Believe in Magic

I have been blessed with so many fabulous company’s in the craft industry, which have led to an even greater blessing… having some of the most wonderful supportive, talented and inspiring followers as friends. Without you all… none of this would be worth it. Our time is limited and the fact that you take a quick moment to leave me a comment means the world to me!! I’m so grateful and I mean it when I say each and every comment makes my day. Your support and encouragement continually inspire me to create and my hope is that my work in return inspires you!! 
It is time for Though The Craft Room Door challenge and the challenge is always ANYTHING GOES!                                                                              

The paper that I used is from DCWV it is stack Star dust. Used some Wink of Stella pens gold and blue. It is a little hard to see but I also used memory box die astrid circle, spellbinders scalloped oval. Some star punches in different sizes.

Around the scalloped oval and both sentiments added krylon gold leafing pen. I had the perfect ribbon called celestial offray to add it is one I got at Michaels store.  Added some stickles glitter glue in gold and midnight blue.

These are the copic marker used to color the image. This time I finished off the inside. I just loved these colors together.

My images is from DS4J store and the image name is Rosalee. Margy would love for you to stop by.

               

I hope you have had a great week end. We did get about 1/4 inch of snow, that really nothing. But this is pretty early for us to get any. So take care be cool if you are where it HOT and stay WARM if you are where it is cold.

Whispering Trees

Hello everyone it is time for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the Twist is “GIVE THANKS”. We have a sponsor for this month is Stitchy Bear and the image I’m using is called “WHISPERING TREES” and you can fine   

                                        

 

    

I printed out the image and the inks I used for the background are Marvy Matchable colors salvia blue, pale orange, sunshine, azure seas, green green. I punched out a 1 inch circle and put it where I wanted the sun to be. I used Eclipse paper for that. Love the paper it always works so good.

I used some thick paper and made a a line across the paper where I wanted to have the darkness horizon and from their I added the sunshine and a little of the peach. Once the sky was done I removed the circle and added more sunshine color.  

This card is really easy to make and I would of loved to have added something more to the inside and I think I will, but I have not been feeling very good so I have been taking it easy so the inside really has nothing special. I will chance that.

These darling tiny flower are from cherry lyn designs called tiny flower kit B376. They are so much fun to use.

Here is the close up of the scene. The butterfly is from Martha Steward. Almost forgot about that. Thanks for stopping by and I will get caught up so I will be by and see all your wonderful projects.

Peep Peep It’s your Birthday…..

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog our challenge at The OutLawz Twisted Thursday has started and for this week it is “ANYTHING”.
So I choose this darling little girl and I have no idea what artist made her so if you by any chance know who the artist is would you please let me know. She is so adorable and I do not know where to put her as she has no home (file) to put her in.

Used a spellbinder scalloped oval and my paper is from Graphic 45 secret garden. I burnished around her with brilliance sky blue and on the oval I used brilliance Victorian Violet.

For the small flowers I took a piece of the paper and folded it around them to make a wrap and tied two tiny bow using a fork. Both of the sentiments are from CrackerBox rubber stamps. I went around some of the edges with a purple pen and added some squiggles.

Here is the inside. A closer look at the flowers they are from Wild Orchid crafts and you can see the 2 tiny bows.

These are the copic markers I used to color my image

Here is the close up of the little girl.

Thanks so much for stopping, hope you have a great week end.

Our challenge at Though the Craft Room Door challenge has started and all the challenges are “ANYTHING GOES”, the sponsor is Dr. Digi House of Stamps and this image is called “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dunderton”. Most of you know my grand son Isaiah who is now 16 years old has a black belt in Ta Kwan Do so this is the perfect card I’m going to send to him. He will get a big charge out of it. I’m also using this card for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and for this week the twisted is “your favorite Technique” and one of my favorite techniques are working with a watercolor wash and doing the background on my cards. We would love to see what your favorite technique is.

Still using my scraps. The sentiment I made it up in Microsoft Word.

Out of a piece of scrape paper I made a piece that kind of looked like a board, tried to rise it up a little. Use a small piece of plastic, so you could not see it. 

More scraps and left it open so I can write a small note to Isaiah.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

Here is the close up of the image.

Thanks for stopping by, hope thing are well on your end. Took some pictures of some really pretty trees the other day. Tomorrow it is going to be real windy so I bet that will take care of a lot of stunning leaves that are still on the trees. I will try and share the tree with you. These are some beautiful ones. Have a wonderful week end.
