Queen of my Craftroom Challenge

Hi Everyone,
I forgot to auto post my post.  Grr. I am not feeling well, darn winter has caught up to me and I have a horrible sore throat and ear ache..Yuck.  I did manage to get my project done though.  I am excited to be on Michelle's DT, and love doing challenges.  So the Challenge at Queen of my Craftroom is a treat container, and here it is.




I love how this turned out. I took a 6x6 piece of cardstock and scored at 2 and 4 turned and scored at 2 and 4.  Then I scored diagonally in the top outer 2 squares and 2 lower outer squares, if that makes sense, then folded it up. Punched holes for the ribbon and tied it closed. The heart paper was white, I embossed it with a texture plate and inked it pink.  I used K Andrew Designs Stamps It's Valentines.

Mouse Love

Hello Followers :)

Today I have an adorable little card for you.  The challenge at MelJen's Designs is to use hearts, and at Paper Playtime, it was an anything goes challenge. So I decided to combine them together to make my card.

The base of my card is pink shimmery cardstock. It was the Gemstone line and then the pink heart paper behind the image is from Archivers. The swirl paper was in a mat pack I got a few years ago.  I colored the image with colored pencils and then used the odorless mineral spirits to blend it.  I added liquid pearls to the swirls for some dimension.  The ribbon is stuff my mom made for me.  If you want some I have lots.  Just send me a message and we can work out a trade :)  I did some dashing with gel pens, and added some liquid pearls.  The image is from MelJen's Designs.  The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs.

Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge FantasyLand

Good Afternoon Ladies or Morning or Evening :) depending on where you are.

Today I am bring you a new Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge.  We were asked to create something for Fantasy Land.  It was so fun. I have so many ideas running through my head when we got this assignment.

Here is my take on it.  This was my very first step card :)  Looking back I should have made my castle a little higher up, but I like how it turned out. The princess, castle and dragon are from Paper Doll Dress-up. The face is from Peachy Keen. The wonderful Susan from Cricut and Grasshopper let me use her stamps. You should check out her blog she just had it redone and it looks adorable.

FREE MINI HEART set with VALENTINE bundle or $25.00 purchase - Click Image to CloseThe sentiment is from K Andrew Designs and it was her free set if you bought her Valentine's sets or spent $25. I absolutely love it.  I stamped the key and embossed it in gold, and cut it out and attached it to the dragon.  It stamped the sentiment and punched it out in heart from.  The papers are from Archiver's and then I just did a little dashing on the card.  I hope you enjoyed the card and come join us in the Simply Sunday Challenge.

Challenge project

Hi!
I have been trying to get back to doing challenges, sometimes my head is spinning and I just trying to get stuff done around the house and we have to make a trip to see my Father-in-law who is having surgery, so it is crazy. See my long crazy sentence...lol 

Anyway, at Erica's Craftroom Challenge  we were giving a color combo and a sketch.




So I came up with this....
The image is super adorable! It came from Cheri at DJ's Sundries she is my DT sister at Getting Cricky and she sent them to me. I love them. There are a few other cute Precious Moments ones and I will definitely be making more things with them.  I colored it with colored pencils and then blended. I used liquid pearls in pink and white around the edges of the papers.  The eye-lets are from Eye-lets Etc, if you haven't checked out their eye-lets you should. I love how easy they set.

Have a great day :)
