Beautiful daughter ornament

Hi Everyone!  Whew before you know it the holidays will be over!  I really haven't made anything this year!  Just my DT projects and a few birthday cards.  Speaking of DT's this is my last project for the Through The Craftroom Door Design Team.  They really are a wonderful group of artists and I would like to thank Colleen Holmes for the opportunity to design with them over the last 6 months.  So here it is...drum roll please...LOL!  

 

 It's been many many years since I've made an ornament for my daughter Shianne.  This little girl from Sassy Cheryl's always reminds me of her.  I hadn't planned on making an ornament it just happened.  I'm sure you know what I mean, you start a project with one thing in mind then it ends up being something completely different  LOL!  I really like how the lights shine through the cut outs of the heart die by QuicKutz.   I used Frantage embossing powder on the edge of the heart, it's a nice white & gold color.   And I surprised myself with the shadow from the halo!  

Well until next time!
Hugs,
Kathi

Washi birthday pail

Hi again!
      I'm here with this week's Anything Goes challenge at Through The Craftroom Door.  I made a girly birthday bucket for my son's classmate.  I used the Sassy Cheryl's image Let's Party!  Colored with Copics and can you believe it...I forgot the Stickles!!  I didn't even realize it until it was long gone!  (sigh)  That's ok...I'll live...it just would have looked so much better!  LOL!  Anyway, moving on...I actually used some of my washi tape stash!  And the pail was from the $1 bin at Target.  I put some Disney hand sanitizer and a magic washcloth in there with a $10 bill.  What girl doesn't like cash...even if she's only 5!

 see...no Stickles = blah  :(

The sentiment was a freebie from Paulette at Create With TLC.  She is a very generous artist with daily freebies, go check out her shop!
Thanks for stopping by!!

It's time for another Through The Craftroom Door challenge!  

This week we are sponsored by

Here is my DT card

I water colored two pieces of paper (blue/purples and green) then printed the digi.  I "fussy cut" the flowers and leaves out and glued the pieces on top of an image printed on white CS.  Just like a puzzle!  LOL!  The plum paper is from DCWV Shimmer Stack, the white with glitter design CS was a scrap I bought from a stamp store.  I used the Sizzix scalloped die and the Dainty Bow die by MFT.

The centers of the flowers are micro beads by Martha Stuart.  I put some Glossy Accents then poured the beads over it.  I did three layers this way so it is raised up.  I wrapped some cloth floral wire around the end of my pin tool and tucked them under the flowers secured with a little Glossy Accents (I love that stuff!!).  The crystals are Jolee's Hotfix Crystals.

I really like how this came out.  Let me tell you it's not easy fussy cutting water color paper!  LOL!  I hope you can stop by and see what my talented DT members have created or maybe you could join us at TTCRD for our Anything Goes Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone,
     I'm here today with my DT card for the Through The Craftroom Door  Anything Goes Challenge.  The roses were white so I colored the edges with a Copic then used the colorless blender to soften the lines.  Then I added Stickles to the edges.  I also colored the dotted CS with a matching Copic before cutting all of the leaves/swirl.  I used the Stickles on the dress and as earrings and champagne bubbles.

Thank for stopping by!

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
