Crafty Gals Challenge #211 Fall Colors

 Hello and welcome to my blog.  For challenge #211 the theme is Fall Colors.  Pretty straight forward.  Wellllllllllllllllllllllll...

I got my themes mixed up.  I thought the theme was stripes and polka dots.  So my creation doesn't fit the fall colors but it's still pretty.  We have one sponsor for this challenge.

Digi Doodle Studios

Prize~3 Digi Stamps

Can I tell you how much I look forward to coloring an image from Digi Doodle Studios?  I LOVE these images.  Please please go leave a little love.  Here is the link Digi Doodle Studios.

Now on to my project.  I colored up a wonderful image that can be used all year round.  Chef Cinnamon is her name.  Cooking is her game!  Let me show you what I came up with.

I love the way she turned out.  I found this back-
ground paper in a book I picked up when my
Tuesday Morning was going out of business.  The
paper pad is made by Jen Hadfield and is called
'My Bright Life'.  The Mmmmm sticker is foam.
The border was made by cutting a striped paper
against the stripe.  The polka dots are on the 
beautiful dress.  I colored her with a mix of Prisma-
color and Arteza pencils.

More foam stickers in the corners and the back 
ground paper is a scrap.

Back of my card.

Short and sweet post today.  May I ask a favor?  My beautiful state of Oregon has massive wildfires burning throughout the state.  Please pray for our firefighters and for much needed rain.

My crafty's stay safe and please stay healthy.  Bright blessings,

Summer Time Fun Challenge #210 Crafty Gals Corner Challenge

 Gosh where has the time gone.  It's flying by so fast.  I did the first chores of my Autumn/Fall (shhhhhhh Halloween) cleaning.  I love this time of year.  The weather is even cooperating.  Lows in the 50's and highs in the 70's.  I'll take it!  Now on to this months challenge.  The theme is 'Summer Time Fun'.  Here are the absolutely fabulous sponsor(s).

Stampers Delights

Prize~3 Digital Images

Twinkle Lane Designs

Prize~2 Digital Images &

2 Coordinating Digital Paper Sets

I am always amazed with the digital images and super prizes that our sponsor(s) provide for our monthly challenge.  My dear crafties, please go and leave some love for them.  They and I would greatly appreciate it.

Now on to my creation.  In my neighborhood, my neighbor across the street has planted a victory garden.  It is in what was the parking strip.  There is the biggest sunflowers I think I have ever seen.  So my image is from Twinkle Lane Designs.  I have used Sunflower Bouquet & Honey Bees Digital Papers.  So here is my Summer Time Fun creation.

I colored the image using my Arteza pencils.  Using 
my extremely sharp needle nose scissors I fussy cut
the Sunflower Bouquet out.  Next I printed out one
of the Honey Bees Digital Paper Sets.  With this on
the card, I attached the bouquet with pop dots and
added some ribbon and stickers.

On the inside, I used the same background paper
as the front of the card.  I have had this pink ribbon
for ages.  It fit the bill perfectly.  I added more 
stickers from the Garden Party sheet.

Here is the back.  I wanted to show you the new
label.  I really like the grand staff and the colors.

Here is a close-up of the sticker.

As always if you would like a listing of materials and pencils used just ask.  Thank you so much for visiting.  Next month I have a cutie to share with you.  

Take care and stay safe my friends.  Bright Blessings,

for Challenge #209 Fantasy World

All 3 of our sponsors are amazing.  Everyone please show them some love either on their Facebook page or their links above.  Love all that our sponsors do for Crafty Gals Corner Challenges.

On to my project.  My image is called Fantasy Fae Digi Stamp 16.  I must say that my eyes had a really hard time coloring this.  BUT-I found a work-around.  I use a program called Sure Cuts A Lot 5 for my big Silver Bullet Cutter.  I colored this image at full size.  Then using the program, I reduced the image in size and printed it out.  I fussy cut it out and here are the results. (might want to click on the pics to see them better)

Here she is all colored with a mix of Prismacolors
and Arteza pencils.  So glad I used purple for a 
skin tone.  

Here is where I had a problem.  Can you see how
much the color changed when photocopied?  Any
ideas on how to prevent this are greatly appreciated.

Base is Purple Gemstones by Core'dinations.  Back-
ground paper is Blue Celebration by Colorbok.  Die 
used is Spellbinders Nest-a-bilities #S5-159.  I 
wrote down the colors used.  If you would like a
copy just email me.

The verse is from an image I found after doing a
Bing search for get well soon cards.

Of course I decorated the back also.  Oh I used 
Pebbles Chalk for the edges.

I am so happy to have you visit.  What do you think of the new look?  Leave me a comment.  Until next time,

Brightest Blessings,
