Creative Inspirations #59

Happy Mother's Day!!! I don't know about you all but I have every intention of taking it easy today! Maybe, if I'm lucky, that will even involve some coloring so I can actually get a head start on some work that needs to be done.  DD has another cold, so we will see about that! Anyway I do need to tell you it's challenge time again over at Creative Inspirations and this week Bea has chosen our theme of Glitz and Bling! Our Sponsors are: 

and Joanna Sheen with a 10 voucher to her store. 

So, here is my card...

Yep, this ones for my Mommy! I've got all kinds of different glitz and bling on there too. Stickles all around the card and the flowers have been glimmer misted as well as the teal cardstock. The white paper behind miss Tilda is pearlesent cardstock from DCWV and the rhinestones are from Imaginsce and attached with my I-Rock. 

Purple again for Tilda...that's two in a row! You can really see the glimmer on that paper here and I believe this image is called 'Tilda with banner'. I think she was a perfect choice for my mom's card cause she has freckles just like me!

Ok, well, this did not post in the direction it was supposed to, lol. However, here is a closer view of the flowers and now I'm almost out of purple...Oh' please WOC get the ones I need in stock soon!!

Well, that's all for me! I hope you all are having a lovely weekend and getting some beautiful weather...supposed to be 102 degrees here, yuck! Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out what the rest of the DT have come up with!

Have a great day!

A Maggie Thank You

Hello my blogging friends! Hope you all are doing well today. I've got a busy day ahead of me, but I really need to to something up on this blog! I've been a bad blogger lately, sorry about that, life just seems to get crazy at the end of the school year. Soon school will be out and I should(hopefully if my kids cooperate) have a little more craft time. At least I won't be running them around to soccer practices and games and such and to top it off DH is starting a new job soon and he'll be home at a decent hour so my life will be getting much better. Anyway, you didn't stop by to hear about all that, so on to the card.

 

Meet 'Tilda and Her Bunny' isn't she the cutest, and I've paired her with 'Daffodil Dell' from Make it crafty! Together I think they make a great little scene. I've colored both the images with copics and the rest of the background has been done with chalks.

Here she is on the finished card. This photo did not turn out the best, but I took several and believe it or not this was the best of them. Sorry about the awkwardness of it too, I never know what to do when the bows going off the card like that lol. It looks bad if I chop it and it looks bad if I don't so I guess it's lose, lose. 

 

Here's a close up of those flowers. My stash is getting really small now. WOC really needs to get in the flowers that I want, arrgghhh, I am no good at making my own! It seems all of us in the craft world want the same colors and buy from the same place lol, but I've been waiting for months now and when they finally get in one thing I want they are sold out of another and I really don't wanna make a bunch of orders, oh what a dilemma!

Ok, one more thing, yesterday I  forgot to mention  that a new challenge started over at Southern Girls and it is....One for the Girls!! We have some fantastic sponsors for this challenge they are Tiddly Inks, Sassy Studio Designs, and Joanna Sheen so be sure to check out the challenge blog for further deets and to see all the DT creations! Thanks for stopping by hope you have a great day!

Simply Said and a Digi Sentiment 4U

Hello All!! I'm finally back! Hope you all are off to a wonderful week! It's bright and sunny where I'm at, so hopefully the chores don't take too long today. Anyway, today I have my Simply Sassy Dt inspiration post to share with you and that is this...

This image is called 'Call Me' and is available at Funky Kits here. I've left it CAS because I see this going to a man and they're generally not into all the fru fru stuff. The sentiment is mine and I'm now thinking it may be a bit large, but it doesn't look that big IRL, so I think this is just one of those cards that doesn't photograph well. The pretty papers are from BoBunny's Gabrielle line and the lace is from my stash. All of the papers have been distressed and inked and that's pretty much it.

Here's a close up. She is colored with copics and the background is done with chalks. Sorry I don't have a copic list for you as she's been colored up for some time. I'm personally very happy with the background and hope I can repeat it sometime and it's not a one hit wonder,lol.

 

Lastly, I will share with you my sentiment. It's not perfect, but if you like it, here you go. Clicking it should take you to a larger size to save to your computer. Please don't pass it off as your own and refer people back to my blog if they'd like one.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Stirring up fun & a digi freebie for you!

Hello Lovely people! I'm finally back with a little something to share with you. Today I've made a tag for my Simply Sassy Dt post. Here is....

 

 ...'Witches Cauldron' available at Funky Kits here. I'm going to be using this tag for a gift for my friends daughter who is really into this show called Monster High so I tried to color the little witch similar to her favorite character. I personally think I would now really love to have pink and black hair,lol.

My tag is pretty basic as I am just not that great at making extravagant tags like some of you(this is actually a lot for me,lol) but I'd really like to get better at this so I will keep trying. Anyway, my papers are DCWV and I made the sentiment myself...been on a little kick of that lately, and if you'd like to have it.....

 ....here you go, just please don't pass it off as your own and please send people back to my blog if they would like one. This one is in png form, but if you cant use that just e-mail me and I'll be happy to send you out a jpeg. Also, I haven't done this b4, but i think if u click the pick it should make it the original size, better for saving.

Lastly, here are my copics. a relatively short list for you today. Well, I guess that does it. It's gonna be pretty quite around here this week, as DD is sick and the kids have a lot going on at school. I may pop in with some more sentiments, but so far today DD is being pretty needy.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Southern Girls Challenge #17

Hello lovely people!! It's time again for another challenge over at Southern Girls and this week we want to see you use Blue and Green. Here's what I've come up with....

This little beauty is Simply Sassy's 'Winking Student' found here and this card was also used for my SS DT inspiration post today. These awesome papers are from Basic Grey's Oliver collection and I just had to throw in that little bit of burgandy cause I thought it just made everything pop!

As you can see all of the papers are distressed...even the rolly roses, lol, but that's about it for techniques! Although it still took me forever this card came along quite nicely and I finally go to do this little thing where the image is partly outside the diecut. I have a cricut, so it's hard to reason myself into buying a bunch of spellbinders templates, but on a recent trip to JoAnn's I found 2-four die collection sets for $39 and I couldn't hardly pass that up now could I. :)

Ok, back to the card...

Here's a closer view of the little darling. Sorry it's not such a great pic, apparently I just couldn't get the camera straight yesterday. I also regreat to inform you I forgot to take a pic of my copics, sorry about that. I can tell you tought that if you like the darkend portions on her face and body my darkest color was YR02 I really find I like the look of it much better than E11 that everyone else seems to use.

I even did up the inside this time around! This is a pocket with a tag and  there's going to be a sentiment by the flourish, I just haven't decided what yet.

I guess that does it! Thanks for stopping by today! Make sure you ceck out what the rest of the SG Dt has come up with for your and our fabby sponsors Digital Delights for NZ/AU and Meljens for Int.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
