Warm Winter Wishes

Hi again!  This is my second post today so if you are looking for my Guest Designer card for the Little Miss Muffet Challenge, please click here or scroll down one post.  I'm back to share the card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do when I can.  It is for MayzyArt Challenge #007 (fluffy), Oozak Challenge #6 (sparkle), September Sketch For You To Try on Jen Del Muro's blog and Through The Craftroom Door #34 (anything goes).

Here is the September SFYTT:

Here is my card for all the challenges:

I used SU Blue Bayou for my card base and mats and layered with patterned papers from the Bo Bunny Snowfall 6x6 pad.  My adorable image is Adeline With Penguins from MayzyArt.  You can find it in Mayzy's Etsy shop here.  I printed her on Neenah Solar White and colored her with my Copics.  For the "fluffy" and "sparkle", I added glitter to all the fur trim on her outfit and and a bunch of fluffy glitter snowflakes.  The only embellishment was a few more sparkly snowflakes with gems in their centers.

Here is a close-up of Adeline:

Thanks for stopping by again today!  Have a great day and hope to see you again soon!

Little Miss Muffet Challenge #43 - Guest Designer

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  As you can well imagine, given the hour, I'm letting Mr. Blogger post this for me while I am still sleeping!  I have some super exciting news to share today!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the Little Miss Muffet Challenges in September!  I am thrilled and honored to have been asked and I am really looking forward to sharing my creations along with the amazingly-talented LMM DT this month!  Today starts a brand new challenge.  The theme is "writing".  We are to use a book page or text background paper for our creation.

Here is my card for the challenge:

I used SU Sage Shadow for my card base and mats.  My text background is patterned paper from the Echo Park Victorian Garden 6x6 pad.  I used other papers from the same pad for my sketch panels.  My sweet image is Butterfly Kisses from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  You can find her in the Little Misses section of the store.  She is printed on Neenah Solar White and colored with my Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles to her flip flops, shirt and the butterfly.  I cut her out and had her "sit" on a Spellbinders Lacey Circles frame.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet Challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the design team!  I know you will be wowed by what they have to share!  We hope you will be inspired to join in on the "writing" challenge.  You have just under two weeks from now to enter your project.

I am also entering my card in the Sketch Saturday Challenge #223.

Have a great day and see you soon!

Hello!  Happy Monday and happy Labor Day if you are in the US or Canada and you're celebrating the holiday!  It's really early, but if all goes well, Mr. Blogger is posting this for me long before I actually wake up!  I am very excited to say that I was selected to be one of the Guest Designers for September for the Seems A Little Sketchy Challenge blog!  I am so honored to be able to post along with their awesome DT!  The current challenge is being sponsored by My Heart Pieces and Unique Crafters Challenge.  I was generously provided with a digi from My Heart Pieces to use for my creation.

Here is the SALS #21 sketch:

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of GKD Turquoise Sea and layered with patterned papers from the Echo Park So Happy Together and Amy Tangerine Sketchbook 6x6 pads.  I machine-stitched around all the sketch panels.  The adorable image is Bathing Fairy from My Heart Pieces.  I printed her on X-Press It and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bunch of Stickles and some Polar White Flower Soft to the bubbles.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Choose To Be set in Paulette's store here.  Some shimmery lace and a flower from my stash finished my card.

Color Me Creative Classroom Challenge #51 - Guest Designer

Good morning! Happy Saturday!  Hope your long weekend is off to a great start! Even though it's early, mine is! I have some fun news to share to start the day!  I was invited to be a Guest Designer for the CMC Copic Challenge on Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom site!  I'm excited to have my project for the new challenge posted alongside the fantastic creations from the super-talented design team!

The new challenge theme is use lots of the colors yellow, with the option of also using Kraft or brown and white.  The challenge is being sponsored by Pattie's Creations. Pattie has lots of gorgeous digital images in her Etsy shop here. I was generously provided with one to use for my project. 

Here is one of the inspiration photos:

Here is my card:

I chose Pattie's beautiful digi called Thinking of You.  I used SU So Saffron for my card base and mats and layered with patterned papers from the Prima Sun Kiss 6x6 pad.  I thought it went so nicely with the image.  I printed the image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with my Copics.  The sentiment came with the image. It's hard to see, but I added a bit of shimmer to the butterfly and the sunflower center with a Chocolate Spica pen.  I used my Copic airbrush for the clouds in the background.  I didn't add any other embellishments so nothing would detract from the main image.

Thanks for stopping by! Sending out a huge thanks to Suzanne and the design team for giving me the opportunity to join in as Guest Designer.  Be sure to visit the Copic Challenge Group on the Color Me Creative Classroom site and check out the awesome projects from the DT!  You'll surely want to play along in this challenge with your own Yellow creation!

Have a great day and a great weekend and I will see you soon!
