Something for myself :)

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been MIA but my partner at 613 Avenue Create has been on a medical leave for the last 2 months so I have been responsible for everything! So needless to say every spare minute I've had has gone to the challenge blog.  If you haven't visited us yet stop by and see what our talented ladies have come up with for our optional twist.  The challenge is Anything Goes  but the optional twist is to create something for yourself.  You know how it is you make cards and gifts for everyone and their brother but rarely anything for you! 

 I was actually able to finish my project this week, our sponsors are A Day for Daisies and Fitztown.   I chose the A Day for Daisies image Ladybug Hello because of course she reminds me of Shianne especially with the ladybugs!  I made a binder for all of my sponsor information for 613 Avenue Create Challenge #74.

Why don't you stop by and see what great projects the DT have made for themselves!

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathi

Fly Away...

Hi all!  Ready for this weeks Through The Craftroom Door DT project?  No...oh well I'm going to show you anyway!  :)  This week our sponsor is A Day For Daisies.  As usual I couldn't just leave the image alone.  I had gotten an alphabet set as a freebie a while back and I really liked the fairies on the letter Z so I enlarged and cropped them.  I only used one of them on this project.  I really like this alphabet it has some great images and is very pretty!

The sentiment is by Create With TLC and was a freebie as well.

I wish I could have kept her little antennas.  I colored with Copics, used a 

Uniball gold pen to add the dots.  I bought a new set of Twinkling H2O's at 

a sale for $3...score!  I've never used them and I think I definitely applied

a coat to the wings that was too thick.  Ahh a learning experience.

I curved her wings a little. 
 I colored the back of the digi black.

I spoke with Tammy, A Day For Daisies owner, because I couldn't find the alphabet on the website to provide a link for to follow but it is not currently available.  That could change you never know so you should check often.  She has many wonderful images to purchase as well.  I also asked if it was ok to crop the fairy away from the letter and she told me that she likes to see how people use the images in different ways.  I love when an owner is so accommodating and open to the creative process  :)  Enough babble from me!  LOL!  Thanks for stopping by!!

Kathi
