Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #6 - Seasons/Holidays

Good morning!! Happy 10th of the month!!  Today is a new challenge over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. We are on Challenge #6, which has a theme of Seasons/Holidays. You can create anything for any holiday or any season. I can't wait to see what everyone creates! We will hopefully have a wide variety of items!

Our wonderful sponsors for June are:



We love our sponsors!! Please sure to show them the love!! They are so appreciated for all they do! Thank you!!

This challenge was a perfect excuse to create a Christmas card :)  So, that is exactly what I did:










For this one I started with my image from DigiStamps4Joy - Nativity Globe. The image was colored using Copic Markers. I did a bit of layering as well. I wanted to create a shaker with it, but then what to do with the shaker. I decided to put it on an easel card. The background of the globe image was created using Distress Ink. I created the snow flakes using Copic Opaque White. I've added some seed beads, star sequins and gold and white sequins on the inside of the shaker. I used some Wink of Stella on the star at the top. I've used all paper scraps. The metal tag says Merry Christmas and I've used some Alcohol inks to color it. I have also added some doodling on the bottom panel. I also doodled "a Savior is Born".  I also added a couple of rhinestone stars there as well. There are some stickers on the sides - the cross and the poinsettia. I added a bit of ribbon as well.

Copic Markers Used:
    • Manger: E31, E35, E37
    • Hay: Y00, Y21, Y32
    • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11
    • Blanket: E0000, E000, E02
    • Star: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19
    • Base & Globe: Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19, YR23

In Memory Poppies Easel

Good evening everyone!!  I hope you are all well!!  Just life happening here.Work has been a real challenge lately and that will continue. I'm just doing what I can and the best I can and that is all I can do. So that is that! haha!! I have been trying to spend my weekends and evenings crafting. Sometimes that works and other times it just doesn't. Like last night... hubby wanted to watch a movie with me .. Risen. He wanted me to spend time with him hehehe!!  So, I turned off the pc... gave up on crafting last night and just spent time with him and watching the movie. The movie was really great too.

What else.. the kids have been out of school for a bit. I took Michael up to Dahlonega to stay with Taylor, my oldest daughter, for the summer. My youngest just goes out every day all day!! To the pool, to friends houses. She doesn't ever want to be home.

And that is what is going on in the Kennedy household right now. I'm watching The Stanley Cup Finals and rooting on the Pittsburgh Penguins. And they are up by two games... woohoo! I have always been taken with goalies.. and right now I am loving Matt Murray. He is a rookie goalie for the Penguins and I just think he is magnificent! He will have a great career ahead of him. So... that is who I am rooting for! I hope he takes it home. Although I was really surprised that they started Murray since their goalie is healed, healthy and ready to play. I love hockey! And I'm enjoying watching them play!

Okay.. enough of my rambling.. Onto my card for today:









I have used a Delicious Doodles image - Remembrance. I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils. I then cut around it with a My Favorite Things die. The background was done using pastels. I have done a bit of layering on the image as well. I decided to create an easel card with this image. All of the pieces were cut using the Silhouette Cameo. I have managed to use a host of scrap papers for this! I am still trying to get rid of some of my scraps! I've used a bit of ink around the kraft pieces and the light blue paper. I also added some large black pearls to the top of the easel where the image resides. I added the poppy flowers at the bottom and also added a "deepest Sympathy" stamp at the bottom. There are also a couple of the large black pearls added to the bottom to tie it all in.

Last Halloween .. Took Me A Bit*

Good morning everyone! It has been a few days since I have posted. I've been working and I have been working on this card for days LOL  Nothing much is happening around here. I have a lot to do at work... that is nothing new. My youngest has gotten sick and has been home the last couple of days. I thought for sure she has Strep Throat, but the doctor says Strep was negative and she just has a cold. It sure is a heck of a cold! I'm wondering if the flu vaccine gave her a bit of a mild flew. She will have to stay home today and go back to school on Friday because of fever. I'm looking forward to the weekend. We have a couple of more days to go. There will be a lot of racing this weekend. We have the Australian V8's this weekend and the MotoGP as well. MotoGP is the last race of the season. Here is hoping Valentino doesn't win it!  What else??  That is it for now :D

Here is my card:












So, for this card I've used Fright Night by Charity Dauenhauer from Sweet Pea Stamps. I just love this image. I've colored this image with my Copic Markers and I've done quite a bit of layering on this image as well. This has taken me 3 to 4 days to finish. It's taken me a bit LOL  I've added some Wink of Stella to the moon and her wings. The easel was cut using the Silhouette Cameo. I've added some larger pearls and smaller pearls around the edge of the bottom. I've also added some orange gems around the edge. There is a sticker at the bottom that says "All Hallows Eve". There is also some black swirls at the bottom. I also added a sticker at the top that says "Prepare Yourself For One Spirited Evening If You Dare" in the shape of a bat.There are also a few green gems on the web at the top. I've used a bit of twine to add a skull charm. I think that is it!

Sweet Pea Stamps Progressive Challenge Part 2*

Good morning everyone :)  And a very happy Saturday! I am so happy the weekend is here! And it is a beautiful morning. It is so cool outside... I LOVE the cooler weather! We don't have any plans today. I'm hoping to just color and craft. We are going to go to the gym this morning. I'm taking my husband and my daughter with me. I have to go get some paint today too. But other than that there is nothing going on. I've told my son and my daughter that they are not to make any plans for today. They are to work on cleaning up their rooms and washing clothes and beds and such! That is it for us this weekend! :D  I hope you all have a great one!

Here is today's card:











This was completed as Part 2 of the Sweet Pea Stamps Facebook Progressive Challenge. I've used Gabriella Szab - How Do I Look which we were given if we completed Part 1 of the Progressive Challenge. I colored this one with my Prismacolor Pencils. I did a bit of layering as well. I have used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the card base and the different layers to this card. On the top I've added some gems on the side and a single flower. On the opposite side I've used an edge punch and added two layers in different papers. These papers are from a stack that I purchased from Michaels. The edges are all inked. On the bottom I stamped the scripture. The stamp is from Unity Stamps. I also added some gems to tie it in to the top of the easel.

Christmas Angel with Harp*

Good morning everyone!  Happy Labor Day :)  I hope everyone has had a nice long weekend! I have been crafting. Kevin and I went for a little ride on the bikes yesterday morning, but other than that we have just been hanging out. I think my Father-in-Law is a bit nervous about his trip back home, so we have been taking it easy. It is a LONG day ahead for him in the air. It is a long trip from Georgia to Australia! He leaves this evening, so I'll be crafting until we head to the airport.

Here is my Christmas card for today:











I've used Harp Angel from Di's Digi Designs. I colored her with Copic Markers and did a small bit of layering. I added some clear Wink of Stella to the colored harp. I also added gold Wink of Stella to the star and her halo. All of the papers, except for the card base, are scraps and I cut all the card pieces with my Silhouette Cameo. I embossed the white in the background with some clouds. I added a bit of yellow ribbon and the gems around the card. I also added a bit of yellow stitching on the top. The Joy To The World is stamped. I decorated the inside so that it was easier to write on the easel card.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13; R20
  • Hair: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23
  • Harp: Y11, Y15, YR24
  • Wing: E40, E41
  • Blue on Dress: B0000, B00, B01, 0
