This week at  Crafting when we can  our challenge is to use the colors of a Flag!  And our wonderful sponsor for this week is Sassy Studio!!!!! For my card I decided to do a card with Canada's color since I'm a Canadian.  But because I wanted it for a Christmas card I used the wonderful digi from Sassy Studio called Little Honey's Russia. For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - Nordic Holiday.  I cut out the digi with Label 4 and the paper underneath with my grand label 4.  I used my regular classic circle for the circle with the sentiment and Scallop circle for the paper underneath.  I decided to add a little stack of buttons to the sentiment.  So used a white button and a red on top with a little ribbon through it.  I added a ribbon and a charm to the bottom of the card. For the image I colored it with my copics and added some stickles to the hat and the little area for her hands. The sentiment comes from  Create with TLC  and is part of a wonderful s

This week at Gingerloft challenge , our challenge is about not coloring your image.... YUP no color!  That can be an easy task... but you have to use the proper image for this! For this card I fell in love with Cello 3!  I thought it was just the most wondeful image for this type of challenge.  So yes I didn't use color on my image but I really went bright for the rest!   It thought it was the perfect contrast. For this card I used some paper from Basic Grey - Konnichiwa.  I cut the digi using my rectangle fleur de lis, I used the square fleur de lis for the paper under the sentiment.  I also used rose creation also by Spellbinders.  The flourish under the flowers is from Dee's flourish #2 and I used the large flourish by Lalaland crafts.  The bling brads come from Eyelet outlets.  Here's a closer look at the wonderful digi. I thought this sentiment from Create with TLC  was just perfect with this musician.  Because to be talented you need to practice practice p

This week at  Dutch dare  our challenge is to use lace and ribbon!  And our wonderful sponsor is Di's Digi. For my card I decided to try to stay ahead with my Christmas cards... and to use a stamp that...gulp... had not yet been inked... yikes... I've gotten sooo hooked on digis that I have not played with my stamps in quite awhile.  This one is by Penny Black and it's called Mimi dear. For this card I used paper from Basic Grey - Nordic holiday.  I used as well some card stock from BBP.  I used a few dies (Layered poinsettia, Fleur de lis rectangle, scallop circle, classic circle all from Spellbinder.  I also used Dee's wreath builder for the leaves). The ribbon and lace are from my stash.  I don't  do a lot of cards with lace... so this was a challenge for me.  I have it and love the look of it but I don't  use it a lot... what can I say that's why they call it a challenge right?!? Here's the closer image of the stamped mimi.  I used my copi

Hello everyone, If you are looking for my Papelitos post... it's gone after I read the following blog  Ardilla's winning  I felt I could not represent a company that does this type of action. I had already crafted my card for next week... and will not be posting it here.  Should it be posted on Papelitos challenge, please know that I have asked for it not to be shown as I have resigned from my DT position. Thanks Vicky

I colored my digi with my copics and added glossy accent to the glasses. Here's a view of my flower. And the aw
