Owl love

Hi again!  This is my second post today  :)  My brother-in-law asked me to make a card for his girlfriend, who loves owls, and this is what I came up with.

The owl SVG is called Winter Owl from Miss Kate's Cuttables.  I used my MTC software and Cricut.  I used scraps of CS, Stickles on the hat, a love charm and seed beads.

Hugs,

Christmas Owls

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday, whichever one you celebrate  :)    I am playing catch up...as usual!  I only made 2 whole Christmas cards this year and I'll be posting them separately today.  I feel terrible because I can't remember who made this adorable image!  If anyone knows please let me know!  Thank you to Marilyn of  One Stamping Fool
for letting me know that the stamped imaged is from Art Impressions called Five Whoots.  I had received the image in a swap and couldn't remember who made it.

I LOVE these colors!!

inside sentiment:

Thanks for stopping by!

Puppy Love

Happy Holidays Everyone!

The holidays are in full swing!  I know everyone is busy but if you do happen to make a little something with paper why not stop by our Anything Goes Challenge at  
613 Avenue Create!  Our optional twist this week is to create some type of  gift packaging.  It does not have to be Christmas themed, there are so many holidays that you might need a little gift package for next year.   

We have two sponsors this week:

Bugaboo Stamps

and

Oak Pond Creations

    

I chose the image Girl Puppy Love from Bugaboo Stamps.  I plan on putting a small hand sanitizer, chapstick and candies in the cup  :) 

 I colored the image with Copics then went in with a brown Prismacolor pencil and added the texture to the fur.  I think it came out ok, definitely something to practice  ;)

Stop by 613 Avenue Create to see what our wonderfully talented DT Ladies have come up with this week!  Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to stop by!

Hugs,

Thanks for stopping by!

 Supplies:

dies - MFT, QuicKutz, Memory Box

sentiment - MFT

coloring - Copics

technique - paper piecing

misc - vintage seam binding

Hi all!  Just a quick post to let you know about our challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  We're Anything Goes but this weeks optional twist is to use a sentiment.  We have 3 great sponsors this week!

THE PAPER SHELTER

SCRAPPER'S DELIGHTS

FITZTOWN

I've used an image from Scrapper's Delights called Pixie Corner.  And I've used a technique called spotlighting.  I love the Tim Holtz plain crinkle ribbon!  I used the same Copic marker on the ribbon to match the wings!  I hope you like it!

You Rock!

Hi everyone!

I know my posts have been few and far between  :(    It's not because I haven't been crafting because I have!  I told people at work they have to stop leaving and having birthdays!  I can't keep up!  LOL!  Between that, running 613 Avenue Create by myself, work and family...I'm going bonkers!!!  Whew...well speaking of 613 Avenue Create our challenge this week is Anything Goes and the optional theme is Party Time!  Whatever you may be celebrating works for us!  Come link up your projects HERE!  You could win prizes from our sponsors this week:

I chose to use the Guitar digi from Oak Pond Creations.  For the guitar I water colored the paper and put sea salt on it.  Love that technique but I didn't get my usual results because the humidity was 97% that day!  Ugh can say gross?  It sat in front of the fan for 2 hours and still didn't dry!  I had to dry it with the hair dryer.  Anyway, it still came out ok.  I fussy cut layered it and added some enamel dots for the knobs.  I popped it up on the base which was embossed with a Darice flames folder and sanded.  The sentiment is by Verve.

Hope you like it!  Come see out what our talented DT ladies have come up with this week!
Hugs,
Kathi   :)
