Peace on Earth Challenge #37

 

 Hello Friends and welcome back to my blog! 
SO happy you stopped by!

Today I have a card to share for the new challenge over on the PEACE ON EARTH CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE BLOG.  Of course the theme is Anything Christmas and we hope you'll come join in the fun! 

Here's a fun inspiration board we've created to help get you started ...

 

I must admit, I struggled with this one since I'm more of a Traditional Christmas Color person but it was fun to think outside the box and this is what I've come up with.  Sorry the photo isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be ...still learning that new photo editing software and I think sometimes it depends on the light around my light box when I'm taking the photo that creates me a problem too ... whether it's early day or evening.

Here are the products I used to create today's card . . .

  Memory Box 'Precious Mittens' (98663)

 

Tombow markers #173, 452, 725
Cuttlebug 'Snowflake' Embossing Folder
White Nuvo drops
Various Stickles for sparkle

 

I was hoping this photo would give you a better look at how I decorated the top of the mittens but unfortunately this isn't as clear as I had hoped too but I'm sure you get the idea.

 PLEASE be sure to pop over to THE BLOG and check out the amazing designs our design team has created for your inspiration.  What a group of talented ladies!!  Then come join in the fun!! 

  Have a great day!

As always ... thanks again for stopping by!

 

Four Seasons Challenge - Spring

 

Hello Friends

Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog, we are ready for a new challenge! 
Our theme this month is . . .

Anything Goes - SPRING

check out this fabulous inspiration board we have created to help inspire you . . .

 Today I was inspired by the apple blossoms in the upper left corner and the sweet little chick in the lower right corner when creating.  I'm still trying to use OLD product since I have SO MUCH and I need to quit hoarding it!  LOL  

So, here's what I've used on my creation today ...

• Couture Creations 'Enchanted Tea Party' designer paper
• Crafty Secrets image
• Prima Flowers
• Heartfelt Creations Green Prills
• Pink Fresh (sentiment)

 
As I'm sure you've noticed if you follow my blog, I've been trying to be mindful of creating a coordinating envelope when possible (and I remember!  lol) such as I have done today.  It certainly doesn't take much effort and I think it really adds that finishing touch.

 After adding the green prills to the center of my white flowers, I thought maybe a touch of yellow would coordinate better with the background paper so grabbed my Tombow marker and added a touch.  Guess I should have used the gold prills vs green ... oh well ... hind sight is a wonderful thing lol.
