BLUE CHRISTMAS


Welcome to another fortnightly challenge at 


Our challenge is to use this sketch


We are sponsored by Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

 Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

The image I am using is called "Lonely This Christmas".  Because of the name I thought I would make it a Blue Christmas.  I wanted to add some different colors in the image though.  But as I was coloring I was extremely stuck on the colors to use for the gloves and jacket. 

 I went to my sister's house so my daughter could do her chores to earn her lovely i phone and decided to take my card to craft.  My sister helped me get the colors picked and since she has a copious amount of Copics and enough crafting supplies to open her own store, I got to use some lovely things.  She even happened to get some new Anna Griffin embossing folders so I got to use one.  Isn't it gorgeous!

As for the rest of items I used, the papers are all generic, the die is Spellbinders, ribbon from American Crafts, the snowflakes are Jolee's and the sentiment created on Word. 

I hope you will go over to the CWWC challenge blog and join us for a chance to win some great digis.  Please make sure to check the rules at the top of the blog and see all the wonderful creations that have been made to inspire you.

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN W/SATURATED CANARY


 Has it been two weeks already?  Welcome to another fortnightly challenge at 


We are sponsored by one of my fave artists Krista from Saturated Canary

Saturated Canary

 I just love her images!  I picked "Sisters Back To School".   I thought it would be nice to use since it is back to school season and I needed a card for my youngest sister's birthday.  I won't say how old she is because it may give my own age away.  

Our challenge is "Seasons".  The season I chose is Fall.  I've colored with my Copic and Whisper Strokes markers.  Then added some Glossy Accents and Stickles.  I love the shine and sparkle.  Here is the inside.


The sentiment on front is from Desert Diva and the inside is from Create with TLC.  I've used some Tim Holtz distress ink.  The papers I picked come from Basic Grey, Bazzill (embossed), and some generic.  The ribbon is from C&G and the lovely flower is a Christmas gift from Ruza, a former DT buddy from another site.

   Please head over to the CWWC blog and check out all the other creations for inspiration.  I hope to see you in the challenge this week.

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN W/KENNY K


Welcome to another fortnightly challenge at 


Our challenge is "Repeated Image" and we are sponsored by KENNY K!

This image is called "Baseball Digi Stamp".   I've used Copic and Whisper Strokes markers to ink them up with.  They are colored with the colors of the teams.  The papers are from Bazzill and Create With TLC.  I did the sentiments on Word. 

I grew up in a small town called Vermilion.  People in this town were very serious about their sports.  We even had one of the best football teams around in my high school years.  We were also serious about our nemesis, Amherst.  We even held bonfires every year before the football season started to burn a dummy in an Amherst uniform. My feelings about Amherst were torn as I had my favorite cousin living there. 

Now I live in Amherst.  Funny isn't it.  My daughter attends high school here and the feud does not exist anymore.  When I saw this image though and our challenge of "Repeated Image", I thought about the feud of my childhood.  I decided to use the feud as the basis for the card. 

I hope you enjoyed this card and don't forget to check out the wonderful creations made by our DT over at CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN.  I hope to see you in the challenge!
