It's a date!

Hope everyone is warm and toasty!  It's time for our 613 Avenue Create Challenge and the Create Your Own Challenge this week.  Today I have my husbands Valentine's Day gift.  My poor husband works two full time jobs so time alone together is very hard to come by!  So I've created a Date Night book.  There are 12 pre-paid dates with gift cards to restaurants, movies and even a gas card so during one of the summer months we can just jump in the car and go!  Destination unknown  :) The image I've used is from Time for Tea called Paige I love you.

Whew!  That was a long one  ;)  Thanks for making it to the end! 
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!!
Hugs,
Kathi

The floral paper is by Glitz Design called French Kiss Floral,  Spellbinders die Picot Edge Circles, I used Copics & Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. 

Now for the Bugaboo card.  I used the Stella Says Sketch #119 for this weeks challenge at Catch The Bug Challenge Blog it's called Bugaboo Brats - Best Friends. 

Plaid paper by Doodlebug called Sew Plaid, pink polka dot is washi tape for $1 at AC Moore, scalloped border is an SVG and I used one of the new Darice embossing folders then touched the dots with Stickles.

Colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  Stickle accents.

Altered notepad and fixing mistakes

Happy Tuesday...I know back to work after a long weekend here in the states...ugh...

This week at Jackson's Digital Expressions it's time for the Altered Art Challenge.  It's still Anything Goes and our sponsor this week is My Heart Pieces.  I've chosen to cover a notepad for my project.  I used a Robert Jackson new release image called Back to School.

 

Note paper stamp with matching die and sentiment all by Verve.  Scalloped bottom by Spellbinders.  And ruler washi tape I picked up at AC Moore for $1 and a 5 pack of notepads at Dollar Tree for $1

I had a friend tell me she liked a post where I showed how to fix a mistake I made (you can read it HERE) So I will do that from now on...thanks Linda.  Ok so here is my mistake because I just can't leave well enough alone!  When I was done coloring the crayon above I thought it would look good outlined with a fine tip marker.  Wrong!  I hated it!  And figured I ruined it.  However, I cut the crayon in half and positioned it so the top and bottom of crayon was showing from behind the paper but the letters were not.  Wasn't my initial plan but I think it looks ok  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  And come join us at JDE this week with your projects!
