My FIRST Design Team Project!!!

Hello All!

Well I got my Designing Kit in the mail just the other day and couldn't wait to start creating! Jennifer sent us some BEAUTIFUL Christmas papers and ribbon to use!

My project is the "Shadow Box" Card using the beautiful paper "Snowfall Stripes" and "Tanzanite" cardstock. As you can tell by the pictures, the snowfall paper has actual glitter embellished into it and it has the coolest texture, very ridgid and 3D like. That is why I used it to do the Shadow Box card.

The snowman is from a retired SU Christmas set and of course I used liquid applique to make the snowflakes and snow "POP". Now I am off to design some more with my beautiful papers from "A Page At A Time" web store! Cheers!

PINK!

Good Evening Ladies! Well tonight I worked on 2 cards and they both had quite the PINK theme! One was a birthday card and the other a Baby Girl card! They were fun to make, but I must admit I am all pinked out!!!! LOL!

To make the cloud "puffy" I used Liquid Applique!!! LOVE THE STUFF! It goes on like a glue and then when you put a heat gun to it, BAM, poof city! Fun fun fun! Whenever I color a image, I am using Stampin' Up! Markers or watercolor pencils. I have not gotten into the Copic Rage just yet...got to save those pennies!

Unfortunately I did not make as many cards I wanted to, but I am hoping to make more tomorrow night and Tuesday forsure!!! Also I am expecting my FIRST designer kit in the mail any day (hopefully tomorrow), so I will be playing with that soon too! Yipppeeee! Good Night!

Kick up your heels.....tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!

Hello Hello!

I have had a very hard stressful week this week, so I am VERY HAPPY tomorrow is FINALLY Friday, Yippppeeee!

I made this Paper-pieced Bella card for a friend's birthday whose I thought was born on the 20th of Oct but then the same person who told me THAT date, told me just the other day it was another date, and I had missed her birthday by over 2 weeks!!!! Grrrrrr and a BIG LAUGH!!! I will still give it to her when I see her! I cased this card and fell in love with it when I saw it! I think I found it on SCS, it was for a turning 40 card!!! I have to say this though, I just LOVE paper piecing Bellas, soooooo much fun!!!!

Happy Friday everyone and have a fabulous weekend! Cheers!

Cheers!

Happy Fall Y'All!

Well I finally finished my card for the Bellaholic's November Homepage Contest!!! Not really what I had invisioned but it will have to do! I feel the left top corner is quite bare, but in a way I didn't want to take away from the GORGEOUS fall paper that I was using!! You should see it in real life!!! Unbelievable!!! The paper is BO BUNNY and is called "Beautiful Life Leaf". Also you can't see them that well, but I used some of the "Bella Dots Glitter Light Cocoa" dots, very pretty, blingy dot stones!

Enjoy!

Off I go to make another Bella card, a birthday card...

I just LOVE Long Weekends....

Hello Hello! I hope all you Canadian folk had a very Happy Thanksgiving!!! I sure did and I am so happy that I had time to create and make a few cards!!!! I have a few birthdays coming up, so here is what I did so far! I also re-organized ALL my stamp/scrapbooking supplies, now does that ever feel good!!!!

Ok, my first card to show is this fairy card I made for a cousin of mine. I had the fairy pre-stamped from a friend, so I just colored her in tonight and cut her out, did some masking with the moon and the flowers, and made the stars out of silver stickles and decorated her wings with stickles also! I am quite happy how it turned out. Of course again, it is WAY prettier in real life but ah well....I'm working on it, on how to make my photos look as they do in real life!!!!

My second card is a Bella card! In real life the cardstock that I used is our Stampin' Up! GORGEOUS color "Taken with Teal", I so wish you could see how it truly looks BRIGHT & VIBRANT. I put stickles again on her pom pom on hat and her cupcake and did crystal lacquer on her balloons! Simple card but fun to make!

My third card, is a birthday card for an uncle. I have a hard time making masculine cards, since truly I am a girly girl when decorating and such, but I do like the owl stamp and my color choice!

Have a good short week everyone! I should hopefully post my bella card tomorrow night, that I am going to submit to the "Bellaholics Annoym. " November Homepage Contest! Hopefully I will get more than one vote than like last time! LOL!! I did have some awesome competition though!!! I am so glad I joined that group, so much fun!!!! Cheers!

WISH ME LUCK!!!!

I am so excited! I have an opportunity to apply to becoming a team member on a DESIGN TEAM!!! Yipppee! I would be a design team member for the website "Page at a Time". Here are three cards that I will be submitting for samples of my work. I just made the Christmas Bella last night and LOVE how it turned out!!! Of course the picture doesn't even do it justice in real life, but ah well! I put red stickles on Bella's dress, crystal lacquer on her boots, and used liquid applique for her hat and boot trim! So much fun to make!!! Of course they are put on with pop-dots to stand out and the 2 top red buttons are just dallops of red stickles!!! Wish me luck Everyone!!! Cheers!

Busy Bee, that is me!!!!
