Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #234 'Lazy days of summer'

 Hello hello hello everyone!!!  As most of you know, I live in Oregon, USA.  We rarely see any thunderstorms.  Well we had a couple of rumbles just now.  I am not turning off the computer as I have a very expensive surge protector on both computers and all the other electronic stuff.  So I am eating Campbells Creamy Chicken and Dumplings soup and writing this blog post.  Now on to the sponsors.

Colour of Love

Prize~3 Digital Images

Morgans Artworld

Prize~3 Digital images used by

the design team

Patties Creations

Prize~3 Digital images

These are some of the cream of the crop for sponsors.  I have designed with all of them for different teams and the images are just wonderful to work with.  Please go show some love!

On to what I have created.  I have made a card using an image from Colour of Love called Possum Dragonflies.  These possums are just so cute and there are many to chose from. Go have a look.

I used my Prismacolor Pencils, Arteza Pencils, Glitter Gel 

pens and paper piecing to create this card.  The card base is

Paper Accents. The hot pink is Astro brights copy paper.  The

ground is cut freehand and applied to the base card.  The

umbrella is just because it is summer!!!

Here is how I decorated the inside.  The stickers are from my
Happy Planner sticker box.  The background paper is a scrap.

The back of the card with my new stickers.

So what did you think?  I have to admit that I love those possums and whenever I get to design with

Colour Of Love I try and find a new one.  

Boy lazy days of summer sure is hitting hard.  I am so thankful I live on the west coast in Oregon.  The heat really doesn't last very long and isn't hot.  (yes, i am knocking on wood)

Thank you so much for visiting and I will see you next month with another creation.

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

The Crafters Cafe Challenge #287 Spring or Autumn Colors

Hello everyone.  It's time for another monthly challenge at The Crafters Cafe.  The theme is Spring or Autumn colors.  I have decided my project is late spring early summer.  So let's get started with who our sponsor is.

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.

So that's it for another Crafters Cafe Monthly Challenge.  I really hope that you can join us!

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #233 'Christmas in July'

Welcome everyone!  I have a super fun creation to share with you! "It's Christmas in July" challenge here with the Crafty Gals. Let's get started.  

Beccy's Place

Prize~$10 Gift Certificate

Beccy's Place graciously provided images for the design team to use.  But unfortunately my image was not recoverable from my hard drive that decided to die.  So I have used 5 of the freebies she also offers.  Here is my creation.

I have made Christmas Tags.  I chose these images from Beccy's

Place Freebies.  I have a wreath, oranaments x 3 and finally

a Christmas Stocking.  I colored each one with my Prismacolor

Pencils.  Next I embellished each one.  I cut out each tag using

my Gemini cutting machine.  The tag dies are from different

companies bought at Tuesday Morning. I put very small 

grommets on the top and some matching ribbon.  Now here is 

the back.

I printed each back with the To: and From:.  I have used a
really fancy cursive font and a hand printed one. 

Now there are 5 different style tags.  I made 4 of each tag.  Grand total is 20 tags.  I do believe these will do to start.  

I am so happy that you could drop by today.  I can't wait to see what you create! So until next month,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!
