Just Simple Pleasures

Squigglefly is having Challenge #81 this week. It is Green, Silver and Flowers. It you have not been over to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog to see all the wonderful projects that the Design Team members put together you are really missing some thing. We have NEW images that were released on Saturday and if you would like to see them just click here, we have some wonderful hearts sets that would be perfect for Valentines day.

These are the copic I used to color my images. My images is called “Simple Pleasures Birdbath” and the Artist is Marla Shega. I think she did a beautiful job in creating the birdbath. The paper I used was from K and Company. I did go over the birdbath with some Shimmerz Hi Ho Silver. The backing paper of the birdbath is shinny silver and I add some glitter dots on the side. Those are Prima Flowers one is green and the other one is silver. I also added a green ribbon.

Here is the close up of my coloring. The butterflies almost look red but I did use an orange. I wanted then to be a Monarch Butterfly. They are so beautiful.

I hope you have a great day. As it is Wednesday and the week is half over for some of you.

Thanks for stopping. I hope you enjoyed my card.

Fairy Gilli

I made this card for my niece for her birthday. I think I’m going to have to mail it in a box because I think it is to big to fit in an envelope. I made it as an Easel card.

I made the flowers with lace and sewed them together. In the background I used Martha Steward punch to created the leaves and branches. I used buttons for the center of each flower.

I frames in the stamped area with the same lace I made the flowers with. Added some pearls. Sponged the edge with coral brilliance ink. The stamp is from http://www:stampingscraping.com.com/  She is one of Gilli Stamps, her name is Fairy Gilli. There is a large selections of different styles of Gilli stamps.

Of Course this is a close up of the stamped image. I used some Stickles glitter glue to make her sparkle a little. I hope you like her.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day, I hope you are not all snowed in. We just got a few inches. Stay warm and cozy.

Hugs, Patricia

Color Challenge at For Fun Challenge

This week at For Fun Challenges we have a color challenge it is Olive, purple and Black. I really had a lot of fun doing my card and I hope you will also. My background I sponged with Brilliance ink Olive and Violet. The stamp set I used for the background is from The Angel Company it is called “Branches in Bloom” and I stamped that with the Brilliance inks. I also used some dabbers to created some circles in different sizes. I used Nellies Floral Punches to create the flowers, it sure make it easy to make flowers and I put some rime stones in a soft lavender color in the middle. For the edges and the corners I used Blue Hills studio Lace Multi Shaper Punch. Added some silk purple butterflies and in the middle put some lavender pearls in each butterfly. Add some Stickles to give some sparkle star dust and lime green. After I did all of that I thought what am I missing BLACK so I added ribbon and a bow and some metal dots to bring in my black. So have fun and we will looking to see you card.

Thanks for stopping and have a warm and cozy day.

Poor Teddy, He’s my Best Friend

Squigglefly’s first challenge for 2011. The theme is “Put your Heart into it” so you need to use an image that has a heart or you can add your own hearts. We had some NEW images released on Saturday so if you would like to see them you can click here and see the New ones and all the other ones as well. My images is called Love’s Healing Hands by Cheryl Alger. Now if you join tagged your cards SFC#80. Up load you card at Squigglefly Blog.

These are the copics I used use to color my image. I started to to it this way because I have several project going at one time so this way I can keep track of what colors I use. I personally do not know if it matter to you to know what colors I use, let me know if you really do not care or if you like to know? I have been to a lot of other blogs and I have seen that they are not putting the colors that they use on there images and when I see something that is colored really nice and I wonder what colors they used I would like to know, so I would like to know if you also would like to know???

Here is a close up of the image I colored. I not real happy with her hair, but I love the way Teddy turned out. Sometimes I get the hair just fine and sometimes I have a problem.

Here I have the top and the bottom of the card. The sentiment is a stamp from Stampabilities. I have soo much ribbon and I trying to use some of it up so you are going to see a lot of ribbon on my cards. The beaded hearts I have had for a long time so I do not know where I got them from but I thought they worked well with the card. The orange hearts are the sticky ones you get like stickers. There is now reason for the layout of the card, I wanted to use the scrapbooking paper because I liked it and I have so much and I need to use more papers on my cards.

Thanks for stopping by. I hoped you like my card. Have a wonderful week.

A Request From One Of Our Chaplains in Afghanistan.

 

Posted: 09 Jan 2011 08:07 AM PST

Please ask as many as possible to continue to pray for us.  It has

been a mild winter thus far, and so the fighting has continued.  Please

keep us lifted up before the Lord as we finish out these last 4 months.

April 2011 is getting closer.

I am including two pictures.  One is of a mountain near here that

finally has snow on it, and the other is of our flag in the sunset.

Both of these were taken with the last view of 2010.

Thank you again for everything,

Corey

It gets very cold in Afghanistan this time of year you can see in the mountains. I know I would not want to be in those mountains. So our man and woman are in need of our prayers so please remember to keep them in our thoughts and prayers every day.

Hugs, Patricia

Jumpin Jelly Beans

We had our K-Town Stamper Club meeting this passed week and I wanted to share with you some of the things we did. Carol designed this card for all of up to make. She did a great job. The jelly bean cards she was able to get at the Jelly Belly out let store we have in town. We are some what blessed we have a Jelly Belly Factory in town so we can get all kinds of Jell Belly things that you might be able to us on a card. What a fun card to make.

We also did some magnets. Teri created these magnets sets that we all got to pick from and them put them together. She had punched out so many different designs, so we had all kinds to choose. I made the gift and of course I got on for Emma my cup cake girl but I have not put hers together yet. This coming week end is Aiden’s birthday and he will be 9 years old so I thought I would give him the gift one as something a little extra.

After that I put together some cards we could make for the Soldiers. So that is how we finished our evening out. It is always a nice time getting together with the girls. We work so wonderful as a group. So we made more plans for the year and if I can I will share then with you as the month go by. These are the cards I put together for the soldiers. I hope you enjoy them, very simple and NO GLITTER.

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful week end and will have a great week.

Hugs, Patricia ♥

Come and meet Miss Molly the the Snow Lady

Introducing Miss Molly the Snow Lady. I finally got her done for Emma my grand daughter. I have been so busy but you know we all keep saying that and I know it is true but I’m tired of saying it. If you would like her pattern it is FREE just like the ones of the snowman I did several day ago and once you get to this web site you are going to be amazed at what is there and it is all FREE. If you like Whimsical you will spend some time there. The blog is called Phee Mcaddell, I see she has added some more things since the last time I was there so I will have stop by again. I love here puppets they are outstandingly beautiful…

All I had to do was have some brads, I used medium size pink ones and small black and small white ones. I used one eyelet so we can hang her. I added several different kinds of snow. I did color Molly with my copic markers.

I do hope you enjoy Miss Molly. Thank you for stopping by have a wonderful week.
