Baby Girl Giraffe

Well here I am warm and cozy in my own house again!  The Blizzard of 2013 has delayed my DT project long enough!  This week at 613 Avenue Create I have created my 1st sketch for you!  I only have Microsoft Office but I think it came out pretty good.  

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps and I've used the Giraffe Heart 2 image.   Isn't she the cutest!


Details:  Rounded Square dies by Lifestyle Crafts, Floral Doily by Spellbinders, Charming Oval and sentiment by Verve, colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils, Cotton Candy Stickles, CANDI dots, paper from stash.

Well thanks again for joining me and hope everyone is safe and warm!!
Hugs,
Kathi

There's No One Like You

Hi All!  
Geesh being sick and busy is not a good combo!  Usually by this time of the year I have tons of Valentine's completed!  Oh well...guess I'll just have to eat the candy I don't have time to package and decorate!  Mmmm...nom nom...LOL...that's the sound of a true chocoholic!  :)  

Well I did get this one completed and mailed to my daughter in college.  She just loves those Andes candies.  When we would go out to eat at The Olive Garden they would bring everyone at the table a candy with the bill...well she usually ate them all!  And want to ask for more!  LOL!  Hmm wonder where she gets that from??  :)  

The paper is old from my stash, black CANDI dots, sentiment by MFT, ladybug stamp is from a square peg set and don't remember who made it (sorry) colored with Copic RV29 and Stickles.

More Valentine's to come!  Thanks for stopping by!  Kathi

Color Challenge at JDE!

Hi Everyone!  Back to reality of a full work week, at least for me anyway!  Hopefully you'll be able to join us this week at Jackson's Digital Expressions for our Color Challenge using RED,WHITE & BLACK. 
Personally, I love this color combo and they're my husband's favorite colors sooo it was the perfect opportunity to create an anniversary card for this challenge. 

I was playing around in PhotoScape (a free photo editing program) and I set the image as "reverse black and white".  I just love how it looks!  I used the My Man II image and cropped it from the waist up.

 inside sentiment by Verve Stamps

Additional supplies:  Dies: Spellbinders and MFT, license plate letters by MFT, My Mind's Eye striped paper, red/white papers from stash and black CANDI dots.

I hope you'll join us at JACKSON'S DIGITAL EXPRESSIONS this week!  Thanks for stopping by!

I don't have an attitude problem...

I have a personality you can't handle!!  LOL!!  I LOVE this sentiment!  And it was perfect for a birthday card for a friend at work.  This goes along with the color challenge of Red, Black & White at Jackson's Digital Expressions.  I used the Friends Wine 2  image and, if you read my blog then you'll know, I cropped Ruby's head from the main image.  I can never use anything the way you're supposed to!  LOL!  The sentiment came with the Ruby Tidbits - attitude digi but I had to retype it so it fit on my card. 

So here is my easel card and a pic of the main image that I cropped.

Details:  Spellbinder's circle/scalloped circle, corner rounder, image colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, Icicle Stickles on earrings/shirt, Glossy Accents on lips/glasses/wine glass, papers My Mind's Eye/stash and black CANDI dots.

Have a great week everyone!

Anything Goes Challenge at JDE!

Hi all!

Hope everyone here in the US is safe from Hurricane Sandy!  It's been pretty rough here in Rhode Island!  Thankfully I still have power!!  Whew!  You know crafting by candlelight isn't easy!  LOL!

So this week at Jackson's Digital Expressions it's the Inks and Such team that's hosting the challenge.  The theme is Anything Goes and our sponsor this week is DigiStamps4Joy.  My gift bag uses the Front Door Christmas Tree image from DigiStamps4Joy.  I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils/Gamsol then I stippled over the entire image with Tea Dye Distress Ink.  I cut the image and the scalloped circle with Spellbinders dies and matted on My Mind's Eye papers.  I stippled all of the papers, the twine and even the corner dots which are called CANDI.  Propped the image and CANDI dots on dimensionals.

This picture really doesn't do this project justice!  The colors are much richer in person.

Here is the image before I cut it out.

So come join us this week at JDE for our Anything Goes Challenge!  Thanks for stopping by!
