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

 

This is a quick reminder that you have until Tuesday evening for this week's Wicked Wednesday Wing-It challenge, which I know you're going to want to join. Why? Because our sponsor this week is Stampotique Originals and they are offering one random winner a $30 g/c to their on-line store. They have some of the most original images...you really must give them a look-see.

 

For myreminder ATC I used these adorable little piggies from coloring-pages.me, which were printed on Kraft paper and colored with Copics. The clouds and sentiment are from TGF Up, Up and Away set. Instead of coloring the piggies pink, I used dark pink and purple for their shadow for a twist.

Don't forget, you have until 7:00 pm Tuesday, feel free to link up HERE...we can't wait to see your mini creations!!!

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. You have until midnight EST each day to comment. The lucky winner will be announced on Monday!

Journal #2

SCRS Preview of Chinese New Year Rin.

 

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

 

I think I warned all of you that I'm going to be keeping myself busy making journals for Christmas gifts this year, here is journal #2 that was made for my niece Michelina. Michele is a freshman at college this year who is creative, athletic, and down to earth....she is such a warm and inviting person,  she is the girl everyone wants as a friend.

 

 

TGF DTT challenge is It's a Rainbow,  which I had to join because there's something magical about prisms of color. Yes, those are violet highlights in Anya's hair!

Anyone For Anya has a Button challenge.

 

I'm going to show off a little bit and show you the charm I made that was inspired by these two challenges...I am soooooo happy with the way that it turned out. It started with wanting to make a charm out of buttons, but it needed some bulk....so I added beads. I'm not going to add this to Michele's journal because it makes it too busy looking with the patterned paper, instead I'm going to save it for another project down the road.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave such sweet comments, they really are appreciated.

Wicked Wednesday #61 Wing-it

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

Please scroll down for this week's Flutter By Wednesday OPEN challenge.

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

 

This week Wicked Wednesday is  being sponsored by Stampotique Originals. Stampotique is  offering a $30 g/c to their store to one lucky random winner, which is more than generous...wouldn't you say?!! 

I used both, Medium Bee with Tiny Bee image and World All Her Own sentiment from Stampotique for this ATC. I colored the entire cardbase with watercolor pencils and then misted it. I stamped the smaller bees in green, the background dots in brown, and the sentiment in black. I then fussy-cut and pop-dotted the larger bee.

It goes without saying...we would LOVE for you to join us this week at Wicked Wednesday with your ATC entry, feel free to link up HERE.

Lastly, we were lucky to have the Stampotique DT join us in this challenge. Please take the time to check out the FABULOUS creations these girls have designed....I'm still picking my jaw off of the floor after seeing all of their wonderful artwork.

Enjoy what comes your way!

FBW #217 Open

At Flutter By Wednesday we know that December is usually busy and with keeping that in mind, we are leaving all of our weekly challenges OPEN this month...which means you can enter any project as long as you have a butterfly and/or fairy on it.

Our Sponsor this week is Di's Digi Downloads, and in the spirit of giving they are offering a $10 gift voucher to their on-line store....can you say Ho Ho Ho!!!

For this week's challenge I used the fabulous Juniper and Cecilia image from Michelle Perkett and paired it with Theresa Collins Fabrications DP. Mesh bling, a gorgeous flower, and some stamped leaves complete this card. Also, you might recognize this Deconstructed Sketch #69 from September...you can find all of Jen's sketches in her archive files HERE.

 

 

I know schedules are getting tighter and crafting time might be harder to find during these hectic days, but if you can squeeze in a few minutes of card making....we'd love to have you join us this week at Flutter By Wednesday. Feel free to link up HERE.

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!

Wicked Wednesday #60 Frame-it Reminder

 

After I printed Frida's Flower Headband (#339) by Dilly Beans on Kraft I decided to darken the framing a tad bit with my Sharpie. After coloring a few spots with a white gel penl, I then colored over some of the white with my Sakura Glaze Pens for a little pop of color. Lastly, I'm still lovin' mesh bling and am wondering why I haven't bought it in more colors yet.

 

Now don't forget, Stitchy Bear is our sponsor this week and they're offering a $10 certificate to their store to one lucky random winner! You have until 7:00 pm Tuesday evening to join us in this fun challenge at Wicked Wednesday....feel free to link up HERE. If you're looking for a little inspiration, don't forget to check out my fellow teamies ATC's...they always have something fun up their sleeves.
