Ready Set Smile - with a New Challenge at Create and Inspire!

It's a new challenge at Create and Inspire - Are you ready to "create" with us??? The fabulous sponsors for this challenge is Oddball Arts and Rick St. Dennis.

We all know my infatuation with Alice in Wonderland AND Rick St. Dennis has an adorable image I knew just had my name written all over - Isabella as Alice with the Cheshire!!!


RECIPE and SUPPLIES:
  • size A2 card with Paperhouse Paper for the background both on the outside and inside
  • *** TIP: check for sales, I found a package of 25 A2 cards complete with envelopes at Michael's 3 packages for $5 which comes to approximately $1.66 each and just need your background paper!!!!
  • Isabella was colored using Prisma Colored Pencils, Whispers Markers with gel pen accents along with totally out-lining the image and puff-dotted on my card
  • flowers were from Edwina Brown with Queen & Co. purple pearl centers
  • sentiment, "READY SET SMILE it's your birthday!" from Create with TLC and can be found here at her Artfire Store was chalked around the edges
  • inside sentiment, "Age is just a value . . . the higher the age, the higher the value." from Create with TLC and can be found here at her Artfire Store was chalked around the edges


  • Now, it's your turn to create for the challenge - I can't wait to see your creative inspirations!!!!

Owl'll Be Seeing You

I've been in a tag making mode the past few days and today is a new file from Treasure Box Designs Treasure Tags Owl and Snowman!!! I used to collect owls and still do. When I saw this new file, I knew I needed to have this file and knew I just had to make a couple! I'm thinking these can be either tags and/or an ornament for on the tree along with maybe being a good idea for the upcoming craft bazaar! Aren't they just adorable???



RECIPE and SUPPLIES:
  • Treasure Box Designs Treasure Tags Owl and Snowman cut using Make the Cut with scraps which were chalked around the edges
  • tags measures approximately 5-1/2 inches tall
  • added white gel pen accents
  • carrot drawn on snowman
Thank you for stopping and visiting today and hope you come back again!!!

You're a Sweet One Mr. Grinch!

I've been in a tag making mode the past few days and pulled out a few files from Treasure Box Designs which had been freebies at one time or another!!! Today, I want to share with you the Snowman and Grinch which I had a great time creating adding a few touches of my own! I'm thinking these can be either tags and/or an ornament for on the tree along with maybe being a good idea for the upcoming craft bazaar! Aren't they just adorable???




RECIPE and SUPPLIES:
  • Treasure Box Designs Freebie Christmas Tags cut using Make the Cut and scraps which were chalked around the edges
  • tags measures approximately 5-1/2 inches tall
  • printed eyes which of course needed eyelashes 
  • carrot drawn on snowman
  • Queen & Co. red pearls were added to the holly berries which was not included in the original pattern but borrowed from the Freebie Angel Tag
  • and of course - blush on the cheeks!!!!

You know I'm not letting you off that easy as we do need a sing-a-long in honor of Mr. Grinch even though mine is a sweet one:


Thank you for stopping and visiting today and hope you come back again!!!
