Just Another Birthday Card!.

Good morning! It is Wednesday! I just need to get through today and I'll be off until next Monday LOL! I just need to get through today! I'm not sure what we will be doing this weekend, maybe just some day trips. It doesn't really matter what we do... I will not be at work and that is good enough!

My cut foot is pretty much healed. Two of the stitches fell out the other day. I have one stitch left and I'm thinking I'll take that out tomorrow. It is pretty much healed up.

I am sharing another birthday card with you today. I don't think you can ever have enough LOL Here it is:








On this awesome Meljen's image I used Copic Markers to color. I did a bit of layering on this image. I've added some glitter for sparkle. I've also added some paint dots, gems, pearls and sequins for fun. This is another colorful, fun card. Well... That was what I was aiming for! I die cut around the image and then added a doily underneath. All of the additional circles are die cut as well. The sentiment is stamped using a Paper Smooches sentiment.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Cupcake Holder: YG11, YG13, YG17
  • Bunny: RV10, RV13, RV21
  • Cheeks and Ears: R00, R20, R22

Last Meljen's Post Ever :(

Good morning everyone!!  Happy Tuesday! Today is my very last post at Meljen's Post ... EVER! I'm so sad about it too :(  I always love working with Meljen's images and I'll still continue to use them. But to think this is it! I have absolutely LOVED being on the Meljen's DT Team; I would have never left on my own accord; They would have had to boot me out! It was the best team! And Melissa is an amazing artist! I know she will do well in anything she does!

Alright... for my last post I wanted to continue to work on my little Christmas Song Album. This is my little album out of paper bags.. it's coming along. I only have one more page after this to complete it and the cover and back cover. Here it is:






For this one I have chose 'Mary Did You Know' as the song. I colored the image with my Copic Markers. This is Nativity Joseph and Mary Bears. I did a small amount of decoupage on the image. I've added some small red and green flowers and put black pearls as their center. On the 2nd page I layered two lighter green blooms on top of one another and made a center out of three small bells, green, red and gold. All of the white papers are inked with Sepia. On the 2nd page the song lyrics are printed. The papers I used are all scraps from my scrap boxes!  Still trying to use them as much as I can!

Copic Markers Used: 
  • Tan Clothing: E40, E41, E42
  • Blue Clothing: B0000, B000, B00, B01
  • Joseph: N3, N5, N7, N9

MelJen's Designs Glitters In Gold

Good morning everyone! Boy .. this has been a busy week!!  Monday I had doctor appointments... Tuesday was Lacrosse practice with Bailey... Wednesday was get Kevin to the DMV so he could officially get his Car Drivers License... he had the motorcycle, just hadn't taken the test for the car. The lady told him that he would be the best she had that day and that he should stay and teach everyone else LOL!!  Then it was take care of the tags for the bikes which ended up a nightmare because my daughter some how transferred everything to a different county... Then it was Support Group night. It was a busy Wednesday!!  Today is Lacrosse practice again!!  LOL What a week! I hope everyone is having a great one!! We are closer to the weekend!! Woot! Woot!!

Today we are on Challenge #251 at Meljen's Designs and our theme for this challenge is All That Glitters Is Gold (use gold). Here is what I have come up with:









I had so much fun with this challenge. I thought it was going to be hard to add gold, but I had a lot more gold than I realized. And with gold, I thought this would be the perfect time to throw in a Christmas card! For this one I used two images, Jingle All The Way and Jingle Bell. I colored these images with my Copic Markers, but with Jingle Bell I did a bit of piecing with gold paper. So, the top layer of the bell is printed on gold paper. The Jingle Bell image is also layered a bit. I added some details with a white pen as well. I added gold star paper on the bottom and gold ribbon to add a bit more gold. Then, I did some dots around Jingle All The Way with my Gold Liquid Pearls. I'm thinking I did okay adding the gold :) And this is my very first Christmas card for 2015!!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Holly: G20, G21, G24, G28
  • Berries: R24, R35, R59
  • Ribbon and Bow: R22, R24, R29

Open-Minded Winners Challenge #26 and Midway Challenge #27

Good morning everyone! What's been going on? We are well on our way in the process of purchasing a home! We will close on the 22nd of January. This weekend our plan is to get the kitchen packed up and only leave the bare medium out for us to use. Other than that, I'm hoping to craft!

Today is Saturday and our winners for Challenge #26 are posted this morning at Open-Minded Crafting Fun! That was our All White Challenge and our sponsors for Challenge #26 were Digital Delights, Jessica Weible Illustrations, Paper Pretties, Sami Stamps and Sassy Studio Designs. Be sure to check out our Winners and DT Favorites!

And we are on a midway post for Challenge #27: New Years Resolutions!! You still have a week to get in our first challenge of 2015!! Our sponsors for Challenge #27 are:



I love our sponsors! And I want to thank our wonderful sponsors for everything they do!!

Here is my project for Challenge #27:







For the Midway Challenge #27 I have created this Cascade Card! I chose to do a Christmas Card for my New Years Resolutions. I have three of them! One is to start shopping for Christmas gifts starting at the beginning of the year! I want to purchase Christmas gifts all through the year so it doesn't hit us all at once at the beginning of the year! So, that is one New Years Resolutions! The second one is to work on Christmas Cards all year long! I think I did okay last year getting a bunch of Christmas cards done through the year and I want to stay on track and do it again this year! So, this is my start! First Christmas card of 2015! And the third one is to use a LOT of my scrap papers this year! I have a ton of scraps and I want to get through a bunch of them! For this card I have used ALL scraps except for the base of the card!  So there you have it... Three New Years Resolutions to work on this year!! :)

For this card I've used Little Present from Zuri Artsy Craftsy Digital Stamps! i colored her with both my Copic Markers and my Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol, with a bit of Copic Opaque White for highlights.. I had a lot of fun making this Cascade card. This is the fist time I've created one of these! I've used a couple of different Spellbinders circles dies. I did a bit of decoupage on her as well. I added the holly swirl from Cheery Lynn. And the green and red gems around the circle. The fabric holly leaves were from a Challenge win! I stamped the Merry Christmas, which is from Paper Smooches, twice and put them on the different layers of the card. And that is it! I hope you join us for our challenge!!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13
  • Hair: E21, E25, E27, E29

Happy New Year With Meljen's Designs!!

Good morning again everyone! And a very Happy New Year :)  I'm hoping to spend my day just crafting!  We will see if that works out how I plan LOL!! It doesn't normally!

For today, we are on Challenge #241 at Meljen's Designs! We are starting off with an easy Anything Goes Challenge to start back our challenges and to start the New Year :)









For this challenge I worked on another page of my little mini bag album with the Christmas Carols theme. This song is The Friendly Beasts and I thought it was fitting for the Nativity Donkey and Nativity Camel. You can find both of these at the Meljen's Shop individually or you can find in the Nativity Set. I really love this set :)

I colored the images with my Copic Markers and I did a very small amount of decoupage on them. All of the papers are scraps! Let's see if I can use scraps all of January! LOL  I cut a Cheery Lynn's swirl die a couple of times and inked the edges of the white paper used.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Camel and Donkey Cheeks: R20, R22
  • Camel Fur: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E49

Happy December everyone!! Only two Meljen's posts this month! I was lucky enough to grab one of the DT Days! And then my Thursday Challenge Post!  Today is my DT Inspiration!  Hope you all have a wonderful day!!







Okay.. let me explain.... LOL  This is my work in progress. I wanted to do a mini bag album with the Meljen's Nativity set. This is the first double page layout of this album.

And the image is Nativity Shepherd's Sheep which you can of course find in the Meljen's Designs Shop!! Stay tuned for other pages as they come.. and when I finish it off I will send photos of the completed album and pages :) The image was colored with my Copic markers and a bit of decoupage done. Some of the papers were inked, others distressed. I used a border punch of stars on this page and used some of the punched out stars as embellishments as well. I also added some ribbon.The vines are Cheery Lynn die cuts and the banner is a Sizzix die cut. All of the papers are scraps from last years Christmas papers!
