Just A Note.......

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday on my blog and that can only mean one thing!!! i{heart}copics on PCP challenge. This week we were given a recipe to follow. Use copics on your project, 2 designer papers and 3 embellishments. Here is what I came up with!!!

I used a wonderful image from The Chicken Girl Designs that you can get along with just about everything else including the copics to color with at i{heart}papers. Take a look around, I am certain you will find tons! I thought the trio was just darling and would brighten anyone's day that received it in the post!  Colored with my copics of course and just a touch of glossy accents to give it a bit of shine on parts.  I thought the paper with the musical notes was fitting both with the image and the sentiment. I finished my card with my 3 different embellishments. A trio of black brads, a checkered bow and a trebble clef (think that is what it is called). Anyway I thought it fit the theme!

Copics:

Cat and Flute: C1, C3, C5, C7

Dog and Guitar: E25, E27, E29, E33

Bird: B00, B12

I hope you will all pop on over and give this challenge a try too!

Thanks A Bunch.......

I say those 3 words many times but want to start out my post today again with "Thanks a bunch" to everyone who takes time out of their busy life to come to my blog and support me by leaving comments.  I truly appreciate each and every one of you!

Welcome to another week of wonder from the Digi Doodle Shop's Best! This week we have "ANYTHING GOES" as our challenge. I know you all love those kind of challenges.  Anything at all will fit!  So show us your stuff!

All of the girls on the DT have been working so dang hard to give you inspiration so hop on over and take a look at what they did and then leave them a little lovin! On a sad note we had to say goodbye this week to one of our best. Michelle is leaving for personal reasons and I want to wish her the very best in her upcoming adventure!! You will be missed.......

I chose the Rose Fan this week for my project and colored it with copics and then glazed the fan part with glossy accents.  I made my grunge rose embellishment with a tute that I found with the same method as the Tim Holtz style but using your cricut instead of a sizzix die. The tute can be found HERE. I then sprayed it with a home made red glimmermist and made some leaves to match. The sentiment was an old Stampin' Up stamp.

Copics:

Roses: R22, R27, R29

Leaves: G14, G17, G24

Luxurious Touche..........

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday on my blog and that can only mean one thing!!! i{heart}copics on PCP challenge. This week we were given a picture for inspiration.  We could make any kind of project we would like as long as we used our copics and pulled our inspiration from this lovely picture.

As you can see it has many elements to pull from so after much thought this is what I came up with.

I used one of my newest images from ©ching-chou kuik's Light of Beautitude. You can get her at Sweet Pea Stamps. I was so very lucky to have received mine as a gift for my Birthday from my dear friend Harriet! Thanks again!!!  I of course colored her with my copics and you can get yours the same place I do at i{heart}papers.  I added a few touches of glitter and glossy accents and then placed her on a Spellbinders classic frame that was cut and then embossed with gold embossing.  Ribbon and swirls along with a Hero Arts butterfly complete the look.  What do you think? Did I pull enough elements from the inspiration piece???

I hope you will join us and give it a try yourself!!! I just know it will be LUXURIOUS!!!!

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday????

I keep seeing people do this on their blog and every week I keep saying I am going to do it but, I get busy and don't.  Well this week I promised my good friend Hart I would so here it is.  As you can see my studio is in my basement and we do not have walls yet!  My hubby has made me my main desk and it was made out of 20 - 2x4's set on their side and then sanded down and polished to be like glass.  I tell you a hurricane or tornado could probably hit and this desk would still be standing! It is 10 feet long and I use every inch of it!!! This is about 1/4 of it.  To the right is my TV.  On this picture you get to view my lifeline, my PC.The little lady bug on top of my flat screen was a gift from my twin daughters (my little lady bugs) and I always have it near me. See all the sticky notes on it? Whenever I see a new product I want or a new copic color I must have I jot it down on my sticky note. I also got a pic of my favorite tool my magnifying light.  I am getting old and my eyesight is getting bad even with glasses.  This thing is MAGIC!!! I color looking through it and even the smallest detail is able to be seen.  The best investment I have made.  I am working on my i{heart}copic project and just pulled out some copics that I am going to use so they are laying in front of me along with a Sweet Pea image that I got for my Birthday from my dear friend Harriet.

Well that is about it.  Not to damaging.  Let me tell you it does not always look this clean!!!  You will find this along with all the rest of the peoples desks at The Stamping Ground.

Dream.........

I have just been introduced into the world of Alice lately and have been intrigued! I find myself now looking at many of the images I have and seeing them in a different light!  The one above will be an example of just that.  I am entereing her into a few challenges and you will see what I mean.

First of all I started out with an inspiration piece to work with from the Oh Alice! challenge blog! It is the Mad Watch!

I then looked and decided to use one of the lovely faces from my ©ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection sheet 14. You can find them at Sweet Pea Stamps.  I also decided to use the sketch from the Sweet Pea Stamper challenge blog.

So when I put the two together I came up with my final Kreation!!! I hope you like!!!

I colored the image with my copics and then I found some clock hands on the net and made them and attached with a brad.  I went digging through my hubby's work shop and found the gears to mimic the watch and added those.  I found an old chain that I had and attached through an eyelet.  At the end of the chain I put a blue butterfly to remind us of how Absolem (the blue caterpillar)changes to a butterfly at the end of the movie. The blue flower, ribbon and the bow are all made from my home made crinkle seam binding ribbon. I topped off the entire project with the sentiment "DREAM" since that is what she had thought she was doing the entire time. Dreaming!!!!!  

I am also going to enter this into the June challenge on the Sweet Pea blog. Anything goes!!!

Other Challenges:

Crafty Angels - favorite stamps
