Here's what I came up with:

I had the best idea to turn a double shutter card into a GARDEN/HOUSE! Although this was so much fun to put together, it was quite tedious and required a lot of patience (which for the most part I have none). I just adore how this came out and think I will be hanging on to this one for sure!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge # 37 - Anything Goes

HELLO FRIENDS!

So there's a great challenge going on over at Crafty Gals Corner! We have a challenge that begins every  WEDNESDAY! More often then not there are MULTIPLE SPONSORS PER WEEK! So there's plenty of chances to win! 

Our sponsors this week are:

The Paper Nest Dolls

Prize: $20 gift certificate 

AND

Lemon Shortbread

Prize: 3 digital images 

This week's challenge is: ANYTHING GOES!

I made a card with each sponsor's delightful images. The first one is from Paper Nest Dolls and it's called Frog Princess.

How cute is that image?! Since I'm a bit of a Disney nut, I went with the green colors and I think it worked well for this card. 

This second card features the image "Bone Goth Fairy" by Lemon Shortbread

I wanted this card to be a little on the darker side, but with lots of vine-y florals. I think this card came out a little more simple than what I had pictured in my head (Don't you just hate it when that happens?) but I still like it.

Thanks for stopping by today! Go ahead and head on over to Crafty Gals Corner, and join in on our challenge! You have until Tuesday at 12:00pm to enter!

Pattie's Creations Challenge #114: Back to School

Hello again!

It's time for another challenge over at  Pattie's Creations!

So somethings you should know about Pattie's Creations! 

Pattie Gomez is a talented lady who creates some very cute images. To see for yourself go ahead and check out her Etsy Shop! 

She designs with a special little girl in mind called Pattieboop and her trust sidekick Allie! Pattie describes them below:

 "Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed. 

Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Alllie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…" - Pattie Gomez

So on to this month's challenge!

The challenge this month is: Back to School

So here's what I created for this month's challenge using the image: Apple of my Eye
I made a waterfall card for my hubby! He's taking classes to get his bachelors in Engineering and we are so proud!

Faery Ink ~ August Release

Hello there!

So the lovely Amanda has restructured some things around Faery Ink! Instead of having a New Release every month, she has decided to release new images EVERY FRIDAY! 

We have also moved over to a new site, and there are no longer monthly challenges over at the blog - Faery Ink

Instead - there are monthly challenges going on the Facebook Group - be sure to pop by and share all things Faery Ink we all love to see them!

Also, the Etsy store is no longer being used but have no fear! You can still purchase your favorite images HERE!

This particular New Image is called: Gabbie Sea Baubles

Here's my take on the image:

I just love mermaids, and nautical things (in case you haven't noticed)! However, I decided to try this gal in colored pencils! Boy oh boy - that was a lot of hair to color but it was so fun! I also attempted a new technique I learned from a Kit & Clowder monthly subscription class, and that was the drawn in scales on the mermaid's tale.

The following supplies were used to make this card:

Purple Cardstock - Stash
Gold Paper - Recollections

Heavenly White 80# Cardstock - The Paper Temptress

*I do all my coloring on this - It's SUPER!*

Faery Ink Inspirational!

Hello Faery Ink fans! 

I'm so glad it's summer time! It's my favorite season. I love the sunshine, and the beach.

 

For this months inspirational post, I decided to use the Beachball Arielle from the New Release.

I hope that you will take a look at the Faery Ink Store and try your hand at any one of these amazing images.

 

 

I've never made an S-fold card, but it's so simple and easy and gives a great effect!!

I've slowly, but surely, been working through a long list of card styles, and folds that I have been wanting to try. Stay tuned for next month to see what else I come up with.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this or not, but I've recently start transitioning from Spectrum Noir Markers to Copics. I just had a play with some Copics recently and decided that I HAD TO HAVE THEM! I love their effect, they blend like a dream, and they are so easy to work with. I'm still trying to get a hang of the hair!

I have a tendency to make everything very bright and colorful but I came across these papers and attempted to tone down a bit!  I hope I succeeded.

Supplies used to make this card:

All Papers - Seaglass Mat Stack by K&C

Paper Temptress - Heavenly White #80

*I do all my coloring on this - It's amazing!*

Seashell & Starfish - io Dies (Impression Obsession)

Eyelets - Stash
