I used the reverse side to add the pink polka dotted strip.  I cut a panel of mottled green from DCWV and laid is wonky.  The hot pink card stock fishtail banner is also a little wonky.  I cut out the image and used pop dots to adhere it to the card.  The sentiment is from Nina Brackett's Heartily Yours Addition set and I stamped it in Versa Magic Purple.  I used my EK Success label punch and inked the edges with the Purple.  I added two pink pearls for some bling and that finished off the card.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping in today.  God bless y'all.

Birthday Tag

Welcome to project #2.  This one isn't a card, but a tag.  It's a little bit different, but I had a ball making it.  I used 6 different Distressed Inks to make the tag.

I used my BIC markers to fill in this image.  What a great stack of birthday presents.  To begin with, I used a tag from Staples.  I broke out my non stick craft mat and laid down the DI on it.  I spritzed it a mix of water and Perfect Pearls from Ranger.  It gave the tag a great shimmer even though it didn't show up on the picture.  I tapped the tag into the ink mixture and used my heat tool to dry the card.  I trimmed the image down to 2 inches and matted it on Turquoise card stock from Recollections.  I trimmed a piece of DCWV DP and matted that on Orange card stock from Recollections.  I added the orange panel wonky and put the image on top at a different angle.  All of the fibers are from my stash and adding a few gems from Queen and CO. finished off the tag.

I hope you like this project.  Thanks for stopping by.  God bless.

Love You

Welcome back friends.  I have another card to show y'all this morning.  The challenge for this card is Love and it's the first time I have joined in on this challenge.

The image is from Just Some Lines.  There actually is a tea pot service in the bottom right hand corner of the image, but I just wanted to show the love between a girl and her doll so I added this fabric flower from my stash in the corner.  The brad center is from The Paper Studio.  Hobby Lobby had all The Paper Studio products on sale for 40% off this weekend, so I stocked up.

I used my colored pencils on this image, which I printed on Neenah card stock.  I started out with a 5.5"x5.5" card base in Dark Blue from Recollections.  I matted the image on the same Dark Blue. I cut a square piece of Yellow card stock from Recollections then cut it in half diagonally.  I did the same thing with  the DP from Heidi Grace's One Fine Day.  I adhered them to the card base using one of each.  I used two strips of the Dark Blue card stock and added two strips of the striped DP from Heidi Grace and placed them behind the image.  I added a sentiment from Gina K to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping back in today.  I have two more cards for y'all this morning, so stay tuned.  God bless y'all.
