Wine Bottle Tag .. but I have no wine!.

Good morning! Happy Sunday! Yesterday was a good day. A pretty lazy day. I got a bit coloring done, but not as much as I would have liked. I'm hoping to finish what I wanted to today. That is the plan today.. color and create. Work again tomorrow means not doing much today!  Hope you have a great day!!

A different make for today:






For this wine tag I used a Whiff Of Joy image. I colored this up with pencils... Prismacolor or Faber-Castell Polychromos. I did a bit of layering on this image. I added a few gems and a few pearls to this tag. It was all cut using the Silhouette Cameo. I didn't have a wine bottle LOL I hate wine!  Bllllechh!  So I used my water bottle :D

Music Man ... errr.. Rat!*

Good morning! A very happy Friday to you!! I am working at home today and I have to try to get through a bunch of emails. I can't seem to make them go away! LOL  That is a big part of what I will be working on today. I've told my husband that he should go for a drive with his dad. It would be a good day for it. It would be more fun then sitting here watching me work! We will see what he decides to do :) I am so excited that the weekend is beginning! I have some serious coloring to do :)  Have a great Friday everyone!!

Here is my make for today:






I love different folds and I thought this was a fun one. I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut this. The image is from Whiff of Joy. I colored him with pencils.. who knows if it was the Prismacolor or Faber-Castell Polychromos. I really need to take better notes! I added some white highlighting to the instrument. The sparkly paper is from Michaels; I fell in love with it and I thought it would go perfectly some how with this image. I added the musical notes around the card. I also added a bit of stitching and the layered cut flowers; I used the Silhouette Cameo to cut these flowers. For the center I added a sparkly brad. I loved the scripture for this card, so I arranged and printed it for both sides. Hope you like it!

Whiff of Joy

Good morning everyone!!!  Today is my oldest daughter's birthday and she is the big 2-1 today!! Wow!!! I can't believe it! She is up at school, so I won't get to see her, but I hope to get up there soon or her down here. Happy Birthday Taylor!!

So, today I am posting my first post for Whiff of Joy for March. I have created two cards using this image:













The image I used is Football Ben which you can find in the Whiff of Joy shop. I colored this image with my Prismacolor Pencils. And I went with an Aussie color scheme .. I was thinking about my husband playing soccer hehehe And he was all cute blonde when he was younger. I didn't do any layering with him, but I had two images so I decided to make two cards. The only difference on these two are the sentiments. They are both Thank You cards, but the second one is Thank You Coach. All of the papers are from my scrap box... took me forever to find that net paper.. I knew I had some in there though! I remembered using it a long time ago LOL. I distressed the smaller square under the image. The soccer ball is a My Favorite Thing die cut and I colored some of it with my black pencil. I added the black buttons and the black ric rac. I thought the yellow and green gems would look nice as well, so I threw those on as an after though. I decorated the inside with the same papers and used up that net paper. I had some fun coloring these images... I'm trying to work out the layering a bit more.

Whiff of Joy December Post #1

Good morning everyone!! Can you believe the weekend is over already? We had a pretty quiet, nice weekend. We watched V8 racing, my oldest daughter came down for a visit, Kevin and I went out to Dinner with my previous Boss on Saturday night and that is pretty much it!  It was a nice weekend. Too bad it is over! I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

Today I am posting my first Whiff of Joy project for December. For this card I decided to go with a Friendship Card:

I added some twine and ribbon, a Sizzix die cut, a Cheery Lynn swirl die cut, and some flowers. The paper in the back is spritzed with several different paints and embossed. The bear and bee are colored with Copic Markers and a small amount of decoupage was done.
