Hello everyone.  I have a very different post to share with you today.  My tag for challenge #186 is totally digital.  It was created by using elements from the awesome company Decosse's Dynamite Doodlles.  Here is a little about the store...

I requested elements from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles  Tag Grab Bag 1: Cotton Candy Collection.  Having made advertising copy before, I am familiar with digital design.  Using Pic Monkey I uploaded all the elements I requested.  Then the fun began.  Shifting, duplicating and sometimes just starting over was the process.  Then I finally came up with the following design:


Yes this is extremely large.   Click on the pic to see all the elements.

This was a huge fun project.  Now if I wanted to, I could print out this design and put it on tag board, Put some ribbon on it and I would have a physical tag.  (which I think I may do)  

Thank you Decosse's Dynamite Doodles.  Your designs are as always, flawless!

That's it for this week.  See you on March 13, 2019 for our next challenge.

Bright Blessings,

Challenge #185 Love Is In The Air! Add a Heart

I am suffering a serious case of lost mojo.  I was a little lost in designing this weeks Valentines Day card.  I hmmmmed and haweeeed.  Then I decided that maybe quick and simply might be the trick.  I'll show you what I came up with in a few.  First let's see who our sponsor(s) are for this fortnights challenge.



Prize~$15 Gift Certificate




Prize~3 Digital Images

My dear crafties, please remember to show some love to our very gracious sponsors.  Without there support, Crafty Gals Corner Challenges would not exist.  So go say thank you!

Now for my card.  I am using Big Wet Kisses by Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I love this image.  There are a lot of ways you could use this.  Valentines Day, Wedding, Engagement, Anniversary the list goes on and on.  Sparkle N Sprinkle offers digi stamps non-colored or colored in the same download.  I love that this company does this.  

This week with my mojo being on vacation, I chose to use the colored image.  So I printed it out, backed it with some cute paper and pasted it on the card.  I next cut some Valentines Day Paper and used it like tape in a photo album.  So here is my design...




This is really cute paper .

Finished card
The inside.  

I have a designated Creative Options 12x12 container that is dedicated to Valentines Day paper.  A lot of it I have no idea where or who made it.  Sorry.

That's it for Valentines Day.  Now next challenge is going to be really fun.  So stay tuned.

Bright blessings,

Challenge #184 Clean and Simple

Welcome back.  Is it just me or are the days already speeding by?  Wasn't it just New Years Eve?  Maybe because I am getting older the days go faster?  I just don't know.  It's time for another fortnight challenge brought to you by Crafty Gals Corner Challenges.  This challenge is Clean and simple (CAS).  Let's see who our sponsor(s) are this challenge.


Prize~$10 Gift Certificate


Prize~2 Digital Images



Prize~3 Digital Images



Prize~$6 Gift Certificate

Crafties, you have to admit, those are fabulous sponsors!  Remember to give some love to their links.

So for my Clean and Simple card I chose a image from Dr. Digi's called Quackers.  I loved this image the minute i saw it.  So here is what I designed.

I printed out the image on Georgia Pacific #110 card.  Got my Primsacolor
pencils out and went to work.  Added some gold brads and the front
of the card was finished.
A couple of years ago, Joanns was clearancing the Minc system and all
that went along with it.  I picked up all the tags and stuff that I knew
I could foil using my Foilmaster from That's Scrap.   The image says
'You make me happy'.

Lets see how this works...These are the items I used to create this card.





My hubby bought this at Costco in 2015.  It stores all my small
stuff.  Inks are in the door area.

Well I will have to tweak this list a little more but you get the idea.  New pics are needed.  Maybe next challenge.

Have a wonderful next 2 weeks and I wish you bright blessings.
