The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog #280 Theme Use your favorites

 Gosh time flies when you blink.  It keeps getting faster as I get older.  This is the last post for Crafter's Cafe until the new year.  Let's go out with a really fun challenge.  'Use your favorites'.  This could be tools, colors, material just something that is your favorite to use while crafting.  The sky's the limit~ First let's see who our sponsors are...

Sheepski Designs

Prize~3 Images

Scribbles Designs

Prize~$10 Voucher for Images Only

Now this is the way to ring out the year.  Great (and generous) sponsors.  Please go show some love everyone.

On to my creation.  I am using a image from Sheepski Designs called Emma's Hat.

My favorite thing to use is my favorite colors.  Green, Purple and Pink.  So here is what I came up with.

The first step was foiling this image with Purple.
Then I colored using PrismaColor Pencils.  Pretty
limited pallet.  Brown, Purple and Cream.  Next I
die cut some nesting shapes out of mirrored
card stock. Put this all together on Green card
with 4 mystic Purple gems.  I also used lavender
gems on the hat band. 

The inside has rounded corner rectangles.  Both
of these glitter sheets I got at the Dollar Store
and they are self-adhesive.

The back with my label.

That's it!  2021 is complete.  Next year 2022, The Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog will be monthly.  So the next challenge will start on January 15, 2022.  Thank you all for the wonderful comments.  So until next year...

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are truly blessed!

Such a duo of fabulous sponsors. Thank you so much for all you do for the various challenges on the world wide web. It is greatly appreciated!

For my project this challenge, I have used an image from Fred She Said titled Winter Emma & The Chickadee. Here is the completed project.

Isn't she adorable. Pretty as a picture. I knew

with Christmas being so busy, a pre-colored 

image would be perfect for this challenge. 

Green cardstock, sparkle card stock cut with 

a stitched die &a variegated green card 

with brads of holly and a single berry. 

I printed and die cut Emma twice.

Once very close and the next with a stitched

 die. I have layered Emma and the Chickadee

 to add dimension to the card.

Here you can see the dimension.

I used my favorite Merry Christmas stamp and
have embossed it with Crafters Companion 
Gold embossing powder.

And finally the back with my sticker!

I just want to say how much I appreciate all my followers!  Thank you for another year of looking at my projects and putting up with my off center humor.

Merry Christmas my friend and a very Happy New Year!!!

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

 

The Crafters Cafe Challenge #279

 Hello everyone and let me be the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season!  Before I can decorate, I am finally getting my carpets cleaned.  It's been about 4 years and I can just imagine what color the water will be.  UGH!  But that is on December 9th.  First let's get this challenge started.  Here are the sponsors.

All Dressed Up Digital Stamps

Prize~2 Digital images

My Besties Shop
Prize~3 Digital Images

What wonderful sponsors to kick off the holiday card making season.  They are both wonderful designers and have the nicest images.  Thank you for your generosity! Please go show each of them some love!

Now on to my creation.  I have created a birthday card for a very dear friend.  Her name is Ricki.  We have been friends since 7th grade.  Let's just say it's more than 40 years.  When we were just graduated, Toni Basil recorded a song entitled 'Oh ricky you're so fine'.  I thought it would be appropriate for her birthday.  (She will get back at me somehow)  So here is my creation using My Besties Digital Image called Phoenix Urban.

Here she is!  I've always loved pink and gray 
together.  I colored her using Prismacolor and
Arteza colored pencils.  The background is from
scraps I keep in my filing cabinet.  The tag is
another bit in my embellishments folders (who 
knows where I get all the supplies).

Here is a close up.

I used Pebbles chalk for her cheeks and I printed
her on a file folder.

The inside.  Birthday die is from KSCrafts.

I sure do hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season.  I also hope that Santa brings me a new computer.  I am then going to throw BLOGGER so far away it will never be found.  

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know that you are blessed!
