Peace Love Santa

Hi everyone! 
     Today is World Peace Day and at 613 Avenue Create the optional theme is to use a peace symbol or the word peace in your creation.  Our sponsor this week is Rick St. Dennis and I've used the Night Before Christmas Santa image, cropped of course.  

So today as I was trying to finish this project my 4 year old, Niko, came to "help" me.  He tends to drive me a little crazy when he comes to my craft room because he likes to touch everything!  Typical 4 year old  :)   Well...we were able to have a little fun today!

Hope you can have some fun today!  Thanks for stopping by!

Challenges:

Happy Fright Night!

It's that time again!  Our challenge this week at 613 Avenue Create is sponsored by Rick St. Dennis and it's a true Anything Goes, there's no Twist this week.  I used an image called Callista the Witch, this image was a freebie I received in his monthly newsletter.  

 

 

I am forever struggling with my lighting...ugh.  Hard to tell her skin is green LOL!  Oh well...that's it for now I'll be back on Tuesday with my DT card for TTCRD.

Til next time!

Hugs,

Kathi

Hi everyone,

Rick St. Dennis and I've used an image called Myataki.

 I used Glossy Accents to add some marble/seed beads

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

Skulls & Roses

Hi Everyone,

Today I have my  project for the 613 Avenue Create  Anything Goes challenge.  Our sponsor this week is Rick St. Dennis and I've chosen to work with the Skull Roses image.  I usually work with the cutesy images but I love skulls...my dark/artistic side :)
The sentiment was a free wordart digi from Ginger's House.  All of her digi's are free and she has a great sense of humor!!  You should check out her blog. 

Image colored with Prismacolor pencils/Gamsol and chalks.  I used the Spellbinders Grand Labels Eleven die and distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool then inked the edges in gray.  I mounted it on some red/orange mulberry paper which I torn the edges.  For a tip on how to do this see my post HERE

(completed binder, so difficult to photograph the image under the plastic)

I hope you'll join us this week with your project at 613 Avenue Create Challenge Blog.
Hugs,
Kathi
