To you from me...and Willow

Hi everyone, hope you had a great day. Mine's been ok, had to visit the dentist this morning because of two cavities. I am so glad I decided not to get numbed, because I HATE that feeling. It only hurt for a very short time. But I am so glad I got that dentist visit over with!!

Here's a card I made monday and it fits the challenge at the Cupcake craft challenge which is Pearls and swirls. I know you can all see the pearls, the swirls are harder to see, as they are only on the image.

This sweet image is from Whiff of Joy "Willow with cookies". Isn't it just beautiful. I had so much fun coloring it with copics and prismacolor pencils and baby oil. The designer paper is from Basic Grey and the cards stocks are from Stampin Up. I used my janome sew mini sewing machine for some zigzag stitches and Martha Stewart and stampin up punches for flowers and leaves. The full recipe is below.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, hope you're having a great day/night!

Ellie.

A clean and simle fall card --- DTC24

Hello all and happy Tuesday.

I made this card for this week's digital tuesday challenge. Martha is our hostess and she wants to see a

clean and simple fall card.

I don't know about your area, but here in Illinois it surely is looking more and more like fall, even though it hasn't officially started. Leaves are starting to change colors and fall off and the squirrels are throwing down tons of acorns from my tree in the backyard. My son is constantly complaining about them because he still loves to be barefoot in the backyard (it is still very warm in the daytime) and hates to step on them! I keep telling him to put on his shoes but he is not listening! Kids!!

I thought this little Susie Squirrel image from the Digital Stamp Oasis would be perfect for this theme. I used copics to color. Papers are all Stampin Up, the designer paper too, even though it is long retired. The full recipe can be read below. Oh, and if you like digital stamp oasis images, I have a super sale going on for a limited time only - all 20 images for US$10.00. You can check out the sale here.

I hope you get a chance to play the digital tuesday challenge this week for a chance to win some images from KLM Designs.

Penny Black Challenge..........A sketch

Hello and a happy sunday! I hope your having a fun day planned.

I got a chance yesterday to do the Penny Black Challenge, which is a sketch this week. I used this cute "Snowy" Penny Black stamp, which my dear husband got me from a local stamp store last winter. He is the best!!

Image was colored using copics and I added stickles glitter to the hat and scarf. The papers are from Stampin Up and Basic Grey. I distressed the edges a little and did some sewing with my sewing machine.

Waterlily skiing and some challenges

Hi all and a happy weekend!!
I made today's card with a few challenges in mind.
The image is Waterlily skiing from Penny Black. I had received a few images from a image swap I was in, and after that I just had to have the stamp, and I was lucky enough to find it on ebay.
It was colored with copics and prisma markers. I actually colored it a few months ago when I was practicing.
The designer paper is from Basic Grey, eva collection. I added a little bit of stickles glitter to it for some sparkle. The other papers are stampin up, melon mambo, kiwi kiss and white. Since the paper was already so busy, I tried to use less embellishments, but they are my favorites: pearls, narrow grosgrain ribbon and paper flowers.
And these are the challenges I made it for:

Friday Sketchers sketch ( a little bit reversed)
Stamp something (something with your favorite embellishment)
Cute Card Thursday (color challenge pink and green)
