Behold, I Make All Things New -- for DS4J

It's Wednesday, and time for a new challenge at DigiStamps4Joy.  This time, our theme is "new" -- new house, new baby, new job -- you get the idea.  

Here's the direction I took it:

I used the DigiStamps4Joy digi Flower Corner and colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment was computer generated. I used a Spellbinder die to cut it out.  The butterfly is a Cheery Lynn die. The papers are by Prima Marketing.  The card base, glitter trim and bling is from Close To My Heart.  I used a We R Memory Keepers scallop Corner Chomper on some of the sides.  

This challenge will run for 2 weeks.  See what "new" theme you can create, and enter it in our challenge.  I'd love to see it!

The Light of Christmas -- for Inspiration Destination

It's Wednesday, and time for a new challenge at Inspiration Destination Challenge Blog (IDCB).  As always, it's anything goes.  One of our sponsors this week is Crafty Sentiments.  I had fun with this one!

This Crafty Sentiments Designs digi is called Harriet with Lantern. I colored her with Copic markers.  The sentiment was computer generated.  I used a Spellbinders die to cut the image out.  The designer papers are from Close To My Heart. They are from the Yuletide Carol paper pack.  The glitter trim and glitter domes are also from CTMH. I used a We R Memory Keepers scallop Corner Chomper on several of the corners.

I hope you join us this week at IDCB.  Link up anything!

Fa La La La La -- for Amy Doodle's Stamp Company

It's Tuesday, and the day I'm lucky enough to be able to post for Amy Doodle's Stamp Co.  I love the fun images that Amy gives us to create with.  Today is no exception!  Meet Ornament Elf: 

She's helping me decorate a gift bag.  I'm on a quest to make 6 of them for a staff party coming up very soon. I colored Ornament Elf with Copic markers, then mounted her on several shades of card stock that matched her outfit.  I used Cheery Lynn Snow Flower dies for the snowflakes, and a Sweet Cuts fancy deer die.  The ribbons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. 
Here's a close up of this adorable image:

A Krafty Christmas -- for Timeless Twine

It's Monday, and the day I have the pleasure of posting on the Timeless Twine blog.  We are featuring Kraft and twine early in December.  I had a great time with this theme as I LOVE all this Kraft!

I found this file in the Silhouette Design Store.  It's a Lori Whitlock file, found HERE.

After I got my milk cartons and holder made, using my Silhouette Cameo, I trimmed them with lots of different Timeless Twine colors.

I used:

The Kraft paper is from Close To My Heart.  The designer papers are from Echo Park -- Reflections Christmas.

I'm pleased to announce that I will be part of the 2015 Bella Creationz/Timeless Twine Creative Crew.  I can't wait!

Make sure to visit the Timeless Twine blog each day for lots of Kraft-y inspiration!

Let It Snow! for Eureka Stamps

It's Monday, and time for a new challenge at Eureka Stamps. Our theme this week is "Let It Snow". 

Here's what I created for the challenge:

I made this gift bag using the Eureka Stamps digi called Snowman Circle (digi23402).

I colored the digi with Copic markers, then used my Lifestyle Crafts circle dies to cut out several circles, then mounted them on this gift bag.  Done!

Join us this week for our "Let it snow" challenge at Eureka Stamps.  Let's just hope it doesn't snow too much!

Get Ready for Gift Bags!

I'm posting today for Not Just Cards Challenge Blog.  I had the privilege of working with a StampArt Design by Kathryne image. 

 Here's what I created:

This adorable image by StampArt Design by Kathryne is called Alannah and Snowball.

I colored the image with Copic markers, then used a set of Lifestyle Crafts circle dies to cut out the circular shapes. I mounted the image and red background paper on a white gift bag.  I used a Cheery Lynn Snowflower die set for the snowflakes.  The ribbons on the handle are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I plan on making 6 gift bags, all this same size, for a party for my staff.  You'll be seeing more of these on my blog.  Be ready!
