OMG did you see the new release image over at  The east wind ?!?  It's totally STUNNING! I'm in LOVE :)  And that means of course that I HAD to color her up. I had the perfect project for her because I still had to make some calendar pages for my grandma.  This became one of them. I was really happy because I used a bunch of scraps from my pile.  The image was colored with my copics and I used a lot of stickles on the butterflies for the added shine! I'm entering this calendar page in the following challenges: Artistic inspirations challenges  - anything goes Fulldscrap  - Flowers Crafty boots challenges  - Things with wings - all those butterflies Crafting-with-friends  - anything goes That's it for me for today!  Have a great Tuesday!

Hello!  It's been awhile since I last posted directly on the Karleigh Sue blog .  Usually it's done in a group blog post.  Since there isn't going to be a new release this month we got (the dt) to play with other images. Oldies but goodies! And that meant for me that I could do some more of my calendar pages for my grandmother.  I still had a few months to fill up and I really want this gift to be completed in time.  Feeling like Christmas is creeping up on me without me being ready.  YIKES. Anyway that gave me the opportunity to play yet again with the great digi  Adriana's Owl .  I think she was perfect for the month of November. Isn't she precious?!?  I think she is perfect for an handmade gift. I got the little leaves at Michael's in the dollar bin back 3 years ago?  I had purchased 2 bags... and well I don't use a lot per year so still have some left over.  The design paper was from my stash in my cut out pile.  The brown cardstock was purchas

Hey it's already November... that means lots of birthdays in my case!  And some in October as well :)  That includes my son's girlfriend!  She loves stuff that is a bit darker so I figured she would love something with an Oddball image and this was the perfect make for the new FB challenge! I used the image 318  and it's only 2$$$$  wow what a deal.  To top it off if you want you can get an extra 10% off by using the code DTVICKY10. The paper was part of my Halloween stash.  I found the sentiment online.  The image was colored with my copics.  And then I fussy cut her out and put her on a black cardboard.  I used some washi tape that my GREAT friend Erin gave me.

It's Alzheimer's Awareness month and with this theme in mind Unky made the most wonderful Freebie for you all!  That is of course if you are registered for the newsletter over at the blog . I have to admit that Christmas is really one of my favorite time of the year (that and Halloween).  And I still remember looking at myself as a little kid through the little glass ornaments.  Before we all had plastic ones.  I would stare at the tree for hours.... good memories! The image was colored with my copics and then I used some gell roll pen on top of some of the ornaments as well as her hat.  I used a sentiment from Create with tlc.  I added some stickers and that was it.  The papers were freebies with magazines.
