Marvelous Monday

It's Marvelous Monday today, at Shelly's Images!

No project from me today, as I'm in charge of the challenge card later this week, at Shelly's Images. I at least wanted to show you this week's featured image, T Is For Trouble, available today only, for a special sale price in Shelly's Store

Even though my card will not be up till Thursday, I hope you'll stop by Shelly's Images to see all the wonderful T Is For Trouble creations, by my DT sisters. They'd love to hear your comments!

Showing Some Swan Love

It's that time, again! Time for another Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images! Today's featured image is Swan Love. Swan Love is on sale, today only, in in the Shelly's Images store While you're there, check out her other fabulous images, too! There are so many wonderful images!

I've used today's Featured image, Swan Love, colored with Promarkers. This image is so beautiful and elegant. I had trouble deciding if I wanted to go with a Wedding card, or an anniversary card, for this image. It is perfect for both! I ended up going with a wedding card, in mind, but you could use this card for anniversary, as well. I used some of my new supplies for this card. These two yummy metallic specialty cardstocks were perfect for this image, and for achieving the elegant look I was going for. I bought these just last week and am so glad I did! The gold ribbon with metallic threads is from Michael's, but its been in my stash since Christmas of 2009 LOL. The sentiment is a digi sentiment, purchased from Sentiments 4 You. I used the oval and scalloped oval punch from Stampin Up. The sentiment is mounted using foam mounting tape, for dimension. I used my trusty clearstar gelly roll pen, to add glitter and sparkle to the image. My card fits the sketches at Paper Pretties, at Card Positioning Systems and at Totally Gorjuss.

Let's Take A Sleigh Ride

Once, again, It's Marvelous Monday at Shelly's Images!

This week's featured image is Sleigh Ride. This image makes a wonderful Christmas card. I love the detail Shelly put into the image when she created it. (You can have it for your very own! Get it here, at Shelly's Images!) While you're there, check out Shelly's other great images.I colored the image with Promarkers. Sparkle was added using a Clearstar gelly roll pen. The paper is from my stash, from an old DCWV Christmas stack. The ribbon is from my stash as well. The poinsetta flower is actually a flower brad, from Spare Parts. The Christmas ticket is a digi. I can't remember the name of the company where I got it now, but will look in my files and update the post if I can find the name of the creator. (Gotta hate when you print out an image and then forget to label it!) My card fits the sketch at Truly Scrumptious, at Sparkle Dreams,and at Create4Fun. This card is for my awesome friend, Dan.
