You're how old?

Hi again!
     I'm here today with my DT card for the Through The Craftroom Door Anything Goes Challenge.  Our sponsor this week is SK Digi's and I've used the Mouse image.  When I first saw the image all I could think of was "You're how old?" because of the expression on his face.  So I created a thought bubble in Word and made him a her. 

I used Glossy Accents on the eyes, nose and mouth

Stop by the TTCRD challenge blog to see what the other talented ladies have come up with or even join our Anything Goes challenge!

Until next time!
Hugs,
Kathi

Be unique...

Hi everyone  :)

Time for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create!   As usual it's Anything Goes but this week the optional twist is to use a school supply in your creation!  I had this awesome project all planned out in my head but as it often happens...life got in the way of my "therapy" time.  So I whipped this up instead.  I'll have to save the other idea for another time.  

Our sponsor this week is Lacy Sunshine Stamps

                           

I've used the In the Garden digi bits  which comes with butterflies, dragonflies and snail images.  Here is what I came up with

Hope you can stop by and see what the other talented ladies have come up with and maybe enter your project!    Til next time!         

Hugs,

Kathi

It's time for another Through The Craftroom Door challenge!  

This week we are sponsored by

Here is my DT card

I water colored two pieces of paper (blue/purples and green) then printed the digi.  I "fussy cut" the flowers and leaves out and glued the pieces on top of an image printed on white CS.  Just like a puzzle!  LOL!  The plum paper is from DCWV Shimmer Stack, the white with glitter design CS was a scrap I bought from a stamp store.  I used the Sizzix scalloped die and the Dainty Bow die by MFT.

The centers of the flowers are micro beads by Martha Stuart.  I put some Glossy Accents then poured the beads over it.  I did three layers this way so it is raised up.  I wrapped some cloth floral wire around the end of my pin tool and tucked them under the flowers secured with a little Glossy Accents (I love that stuff!!).  The crystals are Jolee's Hotfix Crystals.

I really like how this came out.  Let me tell you it's not easy fussy cutting water color paper!  LOL!  I hope you can stop by and see what my talented DT members have created or maybe you could join us at TTCRD for our Anything Goes Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Kathi

Hi everyone,
     I'm here today with my DT card for the Through The Craftroom Door  Anything Goes Challenge.  The roses were white so I colored the edges with a Copic then used the colorless blender to soften the lines.  Then I added Stickles to the edges.  I also colored the dotted CS with a matching Copic before cutting all of the leaves/swirl.  I used the Stickles on the dress and as earrings and champagne bubbles.

Thank for stopping by!

Hugs!

Hi everyone!
     It's time for another 613 Avenue Create challenge!  As usual it's Anything Goes but the twist is for a Male Someone Special.  This week  our sponsor is Limited Runs Digital Stamps.  I've used the Coffee2 image and paper pieced the cup.  The sentiment was a freebie which I forgot to label with the company name...I know my bad!  I searched who I thought it might have been but couldn't find it.

Guest Designer at Tammy's Scrapin' Corner!

Hi Everyone!

Today I am excited because I've been chosen to be the Guest Designer at Tammy's Scrapin' Corner!   The theme this week is Lots of Layers and she has two great sponsors, Bugaboo Stamps and SK Digis.  I chose the Flower Bud image by SK Digis.

I fussy cut the digi after coloring it with my Copics.  I also colored the back quickly in case it showed on the foam dots.  There are two layers of the large flower and I put a button and a pearl in the center of the top flower.  The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink and I used the VersaMagic Aegean Blue ink.  The patterned paper is by Pebbles called Family Ties "Sister".  The solid CS are from my stash.

The scalloped die is by Sizzix and there are two layers, yellow and teal.

I colored the foam dots using my Copics and the same colors as the flower and leaf so you couldn't see the white.  I explain that in this post HERE.  I attached the button and pearl with Glossy Accents.

 

Thank you Tammy for having me this week and thank you for stopping by!

Hugs,

Kathi

Zebra print & Bling Oh My!

Hi again!

I'm on a roll this week!  Another birthday at work this time my new office mate Jen.  She loves Zebra and pink so here's what I came up with...

Bugaboo digi "Attitude" colored with Prismacolor pencils + Gamsol, skin colored with Copics

Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Square, Star Dust Stickles on the edges, Black Diamond Stickles on the polka dots on dress and earrings, Glossy Accents on her glasses/lips/hair highlights

Jennifer cut with the Sizzix Sizzlits Script alphabet then coated with the Star Dust Stickles, Jolee's Hotfix Crystals which I've been adhering with the Glossy Accents.  I think that has a stronger bond.
