Christmas In July And A Farewell

Woot! Woot! Woot! Challenge time at Craft Your Passion. This week, we are celebrating Christmas in July! Our sponsor is Digi's By Phooka, who's offering one lucky winner a fabulous digi prize!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce, today, that I have stepped down from the Design Team at Craft Your Passion. I've been with CYP a long time, but the time has come to move on. I'm going through some personal and family issues at home and have had to cut down on some DT work for the time being.

I've used the Animals in Xmas Sock set, by Digi's By Phooka, colored with Promarkers. The papers and red sequined trim are all from my stash.

Anything Christmas

Whoo Hoo! Another card for the Christmas In July challenges at Catch The Bug. I've had a blast playing along and even managed to use all Bugaboo images for the challenges! Yay, me!

Friday's Christmas Challenge is Anything Goes.

My card layout follows the Challenge #120 Sketch at Digital Tuesday. I started out with two papers, but then as I began putting the card together, I found this fun brick wall paper and thought it would makle a perfect accent piece. I used all papers from my stash. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is colored with Promarkers. I used star shaped glitter brads to accent the lower right corner. The top left corner is embellished with loops of ribbon and buttons. The sentiment is also from Bugaboo Stamps. The sentiment and image are both mounted with foam mounting tape for dimension. I've added glitter and sparkle to the image with a clearstar gelly roll pen.

Christmas Week at Catch The Bug

I'm playing in the Christmas In July week challenges at Catch The Bug and this is my second card. I'm hoping to play in all of the challenges this week, to show my love for Bugaboo Stamps!

For this card, I went with a fun card fold. This card opens up into two panels with the decorative flap as the third panel. I used the freebie image for Tuesday's challenge at Catch The Bug and colored it with Promarkers. The christmas papers are from Hobby Lobby. Ribbon is from my stash. I added glitter and sparkle to the image and the decorative paper squares with my clearstar gelly roll pen. For my card layout, I used PTT#25 sketch at party Time Tuesdays

I definitely went non traditional on this one! LOL I chose a fun leopard print paper from my stash.! My card uses MMSC113 Sketch at Priscilla's Styles

Text Me While I'm Thinking Of You

Thanks so much to all of you for all of your fabulous entries in last week's challenge at Craft Your Passion! We have another fun challenge for you today! Our theme this week is "Text me." We want to see some text, sentiment, etc, somewhere on your project! Fun and easy challenge this time, so be sure you play along!

Our sponsors this week are Lauretta's Digital Stamps and CocoDingo. Play along this week for your chance to win digi images from one or both!

For my project, I chose to alter this cute birdhouse. The birdhouse was painted with Adirondack paint daubers and then stamped with a background stamp, on the roof of the birdhouse. The front and sides are stamped with a flower stamp, and pearls added to the centers of the flowers. The bird on the front is a digi image by CocoDingo. The image is colored using Promarkers and attached with foam mounting tape for dimension. All stamping on this project was done using paints, instead of ink.

This was a fun project to do! I hope you were able to get some inspiration out of it!

Planning A Wedding?

I'm back, again, with a new project to show you my latest project for Tableau Tuesday, at Daisy's Doodles.

These gorgeous images, (both the bride & groom, and the dove) colored with Promakers, are from the new Wedded Bliss set, and its available, now, in the Daisy Doodles store.

I like to create different things, sometimes, other than cards. I love finding different things to alter.

When I planned my wedding years, ago, I used a spiral bound notebook and added tabs to the edges of some of the pages, and labeled it into different subjects and used it as a wedding planner. It worked great, even though it looked like a basic notebook.

So that got me thinking.... this composition book would look great altered into a wedding planner! And so, that bring me to today's project!

I covered this composition notebook with two beautiful floral papers from Stampin Up, and added some cream ribbon, then added my colored and cut out images from Daisy Doodles. The images are mounted with foam mounting tape, for dimension and 3D effect. I embellished with flowers from my stash, and added greenery punched with a Martha Stewart punch, around the flowers. The Wedding Planner wording is done with stickers from Creative Memories. The pearls for the flower centers are also from my stash. I added glitter and sparkle to the images with my Clearstar gelly roll pen.

Knight In Shining Armour

Hey Hey, what do you say? Are you ready for another Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images?! We have a fun image to share with you today. Those of you who love medievil times will love this one! I fell in love with it when I seen it and knew I had to create something special with him!

Our featured image today at Shelly's Images is this cute boy on a horse, called Knight. I've used him to make this fun altered castle as a gift for a friend who loves Medievil and fantasy as much as I do.

Remember, Knight is available for a special price, today only, in the Shelly's Images Store.

After you are done here looking at my castle, We'd love it if you'd op on over to Shelly's Images and check out the wonderful creations by the rest of the design team.

I found this cool wooden castle at Michael's and knew instantly it would be perfect to go with the Knight image! I used paint daubers by Adirondack, to paint the castle silver. The image is colored with Promarkers. I used scraps of patterned paper and the new banner punch from Stampin Up to create the fun banner to hang from the castle. The image is attached with foam mounting tape for dimension.

I had so much fun making my little castle. I hope you like it!

Ready, set, run over to Stamp Insanity and Show us your Insanity!

My card today was made especially for my friend, Eric, who lives in Florida. So it is inspired by Florida, summer and the beach. He's going to love it!

The sketches at Creatalicious and Inspirational Card Sketches were my layout inspirations. I've used three bright cheerful patterned papers, and a die cut lace doily. (Gottta love my spots and stripes!) All papers are scraps from my stash, as is the ribbon. The blue buttons are recycled from an old shirt I threw away when I cleaned the closet. If you look closely, you can see shimmer and sparkle on the doily - The doily is sprayed using Perfect Pearls shimmer spray. I love the look this spray gives and it's so much fun to play with. My image is by Stamp Insanity and is colored with Promarkers.

For my card today I got out my oh so fun Adirondack paint daubers again. I love these things because you can dab them directly onto your stamps and use the paint like ink! Fun stuff! The background paper is crimped with my paper crimper. I used a couple of background stamps to create this cool handmade layered flower with a button center. The sentiment is also stamped in paint. I used this cute hippie chick digi stamp from Sassy Studio Designs. Isn't she fab?! I absolutely love her! She's so groovy! This card turned out so cute! I'm going to send it to my cousin who's going through some tough times and could use some cheer right now.

Pretty Pastels

Happy Independence Day! Not only is it Independence Day, but it's also Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images!

Today's featured image is Carnations, from Shelly's Images. This beauty comes two ways, withe the regular ribbon and then with the Patriotic theme. When you buy this fabulous digi, you get both versions for one price! Whoo Hoo! How's that for a bargain?!


This gorgeous Carnations digi is available for a special price, today only, in the Shelly's Images Store.

I created my card today for a very dear lady who's going through treatment for a medical condition and can use some cheering up. I went with pink and green pastels for summer and colored the image with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash. The brads are made with matching paper using my Itop bradmaker. (First time I've used it and I love, love, love it!) My card layout uses the sketches at Card Positioning Systems and at Priscilla's Styles.
