Wicked Wednesday - Based on a Character Reminder

 

This is a quick reminder that you have until 7:00 pm next Tuesday evening to join in our Based on a Character challenge that's going on at Wicked Wednesday. When I was looking through my stamps for this reminder I ran across TGF Cheeky Kitty digi and instantly thought about the latest Batman release, which is a great movie...didn't Anne Hathaway look spectacular in her catsuit?!!

 

I copy, pasted, and Glossy Accented the Batman logo. The DP is SEI Spooks and Theresa Collins Fabrications. A little mesh bling, some Viva Paper Pens dots around the edges and wahlah...a character! I even added that fabulous pearl necklace that Selina/Catwoman wore so elequently.

 

I'm also entering this in the challenge at Anyone for Anya: Let's Go to the Movies.  I thought the TH filmstrip was appropriate.

 

 

 

I really should pay more attention to challenge due dates as the sketch I used was TGFSC31 on SCS and was designed by Eva, and sadly this particular challenge closed last night. This is a great sketch to work with and as you can tell, I flipped the picture to show how I worked with it.

 

And a quick look at the inside...simple, but cute.

 

 

 It's your turn to get your character "on" and join us over at Wicked Wednesday, hope to see you there!

Happy 18th Frankie!

We have another birthday celebration coming up soon...our daughter is turning 18 next week!  I wanted to make sure this was completed and ready to go before her birthday, as last year I was late in making her card and she was very upset with me and muttered something about "the shoemaker's kids." She's a total goofball about anime and manga and even has a few characters that she draws herself. I personally think she's super talented and have asked her a few times to draw images for specific projects for me...if she actually does get around to drawing them I'll let you know. I can't believe we'll be taking her on college visits this coming month.

 

I started making this banner a couple of week's ago hoping to enter it into a couple of challenges but was sidetracked by a few birthdays, along with out-of-town guests. I'm not complaining tho...it was great to see my sister again as it's been since  spring since I last saw her. I added kanji and flowers from the Pagoda cartridge, and the number 18 is from the Mickey & Friends font cartridge. The girlies are from the newest Sister Stamp release and all  DP is from the MME Penny Lane line.

This is the matching card made with a few leftovers...such as the negative from one of the flowers and an extra butterfly I didn't use on the banner.

Stamps:
Sister Stamps: Mariko (w/ present), Miyoko (w/ cupcake)
Hero Arts: Arigato
Stampin' Up: Take a Spin

Challenges:
Yumi & Fumi Handmade: #3 Anything but a Card
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door: #37 Sept 25th - Oct 1st
Use it Tuesday: Use Your Scraps, here's how:
All images were stamped on odd sized scraps and then fussy cut.
The flowers were cut with DP scraps left over from a project from 3 years ago.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving all of the sweet comments that you do, they really are a bright spot in my day.

Wicked Wednesday #51 Based on a Character

********************************************************

Please scroll down for this week's FBW #207 OPEN challenge.

********************************************************


My daugther is a huge Harry Potter fan and I thought I'd try my hand at making a HP ATC for this week's Based on a Character theme at Wicked Wednesday. As adorable as this little guy is, he's missing one thing....his glasses! I finally broke down and bought some brads that looked like glasses (thanks Donna!) and couldn't wait to use them...then I realized that I had sized the image too small for the glasses. I could have enlarged and reprinted the image but I had already colored this one. Bummer! Now I'm wondering why I didn't hand draw the glasses?!! Double bummer!

This adorable Wizard image was provided by our sponsor this week, Squiggle Stamps. Squiggle Stamps will be closing at the end of 2012, so head on over and grab some really cute images at 50% off! The sentiment is from Karber Stamps.

Everyone has a favorite character, maybe even two and we would love to have you  join us in this fun challenge...you can upload your little creations  to Wicked Wednesday HERE!

Flutter By Wednesday- #207 Open Challenge

This week's challenge at Flutter By Wednesday is OPEN, which means there is one simple rule....you can enter any card and/or project as long as they have a butterfly or fairy on them...this is a challenge blog about fluttery things after all!

I chose this gorgeous image called HERMOSA which was designed by Megan Suarez for Dilo En Espanol....you can find it HERE. All DP is from the Fabrications line by Theresa Collins and what a fabulous line of double-sided paper this is, all of my favorite colors are in one pad!! The velvet flower is from Maya Road and was Glimmer Misted in a deeper purple hue. The sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday clear birthday set. The entire white background has been glitterflied...I sure wish it showed up because all of that super-fine glitter is the "WOW" factor on this card.

I also used Kim Yu's #8 September Sketch and I should warn you that once you use one of Kim's wonderful sketches you will keep using them because you always end up with stunning results.

It's your turn to create something fun and fluttery for this week's OPEN challenge, you can upload your project HERE. I'd love to stop by your blog and see what you created, let me know if you do!

Wicked Wednesday - Circus Fun Reminder

This adorable lion is a digi freebie that I received from The Stamping Boutique a couple of months ago...gosh, I couldn't wait to bring him out to color as soon as I heard about this week's Circus Fun challenge. I added a BIG HEARTED sentiment, twine, and a heart shaped button to complete this ATC. The DP is Family Outings by Momenta, and not only is this wonderful 12x12 pad filled with FUN papers but it has a section of circus papers included in it *happy sigh*!

Just in case you're not sure, you have until 7:00 pm this coming Tuesday to enter the Circus Fun challenge at Wicked Wednesday. Hope you will join us!!!

Wicked Wednesday - Circus Fun

Please scroll down for this week's FBW sketch challenge.

**************************************************

Wicked Wednesday is all about FUN...and this week's fun is CIRCUS FUN! We were given this adorable image from The Doodle Garden to work with and I had so much FUN making this ATC! This brought back some wonderful memories of being a little girl and going to the circus with my sisters. We watched the ever-entertaining acts in awe...and dreamt of one day being one of those fabulous tight-rope walkers in their fabulous costumes! The lions roared, the clowns made us laugh, and a man really did fly out of a cannon....FUN? You betcha!


You have until next Tuesday evening to join us in this CIRCUS FUN challenge at Wicked Wednesday...you can link up HERE and while you're there, you can see some of the FUN creations my fellow DT'ers made.

Flutter By Wednesday - 206 Sketch

This is the sketch that everyone at Flutter By Wednesday is working with this week, it is by fellow teamie Kathy Curry. I used this fabulous Michele Perkett digi image called Daydream Fantasy and paired it with some gorgeous double-sided MME Dolled Up DP. Copic glitter pens were used on the grapes and leaves which are so pretty and sparkly in person.


FYI: Be prepared to see a lot more of this wonderful image as is it was one of a few that I took on vacation with me and I would sit and color during our downtime or in the evenings. I must have colored this 7 or 8 different ways. Eeeek!

We would love to have you join us at Flutter By Wednesday for this weeks challenge, all you have to do is use the above sketch and include a butterfly or fairy on your project. You can link up HERE, and while you're there you can find more inspiration from my fellow teamies!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving all the sweet comments, they are a bright spot in my day.
