Barbara: The Crafty Pad Challenge

Our next Challenge at The Crafty Pad is Anything Goes. This challenge will run from December 19th until December 28th. This week all the DT members used the lovely Snow globe Image available HERE at the crafty pad stamp designs blogspot.  I chose to design an ornament using this adorable image.

This really was a simple project. After coloring the digital image, I sprinkled it with glitter to highlight the snow. I used a gold doily behind the image. I then scored the DP on the Score Pad and folded it like a fan. I used two strips of paper 1"x12", joined together after folding, then glued to a circle. I inserted a hanger with a needle in the green DP.

Barbara: The Creative Cowgirls

Thank you for joining The Creative Cowgirls for their second challenge. We were pleased that so many crafters joined us for our first challenge. This week we are sponsored by: tellens place

The challenge this week is Anything Goes!

I designed this card using one of the images from Tellens Place. Since the girl is listening to music, I thought the music notes with the imposed Happy Birthday was appropriate. Of course I had to add just a little "Bling." It is difficult to see in the picture but her blouse was paper pieced. However, the DP was too light so I colored over it. You can still see some of the print which makes it interesting. I am trying to learn to shade my images.  By looking at all the wonderful cards on line, I have learned so much :) The inside verse says, "You'll always be young at heart."

Recipe:

Image: Tellens Place, Music notes: free digital image

Sentiment: Jo Ann Fabric's vellum phrases

DP: Around the block

Bling: Recollections Embossed Stickers

         Gelly Roll Pen

Colored: Copic Markers

Punch: EZ

The winner of this Second Challenge at creative cowgirls challenge will receive:

Our theme this week is ANYTHING GOES!!!  

This is an easel card, a very easy design to make. I used one of Debbie's images from: The Crafty Pad.  I just love anything Snowman!! The first picture is a close up of the cover of the card. You can see the embellishments that I used and my attempt at shading plus nothing is complete without a little "bling!" I love the verse that I found...really compliments the image. I think this sentiment is from: create with tlc
