WW 100th Celebration Sat. Reminder

We are in the midst of celebrating Wicked Wednesday's 100th challenge!

 

 

As easy as this ATC looks, it has been my most frustrating to create. I knew I was going to use New Year Emily by Sparkle Creations, but I needed to figure out how to have the sentiment stand out without making a banner. After a few attempts, I decided to mask the sentiment and stamp the image over it, and hoped glitter would mute the image even more. Well...I ran the ATC through the Xyron the wrong way...an easy fix. Ran it through the Xyron again...took the sticky layer off and dropped the ATC on a paper towel. FUZZIES over the entire ATC! I pulled out my markers, stamps, and glitter and started over again...not once, but twice.

All you have to do is create an ATC with the theme of 100/Birthday/Anniversary and link it to Wicked Wednesday by 7:00 pm EST next Tuesday evening to be eligible to win one of  the fabulous prizes from one of our 8 sponsors this week. Yes, you read that right...8 sponsors! Which means 8 chances to win!  You can see all of the fabulous DT creations using Rick St. Dennis images and link your ATC HERE.

Happy 100th Wicked Wednesday!

Happy Saturday!

WW #72 Any Holiday or Birthday Reminder

What a fun challenge this week at Wicked Wednesday, I just know you can think of a Holiday or Birthday you'd like to celebrate and share with us!

 

The background on this ATC was made by first using TH Fired Brick and Frayed Burlap DI's,  and Picket Fence Distress Stain was added over the top.. The background was stamped in Fired Brick. The adorable Kiyoko image  was fussy cut and added, then outlined with a fluorescent yellow Copic marker. The sparklers got a little extra attention from a gold Atyou Spica marker and rhinestones. And as I love to do...a little glitter was added on a couple of the corners.

Image is from Sister Stamps: Kiyoko
Sentiment is from Sparkle Creations: Chinese New Year Rin
Background stamp: All Night Media Chinese Calligraphy

You have until 7:00 pm EST this coming Tuesday to join in this fun challenge, feel free to link your project HERE.  Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps who is offering a prize of a $10 gift certificate to their online store, which has a wide array of fun and interesting images.

Thanks for stopping by, happy Saturday!

WW #64 Skulls & Skeletons Reminder

Nothing says HAPPY NEW YEAR like confetti and my personal fave...French Martini's!

This happy guy was a freebie I found at hellokids.com,  the confetti and martini are stickers, and the sentiment is from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.

You have until 7:00 pm EST this coming Tuesday evening to join us at Wicked Wednesday for our Skulls and Skeletons challenge...feel free to link up HERE.

Thanks for stopping by, however you ring in the new year....I hope your celebrations are safe and happy!

SCRS Sale and Ice Skating Chloe

 

Being the December Guest DT at Sparkle Creations  has flown by, and it's been lot's of fun coloring these fabulous images...THANKS to Sparkle and the DT for being so warm and welcoming! Don't forget that you still have a few more days to save 20% on these fun and fabulous images...you can check them out HERE.

 

I thought I'd color up one more of these adorable SCRS images....I used the Ice Skating Chloe set, which includes both the image and this wonderful sentiment. CUTE!!!!

 

 

 

Once the image was colored, I started looking for a sketch when a paper copy of this sketch fell off the shelf above me (hmmm, should I organize the shelf?!)....not only is it a great sketch, but the colors matched my image perfectly! I pretty much cased everything from this fab Kim Yu sketch.

Sparkle Creations - December Preview Day 2

Welcome to Day Two of  SCRS December previews, today we're showcasing the adorable Happy New Year Emily...isn't this girl one of the happiest and sweetest images you've seen in a while?!!  I used to love dressing up and going out for New Year's Eve...now we stay home, watch movies, have scallops and a martini or two....still lots of fun, but in a different sort of we've-been-married-25-years-kind-of-way! LOL!

 

I'm posting a picture of the inside of  this card because I wanted to show the fabulous sentiment that comes with Happy New Year Emily...I think it's perfect for New Year, birthday, and anniversary cards.

Be sure to visit all of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Happy New Year Emily. Sparkle will be giving away Happy New Year Emily to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer's blogs (list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Happy New Year Emily post.

SCRSC94 Snow Challenge

I felt like Christmas had come a little early when I was asked to be the December Guest Designer for Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps this month...not only do they have some of the cutest images, but I get to hang out with a very talented DT for a couple of weeks. If you haven't yet, check out their  fun challenge BLOG to see some of the talent and cute images I'm talking about.

Today starts their brand new SNOW Challenge that will run  for the next two weeks. I used the adorable SCRS Snow Bunny Lucy image...she is just too cute with her furry hat and hand muff. Are you someone that wishes pictures would show off glitter better too?!! I know I am! All of the fur has been glitterfied with Ritz Superfine Glitter in Nuance Chaude...which has a gorgeous gold undertone that adds an extra shiny touch to every project.

 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day and hope to see you joining us for this fun and SNOWy challenge!
