Challenge #2 at Open-Minded Crafting Fun

Hello there.  Before we get to this weeks challenge, I just want to thank all of you, on behalf of the whole team at OMCF, for making our first challenge such a success.  We had about 100 entries.  That's amazing for the first challenge.  There were so many wonderful creations entered that it was really hard to pick a winner.  I hope to see more entries this week. :)

Today's challenge is "Warmth: Food or Clothing". We have four sponsors this week:

Digi Darla

I chose to use a DS4J image to create my card.  It's called "Misteri and Her BFF"

I love Jen's images.  She is an amazing artist.  Make sure to hop on over to the Open-Minded Crafting Fun blog and see what my DT sisters have created using images from all four of our sponsors.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day and God bless y'all.

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop

Well, we are three-fourths of the way through our hop.  It's been fun so far, but now I have a stack of off the wall Christmas cards with no one to send them too. My family and most of my friends would not appreciate my dark sense of humor that I have found being part of the Smeared and Smudged group.  I didn't even know I had a dark side.  I'm liking my dark side, but my light side is still shining brightly.

Today's card uses another  image from Jade Draggone.  This is a Halloween image, but coloring her dress and hat with Christmas colors makes it very versatile.

I tried to find a font that looked like it had bites out of because of her pet rat, but this is the closest I could get.  I used my BIC Markers for color in this image and added some touches of Sakura Glitter pens, too.  The papers are from MME and I used a Dark Red card stock from Recollections for the card base.  The flowers are made from small circles of satin held over a candle flame to melt and curl them.  I added a gem-encrusted star for the centers.  

I hope y'all liked my offering for today.  Now go on over to Black Dragon's blog and she what her wonderfully creative mind has come up with for today.  Have a great day and God bless.

Wedding Card

Hi guys.  I am sharing another card that I made for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge two weeks ago.  I tried to add it to my album on SCS but it said that the pic was too big and wouldn't let me add it.  I can't take another picture because the card is already on it's way to Alan and Ellen.  So, I am going to link my blog with a post on SCS Teapot Tuesday so you guys can see it from there.  Oh well, such is life...:)

I used Stampin' Up Crumb Cake for my base.  It's a typical size A2 card.  I then used a piece of chocolate brown cardstock for a mat.  The patterned paper is from the Lost and Found Collection from My Mind's Eye.  I love the Eiffel Tower and the French wording.  I rounded the two right hand corners on the brown cardstock and the patterned paper.  I used a set of silver edged stickers from Recollections for the sentiment and the little hearts.  I tied a piece of satin ribbon around the middle and tied a knot.  On the bottom I added three pink pearls.  Congratulations Alan and Ellen.  May God richly bless your marriage.
