Going Green at The East Wind.

Good morning everyone! And a very happy Saturday and a very happy 1st of November! 1st of November!!!! Can you believe it!! I'm in shock!! This year seems to have flown by. And I should have had a bunch of Christmas shopping done already, but I don't have much of anything!

Alright... on to the new Challenge at The East Wind! We are on Challenge #18 and it is the first of the month. That means that we have our Freebie Challenge! If you haven't joined us at The East Wind, be sure you do!! And November's freebie is another AMAZING beauty from Kyra... Aurora Go Green! And what do we mean by Go Green? Well... you can use green on your project.. or you can recycle something... Or Both! LOL

I went with a Tri-Shutter Card for Aurora. I love creating these cards. All of the papers are scraps. I added a bit of green on her and a bit of green paper. She is all colored with Copic Markers. The two snowflakes are actually wood accents and they are loaded up with some gold glitter. I added gold and maroon-ish dew drops. The swirls are from a Memory Box die. My two recycled items are the photo slide frame in the center and the bottle cap towards the back. I added a wrap of black wire and a gold bell onto the photo slide frame. I pounded the bottle cap to flatten it and it gives it such a great design I think. Then I painted it with some gold paint. I put a circle "Merry Christmas" sentiment into the bottlecap and filled it with Diamond Glaze. The poinsettia was cut with my Cameo and layered. I added two sizes of pearls to the center to finish that off. I did do a little bit of decoupage on Aurora. I popped part of her hat, the front of her scarf, the front of her dress and the basket. I also used my Prismacolor Premier Fine Line Black Marker to add some detailing and shading to Aurora and I used some Copic Opaque White to add some detailing as well! :) Hope you like it!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

Trick or Treat at Meljen's Designs!.

Good morning! And a very Happy Thursday to you! I'm really ready for the week to be over! I have been coloring a bunch of images.. I'm hoping this weekend to get them on something! LOL Then I'll be good! I hope you all are having a crafty fun week!!

Today we are on Challenge #233 - Trick or Treat (Halloween) at the Meljen's Designs Challenge Blog! I LOVE Halloween cards and I LOVE using Meljen's Designs images to create them!! She has some of the best Halloween images! They are so fun! For this card I went with a kitty theme LOL!!

I used quite a few images for this card.. sticking with my Kitty Halloween theme. So, first is the sentiment stamp. That is a new stamp set from My Craft Spot. They had an amazing new release recently with some amazing stamps and dies! I stamped that with white on the dark purple. The image at the bottom is Mini Boo Ghosts. I decoupaged the stars spelling out Boo. I also added the green gems at the top. The next image is Fish or Treat Cat. I decoupaged the ghost part of him and the front fish. The swirls in the middle are from a Memory Box die that was cut a bit. I also added the black pearls. There are also four die cuts, a cauldron, ghost, tombstone and pumpkin which are Die-namics from My Favorite Things. The Trick or Treat Stamp is also from My Craft Spot and then the two additional images on the inside are Nibbles The Zombie Cat and Mummy Kitty. For Nibbles I decoupaged his body and those legs that are more to the front and then I popped his head one more level. For the Mummy Cat, I popped up his body. For the final panel I have the Cutie Corner Spider with the spider body popped and then Franken Kitty and his front legs and body are popped and then his head is also popped. I love these tri-shutter cards! I always seem to make one for Meljen's at Halloween!! LOL All of the papers are scraps from last years Halloween papers.I did add chalk to those four small die cuts as well. And all of these images were colored using my Copic Markers! And you can find ALL of these fantastic images at the Meljen's Designs Shop!

Happy Day At Meljens!.

Morning everyone... Happy Thursday... and a Happy MelJen's Challenge #184: Scaredy Pants!!! And Happy Halloween!!!

I've been spending this week getting ready for some of our sponsor spotlights on Open-Minded Crafting Fun and making some cards! I'm setting up a table at Bailey's school's Fall Festival on Saturday! I'm going to see if I can sell any of my cards! We'll see how that goes.. I've been trying to get some Christmas cards finished up. I ordered business cards, but I'm not sure they are going to get here in time. So, that is what I've been doing this week ;)

Here is my card for our Scaredy Pants Challenge!
