Elisabeth Bell's World

Hi everyone!  Today I have a little project (don't laugh because I suck at them) that I created for the Elisabeth Bell's World challenge.  The challenge was Anything Christmas (but not a card).  I used this darling little digi called "Edens 2nd Christmas" and she is absolutely adorable!!  Here's the banner that I created for this challenge...

This is the very first time I have created a banner so I'm not overly thrilled with it!!  It just seems to blah to me.  Sorry for the crappy picture but we are having a snow storm and the light is awful!!

Copics Used:
Skin - E000, E00, E13, E21 and R20
Hair and bear - E25, E31, E35, E50 and YG93, YG95, YG97

Show Us Your Metal

My card won top 3 at The Pixie Cottage!!!  WooHoo!

Hey everyone!!  I'm writing this post while in a turkey coma so please forgive me any typing errors!!  :)

This week at Phindy's Place we are challenging you to use metal on your cards.  Okay....that one was a little difficult for me because I really don't have any metal and then I remembered that my friend Annika sent me some charms and stuff so I was hoping that I could find something to match my card and with a little altering...I did it!!  :)

For this card I have used Phindy's new image called "Cosy Cottage" and oh my....when I saw this image I was so inspired that I couldn't hardly wait to color it!!  This has got to be one of my favorite images evah!!  If you haven't check out Phindy's blog lately you really must.  She is cranking out some BEAUTIFUL Christmas images!!  Here's my card for this challenge....

Doesn't this just make the most amazing Christmas card image!?!  I love it!!!!

Copic's Used:
House and walkway - E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47 and E49
Trees - YG63, YG67 and G40
Lighted windows - Y32 and Y35

I've used lots of Diamond Stickles on this image and also used Tonertex foil and glitter on the Christmas wreath and the lights on the pine tree.  It looks so awesome IRL!!!  Almost like the lights are really twinkling!!!  I have used the Tonertex foils on the my snowflakes from Maya Road and used some metal bead findings and just smooshed them down to create a smaller snowflake for the center.  They look very pretty!  The background is done with Prisma's and Gamsol.

My DP is from the Jovial Collection by Basic Grey and it has been distressed with my Zutter Distrezz-it-All.  Totally love that thing!!!  My ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon and I have hand tied my double bow using the bow easy method without the bow easy.  I still haven't found that stupid thing!!!  :)

Thank you for stopping by today and make sure you stop by the Phindy's Place Challenge Blog and see what the rest of the DT has done.  FABULOUS!!!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge - Christmas (x is for x-mas)

Have a good one!!!

Copics Plus

Hi everyone!!  Its Wednesday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Simply Scrapping Crafts Copic Challenge Corner!!  WooHoo!!  :)  This week our challenge for you is to use another coloring medium with your Copics.  Fun huh!?!

For this challenge I have used one of my new Bildmalarna exclusive stamp club stamps from Bilmalarna.com .  OMGosh...you wouldn't believe how cute these stamps are!!  I just love each and every one of them!!  Here's my card....

It's little Tossa just the cutest!!  For this card I have colored the image with Copics and then I used Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol to add some shading and the background to my image.  I have used Prisma's on my background before but was never brave enough to try it on my image!!  For this one I have used them on the peach color on her dress to add the shading.  It really does look awesome and my have to use this technique a little more often!!!  I have also used my new Tonertex foil and glitter on her dress and buttons.  WOW....that stuff is AWESOME!!!  I also used the foil on the snowflake under my rose.  Seriously people, you have got to get some of this stuff.  The glitter even stays put!!!  LOVE IT!!!

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will join us at Copic Challenge Corner and show us your favorite coloring medium to use with Copics.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges....

A Sketch Challenge at Phindy's Place

Hey everyone!!  Well, have you ever gone to bed and right before your ready to fall asleep it whacks you in the head that you forgot to do your blog post!?!  OMGosh, I'm so sleepy so I'm going to keep this one short!  :)

This week at Phindy's Place we have this FABULOUS sketch for you to play with...

This sketch is from our very own Anne-Marije!!  Isn't it awesome!?!

Here's the card I created with the "Tango for Two" image...

Ahhhhh...two of my favorite people have finally gotten together!!  :)  I just love Mrs. Comfy and Mr. Brown and don't they just look so happy together!?!  LOL!!

Thank you for stopping by today and make sure you hop on over to Phindy's Place and check out the cards from the rest of the DT.  They are all FABULOUS!!  Hope you will join us this week and show us your take on this awesome sketch.

Anything Goes

Hi everyone!! This week at Simply Scrapping Craft's Copic Challenge Corner is anything goes.  Now who wouldn't want to play along in that!?!  :)  Simply Scrapping Crafts is such an AWESOME community.  I LOVE how friendly everyone is!!! 

Here's the card I created for this challenge using one of Mo's digital images called "Kai in the Snow" and OMGosh....I just LOVE this image!!

I decided that I had better justify a new large order placed at SCACD  (Hubby was really good to me for my birthday!  He just doesn't know it yet!!  I figured he could surprise me on Friday.) by using the Embossing Paste and snowflake stencil that I bought over a month ago.  Seriously....I must have MORE stencils!!  I love the look although if you look close enough you can see where my paste went underneath my stencil but I still love it.  I just took my DecoArt Glamour Dust and sprinkled over the top of my wet paste.  It is so fun and sparkly IRL!!!  I also used some Sparkly Fluff for the snow on the image.  I just felt so creative making this card.  LOL!  That doesn't happen very often with me.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope that you will join us at Simply Scrapping Crafts and then pop into Copic Challenge Corner and play along with our Anything Goes challenge.

I am also using this card for the following challenges...

Really Reasonable Ribbon - Christmas

Christmas is Coming.....

At Phindy's Place this week!!  Hi everyone.  Yep, we want to see your Phindy Christmas cards this week!!

For my card I have used a new image from Phindy's Place called "Gingerbread Delight" and she is so precious!!!  I just want to squeeze her.  :)

Isn't she just darling!?!  I played with some different colors on this image and was happy with how it turned out.  Sorry the picture is not so hot because I had to use my Ott light because we have been so grey here the last few day.  It kinda washes out the colors.

Make sure you check out what the rest of the DT has created for this awesome challenge!!  I would love to get every single one of them for Christmas!!!  ;)

Thank you for stopping by today and hope to see you at Phindy's Place this week!!!

Have a good one!!!

Thanksgiving Blessings

Hey everyone!!  It's time for a new challenge at the SSC Copic Challenge Corner and this week our challenge is "Thanksgiving".  I used this fabulous image from Karen's Doodles for my card this week....
