For the ladies.

It is time for a new challenge over at Crafty Gals Corner.  This month is #207 and the theme is For The Ladies.  We have one absolutely Fabulous sponsor for this challenge.  Here she is...

MoonFlower Digi Stamps

Prize~$10 Gift Certificate

May I just say that MoonFlower is amazing.  Her images are clean and crisp.  Oh and oh so gorgeous also!!  Go show her some love my crafties.

The interesting thing about my image, Callas Lilly Faerie was picking out the colors to color with.  I used my Arteza and Prismacolor pencils.  So here is how she turned out.

This is a large card.  It is 6 x 8 inches.  The card stock is
American Crafts.  Background paper is Paper Pizzaz. I
fussy cut the faerie out with my Tonic Needle nosed
scissors.  Used 3M spray adhesive throughout the
project.

Please click on the pics to see the detail in each photo.  I
have learned how to color wings from youtube videos.
The Callas Lillys are also blended.

The Flamingo and sayings are a stamp set I purchased
from Witt & Sass stamps.  Sorry gang, it's not available
anymore.  

Finally the back of my big card.

That is it.  If you would like to request a listing of the colors used just PM me at my FB page, Have Colors Be Happy.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  Hope to see you again very soon with another project.

Bright Blessings, 

Happy Mothers Day

Since I only post on the first Monday of each month, how was everyones Easter?  We didn't go anywhere or do anything different that Sunday.  Oh, I think I might have mowed the lawn.  I am having a horrible problem knowing what day it is.  Don't ask me the date, I don't know.

One thing I do know is that Sandy is a FABULOUS designer.  She has 3D cut files for a specific occasion or you can easily adapt a svg file and make it your own!  For this Monday I have chosen Flower Box with Handle.  Now I am adapting these (I made 2) for a Mothers Day gift for my neighbors.  They are both wonderful towards Bob and I.  Just thought a little something would be nice to say thank you.  Here is my creation!

These turned out so pretty.  I used Pocket Full of Posies printed
paper from DCWV 2010. The solids are from American Crafts.
The light blue and orange are textured.  The teal box on the
left is Bazil.  Bright blue and yellow are from Recollections.
The gems are ones I bought from Joanns on clearance for
.99 cents many moons ago.

In this picture you can the what the other sides on the box
look like.  The top picture showed the other side.  The brads
are ones I have collected over the years.  

Using the left over flower insides, I made some simple tags.
I put the tags on with metallic embrodiery floss from DNC.

Well that is it from my neck of the woods.  I have to tell you (and you probably have already noticed this) I am amazed how creative I can get using just the items I have on hand.  She who has the most craft stuff wins more craft stuff.

Take care and stay safe my crafties.  Bright blessings,

Team Trace Southern Girls Challenge X2

Hey Ya'all!  I hope this finds you healthy and sassy.  Here in Oregon, USA we are still under lock down.  But there is light at the end of the tunnel now.  The state may reduce orders that have kept many businesses closed for almost 2 months now.  I think our business will be a survivor!

I think that this challenge image from JMC Designs called 'Pippa' will bring a smile and/or a giggle.  But first, lets see who our sponsor(s) are for this anything goes challenge.

Krafterscart

JMC Designs

Star Jam For Kids

Please go show some love to our FABULOUS sponsors.  They really appreciate it.  Without them there would be no challenge.  Thanks Crafties!

OK on to my creation.  It's picture heavy so be prepared...

I have colored Pippa with Primsacolor pencils.  The card
stock is from American Crafts.  The patterned paper is
from Hot Off The Press and is called Paper Pizazz.

Here are the items I decided on for decorations.  Jems from
Crystal Stickers made by Mark Richards.  The other
embellishments are from a big tub of stickers that I found
at a thrift store.

This is a easel card.  I used 1/4 inch generic score tape to
adhere the top of the easel.

I used the generic double sided score tape to adhere the
bottom of the card.  I used the Mark Richards Crystal stickers
for a stopper for the top part of the card.

Here is what the bottom of the card looks like.

Bottom sticker I used and I backed it wil some pink card.

Another stickers for the top portion of card.  I will write a note
later in this space.

Here is the finished card.  I think this will put a smile on my
friends face.

The back of my card.

So that is my creation for this Southern Girls Challenge.  I hope I have put a smile on your face.  I will see you again at the end of May.  Until then...
