TCC Feature Friday!

Good morning, hope all is well with you! Today is Feature Friday for TCC again. For the Work It Wednesday this week, Shelley gave us a tutorial on playing with ribbon. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ribbon, so this was perfect for me to play along with. Although I must say this wasn't the easiest ribbon technique for me, but it was fun. I used the image "Tree Hugger Bailey". Isn't it cute!? I colored with my prisma pencils and baby oil. The CS is Bazzill Bling, and all DP is DCWV. I added some prima's, stickles, and a few brads, and voila'. Don't forget to play along with Work It Wednesday, you could win some adorable images.

Do You Believe?

Good afternoon, hope all is well with you. Today I have a card that was made for the Sassy Studio Design's Release. Saturday was their release, and they had a masquerade ball for the event. This release had a fairy tale theme to it. I've never participated in any of the release parties for any company, but I LOVE SSD, and decided to give it a try. It was so much fun, they had 4 different challenges, I only got 1 done, but oh well. This is it!!! The challenge was to use lots and lots of bling! Perfect challenge for me! Of course the image is from SSD, the sentiment was made on the computer. CS is Bazzill Bling, and DP is DCWV Once Upon a Time Stack. Thanks for looking, have a wonderful day. And if you like fairy tale's make sure you check out SSD. Also don't forget about Work It Wednesday for The Character Cafe'. Their are prizes if you play along!
P.S. This card qualifies for the Digital Tuesday Challenge.

A Sassy Studio Fairy Tale

Good evening, hope all is well with you. Tonight I have a card made for the Sassy Studio Designs challenge. The challenge was to make a fairy tale card using any image from them. I chose to use the free image that she gave us. Isn't it beautiful?! I love this gorgeous mask. I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers. The CS is Bazzill Bling, and the DP is DCWV Once Upon A Time Stack. The ribbon is from the Dollar Store, and I added some pearls to the bottom. I colored the image with prisma pencils and baby oil, and added some stickles. The card also qualifies for Simon Says Challenge, which is distressing, and the Dare You To Digi Stamp Challenge. Woo Hoo!!! Four challenges in one card-how cool is that! So if you haven't visited any of these fun blogs, please do.

It's Squigglefly Day!

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is Squigglefly challenge day, and Rhonda has given us a sketch to play with. I have to say that sketches are my favorite. I used the image called "Beach Baby", and it can be found here. I absolutely love this image, it's one of my all time favorites. I finally tried coloring with my prisma pencils and baby oil. I have to tell you that I LOVE this coloring technique. I did try it once before but got frustrated and haven't tried it since. So now back to the card! All CS is bazzill, and dp is DCWV. I used the square scallop nestie to cut out the top squares. I'm not sure where the clear buttons are from, I got them in a secret sister thing. And it's finished off with blue fibers. So thanks for looking, have a great day, and don't forget to go to the Squigglefly blog to play along for a chance to win a prize!!

TCC Feature Friday 4

Good morning, hope all is well with you. First I must apologize for not having this up sooner, and for not posting anything all week. My back has been out, and it was everything I could do to get this project done. And I just couldn't sit here anymore. But I'm back and with my project. So, today is the 4th week of Feature Friday for TCC. It's of course also the fourth week for the Work it Wednesday over on TCC's blog. This week for WIW, Tesa gave us a tutorial on stitching. So, I figured I could do this, doesn't look that hard right!? Yeah, right!! As you can see mine looks nothing like hers, and of course it's not straight even though I used a ruler, but oh well I did try! I used the Flower Ziggy image, and made a notebook. I colored my image with copics, and tried something else new-outlining the image to make it look like it's shadowed. I like it, what do you think. I most definitely like it better than the stitching(lol). The CS is Bazzill, and the DP is MM. The ribbon is from Michael's. And the flowers are primas with jewels added in the middle. Oh, I did add stickles to her wings. So, now for the business. We've started having a guest DT on Friday's and this week is Verda, if you go to this blog you will be able to meet her and see her gorgeous card that she made. Of course please visit the other DT's blogs to see their fab creations this week. Also don't forget that if you participate in the WIW challenges, leave us a link on the blog and you could win a prize and be our next guest DT. If you upload to SCS please use TCCWIW4 in your upload so that we can find it. You have until Thursday the 28th at 12 pm EST to be eligible for the prize. If you don't have a blog you can email your submissions to tesabroman@yahoo.com. So have fun, I can't wait to see what you create.

The Character Cafe Release Day and a Blog Hop

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is the 2nd Blog Hop for TCC. So if you came here from TCC's DT page, then your are on the right track. Now from here you will go to Mary's blog. From there she will have a link to where you go next. Remember you have to go on the hop in order to collect the code. Everyone will have 1 piece of the code and you have to have them in order. The code will be good for 30% off. And don't forget that one person along the way will have a "freebie". Don't forget to leave a comment for all the wonderful work along the way. Now, onto my card. I'm using the new release called "Ty the Lemonade Guy". Isn't he such a boy! I love his little frog in the jar, totally reminds me of my son, Jesse. He' s always bringing something home to keep in a jar. I gotta tell you that this card was a lot of work for me. I don't usually do boy cards, and now I know why. I think I just need to go buy some boy paper, it would probably help alot! I'm sure my husband will love that-lol! Anyway, I colored him with my copics, and added some ink around the edges. The CS is bazzill, and DP is DCWV. I added the buttons which totally made the card, in my opinion.

Now, my piece of the code is the number "8", and don't forget you have to have them in order for them to work. There will be drawings for prizes also, but you do have to leave a comment on every blog along the way, and at the TCC blog as the last stop. So have fun, and get some great new images!

Cupcake Craft Challenge and Mojo Sketch

Good afternoon, hope all is well with you. I'm having a very relaxing day, ALL of my kids are gone to their cousins house to play all day!!! WOO HOO!!! I'm so lovin this! So, this card is for the Cupcake Craft Challenge and the Mojo Monday Challenge. I just received my first Magnolia stamp from a ss swap on SCS. I cannot tell you how excited I was to get this. At first I didn't like these stamps because of the whole no mouth thing. But they keep growing on me, and I finally decided I wanted one. Although, I did not ask for a stamp, just some images. But, my wonderful ss sent me a stamp-yay me!! I can't tell you the specific name, because I can't find one on the pkg. The red CS is bazzill, and the DP is DCWV fun in the sun glitter stack. I colored her with prisma pencils and blender pencil. I used a MS butterfly punch, with a flower on the bottom. The ribbon is from the dollar tree. I used scallop scissors for the edges. The challenge for the cupcake craft blog is blossoms and butterflies. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

YAY!! It's finally here-Sketch Girls #1

Good morning, hope all is well with you. YAY!!! I'm so excited! Today is the first day of the Sketch Girls Challenge Blog! So make sure you head over there to check it out. Like I said Today is the first day of the sketches, and there will be another one every 2 weeks. Ok, now my computer is being not very nice and won't let me highlight anything, so If you click on the picture of the sketch on my left side bar it will take you to the blog. I don't know what the heck is going on, but I'm getting frustrated already!!! So, onto my card. Annie did our first sketch(again go to her name on my sidebar). I decided to do a gatefold card. I used an image from Rachelle Anne Miller, and colored with prisma pencils and blender pencil. All CS is Bazzill Bling Line, and DP is MM. I used the square scallop nestie to mat the image. The ribbon is from my stash and either from Michael's or Wal-mart. I used prima's in the corner and the jewels are from Michael's. Make sure you check out the other girls creations, and show them some love. Have a great day!

Squigglefly Challenge #10

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is the 10th challenge over on the squigglefly blog!!! Rhonda was the hostess with the mostess this week and gave us the challenge of using 1oval, 1square, ribbon, and glitter. So much better!!!! For this weeks' challenge I used the image called "flowermice". Isn't it the sweetest! I colored with my copics, and cut around the image-there was too much white space for me. I used my nestabilites to cut the rectangle, and the ovals. CS is bazzill bling, and the green dp is DCWV, and the polka dot is MM. I cut the corners with my circle punch, and the ribbon is from Michael's. I added some stickles and voila' it's done! If you haven't been over to squigglefly lately, run, don't walk! They've added a ton of new images-all adorable! Have a wonderful day, and don't forget to go to the squigglefly blog to play along, their are prizes to be won!

Squigglefly Challenge #9

Good evening, hope all is well with you. This post is for the Squigglefly Challenge #9. Kim was in charge of the challenge this week, and let me tell you it is a doozy!!! She gave us the challenge of making a one layer card with only one embellishment(holy cow)! I don't know if I've ever made a one layer card, so this was definitely a challenge for me. I decided to use a sentiment which did make it a little bit easier. The sentiment is of course from Squigglefly, and called "bee happy". I just inserted it into microsoft office and from there could re size it. I colored with my copics and added some polka dots to the word "happy" with my gel pen. I added stickles to the wings and along the trail of the bee. I finished it off with some polka dot ribbon with knots on each end. The ribbon is from Michael's. So if you really like challenges I suggest you try this one. Thanks for looking, and have a wonderful evening!

The Character Cafe' Feature Friday Week 3

Good morning, hope all is well with you. WOW! I just realized that I haven't posted anything for a whole week. We got so busy with the holiday and family that it just got away from me. But today I have a card for you from The Character Cafe'. This image is called FairyBelle, isn't she adorable!!! The Cs is Bazzill bling line, and the dp is all from my stash(sorry)! I colored this little fairy with my copics, and addled a little stickles for accents! When you buy this image it comes in pdf format also, and that one has the extra wings on it that are slightly larger than the image. I used those behind the image and bent the actual wings up a bit. Hope that made sense, it's very late, and I'm tired(haha)! I popped her up on dimensional pop dots to make her look like she's floating through the air! I added some dew drops and pretty ribbon and voila', there she is! Don't forget that The Character Cafe' has Work It Wednesday, which is a tutorial done by the DT and also a challenge to go along with it. There are prizes, and of course it's lots of fun! Also make sure you check out the other DT members blogs for their projects for today!

TCC Feature Friday Week 2

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is the 2nd week of Feature Friday at The Character Cafe. I have used the Princess Ally image. She is the cutest! When I decided to use her, I immediately thought of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. So, this is my interpretation of it. All CS is Bazzill, and the CS is DCWV Fairy tale stack. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday. The flowers are from my LSS, and the ribbon is from Michael's. The sentiment is computer generated and cut out and matted with my nesties. I'm not sure where the little jewels are from, I found them in all of my stuff. I colored her with copics, and added the gold glitter with a spica pen. Make sure you check out the other DT's projects for today. And don't forget about the Work it Wednesday feature on the TCC blog. Thanks for stopping by today!

Farmer Anya

Good evening, hope all is well with you. I made this card for the Friday Sketchers challenge and The spotty Anya Challenge over on The Greeting Farm. I colored her with copics and cut her out and matted with my nesties. Cs is Bazzill, and Dp is DCWV. The flowers are prima and the bling in the center is from Michael's. Thanks for looking, hope you like it!

Squigglefly Blog Hop Day 2

Good morning, and welcome to the Squigglefly Blog Hop Day 2. If you've arrived her from Holly's blog then your on the right track. If you didn't then you need to go to Amanda's blog to start the hop. So, business first! If you haven't checked out Squigglefly lately, you need to get over there. They've released lots of new images. And they've started two new things. First, for the month of July they will donate 50% of sales out of the "animals" category to the ASPCA. Second, starting very soon they will be doing a rewards program. For every 15 dollars that you spend, you get to choose a free image. It can be any image you want, no restrictions! How cool is that? And of course since this is a blog hop, their are prizes. Squigglefly will give 3 images to one person that leaves a comment on all of the blogs today. (they did the same thing yesterday).

Ok, now that all of that is said, onto the card! Today's card uses the image "A surprise from Sara". I immediately fell in love with this image for 3 reasons. First she has my name, even spelled the same way. Second, she looks just like strawberry shortcake-to me. Third, she reminds me of my youngest daughter, Sabrina. I colored her with prisma pencils and blended with the prisma blender. I added some diamond glaze to the sun and clouds. The CS is Bazzill, and all dp is DCWV stack 5. The ribbon and bling is from Michael's. I did add a little bit of stickles here and there. I used the sketch from card patterns. So, hope you like it and thanks for hopping along with us. Now, you need to go to Shelly's blog for more fun!!!

Sassy Studio Designs Card

Good evening, hope all is well with you. Tonight I have a card that I made using a digi image from Sassy Studio Designs. The image is called "Cell Phone Cindy". Isn't she cute? It so reminds me of my girls, although they are mostly texting, but you get the idea. I colored her with prisma pencils, and add some stickles here and there. I used a sketch from Our Creative Corner. The CS is Bazill bling line, and the dp is unknown. It was already cut up and the name gone. On the pink panel I used a Studio G stamp and stamped it in CTMH denim blue and in versamark. The "Call Me" sentiment is from Studio G as well. The ribbon is from the Dollar Tree. I added a few buttons, and voila' it's done. Thanks for looking, hope you like it. Please don't forget that tomorrow is the first ever Work It Wednesday on TCC's blog. This will be a weekly challenge with a prize given away. Also tomorrow they are offering a "freebie" for you to play with, so have fun, and create fun. Oh, one more thing! Squigglefly is having their blog hop starting tomorrow with 1/2 of the DT, and the other 1/2 on Thursday. They also will be giving prizes. They've started something new too. For the month of July they will be donating 50% of sales to the ASPCA. This applies to images found in the animals category. Also they are starting a rewards program, for every 15 dollars that you spend, you get 1 free image! How cool is that! So make sure you visit both of these blogs and have fun.

Squigglefly Challenge #8-An ATC

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today is challenge #8 over on the Squigglefly Blog. Rhonda's challenge for us today is to make an ATC. I just started making these little things, and I have to tell you-I'm hooked. They are so much fun. They're a little harder for me, because you have such a small space to work with. But, lots of fun. And they are perfect for digi images, because you can re size the images to anything you want. I used the "Pixie" image for this one, isn't she adorable! I cut my CS down to the 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 size and went from there. I can't tell you where the CS is from because it got sent to me from a secret sister. The burgandy and pink are bazill, and the white is GP. I used my only corner punch(really need more of those) for the corners, and then wrapped wire with a few beads on it around the whole thing. So, make sure you check out squigglefly for adorable images. They've just added a whole bunch of new one's too. Also don't forget about the squigglefly blog hop on July 1st and 2nd.

Cupcake Craft Challenge #45

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today I have a card that I made for the Cupcake Craft Challenge. I also have been able to participate in these challenges in awhile. For this card I used a stamp set that my mom sent to me for my birthday. It's from Our Craft Lounge and it's called "Bubbles". I LOVE turtles, which I'm sure most of you know by now, so this set was perfect for me. I LOVE it! I finally got to use it, and this is what I came up with. I colored everything with my Koh-I-Noor pencils and blended it with the prisma blender pencil. The CS is Bazill, and the DP is from Miss Elizabeth, which you get at the dollar tree. I added some Diamond Glaze to look like bubbles(i think) with a glitter gel pen around them. The ribbon is from my stash, and i added the dew drops to the side. I also added a piece of the DP inside and stamped the saying"you're a star" on a star I cut out with my nesties. Hope you like it, thanks for looking. Don't forget about the Squigglefly blog hop on July 1st, and 2nd. Also, don't forget about the first "Work it Wednesday" from The Character Cafe, which is also on the 1st. They will be having a "freebie" for you also. Have a wonderful day!

House Mouse Challenge #43

Good morning, hope all is well with you. I've finally done another House Mouse Challenge. It seems like forever since I've done one. This week they had a sketch, and I love to do sketch challenges. And since I actually got to do this one, I went all out and made a card and a note book. WOO HOO!!! The card is made using the "Pop-ular Fun" stamp. I colored it with my prisma pencils and blender pencil. I cut the image out with my nesties, matted on green Bazill paper that I ran through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I sanded it a little bit to make it look distressed. The CS is Bazill, and the DP is DCWV. Both circles were cut out with my nesties and ran through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder. The ribbon is from my stash, and I added some dew drops on the top and bottom of the circles. The note book uses the same DP, but the CS is from Michael's. The stamp for this one is "Balloon Journey". I also used my nesties to cut these out. I added my own polka dots to the circle and then went over them with stickles. I went around the green part with my glitter gel pen. The ribbon is again from my stash, and I also added dew drops to this one. Thanks for looking and don't forget about The Squigglefly blog hop starting July 1st, and then also the 2nd. And, don't forget about The Character Cafe's Work it Wednesday starting July 1st. Have a wonderful day!
