Tellen's place challenge #2

Tellen's place had another freebie digtal image up for grabs and the challenge is to use red and green. How easy is that. Too bad the project I choose to create wasn't a quick simple project. Between fixing a Thanksgiving meal and chasing down my 1 year old I didn't finish this project as soon as I would have liked but here it is.

When I saw this image I instantly thought of the Christmas planner I've seen made from a file folder. I couldn't find the orginal creator when I went back to search but I did a variation of the planner using envelopes over at Heather Scott's website. She was kind enough to post the inserts to place in the planner. http://stampez.typepad.com/

The decorations on the inside of the planner are stamps from The Angel Company. The paper is from a retired paper pack from The Angel Company.

Top 3

So last week I made my first project using a digital image. I made the top three over at Tellen's Place!!! http://tellensplace.blogspot.com/

Tellen's first challenge

I found this super cute digi image at Tellen's Place. http://tellensplace.blogspot.com/2009/11/our-weekly-wednesday-challenge.html

This is my first venture into the digital world. I'm liking it.

I thought the saying was just perfect for my nugget box.

You really can't tell since I colored all of the robe pink including the cuffs, but I used Fun flock to make the cuffs of her robe fuzzy. Her slippers needed some extra pizzaz so I added a flower brad to each slipper. I also added a touch of Diamond Glaze to the coffee to make it look like liquid in the cup. If you like this image as much as I do go check out Tellen's Place to grab this image for yourself.

GS #15

Before the virus kicked me out of my blogger account I made a personal goal to post a card or a project at least 3 times a week. I guess I'm making up for lost time. 3 cards in one day. This card was made from a sketch at Get Sketchy http://getsketchy.blogspot.com/2009/11/gs-15.html

It went together super fast.
The paper is from SU! and the image is Wonderful Day from The Angel Company.

Challenge card

I had intended to get this card completed before today since both challenges were posted on Wednesday but somehow that just didn't happen. This card is for challenges from both http://dannisdreamscrafts.blogspot.com/2009/11/flutter-by-wednesday-84.html and http://craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.com/2009/11/crafty-creations-challenge42-metal-or.html

MOJO113

I jus love this penguin set from THe Angel Compnay called Perky Penguins. The patterned paper came from Polly Craft Designs.

FInally can access my blog again

Several months ago I used an application on Facebook and got a virus. Darn virus blocked me from certain websites, my blog was one of them. I could look at the blog but it wouldn't let me post anything. I finally found a computer tech. who figured out the issue and now I can access my blog again. Wahoo. Now to find all the stuff I'm been working on for hte past 6 months and get it loaded.

Alex

This cute little guy's name is Alex. He's another retired stamp from The Angel Company. I have a TON of stamps and finally decided that I need to get over m hangup of only using current sets. I can't part with any of my stamps but yet I don't use them because they are retired. Crazy. Since I finally decided to return to the stamps I love I've found I'm making more cards.
Anyways back to the card, the background is made using a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I inks the folder using my Kaleidascope pad and a brayer, placed the paper inside then ran it through my Big Shot. I still need to perfect the technique because there is ink in the raised sections which should be completely white. The buttons are a sizzix die that I applied Crystal effects over to make it look like a glossy button. Alex is colored in with watercolor pencils.

Monkey business

This cute little monkey was a stamp of the month at one point. I finally inked him up and this is the card I came up with. The background is a free download from The Angel Company, I loaded the paperi into Photoshop and changed the color from black to brown.

oriental card

I"m still not completly happy with this card. I like all my elements I'm just not sure they look good together.

This card used a retired TAC set called The Arts and a current set Asian art. I embossed the flowers and hte butterfly then used my Twinkling H2O'sto color in the image.

As I was dgging through my old stamp sets I found a frog set that has a cattails seet. I do beleive that will be the set I try with the brayered sunset. That's asssuming my 7 month old will entertain himself long enough for me to get it done.
