Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #64 - Seeing Red!!!

Good Afternoon everyone,

Well I am back again this week I missed last week because of a sick husband. But I am back this week to take part in the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #64 Seeing Red. It being so close to Valentines day I could not resist but to do Josephine, I just love her. I used Valentine paper that I got from Michael's Craft Store some years ago and The buttons I have been collecting for awhile with a little help from my mom who had a ton. I coloured her with copics. I don't have a list of the colours I used because I did her at work in my down time between calls. I will have to try and make sure to write them down in the future. Anyways I hope that you like her. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #61

Hi All,
Well it is time for another Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge so here are the details on this weeks challenge:
Now this week's challenge is brought to us by our newest Krafty Girl, the Amazing ANGIE!!! The challenge is called Fancy Florals and Angie wants us to use flowers on our creations.....flowers in your paper, in your image, flower embellishments, flower charms, punches or die cuts!

I figured that I would do another fairy stamp not only because I love them so much but because it is going to be part of a set that I send to my cousin who was in the hospital through Christmas and was not released till New Years and still has a very long road to recovery. She has tons of people that she wants to send thank you cards to so this will be just one of the bunch I send for her to use.

Anyways this is a short post today as I have to be off and running into the universe to get everything done before the weekend. Hope you all have a great day.

Oriental Card

Good Morning everyone,

Today I am posting an oriental card that I made using stickers and rub-ons. I had these stickers for sometime now and could never figure out how to mount them up on a card so that would look different and cool. Till, that is, my friend Shirley gave me some oriental rub-ons to try. And here is the end result.
I coloured it with Copics and ran the paper through the cuttlebug. I think the hardest part of doing this card was getting the semi circle corners cut out so that they would layer up correctly.
I hope you like it.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Giraffe on Suede Board

Good Morning everyone,

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I hope that you got everything you wished for. Today I am posting something a little different from my normal. My mother back in the summer gave me a kit for colouring on suede board with prisma pencil crayons. The instant I saw it I fell in love and knew this would be a perfect Christmas gift for my sister who loves Africa and giraffes. I am not going to kid any of you it was a learning curve. Here are the end results, I was going to post a picture of it framed but the glare from the glass made it hard to see so you get the unframed version instead. I would love any input on what you think of it.

I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday.
Thanks for stopping by

Christmas trees

Hi All,
Well I am finally back on line, my wonderful husband gave me my Christmas present early, a laptop! Now I am able to post with ease and after all the hand surgeries and recovery time I am back up and running.
Today I have a snow day because the travel into work is to dangerous because of whiteout conditions so I get to stay home and play. These are what I have been working on. The Christmas trees have been fun to do I get to play with a bunch of different trinkets to decorate the trees. Also it helps use up some of the bling that I have around my craft room. Hope you like them.
Thanks for stopping by.
