Here is my DT card:



I was lucky to get to work with this adorable snowman image from The Stamping Boutique. I just love snowmen! I used papers form my stash.  The image was colored with my promarkers and a few spectrum noir. I used my snow writer on the snow ans snowflakes.  A die cut snowflake was added in the corner. Blue pearls were added along  the bottom. I used my gel glitter pen on on the snowmen hats.  I glued a red pom pom onto one of the hats.  I think it looks adorable.  Although I remember hating the pom poms on the hats as a child!  The sentiment is using my stampin up scalloped oval and oval punches. 

Please head over to the challenge blog and link up your projects! Let's make out first challenge amazing!

Here is my DT card:


I was excited to work with this Sock Monkey Thanksgiving  image this week.  How adorable is he? I colored him with promarkers.  I used papers from my stash.  I used a nestibility die to cut and mat the image. I added some die cut corners.  A bit off black stickle was used on the hat.  The sentiment is from a set from My Creative Time. I love their products!! I used some walnut stain from Tim Holtz around the edges.  I tired my hand at embossing some little leaves to add around the image.  It was my first time doing it.  They look more like blobs of glitter than leaves to me! I must not be doing something right.  Some topaz gemstones were added in the upper right corner.  Inspired by the sketch at Love to Create .

I had lots of fun making this Thanksgiving card.  We would love to have you link up your creations with us today.  Head on over to the challenge blog to link up and see more inspiring creations from my DT teamies!

Hugs,

Erin

Hello there!! It's time for another challenge at Glitter n Sparkle.  The challenge this week is Show Us Some Snow. How easy is that? Aren't we all working on our Christmas cards anyway? I know I am.  I should have started them at the beginning of the year to get them all made by now so it would be less stressful! Anyway, our sponsors for this challenge are

Inky Impressions who are offering a $10 gift certificate

Sassy Studios who are offering 4 images from their store

Crafty Sentiments who are offering 3 images from their store


Here is my DT card:

For this challenge I was lucky enough to work with Snowman Gift from Crafty Sentiments Design.  How adorable is this image? I colored him with my promarkers.  Papers, ribbon and gems were all used from my stash.  I used my gel glitter pen to make the snow on the bottom sparkle.  I used my snow writer on the snowballs to give them a bit more dimension.  The sentiment is a matching ticket set from My Creative Time. I love this set almost as much as my new tag set.  I know, I am obsessed with dies! I used the sketch at Seems a little Sketchy for the card layout. I really like how this card works out with the not so traditional colors.

We would love to have you enter our Snow challenge with us.  So head on over to the blog for more DT inspiration and to link up your own projects.  Hope to see you there.

Hugs,

Erin

Hello there! It's time for another challenge at Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge.  This week our theme is buttons.  Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish. We would love to see your button filled creations so come play with us today!

My DT card:


I was able to work with this cute bird card from Robyn's fetish. I cut the stamped image with one of my nestibility dies. I colored it with my promarkers.  I decided to do a fall/thanksgiving card with this image for a little something different.  Did it work?  I used papers form my stash.  I added some green buttons in the left corners and an acorn felt sticker in the upper right.  I used my new tag dies from My Creative Time along with a matching sentiment.  I used some brown embossing powder to try and mimic some frantage that I am seeing people do with their cards.  I love the frantage look. I really need to order some!

Head on over to the challenge blog for more inspiration and to link up with us!

Hugs,

Erin

I chose this cute pilgrim girl to make a Thanksgiving card with.  How adorable is she?

I added a sparkly bow to the upper corner and a pumpkin die cut was added to the lower corner. I used the sketch at for the card layout.

Here is my DT project:


This week I got to work with this newspaper man image by Pookie.  I thought this image would be great for a steampunk Sherlock Holmes bookmark to use as part of a Christmas gift! I colored the image with my Promarkers and just use the top part to add on the bookmark.  I used some new Graphic 45 steampunk paper that I am in love with.  I added a Tim Holtz metal gear. I printed the image twice and cut out the newspaper, attached a foam dot then placed it on the bookmark for some dimenson. I drew the speech bubble and added the "sentiment." That makes it so much easier to see where I was going with this creation.  Ribbon was added at the top.  I am really pleased with the end product!

Since this weeks theme is Anything Goes I expect to see you there.  Head on over for more inspiration from my amazing DT mates!

It's time for a new challenge at Glitter and Sparkle.

Hey everyone! Today I have my first ever handmade vintage card to share with you.  I admit I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure if I "knew" how to make one but I didn't let them stop me from trying.  I got this elegant image from DAZZLING-ACE-DESIGNS. I love the images that Suzy has to offer! I die cut and matted the image and back paper. I used ribbon and papers from my stash.  The papers were slightly distressed with the Tim Holtz tool and inked with old paper distress stain. I added leaves from a MS punch and a cute flower.  Some stickles were added to the flower for extra glitz.  I am very excited to have used some dies and stamps from My Creative Time that I recently bought.  I am in love with their products and will be getting more.  I die cut and stamped the ticket.  I also added a die cut banner.  I realized after that I should have made the banner a different color as it really blends in with the other paper.  We learn as we go, right? Overall I am very pleased with this card and am looking forward to trying some more vintage themed projects.  I hope you have enjoyed my creation today.

Hugs,

Erin

Here is my DT card:





I was able to work with this lovely Fall image.  I colored it with my promarkers.  I used papers from my stash.  A piece of my favorite mesh ribbon was added as well as some maple leaves.  I used stickles on the sentiment.  I added two pieces of orange washi tape in the upper left corner.  I know realize that it probably should have been brown tape since the orange blended too well.  We learn as we go, right? I used the sketch at From the Heart stamps for the card layout!  I hope you enjoy this fall card and join us in our Holiday themed challenge!

This week I got to use Emma the Caroler by Delicious Doodles.   I colored her with my promarkers.  Since the theme is autumn colors I chose to use monochrome with browns. I used paper and ribbon from my stash.  I layered the book so that it pops out a bit.  You can't really see it in this picture but it looks better in person! I used my stampin up oval and scalloped oval punches for the sentiment.  I recently got an irock that I have been looking forward to using to use on the gems.  It is amazing! I made the gem doodle myself! I can't wait to do more designs in the future.

It's time for a new challenge at Savvy HandMade Cards.  This week the theme is a photo inspiration.  We would love to see your take on this photo so link up your creations.  Here is my take for a little extra inspiration for you!

I have used an image from Bugaboo Stamps. I just love their images and every Friday they have a new freebie so check them out! They are so easy to work with.  I colored this cute scarecrow with my promarkers.  I used paper from my stash.  Some pumpkin ribbon trim was glued along the bottom.  I love that trim. It's so cute.  I am almost out of it already! The sentiment was cut from cardstock.  A pumpkin foam sticker was added for some extra bling in the corner.  I did some faux stitching on the image.

I hope you like my card and decide to come play with us!

Hey everyone! This is my last project as a guest designer for the Fitztown challenge blog.  I have enjoyed my time working with the team and wish them the best of luck in the future.  This week I made a journal page with an enchanter image.  He has been colored with promarkers and some new spectrum noir markers that I bought on sale to try!  I fussy cut the image and glued it onto cardstock.  I would love to get a silhouette that I see people using to cut around their images.  That would be so much cleaner. I used some stickles to write the sentiment.  A couple of really cute stickers were added.  I wanted to keep this very CAS so the image was the focus.  And my journal is stuffed full as it is! I hope you enjoy this page. 

It's Sunday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Glitter N Sparkle.  This week the theme is add some leaves. 

This weeks sponsors and prizes are :-

Delicious Doodles who are offering 4 images from Their store

QKR Stampede who are offering 5 images from their store .

Lacy Sunshine who are offering 3 images from store

Di's Digi Downloads who are offering a $12 gift certificate for their store


Here is my DT card:



This week I was able to work with this adorable Holly Fairy image from Delicious Doodles. Craft scissors were used to cut out the image.  I colored her with my promarkers.  The papers were from my stash.  I added some ribbon and a bow. I used my MS leaf bunch and some gems to make the holly next to the image.  Those gems didn't want to stay in the shape! I used my glitter gel pen to add some sparkle to her wings.  The sentiment is unknown to me.  I used my promarker to ink the edge! I had a lot of fun making this card.  I think she looks beautiful!
