Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #230 Easter/Spring

 Hey there crafty friends.  I am back with another creation for the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  The theme for this challenge is Easter and/or spring.  So get your thinking caps on and come join the fun!  Here are our sponsors for this challenge.

Polkadoodles Digital Designs

Prize~£8.50 Gift Certificate

The Paper Shelter

Prize~3 Digital Stamps

These two sponsors are simply AMAZING!!! I can't draw worth beans.  I really appreciate those who can.  So gang, go show some LOVE!

On to my creation.  I have used a image from The Paper Shelter called Spring Eleves. Such a fun image.  Here is what I came up with.

(just a quick warning...this post is picture heavy)

This past month I have decided to decorate my
my envelopes.  So here is the front...

and here is the back.  The Paper Shelter images
are so crisp and clean and can be used for print
and cut.  This is a 6x6 envelope.  These items
are tiny!

Here is the front of the card.  I did a print and cut
and had 2 layers of each element to glue down to
add some dimension.  I added a hand tied bow from
ribbon I have collected over the years.  The little
gems are from Joanns.  Now here come the
pictures showing more details.  

Got to love the bling!

Here you can see the layers.

On the inside I printed Happy Spring on a clear
piece of vellum and fuzzy cut it to fit in the 
medallion. I will write a message in the empty
space. 

Finally the back.

I hope you have liked my pictures of my creation.  It was a very fun project.  Love working with the The Paper Shelter!  That's it for this challenge.  I hope you can come and join in the fun!!!

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and have a blessed Easter!

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge #283 'Use some flowers'

 Hello!  I'm so happy you could visit my little space of the blog-o-sphere.  Hopefully I will be able to get this post written and posted before this computer does something horrible.  Yes still dealing with NO windows computer.  Maybe Bob will take be to Best Buy this weekend.  But that's not why you are here.  Our challenge for this month is 'Use Some Flowers'.  I have the most wonderful sponsor to show off this month.  Here we go!

Polkadoodles

Prize~£ 8.50/3 images

Can I just say I 💖Polkadoodles!  The images are crisp and clear and in several formats.  Digital images are very quickly available after your order is placed.  Please everyone go show some love.

For my inspirational project, I have chosen Snowdrop, The Darling Buds.  This is a image that I will use frequently (she's that pretty).  So here we go!

I colored Snowdrop with Prismacolor Pencils and
had my Silver Bullet Cutter cut a small outline to
add definition.  The teal hearts are brads.  I next
matted the orange flower paper on AC Cardstock
peach.  The stripes are 1/8" gold ribbon and the
oil spill jewels are both from Joanns (many years
ago).

Here's the inside.  This is a get well card for my 
daughter.  She has been diagnosed with what the
doctors are calling 'Long Covid'.  She has symptoms
that at this time (time will tell) will never clear up.
She loves anything tropical so the reason for the
flamingo and coconut drink.  The background paper
has been around since dirt.

This is the back.  I have die cut a sprocket from
a slimline set and then stamped with an old set
I found at tag sale.  I did not find a link to 
share.

My daughter also loves her coffee.  I thought this
might be just the ticket.

So that's it!  I invite you to enter our challenge and show off those flowers.  Can't wait to see what you create.

So for now, stay healthy, stay safe and be very blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #229 'add a flower'

 Welcome to my blog!  I am so happy you could visit.  Appliances and I are having a huge fight.  Dishwasher gave up the ghost right before Christmas.  Dryer gave out in early February and the final straw...my windows computers hard drive died 2 weeks ago.  Dishwasher and dryer are fixed.  Now I just need to get a Windows computer.  I am using my 2008 iMac right now.  It's slow but it is a trooper!  Ok enough about my woes.  Let me introduce our single sponsor for this challenge.

Beccy's Place

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

One of the very first images I designed with is from Beccy's Place.  Her images are a delight to create with.  Please everyone go show some love and have a look around.  She even has some freebies!!

Now on to my project.  I love flowers and I love pink flamingos.  This image has them both covered nicely.  I picked the Big Wishes set.  See the big bouquet of flowers with the skinny flamingo legs...that's the image.  I used the sentiment "Thanks A Bunch".  Here is the creation.

I colored this image with my Prismacolor Pencils.
In SCAL5, I made two borders. Cut the image and
both layers and glued them all together.  I printed 
the sentiment on light green paper and die cut it
out with my Gemini. The card base is some really
nice Bazzill and the background papers enhanced 
the base very nicely.  In the center of each 
flower is a gem. (had to add some bling)

The inside.  Same yellow from the front.

Here is the back.  The fold for the card is on
the top.

I made the envelope and for a change added the
same yellow paper as a liner.

Overall, I think that this project will lighten my SIL day.  

Thank you so much for visiting.  I will be back next month for another challenge from Crafty Gals Corner.

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

Happy St. Patrick's Day
everyone!!!
