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:

and
    
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,

Pink or Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge at JDE!

Hi all!!
This week at Jacksons Digital Expressions our challenge is to create a project using the color pink or a project supporting Breast Cancer Awareness (pink, ribbon, sentiments, etc).  And members of the DT and supporters have decided to donate .25 per entry to go to BC treatment.  So far we are up to $1.25 per entry!  We are not asking for donations we are simply asking to create an item and enter in the challenge at JDE this week.  Please feel free to advertise this on your own blogs because the more entries = more $ donated!

So onto my projects for the week.  First is a card I created using the Awareness Walk digi and I cropped just one girl from the group.


I stippled the cloud background and used an oval Spellbinder for the image which I cut the outline of the girls back.  Colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  The stamp is from My Favorite Things - Pure Innocence - Have Hope set.  The dies are from Verve called Charming Ovals.


JDE is sponsored again this week by Bugaboo Stamps.  I used the Ribbon Bear Leaning digi to make a 
5 x 7 photo mat for my cousin who has been dealing with breast cancer herself.  She will be doing the relay for life in October.  I paper pieced the ribbon and the heart on his bum  :)   and I used chalks to color him in.

This week is also Stella Says Sketch #120
 
matching card - sentiment by Ginger's House

So everybody get your craft on this week and join us for our BCA Challenge and let's raise some money!!

I made myself something!

I don't know about you guys but I very rarely make myself anything.  Well the challenge at JDE is the color challenge to use red, blue and purple.  Also we are being sponsored this week by A Day for Daisies digi stamps.  I just love this image called Growing in a Snowglobe.  I decided to make something to hang on my office door, the finished size is 8 x 10.
The black and blue paper bases were cut from a banner file which was a free weekly set from Designs on Cloud 9.  The Scalloped border is a Spellbinders die with the Jolee's Hotfix crystals.  The ribbon is stiff and sparkly and was very easy to stamp on.  The letters are from a CTMH set called Chocolate Alphabet small.
I used Copics E00 and E000 for her skin and Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol for everything else, Stickles on her wings and center of flowers, I used PearlEx #673 interference violet inside the snowglobe (doesn't show in pictures though!)

Ok so here is my "goof".  I was almost done and below is the original border with the additional die used to cut the hearts and dots which was fine until I decided to to fill them with Stickles.  I was so not happy with the result and mad at myself for "ruining" and almost finished project.  I'm sure you've been there LOL!  Anyway I decided to cover it with another scalloped piece and added the Jolee's crystals.  I am much happier with the final result!  Whew!

Jackson's Digital Expressions Challenge and some tips!

This week it's my turn to host the new Inks and Such challenge at JDE!  Inks and Such is a challenge where you can showcase your coloring talents.  And soon we will have tutorials and tip and techniques to share with you.  This week I challenged the DT to make a card that was not the typical A4 size.  I made two this week.
This is a new release called Moma's Suga.  I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  Colors used: 942,940,914,941,946,945,927,1093,1065,906,1086,929,1014.  I inked the edges of the scalloped oval with a pigment ink then went over it with the nub and Gamsol and it actually smoothed it out nicely!

Here is a gift card holder made using the Just Shoes XI image.  Colored with Prismacolors 932,956,1008,935.  The card holder base is made by folding the Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Grand Labels Eleven die cut in half.  I used a Cuttlebug folder to emboss once folded in half.  Don't you wish they would either name or # their folders so I could tell you exactly which one was used?  Anyway, scalloped circle and center circle both Spellbinders.  Hard to tell but there are dots of Stickles around the scallops.

Here's a visual for the die except your score line will be down the center.


Here's a tip for making the pennant if you don't have a die or SVG:


Place the end of the paper diagonal in a square punch, see the top left corner, that will be the inside of your pennant "tail".


So that's it!  Come check out the amazing talent of the other DT members at JDE and join us for this new challenge!

Jackson's Digital Expressions CAS Challenge

Here is my card for the CAS Challenge this week at Jackson's Digital Expressions Blog.  

I just love this image titled Growing Old Together.  Here is the original image:
I cropped the image very close.  Now I feel like the image represents my husband and I...a younger version of the original image!  You can't tell that they are an older couple.  Maybe in 20 years I'll remake the card to resemble us then  :)


I used my new favorite technique.  The same as the last project...Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol with the blending stumps.  I love the papers they are from a DCWV pad called Cotton Bloom Stack.  There are 48 pages and 1/2 of them are glittered and I only paid $5.99 for it!  Guess where I bought it?  Believe it or not TJ Maxx!!  In their home goods section they have some crafting supplies!  I've also found supplies at their sister store Marshall's.  The sentiment is from Verve and it's hard to tell but I stippled the oval with a teal and then light gray ink.  So come check out the other Design Team members creations and join us for this week's CAS Challenge HERE!

Thanks for stopping by!   Kathi

                 So let's get to it!  My challenge was to create Anything but a card. 


I created a photo album for my husband.  As soon as I saw this digi I fell in love with it and had to use it! The image is called Proud Popa and here is my inspiration photo.  It was meant to be  :)


I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol (an odorless mineral spirits) to blend the color.  Members of the DT will be doing tutorials on coloring with various types of media and this technique will be included.  So stay tuned for those!  I used the Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants dies, the mini heart is from a Verve die called I heart U, large heart die is called Jotted Heart (Verve) and the teal die cut is from a My Favorite Things Die-namics/stamp set called Vertical Greetings.  The black paper is basic Grey called oliver greyson/ver-2702.  I used my Bind-It-All which has been sitting on the shelf for too long!

Here are some of the pics from the album:
