Guest Design Project for Digital Two for Tuesday

I was honored when Cora at Digital Two for Tuesday asked me to guest design a project for her this month! I have not worked much with vintage images and thought it would be a fun challenge. I was correct! I love the look of this and hope you enjoy it too! Please head over to Digital Two for Tuesday and see all of Cora's beautiful images.
P.S. They're FREE

Final Guest Design Project for There's Magic in the Air

I have had so much fun creating for Nina at There's Magic in the Air this month. I find it wonderful that she offers her beautiful work free for us to create with every week! This cute image is called snowy flight and we were challenged to create anything but a card. I have a few of these nifty buckets from the Target bargain section. I used some Polar White Flower Soft for my snow and a few yummy candies in a pretty bag for a nice little gift! Please be sure you stop by There's Magic in the Air to join us this week and see everyone elses creations for this challenge.
p.s. She's also having a recipe blog hop beginning Dec 9th you wont' want to miss!

My first card in a real magazine you can buy!

I told you all a while ago I was published...well I finally located the photo of the card and just had to share it with you ! The issue is available right now and my card is a tiny little photo on the bottom left of pg. 43.

Thanksgiving Wishes

These are my Happy Thanksgiving wish to you all. I used the new digital image from Stamps and Smiles to make each of these. I hope you and your family have safe travels and spend this special holiday with those you love.

The Fresh Batch Sketch #42 (SASSC42)

This was a fun sketch! I nabbed these tiny notepads from my local scrapbook store. They had them cut at Office Depot I think. I used some Cuppy stamps from Stamps and Smiles for my ornament covers. The pretty snowflakes on the background paper are from Stamps and Smiles too, stamped with Versamark Dazzle. Please stop by Stamps and Smiles, The Fresh Batch to see everyone's inspiration samples for this sketch. We'd love for you to play along with us this week!

Mo's Digital Challenge #8 Create A Scene

This was a delight to create! I learned how to mask my images on Photoshop Elements so I can overlap them. I collect Nativity sets so these images immediately drew me to them. I made a stair step card for this so I could have different layers and heights. The little lambs are covered with white flocking so they look soft and fluffy. You can get your own Nativity images from Mo here. Please stop by Mo's Digital challenge blog and join us this week! You will also want to check out the DT's inspiration on this one!

Whimsy Christmas Card Contest

I wanted to let you all know about a fun Christmas Card contest Whimsy Stamps is having. You will need a Whimsy image to create your holiday card. You have until Dec. 12th at 11:59 ET to get your card entered. There are prizes to be had of course! If you need more details click the cute Santa on the top right of my blog to go to the Whimsy Stamps site!
Now I'll tell you about my little card! I figured since I was telling you about a Christmas Card contest I should throw in a pretty Christmas card myself (not in the contest hehe). This precious pair of kittens is one of the new images from Whimsy Stamps by Chrissy Armstrong. I am not really a cat person, but think they're oh so cute! The designer paper I used is Basic Grey. I used some cool pins and colored them to match with my Copics. Thanks for letting me share it with you!

Project Tuesday -Sticky note holder

This week we created a cute sticky note holder. The tutorial for it can be found here. I used a Magnolia image for my cover. His cuffs are fuzzy from using Tulip fabric paint. Please be sure you stop by Stamps and Smiles Project Tuesday to see everyone's inspiration samples on this! We'd love for you to play along with us!

Guest Design Project for There's Magic in the Air

Oh this moose is so cute! I had so much fun creating this. I loved the image so I made it larger than usual. I wanted to make the details really stand out! I used glaze pens and crystal effects on the Christmas lights. The glow behind some of them is from a soft yellow chalk. I used Tulip paint on Santa's hat. The moose has fuzzy antlers thanks to some dark brown flocking.
If you stop byNina's Blog, There's Magic in the Air you can get this wonderful image for FREE and play along with us this on magical Monday! Nina is so generous to give her images away to us to play with each week.

House Mouse Challenge First Project!

I want to thank all of your for your support as I worked to join the House Mouse Challenge Design Team! It meant so much to me! Now I'm excited to share my first contribution to the challenge with you!
This week the challenge is to make a double pocket card (tutorial is here). I used the "Hot Cocoa" stamp. It's colored with Copics and a little bling is added with the pearls on the cup! The paper is actually a Halloween designer paper from Stampin Up, but just a solid green. I used brown grosgrain ribbon (Michael's) for the handles and bows. These would be really cute to give those holiday gift cards in!
