Winter Christmas Wishes

Oh wow, darn internet has been bad, bad, bad here! My apologies to all my followers for being so late in getting my post written! Finally got some internet lasting long enough to save a post! Yay!  Anyway, I have some awesome news!

I have been asked to be a guest designer for C is For Challenge and this is my first GDT project! Yay! So excited!  It's always such an honor and a pleasure to be invited to do a guest designer spot!  Thank you so much, Anna, for giving me this opportunity!

Today's new challenge at C is For challenge is to use Buttons. If you're like me, you love using buttons, so this is a great challenge to play along with, isn't it? You have two weeks to play along, and we have some fabulous sponsors offering up some awesome prizes for the lucky winners! Want to win? If you do, then you have come pop over and play along with us! What are you waiting for? Come play along!

I made this cute Christmas card today, using the image Alannah, from Stamp Art Designs By Kathryne, colored with Promarkers. I used this fun mix of snowflake and plaid paper scraps from my stash.  Two large green buttons, recycled from an old coat, were threaded with Christmas colored baker's twine, and used to embellish the card. I used two pieces of metallic green holly in the upper right corner.


I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Whoo I've Caught The Bug!

I've been a huge fan of Bugaboo Stamps every since I first discovered them and love love love Jodi's images! It's always been my dream to be part of the team and now I finally get to be a part of it, at least for a couple of months! I'm so excited to tell everyone that...

I've been asked to be the Guest Designer for January and February at Bugaboo Stamps!!!

Oh my gosh, I am so darn thrilled! I'm going to have such a blast working and creating with this awesome team!

Come over to visit and check out the fabulous eye candy from the team at Catch The Bug featuring today's new release AKV Ninjas! They're a group of Ass-Kicking, Fist-Flying Fun!


Here's my first project as Guest Designer for Bugaboo Stamps.






My card uses this fiesty new release AKV Ninja image from Bugaboo Stamps. Monochrome Blue was my theme this time, though I added in some papers with silver glittery accents for that little something extra. The image is colored with Promarkers. I used some Stampin Up ribbon and silver adhesive pearls from my stash. The flower is punched with a punch by Martha Stewart, then layered with a button and adhesive pearl for the flower center.

A Fairy Special Birthday

Today, I'm very excited to announce that I'm going to be a guest designer for the month of September, at Corrosive! Whoo Hoo! Thanks so much, ladies for giving me this opportunity!

Our challenge at Corrosive, this fortnight, is funny or punny. We want to see your funny sentiments or use a pun on your projects. This is wide open for interpretation so have fun and play along with us at Corrosive for your chance at prized from Dude Time Doodles and
Paper Makeup Stamps. You have two weeks to play along in this challenge, so there's no use to come over and play with us!

And now, I'm thrilled to show you my first guest DT card:




My card layout follows the sketch at Papertake Weekly. This cute little fairy image is by Paper Makeup Stamps. I've colored her with Promarkers and added glitter and sparkle with a clearstar gelly roll pen. All papers are from my stash. I used this new lavender crochet trim, as well as a stick pin I made using pearls and bows. The sentiment says "A Fairy Special Birthday." (Sorry the easel is covering up the word Birthday on the bottom right corner. I didnt realize that when I posted the pic.)
