Inky Impressions - Photo Inspiration Challenge


Happy Wednesday everyone and welcome to another challenge at Inky Impressions!!  This week the inkettes would love to see what you can create using this photo as your inspiration


and here is my take on the photo




My card today uses "Nickie's birdie" which I just took black ink and stamped it on craft paper (Love this look and definitely need to do this a little more often LOL).  The papers are Basic Grey "Pryus" which is also found at the Inky Store...added some inky blooms and inky dinky drops to finish it off.

Now make sure you head on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team has created for you and to join in on the fun!!

My card was entered into the following challenges:

Paper Take Weekly - Anything Goes (+ a bit of bling if you like)
ColourQ -  Color Challenge
Partytime Tuesdays - Photo Inspiration*

The Pixie Cottage - Christmas and/or Sketch challenge

Welcome to my very first post with Pixie Cottage!  I am very excited to be working with Michelle and the rest of the team for the next term.  For this week's challenge, the Pixie's would love to see your CHRISTMAS cards and or use the following sketch


For my project today I decided to make a gift tag for Christmas and will actually be making more of these :)  My image I used is Playful Penguins (which also happens to be on sale right now ;) )


I stamped the image on craft paper and added a little glitter to the snow and colored in the pom poms with a white gel pen.  I really wanted to keep it simple as this will be used on the present for one of Abby's day care friends :)

Now head on over to the blog to see what the rest of the team has created for you and to join in on the fun!

I've been published!!

OMG I am SO excited that I can barely sit still!  I got an email from Crafting Ireland today stating that my card is being published in their online magazine today!  You can find the magazine here, my card is on page 31!

So here is my card that was selected:



Image used is Delilah's Ducky Christmas from Inky Impressions.  This image is super adorable and was a lot of fun to color in :)

Digital Delights - Inspiration

Happy Halloween everyone!  I am finally back to normal after having my computer crash over a week ago and then having to reinstall everything back on...ugh that totally sucked!  However I'm back and will be posting like normal again :0

Today over on the Digital Delights blog, it's my turn to be in the spotlight :)  For my project today I used a couple of items from the Digital Delights store.  Fist my ornament card is a template that Wendy offers and can be found here and the reindeer is from the 3D Decopouge line.  I didn't do as many layers that is offered but I really like how it turned out.  The papers aren't from the store but the Kids Christmas digital papers are very close to the one I used on this project.
