Unique...Just Like You - Guest Designer post

Hi Everyone!

I'm so excited!  I was asked to be a Guest Designer at Inkspirational Challenges! Whoop whoop!  I don't get to enter many challenges because I'm so busy with 613 Avenue Create and just life in general!  But when I do get a little time I do like to check out their wonderful challenges!  

The theme of the Inkspirational Challenge for the next 2 weeks is 

Anything Goes with SILVER.  

I created the sentiment in Word.  The intricate die is by Spellbinders and the snowflake die is from My Favorite Things.  I used double stick tape to adhere the beads and glitter to the die.  The seed beads at the bottom of the Maya Road stick pin are attached with some Ranger's Multi Medium.

I hope you stop by the Inkspirational Challenge to see what the very talented Design Team have created for this challenge.  And maybe you'll find some time to join us!

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Kathi

Black and my "favorite" color

I'm back again!  I made two projects this week for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create.  The challenge is Anything Goes with an optional twist to use BLACK and your favorite color.  I had someone ask me what my favorite color was and I had to think about it for a minute.  My reply was "Well, I'm an artist so I don't have a favorite, they're all my favorite!"  But I guess if I were forced to choose just one it would have to be teal  :)   So here is my teal and black Santa!  Image by Bugaboo Stamps.

*ok first here's my little story.  It's been a long month at work, very stressed, busy with holidays, etc.  So I took a vacation day and locked myself in my craft room, music blasting just getting lost in the process.  Well...apparently I was so "lost" this is what I did...see the problem??  LOL!  My response, "Seriously!??  Oh !&*@$#%" and to top it off I used hot glue which I rarely use but I had the glue gun out.  Ugh...

Ok here's the finished project

  I have to admit I just love how the stickpin came out on this! 

Hugs,

Sailor Girl

Hi Everyone!
This is my 1st post as a Through The Craftroom Door (TTCRD)  DT member!  The challenges at TTCRD are weekly and always Anything Goes.   Today I have a card using the Rick St. Dennis image "Gigi" although I call her Sailor Girl  :)  Anyone who knows my work knows that I love to crop the images I work with.  This is no exception! 

 Nothing like a close up to accentuate your little boo-boo's!  Still learning and getting used to the Copics  :)  I used a Vintage Button stick pin from Maya Road instead of the balloon.  I used a pop dot under the heart but it's hard to see because I colored the edges of the dot red.  Then I used Glossy Accents to attach a vintage anchor button.

I used a new Cuttlebug folder called Cross My Heart then lightly sanded it, also distressed the heart and Hopmeadow Circle die by Memory Box.

I hope you'll stop by to see the rest of the DT's projects.  I really am honored to design with a group of very talented and sweet ladies!  Through The Craftroom Door Anything Goes Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!  

Hugs,

Kathi
