Baby Snow

WOW!!!! This has been a busy month and I’m sure it has been busy for also. Only 11 days until Christmas and 19 days until 2013 and I do not know where this year has gone.  I do have to tell you I’m looking forward to take a couple week off and not be posting any cards, maybe I can get all my comments caught up, it has been hard to keep up with stopping by all my blogging friends. Now for this week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday the challenge is anything goes with the twist of adding a snowflake to your card or project. We would love to have you join us so stop on by and check out the awesome cards the design team has created.

Delightful Thursday at Digital Delight there are some wonderful cards the design team has created and if you would like to stop by and check out all the awesome cards. The images I used are called Baby Snow, Mistletoe digital paper pack and Magical Winter Sentiments. 

Spellbinders romantic rectangles. Pearl pen red and green.  Distress ink festive berries. Stickles glitter glue xmas red and green.

The trees are buttons. Snowflakes are from EK Success.

I would like to ask if you like seeing all the pictures I take of my cards or it really does not matter to you? I do not mind taking the pictures but I know when I go to someone blog and they take several pictures, I do like seeing the different sides, insides, if it will lay flat. If it is 3D or whatever. But if it does not matter then I will not keep doing it. Just would like your thought on this?????

Holly punch from punch bunch. Tiny snowman in lower left corner was in my stash.

Copic markers use to color my image.

Here is the close up of the image.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope your week is going good for you. Have a wonderful Thursday.

Special Lady

 

 

 

Hello everyone and welcome to a special blog hop for a very special lady.... Suzanne Dean.

Today the Design Team from Suzanne's site, Color Me Creative, are hopping along to give our friend and "fearless leader" a HUGE HUG and Thanks!!!

If you've ever met Suzanne, you know 1) what a HUGE heart she has and 2) how fun, witty and TALENTED she is!!  Suzanne's site has tons of information and inspiration and WE get to help spread the word about her awesome classes by way of her bi-weekly challenges sponsored by some fabulous crafty companies!  This month Suzanne is having a month full of challenges where you can win some wonderful prizes and have some fun along the way, but we wanted to take time to thank Suzanne for all her hard work and dedication for not only us but for all the members on her site and those who are lucky enough to have attended her classes where she shares her talent and coloring tips with us all. 

Suzanne is not only a pleasure to work for, but a wonderful friend. I have had a chance to spend some time with Suzanne the last couple years. If you are one of her followers of her blog she has some interesting stories from her travels and all these crazy things do happen to her. Suzanne is a big love for zebras!! That's right... today some of the girls are sharing their "zeebie" (as she calls them) designs dedicated to a wonderful lady who we simply say, "Thanks", I was unable to come up with any “zeebie” so I did this cute image from Sylvia Zet called Winter Wonder.  We hope you enjoy the hop and remember, the Holiday Bash at CMC is under way and you don't want to miss our on all the fun excitement and awesome prizes so be sure to stop in and enjoy the holiday spirit with us all.  You can find all the information you need HERE.

I made this special card for Suzanne this year and the name of the card is Magic Card. I took all kinds of pictures so you can see how it is made, it is not a hard  card to make, it just looks like it is. My base paper is white sparkle paper and all the other paper is from Die cuts with a view Winter Wonderland Pack. Sponged around the edges with brilliance ink color Mediterranean blue. On the edges used Martha Steward aspen snowflake border punch.

Spellbinder used is called floral ovals. Ribbon is sheer iridescence light blue. Added Fluff. Some corner stickers.

Stickles glitter glue colors silver, waterfall and star dust.  Diamond glaze from Judi Kins. Used Aleene’s true snow,

Memory Box die cuts winter land tree and frosty swirl.

The small white with blue gems snowflakes and the silver with silver gems snowflakes are from EK Success.

This view is if you lay the card down flat.

This is when the card is laying flat.

These are the copic markers used to color the image.

There is a challenge going on this week at Delightful Challenges and it is all about CHRISTMAS, we would love to have you join us.

Christmas ribbon from Michael's. The flower on the stocking I made with a 8 petal punch and holly punch.

Punched out some small circles from sparkle foam and added to the top. A small square to put under the sentiment.

The inside of the card. Martha Steward snowflake border punch and a mitten punch from punch bunch. I leave the area open for a stamped message or a hand written message.

Here are the copic markers used to color my image.

Close up of the image. I had some problem with my E21 when I was doing the face. I was not happy about that, so after I cleaned my marker tip out real good soaked in in alcohol for about half hour and dried it out real good them refilled the marker and now it is working just fine.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day. I hope you are having a awesome holiday season.

Christmas

Good evening everyone. Wanted to get this posted right away and hope it will go out in the morning but it is late and I’m getting pretty tired. So made this card for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and the twist for this is all about CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. The imaage I use for the challenge is from Paper little stamps and the image is called Cammy/gift. The sentiment is from Digital Delight and it is called A touch of Christmas.

The paper I used is from the scraps. I added a dolly.Used some gems that are in the shape of gift, the flower gem I added to cover a mistake. When I was coloring I thought the part by her neck was green and it was her neck so I added a floer to cover her mistake. 

I did sure some Spica pens colors Lipstick, olive and mint. The snowflakes are from EK success. The holly punch is from Punch a Bunch.

On the inside I punch a holly punch

I added some layers and then punched out a holly punch. Then left it open to add a sentiment or a person an write a message .]

So that is all for tonight. Thanks so much for stopping by tonight. Have a wonderful week end.
