Frosty with Snowflake

YAY IT'S THE WEEKEND!  I have been trying to get to some coloring since yesterday and so far no success but once this is posted I am COLORING!  WOO!  

I wanted to share a card with some GORGEOUS papers from M R Designs called "Vintage Teal Frost".   Love the fact that these papers are INSTANT downloads.  In my world where we have no craft store, this is AWESOME for me!! 

Isn't this flourish FREAKIN' STUNNING?!!  It's a new release from Southern Ridge Trading Company. (COR-420)  I painted it up with some Martha Stewart texture (snow) and then covered it with Glitter Ritz.  It's even more stunning in real life, as everything is.  LOL!

The "Frosty" sentiment is another piece from M R Designs from the "Elements 2" pack and has 8 different tags with different sayings.  Again, instant gratification!! 

 I've made a few small bouquets on my card (I know, so unlike me - "small" - hee hee) and I had to actually color my own flower with Copics to make it match following this tutorial. 

This snowman is from the "So Snowy 2009" collection and such a favorite of mine!!  "Frosty with Snowflake" soooooo cute!!  The trees are Magnolia dies and the short one is from the new doohickey collection from this year.  I glittered some and just added snow texture to the middle one. 

 Well that's all I have for you today!  I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Just Playing

It's been awhile since I've had the chance to color.  I was worried maybe I'd forgotten.  LOL!  But alas, I'm ok.  I guess it's just like riding a bike.  Although, I did practice AGAIN, 3 times before the finale.  LOL!!  Now it'll go into my coloring book for ME!  hee hee

October Kit and Clowder Challenge

Oh my ok I'm just a little behind but have finally gotten a chance to write my post with my card.  LOL!!   This month at Kit and Clowder's monthly challenge our sponsor is Scrapper's Delights and this challenge

ANYTHING GOES!!

So c'mon and play with us!  An easy one this month!  I chose to use this cute Halloween digi image called "Sabrina Witch".

Isn't this the cutest web?!!  #CEL-13  It's a chipboard piece from Southern Ridge Trading Company.  I don't think you'll see too many cards without at least once piece any time soon.  LOL!  I just LOVE them and I've bought all kinds of new things to alter chipboard.  I painted the web first with a black Tim Holtz dauber and then sprayed with a mist after it dried.

 I finally got to use some of my STASH!  My Tim Holtz skull and bones and now I have only 5 left.  haaa ha ha ha!

I even added some silver Stickles the buckle on her hat.

Copic colors are listed below.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Birthday!

Today is my stepdaughter's birthday and I cheated a little and asked her if she liked the artist's images before creating this card for her.  I directed her to the site and she said "just 1?".  LOL!!  So, it was nice to play with a fun image and this one is called "Lucy Loo" from TheEastWind.

The papers are from Pion Designs and ironically I just realized they are called "My Precious Daughter".  ha ha ha!  The cute tassel is from Prima and the pen nib on my butterfly (hiding behind my bouquet of flowers) is from Tim Holtz.

The pretty frame (#FRA-10) is from Southern Ridge Trading Company and I added TH rock candy to distress it and then some painted it with Gesso. 

The big flower is from Prima and the gorgeous center is from Live and Love Crafts, as is the resin butterfly.  I added some TH ink first to deepen the color in the crevasses and then daubed some TH paint lightly over-top.

The gorgeous laces and rolled flower are from Live and Love Crafts.  The purple lace was very light pink but I sprayed it with Prima's Color Bloom "Iris".  I just love these spray mists they are incredible!

This image took me FOREVER to color but it was worth it.  As always there were a few spots I wanted to go back to but TOO LATE!   LOL!

Well being that it's Friday you all enjoy the weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!

Santa Is Coming!!

I know I know isn't it horrifying to note how close xmas is again already?!!  I thought this year I would get ahead but pffft - that is soooo not happening!!  LOL!!  I didn't make a lot of cards for xmas yet but when Michele put out these new "Santa Is Coming" papers I couldn't WAIT to create! 

These are just gorgeous digi papers to play with from Michele R Designs and what I like?  INSTANT GRATIFICATION!!  Print off a few from the collection and away you go!!  And with me living in a small town where there is NO store it's WONDERFUL!  

This incredible guy is from Southern Ridge Trading Company under the Christmas & Holidays category #XMAS - 454.  It's wood, which I luuuuuuuv and all I did was add some ink to the edges to make it pop a bit. 

This banner piece is from the Santa is Coming Element Pack 1 and having a few pieces from those element packages really makes it easy to build a card.

Again the little ribbon and tag pieces are from the Santa is Coming Element Pack 1 but the sentiment tag is from the Santa is Coming Element Pack 2.  Don't you love my Prima flower?!  Yup, I know I could probably make these but when I spend so much time making my cards already, it's nice and quick to grab a pre-made gorgeous flower!!  

Did you know that Michele R Designs is on Facebook and that there are FREEBIES every Friday?!!  And my OH my they are GORGEOUS!!!  

Feels good to post!  It's been awhile and life has been so hectic but I'm hoping it settles down for the winter now.  Famous last words right?!  ha ha ha ha ha!  Thanks for stopping by!
