Harry Potter

Thursday October 14, 2010

I have two cards that I worked on for the Bugaboo Challenge involving a Harry Potter theme.  My first card involves Harry Potter from Pixie Dust.  I used Diamond Glaze on his glasses and colored him with my Copic markers.  The Sketch is this weeks design for SFYTT.

The Second Card is the Gentle Giant for the Bugaboo Harry Potter challenge.  I used the diamond glaze on the lantern of this card, and colored him with my Copics.  I used this weeks Mojo Sketch from Verve.

My Third Card is a recipe card from There She Goes using Kraft cardstock, white, black, and a splash of another color.  I stamped the flower siloutte from Stampabilities in tourquise and used stickles to give a little accent to the flowers.

Jazzy and Josie

Wednesday October 13, 2010

This weekend I was able to win the new Josie in a Hat stamp from Stamping Baazar which is so adorable.  I just can't wait to make a project with it.  It reminds me of one of our cats (we have four) who likes to sleep in a box.  Last month when I purchased some raspberries from Costco, Jasmine, or otherwise known as Jazzy, has found it to be a place she likes to sleep.  I went to Target and purchased her a fluffy cat bed, but she won't have anything to do with it instead she LOVES the box.

Here is a card that I did using the Balloon Kaylee digital image by Some Odd Girl which is having a challenge to use fabric.  The patterned paper is fabric paper that I stitched and it is has a glue backing called Dear Lizzy by American Crafts.  The sketch is Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 88.  Also this will qualify for the Crazy for Challenges 58 Birthday Theme.

Cardstock: Bazzil
Markers: Copics, grass Close to My Heart marker, Jelly sparkle pen
Stamp: It's Your Birthday, Verve

Baby & Halloween

Tuesday October 12, 2010

The Wild Flower Patch has a challenge of anything goes as long as it involves their image.  I used one of the new witch images following this weeks Taylor's Expression sketch 131.

Cardstock: Bazzil
Markers: Copic

For my Second Card I made a card for my six month old nephew, who will be celebrating his first Christmas this year.  I used Mo Manning's Digital image "Kai in the snow" and submitted it for  Pixie Dust's Baby Challenge this week and I used this weeks Card Patterns Sketch 85.  I think Christmas is going to be fun this year with a baby since my kids are teen-agers.  There is nothing like seeing the beauty of the season through the eyes of a child.

Altered Notebook

Friday October 8, 2010

The Greeting Farm had a challenge for an altered notebook  This is what I came up with using the Digital image of Devilish Anya.  I all too often find myself going to the scrapbook store for an item then once I am there I find wonderful fun items, but I forget the original item that I needed for a project that I am working on so that is why I designed this notebook.  Which leaves me spending too much money and my husband tells me that I have enough supplies to open my own store.  I used My Minds Eye Lush paper and a chipboard book.  I added some flowers and cystals by Recollections.   

Swirls

Wednesday October 6, 2010

This week the challenge at Pixie Dust is swirls.  I used this Paper Studio red and green swirled paper that was outlined in silver glitter.  The image is Greta the Green from Pixie Dust.  The Merry Christmas stamp is from Hero Arts with the addition of a velvet ribbon and a satin bow.  The sketch is from this weeks Verve design 3.  I entered this in this weeks Bugaboo Challenge.  I tried to enter it in the Verve Challenge in which the link was to be open until 11:59 pm; however, it was closed when I tried after my daughter's Homecoming football game a little after 11 pm central time.

You're Tweet

Sunday October 3, 2010

I have been working on a project for my daughter.  She is having a team dinner on Tuesday evening and needs 18 treat bags and picked a Kraftin' Kimmie image for me to stamp on all of them.  I am trying to match everyone's hair color so I have completed the 7 blond and 3 light brown and now I am taking a break.  I have 3 dark brown, 3 black and 1 red to go.  Then putting them together.

I decided to quickly do a card for the Little Paper Shop Challenge using Yellow, Brown, and Orange since I am not using those colors for the project I am working on.  I used my Copics to color this image of You're Tweet and added prima flowers with some studio 18 crystals.  I used a Fiskar border punch.

Halloween colors

Friday October 1, 2010

I can't believe that it is October first already.  I feel like I am already behind since I don't have my Halloween decorations out.  I did work on a project for the Bugaboo Challenge this week which is to do a 3D-Halloween.  I put the witch feet on the side of the Chinese take out box that is in black which I got from Michael's.  I thought this would be a great gift for putting in some treats.  I actually wanted some candy corn after I colored the witch stockings.

I also did a card for the Kraftin Kimmie Challenge which is to use the colors green, orange, and purple.  I just received today my new set of stamps so I was able to use the Annette, Glamor Girl.  I did her dress in green and purple and gave her an orange necklace with shades of carmel and orange hair.  The paper is by the Yellow Bicycle Co.  I used this weeks Taylor Expressions Sketch 129 for this card.
