With the
Simply Betty blog hop going on I decided to use "
Betty1" for my image today. She's just so cute and her adorable little cat is the perfect sidekick for my card. There was a color challenge and I did end up using black but I figured it was okay since the DT's did too. (Hope so!) I got a box of goodies in the mail today from one of my very first blog friends and it was chock full of goodies. The embellishments and punch I used were from there. The wordart is from
Bethany over at
Elegant WordArt 2. Bethany's been through some hard ties recently and could use an uplifting message if you have time to stop by. She offers her wordart for free every day and is so giving of herself. Sometimes we all need a little word of encouragement.
Nothin special today just wanted to pop in and say hi and post this. After yesterday's marathon I think I needed a break. LOL
Have a wonderful evening!

Post number 4 for today. I guess I could've waited on the last post. I didn't realize it was a two week challenge. ARgh.
This is my last post for today. It's been a busy one! LOL I used Mo's "
Baby Fairy Ayana". I actually colored her awhile back and just hadn't used her yet. These papers in my
Swirlydoo Kit were perfect. I made my own flowers using scraps of leftover paper. The sketch is from Sketch Saturday. Just beautiful. The sentiment is from
Create with TLC. I added lotsa sparkle to her wings and dress!
Thanks and have a wonderful evening!

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.
Challenges entered in:
Colour Create - All White with Embossing (I embossed my image before coloring)
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!

I have been fond of
Michelle Perkett images ever since I saw my blogger friend Debbie use them. She is so creative with them I just fell in love. So this is my very first attempt at one of her gorgeous girls. I decided since there was an Under the Sea challenge going on at
Magical Mondays that I'd use "
Princess Oceana" and combine them.
Lollipop and Michelle's both wanted bling and sparkle, I hope I accomplished that too.
I used my Prisma blues to color her hair and threw in a bit of green. Reminded me of seaweed. There's a fab tutorial by Marion
here that I followed. Then I used my Viva Pearl Pen on the "bubbles" and finished those off with Glossy Accents for a 3D look. Then I mounted her on this fab Basic Grey paper. Doesn't it look like fish scales?!! For the final touches I got out My Creative Scrapbook Kit and found some Prima's and gems that went perfect.
I really hope you like her. Thanks for stoppin by!

This card is entered in the following challenges:
Happy Tuesday Afternoon!
Just a quickie post! I used Tiddly Winks' "Fairy Fae Catches a Star" image today. I used a combination of Prisma browns and pinks to color this cute girl. Then I added Diamond Glaze and some gold glitter to her wings. I found some matching Prisma flowers and the ribbon and lace are leftover scraps from another project. The paper is Basic Grey. I embossed my cardstock for a base.
Thanks for taking a peek!
Hugs - Jen
