Penguin ~ Peace, Love, Snow

I'm here today with my Spotlight project for Kitty Bee Designs. 
I chose to work with this cute winter penguin.  He was colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  Of course I added Stickles!  I used Spellbinder oval and oval scalloped dies, the tag is from MFT, mini heart by Lawn Fawn and the little cloud is an Impression Obsession die.   The sentiment is also from MFT.  The heart embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.

Come join us at Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenges.  You still have 1 week to enter.
Thanks for stopping by!

Some More Halloween!

I have another project to share with you today.  Some sweet treats for my daughter.  I just love the Pure Innocence stamp line by MFT Stamps!  They always remind me of my daughter when she was little.

I wrapped some Hershey nuggets in some digital papers by Decosse's Dynamite Doodles and used an alphabet die set by MFT for the BOO.The ghosts are a die by Impression Obsession.  She was colored with Copics and fussy cut with a paper pieced dress.

I may be back with one more post today!  
Hugs,

I've used the Dancing in the Rain Duck

I had this perfect sentiment by Verve Stamps.  My stars for the optional twist are embossed on the yellow cardstock and inked slightly with black ink.  Dies are from MFT and Impression Obsession.  Colored with Copics and chalks, paper pieced umbrella and boots.  Glossy accents were added to the raindrops and puddle.

Hi Everyone!

I'm here today to share my first DT Spotlight for Kitty Bee Designs!  I just love the images I think they are just too cute!  I chose an image from the Cows 1 set.  I printed the image 3" tall.  I love this saying, for some reason it just makes me chuckle  :)   It was printed on the computer.

This cutie was colored with Copics then fussy cut and popped up with foam on the sponged cloud background.  I used an Avery Elle stitched edge die on the rectangle and a I believe the grass die is by Impression Obsession.  I also ran the chisel tip of my Copic R37 around the edges of the words.  The red vintage seam binding was bought at a yard sale, I'm always on the look out for that!  

So come join the current challenge - #49 Masculine Cards at the Aloha Friday Challenges!  You still have 1 week to join.

Thanks for stopping by!

Subway art for my lovebug :)

 I try to have someone in mind when I create my DT projects and it usually ends up being my daughter Shianne.  So...this weeks Anything Goes challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the optional twist to use Subway Art.  I really like subway art, it's fun.  I found a free program that let's you create your own called Wordle which is what I used on my project.  Bugaboo Stamps is one of our sponsors this week and I used the image called Bugaboo Brat Bugs.  

Dies by MFT, Impression Obsession, Papertrey Ink.  The image was masked and the clouds were sprayed with Perfect Pearls. I did a little doodling along the edges. Black eyelets and a wire hanger were added at the top.

colored with Copics/Prismacolor pencils, 

Glossy Accents on the Ladybugs and heart

I added the mini hearts with a stamp

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,
