Been awhile...

It has been awhile since I have been blogging and have missed sharing my creations.  With my daughter's activities in full swing and having some health issues, my paper crafting and jewelry making took a back seat while adjusting.  I am slowly getting better and getting back to my creations and grateful to them as good therapy for me.

 I have been following Chi Chi Memories for awhile and love the digi designs!  I entered the sketch challenge and it was a fun one!  Below is the sketch and the card I created using the sketch.

Supplies:

 Bazzil cardstock

Basic Grey Olivia designer paper

Hero Arts sentiment inked with Memento's Lady Bug ink

CCM's Give You All My Heart image colored with Copics E00, R37, R20, E33 and W3 and cut out with Nestabilities large circle and large circle scallop

Thanks to my followers for your support as always!  Will see you soon!

Guest Designer for One Stop Craft Challenge - Oriental Delights

I was happy to volunteer to be a guest designer for One Stop Craft Challenge.  One Stop Craft Challenge does great challenges every week and I was glad to participate.

Robyn's Fetish is sponsoring this week's challenge called Oriental Delights.  The creation should have some kind of asian/oriental theme. 

For this challenge, I used RF's poppy fairy image.  She is such a sweet image and it worked well with the oriental theme. 

Below is my card I created for the challenge:

Supplies:

Bazzil cardstock

Best Creations Inc designer paper

Martha Stewart scallop punch

Dry embossing by Cuttlebug's Asian set

Pearls from my stash

Poppy Fairy was pop-dotted and colored with Copics Coo, E02, YG0000, V0000

Thanks for stopping by!

Lately I have seen a lot of the "step cards."  I have done a side step card and a regular step card, which are pretty fun.  I thought I would challenge myself and do a double side step card.  The tutorial is from Dawn Griffith, a Stampin' Up demonstrator. Click here to see the tutorial.
