My First Mo Manning Challenge! Or should I say Bronte and Bella Challenge?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Mo Manning's images.  And finally got around to using a few on my cards. I love this image of Bella and Bronte.  Loved making the card.  Wanted to enter it into Challenge 116 on the Bronte and Bella Challenge Blog.  The theme for this challenge is Anything Goes... so here I go to enter it!!  Enjoy!!

CDAC Progressive Challenge 9 and Pringles!

Here is my card for Crafter's Digital Art Center's Progressive Challenge Number 9.  The image I chose to use is the snow globe from Crafty Ann's.  Isn't it cool?  I have always wanted to try a snow globe and now I had a good reason to do it! (why I LOVE LOVE LOVE Challenges!!).  I used some wrapping paper with snowflakes on it for the base of the snowglobe and for the background of the calendar.  I also used it to cut out my 'snowflakes' - which is really a flower punch (shhhhhh.. don't tell anyone!).  I was stumped as to how to make the globe look globe-like so I could fill it with glitter and tiny itty bitty beads and more glitter!  My smart, dear, wonderful always inventive husband came up with the idea of using a Pringles can lid!!!  WHO WOULDA THOUGHT?? Not me for sure. SO I resized my globe to fit the lid (good ole Printmaster can't be beat for that stuff!).  And once I had my image done, I carefully poured the snow globe contents in and then glued the lid to the globe VERY CAREFULLY!  (I love Glossy Accents for stuff like that!).  And here we are... a SNOW GLOBE TO BE PROUD OF!!  The images are just things I had in my stash - if you need more detail I can try to find out for you! 
 Oh and the calendar idea I got from My Favorite Things.  She sent a newsletter with a freebie calendar template. Last year, my sister and I did card swaps. We would take turns picking a theme and then make a card and mail it to each other. This year we are making calendar pages for each other.  Mine is ready to be sent!!  Hope you enjoyed this.  Come back again!!

Open House at the Crafter's Cafe!

It's open house at the Crafter's Cafe and Jellypark has invited us to do a Thank You Challenge. Even providing us with this sweet little image!! I just LOVE her! Couldn't wait to make a card. Also used a dog from Penny Black. The fence stamp is one I have had for many years. And the "thank u" is a sticker set I have in my stash! Enjoy!

CDAC Progressive Challenge 8

This was a really fun challenge and I was hoping to do a lot more with all the cute images that were provided! I had some big plans, but time got away from me this month for some reason! So, here I am scrambling to get this done on time..ugh! But I do love the image I was able to use. It is from McMahon Five Designs. Thought it would make a cute anniversary card - so I flipped the image and made two! I colored it with glitter gel pens. Love the glow it gave! Used Glaze Pens for a little dimension on the bubbles. And a bit of glam in the corner. What fun! Come join us at Crafter's Digital Art Center and play along!
