MORE THAN 1 FOLD CHALLENGE AT MILKCOFFEE!

It has been a very tiring week and it’s only Wednesday!  Actually I have been pretty productive this week but also very contemplative amid a local tragedy that happened over the weekend.  3 high school girls from the community right next to ours were killed in a car accident this past Saturday night.  One of the girls was the sister of one of my older son’s soccer teammates.   It has been a tough week.  I don’t typically like to bring people down when they come visit my blog, but since this is something happening here and has affected me, I just wanted to share.

On to happy thoughts though…  We have a NEW CHALLENGE  going on at MILKCOFFEE CHALLENGE and it is MORE THAN 1 FOLD, so we want to see those FANCY FOLDS!!  You have until Weds., November 21 at 8pm EST to come join us.  You don’t have to use an image from MILKCOFFEE SHOP, but we’d sure love to see one.

Closed card
 

Open

My image of “Lisbeth – Autumn Taste” can be found in MILKCOFFEE SHOP along with all of the other fabulous images designed by the talented owners of MILKCOFFEE SHOP.   I have colored it with Copics and cut with Nesties, then daubed with Memento ink.   I have tried this fold that I have always been intrigued by, but never took a chance at before.  I think it’s called “twisting easel” or something and it was really quite easy to make!  I added papers  from Bazzill and DP from my stash.  Bling and pearls from My Mind’s Eye, lace from JoAnn, flower from Prima, sentiment from Verve and cut with A. Jillian Vance Designs die.  Hope you like it and will come play along at MILKCOFFEE CHALLENGE!

QUICK AND EASY BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE WITH INKY IMPRESSIONS


Hi everyone!  It's my day to share with you on the INKY IMPRESSIONS INSPIRATIONAL BLOG.  Do you ever spend what seems like a large amount of time trying to choose a perfect patterned paper to fit with your project?  I have this problem whenever I don't pick my papers ahead of time - which happens frequently.  So, I have learned some techniques to create my own patterned paper in a quick and easy way, and I'm going to share another of those techniques today (shared one last month too:))

Head on over to INKY IMPRESSIONS INSPIRATIONAL BLOG to learn how to make this quick and easy background.

I then chose to color in Inky Impressions Stamps image "Lili's Pumpkin" with my Copics, Sakura pens and Staedler pens.  I cut her out with Lifestyle Crafts die, added a banner die cut from Taylored Expressions, a squirrel stick from Jolee's Boutique and a sentiment from My Craft Stop cut with Nesties.


Hope you like it and will try this fun technique:)

NEW RELEASES AT DIGITAL DELIGHTS (sorry for delay)

Well, it’s been a busy and somewhat bad week, so I am a bit behind with some posts, for which I apologize.  I like staying on top of things, so when life forces me to get behind on anything – whether it’s crafting, cooking, sleeping or being late places – I get super frustrated with myself.  I know sometimes, despite our greatest efforts to the contrary, we cannot plan for everything that life throws at us, so I need to accept that and move on!

As I mentioned earlier this week, 2 of my 4 kids contracted lice again or it was a re-birth of their previous cases.  Either way, I am still having to go through their hair with a fine tooth comb at least once a day, and that takes more than an hr. to do both.  Additionally, my oldest daughter, who is Autistic, is having some major issues at school and it doesn’t help that she’s 13 and also going through puberty.  Finally, I had a bunch of appointments this week – dentist, hair, etc. – that aren’t normally part of my schedule and I had to make cupcakes for son #2’s Halloween party at school.  Sheesh!

Anyway, enough of that – not looking for sympathy, just understanding as to why I am not quite on top of posting this week.  We have a NEW RELEASE at DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP and it is Christmas related and it is FABULOUS!!   I hope you will stop by the DIGITAL DELIGHTS BLOG and see all the amazing DT gals’ creations. If you have time, I’m sure they’d love a visit to their individual blogs.

Also, a NEW CHALLENGE starts today at DELIGHTGUL CHALLENGES, so I hope you will check that out and play along!!
 
My DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP image is Gingerbread Slippy and he is paired with sentiment and frame from the NEW Magical Winter sentiments set.  I have colored the image and frame with Copics and Sakura pens and added Stickles for his fur lining atop his hat and on the pom pom.  Image is cut with MFT die and frame cut with Lifestyle Crafts and MFT dies.  Sentiment cut with Nestie.  I used papers from Bo Bunny, flowers from Wild Orchid Craft and organdy ribbon from my stash.  I sure hope you like it and make sure you check out all the fun stuff going on at DIGITAL DELIGHTS SHOP and DIGITAL DELIGHTS BLOG!

Additional Challenges:


MOJO MONDAY – sketch
ATCS & CARDS WITH ATTITUDE - add a sentiment/anything goes
AVADARES – Christmas
CARD CRAFTERS CIRCLE – patterned paper
CHRISTMAS STAMPIN ALL YEAR – Christmas and anything goes
CLEARLY INSPIRED – critters
CRAFTY ANN’S – Christmas
POLKA DOODLES – bright colors and sparkle

NEW CHALLENGE AT LITTLE MISS MUFFET - INSPIRED BY FIREWORKS!

Well, just when I thought there was smooth sailing ahead, I had to deal with the return of the dreaded lice as well as a bunch of other appointments, etc. this week that are out of the norm, so I am a bit later than usual with some of my posts for today.  Hint: some will be coming tomorrow – sorry for the delay, but sometimes life just gets in the way of my beloved crafting!

We have a NEW CHALLENGE for you this week at LITTLE MISS MUFFET and our challenge this time it is FIREWORKS and we have some inspiration photos to get you started. You will have until Tuesday, November 13 to come enter your projects. Please remember, if you do not use a LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS image, you get 1 entry and must follow our theme of FIREWORKS.  However, if you play along with an image from LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS,
you get as many entries as you want AND the theme is anything goes!!

Reminder, we have a FACEBOOK FAN PAGE and we sure hope you will join us – just click the link to go there – FACEBOOK - Barbara has promised a FREEBIE when we reach 200 followers, so tell your friends too!!

For my project this week, I have chosen LITTLE MISS MUFFET STAMPS image “Thelma Jean Hatter.”  I adore all the hatters so of course, I had a great time coloring her with my Copics and then fussy cutting her.  I used one of the fireworks photos for my background – I enlarged it using GIMP then printed on cardstock and cut up to create my background, which also uses Bazzill CS.  I added bling from my stash, and a sentiment from Cardz TV, which I cut with Lifestyle Crafts die.  I sure hope you like it and will come play at LITTLE MISS MUFFET.  You will also want to check out the fabulous DT inspiration!

Additional Challenges:
ONE CRAZY STAMPER – anything goes

LOTS OF LAYERS CHALLENGE AT INKY IMPRESSIONS

Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween to everyone!   Hope you are having a great week.  My week took a wee hectic turn yesterday as 2 of my 4 kids came home with lice again!  This time it was much worse, although I had found out about a different treatment in between this bout and the last one and it seems to have worked much better and quicker.  So, fingers crossed, no more lice this school year!

Anyway, we have a NEW CHALLENGE for you this week at INKY IMPRESSIONS CHALLENGE and it is LOTS OF LAYERS, minimum of 3.   You do not need to use an image from INKY IMPRESSIONS to play along, but if you do, you will get 2 entries instead of 1 for purposes of random.org drawing for the winner.
Our winner this time will receive a $10 gift certificate to INKY IMPRESSIONS!! What a great prize!

For my creation this week, I have chosen INKY IMPRESSIONS image “MarLeigha's Ornament Dance.”   Since Halloween is almost over (with today being Halloween), I decided to do a Christmas creation.  I have colored my stamped image with Copics and Sakura glaze pen then cut out with scissors.  DP is from Kaisercraft and CS from Bazzill.  I added Prima pearls and lace from Hobby Lobby, tree die cut is Cottage Cutz and inner circle cut with Lifestyle Crafts die.  Sure hope you like it and that you will come play along at INKY IMPRESSIONS CHALLENGE!!
