BE COURAGEOUS - BE KIND

WOW, I can't believe it has been over a year since I have crafted and created anything. Looks like I need to update my blog templates also.

I have lots of the Lindy's Stamps Gang Sprays and decided to use them for the Color Challenge this month.  

This canvas has lots of layers and along the way I made several mistakes.  The great thing about mixed media - that's okay.  It was fun.  Sorry the pictures are not as clear as I would like.  It seems I have even forgotten how to take good pictures.  The pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them.

The little 4 x 4 canvas in the center is an Indigo Blue Stamp with several sprays.

Every color in the challenge for this month was used.  Some of the colors I blended and love the results. 

I used Magnolia Magenta Gold on this flower and the gold from the spray gives it a really nice shine, even though the pic doesn't quiet reveal it.

The color challenge for this month is below:

Pink Ladies Pink, Summer Lovin' Sun, Magnolia Magenta Gold, Greased Lightin' Green, and Tilt a Wheel Teal.  They are available to purchase in a set or individually.

Hopefully, I will get my mojo back and have the time to start crafting again.  I soooooo missed it and love it.

Have a Wonderful Day,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hi Everyone,

The holiday seasons are upon us.  This is my favorite time of the year.  I love the lights, family, and celebrating the birth of Christ and seeing all the kids faces so happy and shining on Christmas morning.

To help ring in the holidays I made a simple card to share with you.  The image is a digi from Carmen Medlin Digitals for SCACD - Christmas Owl  Since the papers are so busy I kept it simple and just used papers, punch, and rhinestones.  The image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and highlighted with Stickles and Gloss. 

Thank you for stopping by.  I value all of my followers and comments and also value your work as well.

Have a wonderful day and a fun week !!

Harvest Greetings

Good Morning,

Today is going to be a beautiful crisp Fall day.  Thanksgiving will be here soon and everyone has something to be thankful for.  Happy Happy time of the year.

I couldn't wait to share this cute little owl with you  He is so versatile.  It is a Carmen Medlin for SCACD Digital - GOTHIE OWL.  As so many of you do - I love owls and can't get enough of them. There are some of all styles HERE.  In fact next week I will have another one to share with you

The image is colored with Copics and I put some crackle on his belly, gloss on his nails and eyes  and finished the card with some Stickles.  The background paper was just plain so I added some purple glitz. The spiders are from my stash. 

Thank you for stopping bye today and I  will see you next week.  In the meantime have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your week.

Winter Friends

Good Morning,

It is a beautiful morning. The air is crisp and cool and so refreshing.  Should be a gorgeous day.

Today I would like to share one of my favorite digis - WINTER FRIENDS by Carmen Medlin for SCACD Digital.   I love owls.  In fact, we have one that visits us every night - never knew they could be so loud.  SCACD has some holiday digis also with owls that are really cute.  Check them out.

WINTER FRIENDS

The image is colored with Copics and then I used some faux snow at the bottom.  Did you notice the little pearls put here and there around the card?  They pearls are KAISERCRAFT PEARLS .

Enjoy the rest of the week and have a fabulous and fun weekend !

MR. BOBBLE HEAD

Good Morning,

Looks life fall is here.  Love the weather, but the allergies not so much.  That means my favorite season - Christmas - is just around the corner.

Bobble Heads seem to have made a big return everywhere.  So, I wanted to make a card using this CARMEN MEDLIN  for SCACD DIGITAL - BOBBLE PUMPKIN.  The sentiment comes with the image - which for me is perfect - and is funny.

BOBBLE PUMPKIN

The image is colored with a combination of Copics and NeoColors.  His head is cut out and popped up.  See the little calico cat in the corner - it was cut using the  IMPRESSION OBSESSION DIES and then I used a tiny green eye.  SCACD  has the 6 x 6 paper pads on sale now, including the holidays.

Hope you enjoyed my card and it made you laugh.

Have a wonderful week and be safe !!

SCACD NEW RUBBER STAMPS and DIGITAL RELEASE !!!

Good Morning,

SCACD Digital is also releasing today a fun little gaggle of digital ghoulies that scream fun and sweetness.  You can check them out HERE! 

International friends may purchase at QUIXOTIC PAPERIE.

You should have arrived here from Elaine's blog.  Her projects are always fabulous.

Baobab Trees

These trees are so beautiful. To me they reflect a calming and peaceful affect.  As you can see there are 2 different sizes.  These are wonderful for journaling  whether in a scrapbook, on a card, or canvas.  In fact, I am considering doing a journaling page and a canvas with them.  Of course, you can use them several different ways.  I stamped in DELICATA PIGMENT INK  - Golden Glitz.  
The birds are stenciled with a CRAFTERS WORKSHOP STENCIL - CHERRY BLOSSOMS.  The sentiment on the bottom reads "Strength comes from within."

No Mixed Signals

Love Love Love the MechAnimals.  They are so much fun and your imagination can just run wild.  There is no right or wrong with these.  I really like the sentiment with this imageWith the  multi social media we live in today sometimes messages, email, twitter etc. can be taken different ways.

The image is colored with the copics. The very versatile corners are  DIES by SCACD - Garden Corners.  They cut beautifully every time.  The embellishments are from my stash.

Isn't this blog hop fun?  The projects are just outstanding.  

From here please hop on over to Crystal's blog.  I am sure she has a magnificent project for you. 

Thank you for joining us today have a wonderful weekend!!
