Createful Hearts Challenge # 12

Hello Hello!  Seems like such a long time since we got together to chat.  First something new for the Challenge on Mary's website, Createful Hearts Digi's and Designs.  Each challenge will begin on the first of the month and run through the 29th or 30th of the month.  The theme is always anything goes with the option of (for this month) add green or a shamrock.  This is going to be a fun one!

Now I requested this image from Mary quite a long time ago.  It is called Floral Hug Digital Stamp.
Coloring  was done with my new Prismacolor colored pencils (The Bob got them for me at Christmas the 150 set)  I haven't gotten used to writing down each and every pencil I have used.  I will try to do better.

So here is what I have created~~~

Here is the front of the card.  Just learning how to blend colors
to make the flowers look realistic

This is the inside where I will be able to write a note

This is the back.  I think it is time to create a new spring edition of
the back stamp.  Maybe something with flowers?

Short, sweet and to the point this challenge.  Remember to read the rules on this link to Marys website.  Sure hope you have a wonderful month and see you in April!

Bright blessings for you best week ever!  Jana

Let's get started!

Last year I was invited to be a guest designer at Simply Crafty Svg's.  I had no experience with 3D designs but I struggled through it.  Sandy Stark the owner and designer had a design team call in January 2018.  I MADE THE TEAM!  I can't tell you how honored I am to be part of this amazing team.  I am stretching my wings and learning a different way of paper crafting.  Please come along for my adventure!

So for February I wanted to start out simple.  I asked Sandy for a file called "Dog Sticky Notepad Holder".  Gang I have to tell you, Simply Crafty SVG's are amazing.  There are video's on Simply Crafty SVG's Youtube Channel that show you step by step how to assembly these 3D SVG's.  Then Simply Crafty is on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter.  Please visit and subscribe.  You won't be sorry.

Now on to the Dog Sticky Notepad Holder.  On Simply Crafty SVG's Youtube channel there is a Horse Sticky Notepad Holder that is very detailed and can also be used for the Cat and Dog patterns.  With that said, have I told you how much I love this group?

Next week I will have a listing of all the colors used (colors used is what I call the items I used to craft a project)   But now on to the photos...

This is Mama

This is Dad

This is Junior

Side view, I think I got the easel on wrong.  Oh well I
am learning!

This is the back of the Dog.  Sandy has even added a brace to make the
3D design stand up better is using thin paper.

Well what do you think?  Ok for a first project?  Let me know.  The first of the month is when a new project of mine will be on the blog.  So until then, Bright Blessings,
