Crazy 4 Challenges!

Hi again!  I have another card to post!  I've been wanting to get some stamping done but time has not been on my side until now!  So here's another...I want in on the prize for Crazy 4 Challenges this week...because as you know, I LOVE GF stamps!!!  Here's Edward.  I colored him with watercolor pencils and a white gel pen.  The paper is BG.  The sentiment is from SU.  The sketch is from Crazy 4 Challenges and the other part of the challenge is "non holiday."  This card also fits CRAFT's thank you challenge,  and Crafty Cardmaker's "favorites" challenge.  Greeting Farm are my favorite stamps and distressing is one of my favorite techniques!  So that's all!  Thanks for coming by again :)   Hope to see you again real soon!

Babysitting project

Hi there again!  I just wanted to post a little project I did with the kids I babysit for.  We made snowglobes out of Polar fruit jars.  I stamped the images the kids chose with Stazon on acetate.  They colored them with Sharpie markers and cut out the images.  We filled the jars with baby oil and each child chose the glitter colors they wanted.  We glued the images in two of them and let them free float in the other two.  Then the kids chose the ribbons they wanted to decorate the outsides of the jars.  I hot glued and superglued the lids shut and then hotglued the ribbon around the lids and the tops of the jars.  The kids are ages 1, 2, 6 and 8. I can honestly say, I have NEVER seen kids so excited about a project before!  They had a blast and were so proud :)  It's times like this I miss being a toddler teacher!  Thanks for looking! 

Anyone for Anya?

Hello and Welcome!  Today I have a card I made for the Anyone for Anya challenge.  It was a sketch challenge.  I used my new Dress Me Anya stamp.  The papers are DCWV.  The sentiment is from SU's "Noteworthy" set.  I love the colors of this!  I colored Anya with watercolor pencils.  This card also fits challenges at:

Anyone for Anya: Sketch
Charisma Cardz:  Anything but Christmas

That's it for now :)  Thanks for stopping by! 

Lots to post...

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday season!  Mine was great!  Lots of time with lots of special people.  It's always sad to see it end.  But I did want to post all of the projects I made (minus one-somehow forgot to photograph one of them and it was so cute!!)  Anyway, I made cards for each niece, nephew and brother as well as my older brother's mother. Don't get confused...the older ones are half brothers!  Anyway, I have a few to post.  The first is one I did for my 2 year old niece, Kali.  The second is for her 7 year old brother, Kam.  The third is for my nephew Blake and his wife Laura. The fourth is for my nephew, Chase.  And the fifth was for my brother and sister-in-law. I did have 2 others that I made, but one I can't post until the second week of January...so come back and see!  The other, like I said, I forgot to photograph! So anyway, I'm not going to go into much detail as there are so many of them and it's late. Thanks for stopping by and please check below to see which challenges I entered.  Good night!

Whimsy Challenge AND Whimsy Advent Event!

Happy Monday!  Christmas is so close...my goodness that snuck up fast!  Today I have a post to celebrate the Whimsy Advent Event! The prize for today's giveaway is Whimsy Pet Friends (see pic bottom right)!

I did my card to fit the challenge at Whimsy's blog which is Chipboard!  So I went with the Whimsy Polar Bear.  I colored him with a white snow pen and heated it and watercolor pencils.  I used the layout from Friday Sketchers.  This card is for one of my nieces.  I didn't want another Christmas card, but a wintery one.  The sentiment is from a wooden block set I got from AC Moore.

Creative Card Crew:  Anything goes
Charisma Cardz:  Anything but Christmas
C.R.A.F.T.:  Free for all

GDT with the Crafty Pad!

Hi there!  It's a very snowy Sunday here in NH and I'm keeping busy with all the Christmas prep!  I'm finally feeling better today so I'm trying to finish up all I can :)  Today I want to share my project for my Guest Designer position at The Crafty Pad this week!  I got to work with their newest image "RoShell."  I think she's a cutie, don't you?  I made this very warm, colorful card and threw in these awesome jeweled droplet brads where the raindrops are in the image.  I used glitter gel to color the umbrella and the puddle. The rest is colored with watercolor pencils.  The challenge this week at The Crafty Pad is "Stitching."  I did a faux stitch on the center square.  Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to visit tomorrow for a big Whimsy post!
