think that this will be a really fun game.  







On to my project.  I have the Waddles & Chubbs DigiDoodles winter buddies.  I saw this digi and I knew immediately I had to have it for a special someone for a Christmas card.  Now, I am notorious for making cards and then not sending them.  I will send out cards this year.  It may be 2020 but I will send them out.

So here is my creative inspiration for our 6th anniversary blog hop!

Isn't this image adorable.  A certain someone is going to love this.  I colored
the image using Prismacolor pencils.  I then wanted a Aurora Borealis for the
background.  I searched on BING for free aurora borealis image.  Then I print
it out at 5 x 7, cropped where I wanted it and put it on the card.

Here is another background I printed out and cropped. Stuck it on some backing paper and then on the card itself.  The inside is embossed with WOW SILVER.  The saying is 'Best wishes for a magical Christmas'.  I didn't put anything on the back (I need to make some new logo stickers).

That is it for me.  I wish everyone a joyous Christmas (YULE) and a very happy New Year 2020.

Remember to search for my specIal letter to get entered into the prize drawings.  

Your next stop is Jeanie!  If you get lost go to the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge. (or look at the top of my page).

Bright Blessings, 

Autumn Colors #201 Crafty Gals Corner Challenge

Hello my crafties.  I have a new project for the  new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  The theme for this month is AUTUMN COLORS.  I have a very large project to share in a few minutes.  But first, lets see who our amazing sponsor(s) are.

Bugaboo Stamps

PRIZE~$12 Gift Certificate

Colour Of Love

PRIZE~3 Digital Images

Digital Delights

PRIZE~$5 Gift Certificate

LeAnns World 101

PRIZE~2 Digital Images

4 fantastic and amazing sponsor(s).  They each have fabulous designs.  Spread some love crafties!

This card was a troubled child.  The coloring with my Prismacolor pencils went very well.  But the image is so big that I had to make an 8" x 8" card.  I usually work with 6"x6".  So this is where the challenging part came in.  I am sorry but I only have pic of the completed project.  In all honesty, I just wanted this done and gone.  (It's going to the girls for Thanksgiving)  So let me show you what I came up with.

Here is the finished card.  I colored the image from Colour Of Love called Autumn Timekeeper with my Prismacolor Pencils. (email me if you want the list of colors used  The solid color is from American crafts. The DSP is G45 from the Steampunk Spells series. The metal ribbon threaders are some I picked up ages ago.  Brads American crafts.  Teeny tiny beads that are buggers to thread I got at a tag sale many moons ago.

The inside background is DSP G45 Steampunk Spells.  Solid color American Crafts.The Corners are dies from Crafters Companion.  These are De'Sire Classiques called Flourishing Vines.  I added a jewel to the center of each corner.

Here you can see the jewel.

Can you see them?  The little tiny beads that I decided to thread onto some
really pretty yarns?  They are tiny aren't they.

Here is a better closer look.  I love the way it looks on the card.  Next time
I will use either embroidery floss or larger beads. 

Here is a close up of the metal (very sharp edges) threaders.  Also you can see the
DSP from G45.  It has clocks!

And again here is the finished card.  I am going to hand carry it to the girls
Thanksgiving day.  I'm bringing the spinach dip!

Well that's it for this months challenge.  Now next month, Crafty Gals Corner Challenge will be celebrating their anniversary.  Look for something exciting and fun.  There may be a prize from me personally.  Until then,  bright blessings.

Team Trace Challenge Christmas

Hello and welcome to another challenge for Southern Girls Challenges.  Here in the USA we are preparing for Halloween.  It's a big, big holiday for young and old.  But, lets go ahead and start the Christmas themed challenges.  This challenge is sponsored by  Krafters Cart and Oddball Art Company.

I have used an image from Oddball Art Co. by Lizzy Love called Kawaii Christmas Fox.  Such a fun image to use for Christmas.  So here is what I came up with.

The original image only had 3 ornaments on the left hand side.  So using my MTC software I duplicated them across the entire image.  The yellow card base and the blue backing square are American Crafts.  The holy sprigs are scraps.  I used my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to color Mr. Fox.  I made a mask and then used pastel chalks to make the background.

The inside of the card has more holly sprigs made from scraps.  The background paper is American Crafts.  I embossed the saying with gold WOW powder and the stamp is made by Embossing Arts Co. circa 1995  #479-J Magical Christmas (company is now out of business).  I find a lot of stamps at thrift stores.  I just love a treasure hunt.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I will see you in a couple weeks for a new challenge.

Happy Halloween!!
