Wooop wooop it's time for a new Fan page Challenge over at  Simply Betty  and this time around it's letting it fly with some GORGEOUS Fairies!!!!! Oh my soooo fun to color. Here are my 2 makes the 1st one is the great Mushroom Rio Fairy.  You can find those new release images to play in the challenge in the store here . For this little one the paper is from MME - Out of the blue.  I used my Ann's paper Art die to cut the image and the sentiment.  I added some bling from Queen and Co and the mushrooms are done using a great Cheery Lynn dies B365 Fairy Mushroom.  Here's a closer look at the image colored with my copics. And the 2nd gorgeous fairy that I did is Tulip Fairy Wendy For her I used Summer Breeze paper from 1st Edition (I have had that stuff FOREVER).  I cut the digi with my Label 39 die from Spellbinder.  The sentiment was done using Quickutz nesting frames.  The flower is my last of the Prima Engraver set :( So sad.... just loooove those but th

Tree - Recycled Christmas

Image
And here's my next entry so I now qualify to get my piece of fabulous paper from the awesome challenge  12 months of christmas . This time around I'm using another recycled image but the card that this came from gave me 2 images!!!  So it's pretty fun.  And I just love how sparkly this image was.  It's just gorgeous. I kept this card really really simple.  I just stamped the sentiment.  I used my Quickutz nesting ovals and added some pearls and ribbon from my stash.  The paper is also from Basic Grey - Nordic Holiday. I'm entering this card in the following challenges: 12 months of christmas  - I didn't do the twist just the regular Christmas card Crafty hazelnuts christmas challenge  - Anything Christmas Abc christmas challenge  - D is for Die cut Fab n funky challenges  - Let's see some snow That's it for this :)  YAY made it in time.... lol 

Bird recycling

I've been wanting to play in the challenge  12 months of Christmas link up  because you get really great paper just for participating!!!  But I'm still not making cards like I use too.... it takes me forever to make one... man... looking forward to being back! Anyway so I'm sharing some recycling that I made with some Christmas cards that I got this year.  The images were really awesome and it's something that I have seen Hazel do and I thought it was quite clever.  So I had put some aside last year and they stayed in a drawer.... pretty useless... so this year I made a few and hoping to make more! I used paper from Nordic Holiday by Basic Grey I'm almost finished that pack...  I used my Large squre, Label 11 Fleur de lis square.  I used some shimmer cardstock by DCWV.  I used a bunch of blings and that's it!  How easy right?!?  But I still think it turned out pretty good.  And it's a great way to reuse something and give it another life. I'm en

Doodle Pantry - River Glorious

Image
Hope you are having a good week.  I'm doing good so far.  The new medicine is increasing my energy level... and now well the people around me are scared that I will do too much.  It's true that I tend to spend my energy as soon as I get it lol but what can I say... I don't like just sitting around.  The unfortunate thing is that it decreases quite fast if I'm not careful and well I'm not good listening to my body ahead of time lol another lesson I need to learn I guess! Anyway enough about me, just thought it might be of interest to those that really do follow my blog regularly (BTW thank you so much for the comments they really do brighten up my day and make me feel loved).  As I'm writing this it's Wednesday and it's snowing YET again... man I can't take this snow anymore!!!!!!!  Hope by tomorrow when this post goes live that it's not. I needed a sympathy card and I don't know about you but I seem to have the hardest time making thos

Honey Bunny - Art by Mi Ran

Image
Hello everyone!  Hope you are all doing good.  I'm doing the showcase over at Art By Mi Ran  today and I decided to challenge myself to do ANOTHER CAS card with a Art by Mi Ran image... not easy but it's fun to try to get out of your comfort zone. I'm pretty happy with how  Honey Bunny  turned out.  My stepmom looooves bunny so I thought this would be a great little hello thinking of you type of card. Instead of focusing on the embellishments that I would use for this card I really spent all my time trying to color this cutie as well as I could and finding the right colors to showcase her.

Here's the card that I made for Erin!  I really hope that she loves it when I actually send it out to her... the good thing is that I did send her something and a card previously :)
