Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #17: Christmas Tree Bags

Hello crafty friends!  4 blog post day today, so make sure you visit all the sister blogs for some inspiration. 

This post is for MLCCB, where we celebrate our Christmas projects all year around.

A friend bought some earrings as Christmas gifts at a craft fair, then asked me to make some little Christmas bags to put them into.

Using a Christmas tree stamp from Stampin' Up, the image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  Some white paint with glitter mixed for the bottom as snow and some golden Stickles for the star.   A little ribbon on the bottom for something extra.

Using another Stampin' Up stamp, I just added small gem stones and some Stickles to the center of the stars..  A little sparkly ribbon was added to the top.

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #32: Play with Your Food

Hello crafty friends :o) The last month of the year is here and it's the busy holiday season.  Where did this year go .... way too fast.
Today is the 4 sister blogs posting day.  This is my post for MIUCB, a blog to try something new.  This month's twist is to use some veggies :o)

I decided to play with my spinach. 

I used a few different sizes and 2 different color of inks to play around with. The textures turned out really beautiful.  Some of the natural color was coming from the spinach itself.

Keeping the design simple with some die cut words, allows the spinach leaves patterns to really show what this challenge is all about.

Love to Craft Challenge Blog: #39 Boot Treats

Hello crafty friends!  Little late writing up my post for the sister blogs here.  This project is for Love to Craft Challenge Blog.... Anything Goes all year.

I'm having fun learning how to use my Cut N Scan.  My youngest son has a birthday coming up, (he was almost a Halloween baby), so cute Halloween projects are a must.

If you have a Cut N Scan, you most likely have a program to work with called Canvas Workspace.  There are some free projects to try and that's where I got these cute witches treat boots.

In the design, the boots had stars on the side, but I thought it was too much.  I went for the Converse signature with one star on the back :oP

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post.  If you have been following me for a few years now, you know I love the Killer Kitties line from Dr Digi.

Dr Digi: Woman Eat a Salad

Hello crafty friends!  I'm here today with my Dr Digi post. 

When I choose images, some times it's the image itself, or maybe some paper I have horded away for many years.  But when I saw this image from Dr Digi..... a sentiment stamp I bought many years ago came to my mind.  I knew what needed to be done.

Ballroom Brenda is just a fun image.  I thought about an Anniversary card, but I wife might get mad about the sentiment being used for the front .... unless she has a great sense of humor.  I'm sure a great occasion will come to use this beauty.   The image is colored with my Prismacolor pencils. 

The sentiment I used is from Unity and I only stamped the bottom portion of the stamp.

Love to Craft! Challenge Blog # 38: Mousing Around

Hello crafty friends!  Today is the day for 4 posts of the sister's blog.  I'm here for Love to Craft! Challenge Blog, where it's Anything Goes every month.  Show us what you have been creating.

It's been awhile since I shared a Kit and Clowder coloring of the month project.  Every month we learn new techniques and we get to vote for a extra bonus class of a different technique.  Even if you know how to coloring, it's good practice, to use techniques you might not use very often or to learn new ones.   I'm a little behind on getting some of the months finished, but I had to do this cute mouse image.  I haven't decided if I want to make a mix media project or a card, you might see it again as a finish project.  This is June's pencil coloring class, the image was colored with my Prismacolor pencils.

Thanks for looking and reading :o)
