FURRY FRIENDS CHALLENGE AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN #131

Good morning, I am here today as a new Design Team member at Tuesday Throwdown,  if you have not visited before you should. I have been playing there for a couple of years off and on. I really am so glad to be a new member of the team. This weeks challenge is "Furry Friends" so if you have any favorite animal create your project and come on and join us. Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs, isn't my monkey just the cutest things. I thought that he would make a cute birthday card and he did. I have a lot of birthdays in February and this is only the first card to be made. I have a long way to go.

I colored the image with copics E11, E13, E15, V04. The balloons, stars are from an embellishment set that does not have a name on it. I typed the sentiment on the computer. The card stock is from Recollections and I embossed with a cuttlebug embossing folder.

BLINGS AND FLOWERS

Good morning, it is Saturday and time for a little play. In my head I have all of these projects that I want to create, but time is this huge factor. When you work full time and are involved in so many other things during the week it is very hard to get much creating done. But, I am going to try. I have been playing around with making stick pins. Love it, they are great when used on our many projects, especially mini albums and tags and even cards. These were made for a new friend and I will be mailing them out today.

 

The paper is K and Company black and cream fusion. I punched the corners with a Martha Stewart corner punch. This is from a set that I bought before Christmas and find myself using it all the time. The red, clear and black bling is also from K and Company. I bought it a couple of years ago and have been hoarding it. It is no longer on the market. The flowers are from my stash.

The large floral pins are from Joann's and they are 3 inches long. I colored the pearls on top with my copic marker. The purple beads were taken from a necklace that someone gave me. The silver findings are from Michaels. The short pins are from Hobby Lobby and they were already gray . The swirls on the back of the package is from my stash. The black ribbon wrapped around the package is from my stash and has adhesive already on it. The red and pink beads were bought at Walmart. I really love how these turned out and will be making more for use on my projects.

WHAT'S ON YOUR WORKDESK WEDNESDAY 189

Hi ladies, yes I have been MIA for weeks and I am having withdrawal pains. I am going to try and get this posted. It has been harder since Julia changed the time of posting. I have missed visiting all of the wonderful desk and so I am back. But, my mojo has not been home since Christmas. We went on vacation and it hasn't returned. But, I am going to show my desk anyway and maybe doing a little visiting will give me some inspiration.

 

 

 I have a commission for a wedding album, colors black, cream and deep purple. So I started getting my papers cut and that is as far as I got. In the middle of the desk are some stick pins that I was playing around with. And in the background you can see my WOYWW button. Ladies I am back. I have a YouTube channel that I have started posting to. And I have been asked to be on 2 new design teams.  This is going to be a fabulous year. Now, if you want to know why I am showing off my desk, just head on over to The Stamping Ground and check it out. Well that is it for me, I am off to check out some of my favorite blogs.

BUTTERFLY CHALLENGE #24 AT BROWN SUGAR CHALLENGE BLOG

Good morning, I am so excited. I was recently asked to join the Design team at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog. I started playing there last year and it was always lots of fun. They were a fairly new challenge blog. But, everyone there is so nice and friendly. So, come on over and join us. You will be glad that you did. The challenge this week is Butterflies and the sponsor is Delicious Doodles, they have some wonderful images and also have a challenge blog. You should go by and check them out.

My image is called "Butterfly Kisses" and was colored using copics.E11, E13, E23, E53, the purple star jelly roll glitter pen and the atyou spica glitter pen pink. I also used the Momento marker, lilac posies. The DP paper is K and Company, the card stock is DCWV and it is from a new mat stack that I recently bought and I used a kraft card base from Recollections. The bling was part of my Christmas gift from my sister. She always knows just what to get me. I used the scallop edge corner chomper from We R Memory Keepers for the corners. The sentiment stamp is from a set Hero arts. It is one of those sets that has a sentiment for almost everything. That is it for this card. Please join us at Brown Sugar Challenges.

NEW BEGINNINGS

 

 

Since this is a New Year, I thought that my first crafty post of the year should be about new beginnings. So here is a card I made for a new baby. The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and it is a card that I made for my daughter to give to a friend of hers. I really love the simplicity of this card and the new mother was thrilled.

 

 

.The image was colored with my copics E11, E13, E09, E15, V04, V12. I used the spica lilac glitter pen and the Cuttlebug baby embossing folder. The card stock is bazzil. That is it. So, I am going to keep this post short because I have some crafting to get back to. There is no work today and it is raining. I have all day to do whatever I want. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.

BLOG CANDY WINNERS

HAPPY NEW YEAR, yes it is that time again. A time for new beginnings. How many of you make new years resolutions and then after a few months they fall by the wayside? I don't make resolutions, I set goals and at the end of the year if I have not fully met my goals I add that one to the top of the list for the next year. And for those that I did meet I do the happy dance. Some goals take longer to meet and knowing that at the beginning of the year helps not to feel like a failure at the end of the year. Ok, enough of that. I also like to set crafting goals. And here are a few of those.

1. To create more in my art journals
2. To try at least 2 new projects that I have not done before.
3. To make more time for creating.
4. To get caught up on my scrapbooking.

Well, that is it for my goals. Now it is time for the reason that I am really here this morning. The WINNERS OF MY BLOG CANDY.

We have thrown all of the names into the hat so to speak and have come up with 2 winners. The winner of the Tim Holtz package is MARYANN and the winner of the surprise package is LAURA. Please send me your address and I will get these in the mail by the end of the week. Congratulations ladies. I hope that I have inspired you all in some way and that you will join me again this year for my crafting journey.  I recently started a YouTube channel and would love it if you would stop by sometime.

I would like to thank all of my followers for the support that you have shown me the last 3 years. Yes, it has been 3 years since I started blogging and making cards. I still find it hard to believe that I am still here. I really did not think that I would last 3 weeks let alone 3 years. But, I know that I would not have made it with my followers. So once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR. I hope that everyones dreams for the year come true.
