Crafty Gals Corner #172 Add Ribbon/Bow or both!

In the Willamette Valley of Oregon we have been experiencing smoke from all the wildfires.  This leaves a sickly yellow haze in the air and unhealthy air quality.  So I have been in my Pretty & Posh Paper Palace craft room catching up on my paper crafting. The Crafty Gals Corner Challenge for this fortnight is add a bow/ribbon or both.  But first let's see who our amazing sponsor(s) are for this challenge.

Paper Nest Dolls

PRIZE:  The 3 Digital Images used by the DT

Digi Stamps 4 Joy

PRIZE:  $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE

Morgans Art World

PRIZE:  3 Digital Images

My crafty friends, PLEASE leave some love for these sponsor(s).  Remember without our sponsor(s) there would not be a challenge.  Thanks everyone!

Now on too my project.  I am working with a digital image called 'Artist Ellie' from Paper Nest Dolls.

She just jumped out when I was selecting an image a month ago.  Paper Nest Dolls images are fantastic.  So here is what I have created (image heavy).

I popped up Artist Ellie with some foam dots.  The
images says "You Rock-enough said' and its a
Studio G stamp.  The easel is a file from the Gallery in
Make the Cut software.  I exported as a SVG file and cut it
using my Silver Bullet Cutter and SCAL5 software.

This is the inside.  The Pyrite stones I picked up in my travels.

The back of the card.

This card is very special.  It is for a friend that is having a rough patch.  I hope this puts a smile on her face for a little while.  As always, a list of all items used is available.  Just email.

Thank you for visiting.  Leave a comment I love reading them.  See you in 2 weeks.

Bright blessings,

Challenge #171 Tropical Colors

Hello all!  I am back for this brand spanking new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  The theme for this fortnights challenge is 'TROPICAL COLORS'.  This could be a colored image or maybe a card.  Your imagination is your guide.  Let's look at who our spectacular sponsor(s) are. 

 SheepSkiDesigns

Prize:  3 Digital Images




All Dressed Up Stamps

Prize:  2 Digital Images



Creative Bug on the Loose

Prize:  5 Digital Images

Have you ever used the wonderful companies digital images?  I happen to love and have worked with all three.  Each company is different in a oh so special way of drawing each image.  Please go check each one out.  The links are above each logo.

This week I am so happy to work with Creative Bug on the Loose.  My image is called "Beach Baby".  Isn't she adorable?  Here is what I have created.

I just love the turquoise and purple together.  I cut some sayings out of kraft and
put them on the card using .25 brads.  I colored with Prismacolors Pencils.

The inside features another cut out from a beach themed kraft paper and the sentiment
is from Stampin up.  

I just feel that any of my card just aren't complete without
something on the back.

I have a list of all the colors I have used and the papers.  If you would like to see it just email me at jtfrrst@gmail.com.  Thank you for following along.  Since not one person entered my give-away during the last challenge, I think I will try again after school starts.  

Bright blessings for a great 2 weeks!

On to my creation for this challenge.  My image is from Rick St. Dennis and is called Star Pixies Trio.  I absolutely love his designs.  So here is what I came up with.

Remember the carol Deck the Halls, look at each pixie's hat.

Here is the top inside.

I try to always decorate the back!
