Your Special Day

This is post number 3 for today. Dang I didn't realize I'd have to do them all today. I'm gonna keep these last two short and sweet!

I used Mo's Digital Pencil Too's image "Bride and Groom", colored with Prisma's and designed with my Swirlydoo's Kit. I followed the MOJO Monday sketch and did it all in white for Colour Create.

Fall Leaves and Announcement!!

Here's my second post for today. This image is "Acorns" and it's from the Digi Doodle Shop. It's that time of year when the trees start changing and the temperature drops and we can smell that wonderful fall aroma. We're FINALLY experiencing some cooler weather. We haven't been over 80 in the last couple days and it's been so nice.

I colored it with my Prisma's. The design paper is from my Swirlydoo kit. I embossed the cardstock with some vines and added some green ribbon to match the leaves. Then I cut some leaves to add to my Prisma petals and finished it off with some green gems. I really loved this sketch. It was very easy to do and I love the finished look of it.

Now for my BIG news! I was accepted on the Hodge Podge Design Team! My first design team EVER! I'm so excited. I know the work of several of the other DT's as well and you are in for a treat. The challenges are starting on October 7th here. Pop over and get some images so you're ready to play! Here's the shop. I've been working on some cards, but you'll have to wait to see them! He He He

Thanks!

Christmas Wishes

Good morning and a happy Thursday to all! Today I have a Christmas card (yes, I'm frantically trying to get those done too!). This is "lantern girl" from Whiff of Joy. I just love the flow of her dress in this image. It would great to paper piece too, but I haven't attempted that technique quite yet. I colored her with my prisma's. Honestly I only have the small bos so I have to use my crayola and rose art too. They don't blend as nicely but they're gettin the job done in a pinch. They helped on this image anyway. I added a touch of glossy accents to her lantern. I found some snowflake eyelets which I added a touch of Pearl Pen to the middles. I used papers from my Swirly Kit and dristressed all the edges. I put a touch of lace for some softness and added a cream prima flower.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my creation!

Free Spirit

Good morning and a happy Sunday to all. I hope you are enjoying this sunrise. It's not hot yet this morning and so nice. We enjoyed a couple days of rain that we desperately needed.

I have for you this morning a card I like to refer to as "Free Spirit". It doesn't have a sentiment yet because my printer ran out of ink last night. I used the sweet image from Mo's called "Sweet Fairy Puddle". I think this image just eminates the freedom and spirit of a child. That frog isn't the cutest thing but paired with that cute fairy how could you not love it.

I followed the sketch at MOJO Monday. I framed my image with frame3 from the sentimentals cartridge. I cuttlebugged the brown cardstock and the tag, which I added a prima flower to. My patterned papers and prima flower are from my Swirlydoo's kit as well as the cardstock this time. I added a few sparkles for a little pop and there you have it.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sweet Bear and Mouse

Hey there - Have a cute easel card I made today for several challenges. This image is "Bear and Mouse" made by Beccy at Beccy's Place. She is very talented and has many freebies she shares with all. Her images are just adorable. Do stop by and leave her some love.

At Charisma Cards we were to make an easel card. I did that following the sketch from Critter Sketch's Challenge. The image was colored with my prisma's. All paper and embellishments are from my Swirlydoo Kit. Those can be found here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Devilish Donna!

I am enjoying these Kenny K images SOOOOOOO much! They're so full of energy and fun. Who wouldn't get a smile on their face after receiving a card with one of these "nasty" girls on it - LOL (I don't mean to offend anyone.) I made this card up for several challenges going on this week. (See below) I used "Devilish Donna", I thought she would be perfect for several of the challenges requiring wings. Everything on my card is from my May Kit from Swirlydoos. I even used the shimmerz (first time) on her wings to bling them up a bit. I added the feather for a little something extra behind the image. I think it finished it off good. I used the scraps I cut off the bottom to decorate the inside of the card. The colors in the picture are a little off. My camera didn't take a very good picture. It's that Devilish Donna at it again! You know who you are!!

Simon Says Stamp wanted you to design your card around a song. For some reason I couldn't get "Barracuda", Pat Benatar out of my head, not quite what you would expect but you'd have to be in my head to understand my thinking!

I've been really into vampire's lately. I just finished the Anita Blake series, by Laurell K. Hamilton and now I'm trying to find something else to move onto. Any suggestions let me know!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate you taking the time to do it and leave me a comment. Happy Thursday night or Friday morning, whichever it is for you!

Hugs - Jen

Quick Valentine for you!

Happy Valentines Day one and all. Just wanted to post the card I made for my valentine. He's been by my side forever. We've been married 20 years and are happier today than we were back then. I feel like the luckiest girl in the whole world. Times are hard right now but we spent our day together just enjoying the time we have together and thankful for another day and another year. When your with the one you love you can endure anything! Hope ya'll enjoy what's left of our special lovers day.

I used my cricut, glitter and the paper is from my February Swirlydoos Kit.
