Challenge #166 A Charming Project at MelJen's Designs

Today is a new challenge at Meljen's Designs! We are on Challenge #166 - A Charming Project. So, you need to use a charm on your project. I used a couple of different images for this one:

I use Snowglobe Plus Decorations for my base. I also used the bell and the holly on the side. I made a shaker box with the globe. I colored the image with Copic and popped the tail, the ball and the foot. I used my snow maker and made some snow at the bottom. I used the tinsel to go around the outside of the globe. I stamped Season's Greetings! at the bottom from a Inkadinkado Stamp Set. I added the candy cane charm onto the base.  I stamped the inside of the card with a stamp from the same Inkadinkado Stamp Set.

Copic:
Bell - C6, C7, C9, Y11, Y12, Y26, Y15, Y28, R22, R24, R27, R29, R39

Challenge #67 @ Tammy's Scrapin Corner

Good morning everyone!

Today is Challenge #67 at Tammy's Scrapin Corner and our theme this week is "Anything With Wings". I love this theme... fairies, butterflies, dragons, angels.. You name it.. all that is awesome LOL So here is my card for our challenge this week:

For this challenge I was lucky enough to be able to work with Devilish Donna from KennyK. I love all his images.. they are just fantastic! And easy to color and just FUN! I colored the image with Copic. I added a small pearl swirl, crinkle ribbon that is a hot pinkish color and the flowers. The cutout circle I created with Spellbinders dies and the sentiment was created by me. I decoupaged several parts of the image. I popped each ruffle on the dress seperately and I also popped the top of the dress and her hair. You can see that in the close up photos of the image. I tried to show it the best I could. The papers are all from my stash and I have no idea where they are from. They have been in my stash for oh so many years LOL.

Use A Digi @ One Stitch At A Time

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you all are having a really nice weekend! We had storms go through on Thursday evening. We lost power for a little bit and a tree in the yard broke at the top. No major damage or anything. I took the kids to the movies on Friday around noon.. they were going to see Fast 6. When we got back home at 1 pm or so, we had lost power! I spent the next few hours trying to find a good place to connect back into work, which I did. We didn't have power until after 7 pm. It was really strange because we had power after the storm all the way to midday the next day and then nothing LOL Oh well.. at least we got power back and all is good. They were some really strong storms, a lot of rain and wind! I hope the rest of you did all right through the storms if you had any go through!

Yesterday, Kevin and I were going to go see a movie. We always go to the 10:30 am movie, because there isn't much of a crowd. We went and the parking lot was full today! So, we changed our mind and went back home LOL Maybe next weekend! It is the opening weekend for Superman and I should have known it would be that way! LOL Kevin went for a ride instead, we watched Oz the Great and Powerful.. it was okay, and then later in the evening we went out and and he had a coffee. I just needed to get out for a bit. It has been a nice weekend. I have been coloring.. LOL Thats the usual ;)

This week we have Challenge #168: Use A Digi over at One Stitch At A Time. For this challenge I used a Stitchy Designs Image - So Sorry. I love this little fairy!! Here is my card:

I colored the image with Copic Markers. I added some glitter to her wings and gems to the sentiment on the front and the centers of her flowers in her hair. The papers are all from Basic Grey and this is from a 6x6 pack: Kneehighs. Love these papers! I used one of my edge punches on the green.

Copic:
Hair - B01, B02, B04, YG01, YG05, YG07, YG09
Flowers and Dress Petals - RV02, RV04 RV06
Leaves and Dress Leaves and Shoes - G12, G14, G19, G29
Stamen - Y13, Y17, YR18
Skin - E000, E00, E01, E11

World's Greatest Dad At Meljen's Designs

Good morning everyone. Thursday just couldn't have come any quicker.. wait! It took FOREVER to get here LOL But its here and I'm so happy! I have been pretty busy at work this week. I'm really glad it is almost the weekend. I have been so tired this week. I have been going to bed early and I haven't been sleeping well. I guess that is why I'm so tired LOL! This weekend is Father's Day.. I still have no idea what I'm doing! The kids have done a great job the past couple of weeks.. wait.. okay.. they have done a realy good job this week on their chores. I only ask them to do a few things each week. I had to threaten to take phones, but with that they straighted up and got done what needed to be done. They really have no idea what it takes to earn money and they feel like they should have whatever! I think it is the generation, but boy do they drive me nuts!! Don't get me wrong.. I love my kids LOL But man they can be selfish! Okay.. on to the real reason you are here hehehehe

Today is a new challenge at Meljen's Designs and for Challenge #164 we have World's Greatest Dad! Here is my card:

I used Just Like Dad from Meljen's Designs. Awesome image isn't it? The ties I found as a freebie online. I colored the images with Copic. The papers were all scraps.. and let me tell you.. I have WAY too many scraps LOL I need to keep using them! I distressed the edges of the papers. I stamped Happy Father's Day with a Hero Arts Stamp.
