A CUTE LITTLE SNOWMAN TO MELT YOUR HEART!

 A pretty quick challenge card for Magnolia-licious challenge blog.   I used mostly white with a little accent color of Frost Blue and Robin's Egg on my snowman.  And I used Acid Yellow and Pale Yellow for my star.   The snowflake is a new die for me by Spellbinders.  The covered brad is by K and Company.  Flowers are by Prima and PP is by My Mind's Eye Christmas collection.  I used Stickles and MS snow glitter for my snowy areas.  Thanks for stopping by....

A birthday Tilda......

A fun birthday Tilda card for a special friend of mine whose birthday is in January.  But this Tilda has a long ways to travel to her so I needed to make it early.  Card was made from all scraps.  I just love this ribbon and I'm almost to the end of my roll.  whine....   Chipboard  star was covered with pp and edges sanded.  Image colored with Copics and shadowed with Prismacolor Pencils.  Flowers and rhinestones were added along with a button from Ranger.  Thanks for stopping by.

Leaving for out of town

I'm leaving on a business trip with my hubby for a week.  We will return Dec. 11 for a week then gone again a week for Christmas.  I can already see this month fly by as a blur.  Thank goodness for the most part my Christmas shopping is finished.  One pressure off my back. 
Plan to take my copics and come images with me for the week as I'll be in the hotel during the day while Bob works.  I need something to keep me busy! 
take care....

Inspiration Challenge Tuesday - Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog

 http://magnolia-liciouschallengeblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/inspiration-challenge-tuesday.html

Magnolia-licious Challenge blog had an Inspiration Challenge this week.  We were able to look at a photo and make a card using a Magnolia image from what inspired us from that photo.  For me it was the COLORS of the pink, yellow and a splash of BLUE!  At first I thought surely I can't use the blue.....  But after the card was finished I LOVE IT!  haha......  Again I used my Prismacolor pencils to outline and shade with.  I used my stump and odorless mineral spirits to help move the pencil line for a shadow look.  I sprayed the frame and starts with GRAPHITE colored Glimmer Mist.  Sentiment is by Hero Arts.  This card will be going postal Monday to my friend, Alma in St. Marys, GA to help her celebrate her birthday.  Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Christmas

I DECIDED TO GO WITH A VERY SIMPLE CHRISTMAS CARD THIS YEAR.  I WAS ABLE TO MAKE ALL MY CARDS IN 2 DAYS.  AND THAT FELT WONDERFUL!  I ALSO DID NOT USE UP TONS OF MY SUPPLIES OR TIME MAKING THEM EITHER.  SO MANY TIMES OUR CARDS WE'VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS MAKING GO TOSSED INTO THE TRASH BY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS THAT JUST DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT TOOK TO MAKE THEM THAT SPECIAL CARD.  SO...... THIS YEAR I WENT SIMPLE, BUT STILL HANDMADE AND PRETTY TOO.  A LITTLE CRYSTAL EFFECTS WENT ON THE RED BERRIES TO GIVE THEM SOME SHINE!  AND OUR ANNUAL LETTER WILL GET TUCKED DOWN INSIDE.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY TO SEE ME.....

CELEBRATE Magnolia-licious Challenge PINK & YELLOW

This is my Magnolia-licious Challenge card for the first challenge on the blog for yellow and pink.  I plan to send this card to my dear friend, Gail who will be celebrating her birthday in a couple more weeks.  PP is by Heidi Grace called It's my Party.  The ribbon was given to me by Cynthia and is actually a holiday ribbon that has a flocked feel to it.  You won't believe. It came from Walmart and the cost was $2......  Love it!  Great even for a wedding card. 
I have played with my prismacolor pencils after coloring my image with copics to do some shadowing.  I love this look on an image.  I plan to keep playing and practicing it. 
Thanks for stopping by.

Altered Canvas

Another altered canvas that I added to my inventory for the bazaar.  The embellishment is by Artisan Elements.  OMG I love these.  You can spray glimmer mist as I did here on mine  (used Graphite color) and the color goes into the creases.  You can also use paint, ink, alcohol ionks, glitter glue, markers......  They really are beautiful.  A pretty satin ribbon in pink was also added. This is one of the prettiest pp's.  I sprayed the matting for the photo also in glimmer mist.  Flower is by Prima.  YUMMY!
thanks for stopping by.
