Seeing Stars.

Hey everyone. I hope you all made it through the Holidays with happy hearts and many fun stories to tell. I know I did.


Well it's Thursday and that means a NEW CHALLENGE over at Meljen's Designs. This week's challenge is:

STARS

For my card this week I used a fantastic image called Book Girl. Check out this fabulous image (which can be purchased along with the rest of Meljen's fabulous images) at the the Meljen's Shop. I used some great double sided paper called "tent trailer" from October Afternoon. I topped it off with some red twine and two red wooden star buttons.

Sunshine Santa

Hey everyone. I am sorry I haven't been around lately. My entire family has been battling the flu other bugs over the past couple weeks. It kinda makes it hard to craft. LOL.

Well it's Thursday and that means it is NEW RELEASE DAY over at Meljen's Designs and boy do we have a release for you. Check out these fabulous images (which can be purchased along with the rest of Meljen's fabulous images, at the the BRAND NEW Meljen's Shop).

A new release means a NEW CHALLENGE over at Meljen's Designs. This week's challenge is:

No RECTANGLE Cards

(Square, Round or Shaped Cards!)

For my card this week I chose to use Summer Time Santa. I wanted to do something bright and cheery for this fun Santa image. I used a scraps of this great double sided polka-dot paper and I love how well it works. I added some red ribbon to the top and I stamped the Ho, Ho, Ho sentiment directly to the patterned paper. What you (hopefully) can't see is that I actually dropped the stamp when I was done and smeared ink on the card. I was in a state of panic and I (luckily) found these awesome present and flower stickers that perfectly covered up the ink smears. All in all I am pretty happy with my sunny Santa.

Time for Lizzie's Birthday Party

A few weeks ago my dear friend, Lizzie asked if I would be a part of her weeklong Birthday Bash on Blogger. Well of course I was going to say YES!!! Seriously, she didn't really have to ask. I am so honored to be a part of this and celebrate her birthday.

The amazing Lizzie is letting us take over her blog for 6 whole days and tell the world how much we adore her. That's so easy to do. The best part is that this is a party with PRESENTS!!!. She is holding a giveaway and boy are her prizes AWESOME.

Now I want to share my card I made for her with all of you. Lizzie is an amazing friend and a unique individual. She has such a zeal for life and she is a true gem. I wanted to make a card to represent her as best as I could. I knew that this Wild Sprout - Ebony image by The Greeting Farm was the perfect image to use for Lizzie. I paired it was a cool sentiment freebie from PaperCrafts Magazine. I used this great double sided paper and then for embellishment I cut out some flowers and leaves and popped them up for dimension.

Now I have a special surprise. In addition to Lizzie's great giveaway, I am also giving something away. I put together a baggie with all the supplies I used to make this card. So one lucky person will get a fun card kit.

I want to thank Lizzie for letting me be a part of this and I want to wish her the MOST AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY EVER.

Check back tomorrow to see what the next party guest has to share with you.



Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful day with loved ones, and if you are not from the US then I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday.

Use Twine / String.

For my card this week I chose to work with Stocking Kitten and Stocking Puppy. I am really trying to weed through my scrap stash and I founds these two great papers to use.

Getting Sketchy

Hey everyone, how are you all this Friday. I am trying to get back into the swing of things after several weeks of everyone being sick in my home.

I have a fun new card to share today that I made using a brand new Tickled Pink image that I won from Kellie Winnell's blog last week. I am giddy with excitement over how cute she is and how fun it was to work with her.

I figured  her first use should be with the new Tickled  Pink challenge which this time is a sketch. You can find the challenge HERE.

For my card I used Tickled Winter Little Lolita Evie from the new release. I used this amazing textured and glittered paper that I had been hoarding, along with a couple papers from last years DCWV Christmas Stack. I added a Christmas colored ribbon and glitter flower with an epoxy sentiment attatched to the center.

 Challenges:
Totally Gorjuss - Christmas Traditions
Digital Tuesday - Christmas Time
Tuesday Throwdown - Lots of Circles
Fab 'n Funky - Baby its Cold Outside
Tickled Pink - Sketch

A new release means a NEW CHALLENGE over at Meljen's Designs. This week's challenge is:
THANKSGIVING or THANK YOU

For my card this week I chose to work with Thanksgiving Corn Mouse. He was just too cute. I riffled through my paper stash and found this great double sided scrap from We R Memory Keepers. I stamped the Thank You sentiment so that it and the Meljen's image would be the focus. I added some red bling and some pretty gold & red woven ribbon to embellish. One of these days I will get my camera back from Best Buy but until then I will have to continue to take pics with my Blackberry.
