Hi all, hope everyone is having a wonderful day. <br />
<br />
I've been missing in acting, busy with all kinds of stuff, but jumped back in in February. Made a bunch of scrapbook pages and am just now getting around to posting the pictures. Please forgive the quality. I wanted to get it done quick, and didn't bother with my photo cube.<br />

This one turned out better than I expected. I'm not a green person, but wanted to have</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the trellis look, so I layered some modeling paste through a harlequin stencil then painted green and let it drip through the stencil area. I also used a hear stencil for the blues and my finger to create the circles. The picture is from Etsy. The frame is actually kraft card stock that I used distress ink and post it notes to cut the corners and swipe the ink across to create a woodgrain effect.</div>

Just like I don't care for green, I'm not huge fan of orange, but I'm trying to move outside my comfort zone and try new things. I layered a bunch of old book pages that I god from Etsy and then added some circles with modeling paste. I then used Gelatos to shade the circles. Yummy texture!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some glossy accents for the small circles after doodling on them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay, this is me. I found the girl online from clip art and colored her with my Copics before cutting her out. I used the art script stencil and another one with words on it (believe/Hope). I mixed some color with the modeling paste for the words. Lots of bottle cap circles and bubble wrap as well as some script stamping & doodling. The quote reads:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the pink, teal and blue mix here.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Uh Oh, orange. And who would have thought orange and teal look good together?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background is Tim Holtz' mélange tissue paper with an orange wash. I then added depth by going darker orange around the edges with acrylic paint before stenciling some chickenwire. I added some modeling past for the small boxes (tiles?) by coloring it with some orange paint before applying. The circles were colored & shaded with Gelatos (love, love, lovin' 'em).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also stamped some random stamps, (homemade ones are the corners and the hearts) and a Penny Black flower. I drew the 3 hanging hearts, colored them in and added some glossy accents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The quote reads:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was done in my altered Composition art journal dedicated for Julie Nutting images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I took out 1/2 the pages and glued 2 pages together before coloring them with various shades of gesso).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently, loving the pink and purples, huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Started off with a multicolored circle tissue paper and then painted with acrylics over the top with a darker shade of pink around the edges. I then added some strips of joint mesh tape from the hardware store before stenciling some purple circles, after which I doodled with my white Posca pen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mixed a little bit of orange into modeling paste for the smaller circles, added some script in archival potting soil and a heart stamp on the right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Julie Nutting image was paper pieced (love script/print as skin) and then colored her with Copics before decoupaging her down. Final touch was the hanging hearts I drew and added glossy accents to. The quote reads:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you have a big heart and aren't afraid to let others see. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength" by Brigitte Nicole.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, can you tell just by looking at this that I was having a bad day?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with some modeling paste in the center of the 2 pages and combed it out to the top and bottom. I then added some turquoise and blue acrylic paint around the edge with a little bit of that mesh joint tape. I have an UNUSED fly swatter (lol) that I tore apart and stenciled through to give the white grid. Probably the only positive thing about this page is that I finally broke down and ordered some Cambric from France Papillon (#LOVEHER). I colored with Dylusions (starting to HATE that they're water soluble, bad me) in blue (see left below the crazy). I colored the modeling paste with some copper paste and hand wrote the quote, which reads:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Dear Stress ... Let's break up"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good way to get feelings out, because I felt better after it was done.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ahhh ... back to pretty in pink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off by decoupaging some polkadot scrapbook paper randomly on each side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used tiny punchinella and modeling paste for the dots and then colored with pink, letting the darker color drip down and sideways. I finished with some random stamps and added two laser cut chipboard butterflies and a leaf around the Penny Black flower stamp. The sentiment reads:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Inhale confidence, Exhale Doubt.</div>

I really liked this one.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, back to my Julie Nutting journal - ugh, green, you say - again, trying to not restrict myself to my favorite colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started off stenciling embossing versamark/powder and the basketweave stencil before adding some Tim Holtz Melange and old book pages. Then I started with the greens and yellows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After making the circles with Gelatos and shading them, I randomly stamped some chickenwire and a couple of Julie Nutting's borders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The butterflies and the circle butterfly were done with modeling paste through a stencil. Afterwards, I rubbed some gold paste over the top gently. I drew the caterpillar and paperpieced the Julie Nutting figure before shading her with inktense pencils. Her crown has been Stickled (the only glitter in my house is that which has been encased in a glue!). The sentiment reads:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"When you find yourself cocooned in isolation and can't find your way out of the darkness, remember that this is where the caterpillars go to grow their wings".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, so green's not so bad, lol.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just adore all things Victorian, as well as purples and pinks, can you tell? This one was fairly simple. I criss crossed some strips of scrapbook paper and then shaded them with inktense pencil. Home made flower stencil was pounced with some pink acrylic and then doodled on. Very little stamping on this one. The beautiful lady is from Etsy, and again, the frame is kraft cardstock, smeared with Vintage Photo distress ink. The quote says:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Confidence is not - They will like me ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Confidence is - I'll be fine if they don't"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love that saying!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, back to my Julie Nutting journal with this cute image. She was paper pieced and shaded with Copics. I first layered some scrapbook papers at the corners and then washed a purple background. Used a heart stencil and purple before doodling. The circles were made with Gelatos and my finger. I added some Tim Holtz ephemra as well as some Julie Nutting borders. Brain fart on where the butterflies came from, but I colored them with Twinkling H20's and some script stamp. The quote reads: <br />"You are amazing, remember that!"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, this was another dark day - maybe that's why I used orange again, lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The background is the Tim Holtz Melange tissue paper then I added a color wash of orange with darker edges. I flipped the journal upside down and used some watered down green for drippage to create some greenery before stamping some flowers and then painting color on them. I added some circle stamps and reverse text and then doodled a bit. The circles - oey, again? - were made with Gelatos and my finger. The sentiment reads:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Started this one with a light pink wash and then used a stencil for the grid with modeling past before dripping some darker pink from the top and the bottom. I added some masking tape strips and shaded them with my charcoal pencil. I used a circle stencil for the pink dots and doodled around them. I then added some modeling paste hearts through a stencil. Note there is only one red heart. The sentiment reads:</div>

Back to my Julie Nutting journal. I used a lot of book page strips before applying modeling paste through a stencil with circles, numbers and letters, as well as the 3 hearts through a homemade stencil. I then started adding the colors, blues, teals, dark blues. After the color, I put on a couple of more book page strips and white-washed with watered down gesso. I embossed around the hearts with red and then doodled. The image was paper pieced and shaded with Copics before decoupaging her down. The sentiment reads:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Leave footprints of Love and Kindness wherever you go"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's all be kind to each other, huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, broke one of my rules ... This is my "Julie Nutting Journal", but there's no Julie Nutting images - what's up?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with scrapbook papers from the sky down to the grass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then used the drippage from watered down green acrylic for the flower stems.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some paper I colored with my Gelli plate and cut out different sizes of circles & pasted them down. I used back end of a paintbrush for the petals before doodling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bottom looked bare, so I used modeling paste and a floral stencil, wanting to keep it green, but just to add texture. I ended up dotting the centers of the flowers with the petal colors to tie it in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also added modeling paste through the art word stencil where I wanted my clouds to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Gelatoes to create the clouds and then stenciled some white gesso to brighten it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this point, I really liked what I came up with and thought it was too vibrant/busy to add a Julie Nutting image. The quote says:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Blossom by Blossom, the spring begins"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This is a canvas board I made for one of my girlies in cheer. Lots of texture, stencils and doodling. She's a fan of pink. I added some flowers, some lace butterflies, as well as a sparkly "A" sticker before finishing. I love these beautiful laser cut chipboard flourishes (forgive me, they're either Blue Fern or Dusty Attic). There's a ribbon on top for her to hang it up on her wall.</div>

Again, lots of modeling past through the hearts and harlequin stencils. Added some flowers and laser-cut chipboard flourishes and some lace to the photos and sentiment. Can you see the sparkly 'H'?</div>

Been busy around the house lately, just started back up again with art journaling and making handy chipboard storage pieces for my artsy area.<br />
<br />
This is my first attempt at making anything out of chipboard. Based on it's size, it means that I can't buy any more distress ink pads or reinkers. So sad ... <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEdAOizv6RIwYE6cbVUWhIfwXr2roDRJ4gcfXuKUaKY4MyNTcm1Sy94LeMXjNhE3XJfWBZeunJcqyXT1y4Qn71qrdlEVTx6ycDtr_PzyO11SDGy9kT3f8ABEtZlrudwfanS47GBSfyebT/s1600/distressinkscarousel1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOEdAOizv6RIwYE6cbVUWhIfwXr2roDRJ4gcfXuKUaKY4MyNTcm1Sy94LeMXjNhE3XJfWBZeunJcqyXT1y4Qn71qrdlEVTx6ycDtr_PzyO11SDGy9kT3f8ABEtZlrudwfanS47GBSfyebT/s320/distressinkscarousel1.JPG" width="216" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This baby was built in sections from videos I found on You Tube (type in chipboard projects and they'll come up). I made each of the 4 sections separately from a medium weight chipboard, then boxed them together so there would be one on each side. I'm glad I modified the measurements to be a little wider, because after the fact, I went in and put dividers in each slot for the reinkers to sit next to the color of ink pads. This thing is full. Afterwards, I made a box to sit on top with some sections to hold the remaining Vintage Photo and Black Soot that I use most of the time, so quick access, plus other things relating to distress inks, like the glaze, and so forth. Don't binge shop - wait until your orders come in, so you don't end up with duplicate reinkers because you don't have them at the time, lol.</div>
<br />

After painting the entire thing black, I decorated the sides using a faux leather technique and kraft cardstock for the uprights, ad some pretty toile print for the top box. There are some metal corner pieces that I put here and there. I finished this baby off by attaching a 5 inch carousel/lazy susan/spinner, or whatever you call them, so that it can spin and I can find the color of distress ink that I need.<br />
<br />
Check out You Tube by typing in chipboard projects for the construction, and faux leather for the sides.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoyed this one ... now for the next one ... it's actually a Stickles carousel. I tried making the above for a Stickles carousel, but the shelves ended up being not high enough, so I modified it to the distress holder. This one, I measured twice and then cut once, lol.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The construction for this one was almost exactly like the above project, only smaller. There is room for 3 stickles on each shelf, all the way around. I left off the box on top of this one because this is my whole Stickles collection and figured I'd have more than enough. There is room to add something to the top at a later date if I find I'm running out of room.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decorated the shelves and sides with some pretty pink scrapbook paper and used one of my pink Pitt pens to add the shading around the diamonds on all 4 sides. Once I was done, I attached this one on a spinner/turntable/lazy susan measuraning 5 inches across. It spins perfectly and is a God send!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This next project I started making from 1/4 hobby wood. I made the shelving unit with a 3-part box on top with the wood. I then backed it with some heavy weight poster board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I didn't measure as I was cutting and nailing this chest together, each of the boxes had to be started from scratch, as no two are the same size, but they're close. This box is going to be used for Tim Holtz findings like brads, hinges, corners, etc. The thing is full and I have tons more stuff, so another one is on it's way.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see, I lined each of the drawers with pretty cardstock, then put the same pink floral on the front of each drawer, then got some pink candy stripe for the top, sides and back. I just love this look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I'm already bursting, with more stuff on the desktop that needs a home, I started making another one .... Measure, you ask? Only so it would be square, lol. I'll have to back it with more heavy poster board and make the drawers individually. This has been on the backburner for about a month now. </div>

I just wanted you to see what it starts out like - for me - again, this is all 1/4 inch hobby wood that I got at both Hobby Lobby and Ace Hardware. It's been like this for over a month, but I got distracted with the next project.</div>

This is a beautiful suitcase inspired by Alexandra R on You Tube. She created a suitcase like this with a photo album attached, but for my purposes, I just wanted to try the suitcase empty. If you make one of these, be prepared - it takes lots of brads. I had to put it on hold for a bit because Michael's and Hobby Lobby were out or the brads in the bronze look, so had to wait for them from shopping online. I put a vintage stamp that I colored with inktense pencils on kraft paper and then used glossy Bindex (several layers) so it looks like it won't wear.</div>

The leather straps are made from kraft cardstock folded and glued together lengthwise. After that, they were stained with Antique Linen and then I used some crackle paste, bending at the corners and curving the straps as I went along.</div>

I used some digital burlap paper on the outside (burlap with doilies) and plain burlap on the inside. You can't see it from the pictures, but there are hinges on the bottom that were attached with those bronzed brads, as was the clasp. The bronze "D" rings attached the straps to the strips of "leather" on the sides.</div>

Alexandra R put 2 clasps on the closure side, but it looked too crowded to me, so I just went with the one. It's not sturdy enough to use as a regular bag for very long I would think, but I'm making it for my bestie and filling it with cards I've made so she can have a sort of stationary case.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This really does look cool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, it was involved, but I stuck with it and finished the project. Thank you, Aleandra R for the inspiration. I know mine doesn't even come close, but I'm happy with it, and think the bestie will like it too.</div>

Well, those were my Chipboard crafts that I've made so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have to say, I wish that they sold some of those MDF shelving kits here in the US. It seems Australia has the corner market on laser cut chipboard kits. I don't know if I waiting and the trend is no longer there, but it's near impossible to find them. But I'm okay, because if I can't find one, I'll build it - either out of all chipboard, or with 1/4 inch wood strips and chipboard.</div>

Thanks for stopping buy. Check out the next post ... it'll be an accumulation of the art journal pages I've been doing since the first of the year after my hiatus.</div>

This week over at The Outlawz, the challenge was <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/saturday-paper-a-la-mode/forum/topics/paper-a-la-mode-9-19-9-25-15-autumn" target="_blank">"Fall is Here"</a> - using fall colors or a fall theme.<br />
<br />
I'm a bit early for Halloween, but that's what I always think of when I hear "Fall". I chose one of <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/Rick1949" target="_blank">Rick St. Dennis'</a> images called <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/grave-2-digi-stamp" target="_blank">"Grave 2"</a> and colored it with Copics.<br />
<br />
I used red and orange cardstock to go along with the colors.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can use a tag and add to it, make your own tag, incorporate a tag within your image or add on a tag with a sentiment - it's open for all.</div>

I chose to use his <a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/cassiopea-digital-stamp" target="_blank">Cassiopea</a> image. Anyone who knows me won't be surprised how much I love his beautiful ladies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I colored her with Copics and then distressed the edge with Vintage Photo ink. I made the tag to fit my own dimensions (4x6 inches) and then rounded the top corners and punched a hole to hold the strands of bakers twine (brown/white that I ran through a red stamp pad).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've added a distressed doily and a couple of more layers of papers as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished it off with some distressed roses, greenery and red seeds, then added a lovely silver charm.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/201266747/lilies-commitment-digital-digi-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=commitment" target="_blank">Lilies Commitment</a> for this one and kept everything soft blue. Her scales are a combination of lavender, blue and yellow. I like the way it turned out. All Copic markers here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some shabby white frantage and distressed the edge. While it doesn't show much, I flipped the lace up to look a bit like waves.</div>

This is my Design Team inspiration piece this week for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/721131444589832/" target="_blank">Ching Chou Kuik's Facebook</a> page. I used Scarlet Lips ... I think the name is what made me choose the color of this beautiful mermaid. </div>

Oh my, did I have a FABULOUS time at the Kit and Clowder Orlando retreat, or what? Only thing that would have made it better was sitting down with Alyce Keegan in my craft room for about a week (probably holding her hostage!). She's such a wonderful lady, and so very talented. It was hotter than blazes, I think near 100*, but not as humid as usual. Got a little bit of swim/sun time on the first day and the last day I was there. Can't wait to go back!<br />
<br />
If you get a chance, you HAVE to check out <a href="http://kitandclowder.ning.com/" target="_blank"><strong><em>Kit and Clowder's coloring classes</em></strong></a>. Alyce offers both markers (she gives substitutions for those of you that don't use Copics like me) as well as her new pencil classes. She also has new classes that you can subscribe to where you get a new class every month - both in markers, and pencils, separately. Once I have a bit more down time, I'm certainly going to sign up for those as well ... <br />
<br />
These are the three projects we created while at the retreat:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This first one is a frame that we used all kinds of mixed media on. I've dabbled a bit in mixed media in my art journals, but this was so much fun, using Lindy's sprays and stencils. The image is from <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Saturated Canary</strong></a> called Dew Drop Fairy. I colored her with Copics and then distressed the edges so it would be a bit smaller than the frame opening. I also added some Shabby white frontage. I just LOVE the way it turned out.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This next one is a card made using a <a href="http://shop.lalalandcrafts.com/main.sc" target="_blank"><strong>LaLa Land</strong></a> image called <a href="http://shop.lalalandcrafts.com/Heart-Cupcake-Marci-w-Sentiments-Rubber-Stamp-5205.htm?categoryId=-1" target="_blank">Heart Cupcake Marci.</a> I colored her with Copics and did all kinds of distressing. Isn't she cute?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This last card is made using <a href="http://polkadoodles.co.uk/" target="_blank"><strong>Polkadoodles'</strong></a> Octavia Rose. Again, Copics, distressing and some lace. Isn't she pretty?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy. Anyone interested in starting a Go Fund Me account for Alyce to come back over here from Australia? Or maybe send me OVER to Australia - yeah, that sounds like a better treat, lol.</div>

This beautiful young lady is called Ponderer and she's a digital image from Ching Chou Kuik.

This card was made as my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/721131444589832/" target="_blank"><strong>Facebook Design Team</strong> Inspiration</a> piece for this week.<br />

<br />
I colored her with Copics and then added a touch of Stickles diamonds to the butterfly top wings. I distressed the edges with Ranger Vintage Photo, as well as the designer paper. After I put the pretty wedding lace in place, I used the diamond Stickles again to help anchor the lace and add a bit of sparkle to it. The flowers are from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Wild Orchid Crafts</strong></a>. They are fabulous!<br />

Here is my Facebook DT inspiration piece for this week (thanks, Felisha, for switching days with me). <br />
<br />
This is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/229418326/girl-in-spring-digital-stamp-instant?ref=shop_home_active_18" target="_blank">Girl in Spring</a>, and she can be found in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/gjzcck" target="_blank"><strong>Ching Chou Kuik's Etsy Shop</strong></a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I colored her with Copics and added some diamond Stickles to the butterfly's wings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I fussy cut the top portion and left the bottom rectangular.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I distressed the digital paper as well as the rectangle portion of the image panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image panel was popped up on dimensionals over a pretty spring green ribbon/bow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finishing touches were the distressed flowers from Wild Orchid and a pretty sparkler for the bow to tie in the peachy colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't know what I was thinking, but when I picked the challenge, I was thinking Memorial Day was next weekend, lol ... Hence the Red, White and Blue - Oh well ... <br />

Anyway, here is my card for the <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon's</strong></a> Challenge this week - with the theme geared towards THANKING all the service men and women out there!<br />
<br />
The image is from <a href="http://mosdigitalpencil.com/" target="_blank">Mo's Digital Pencil</a>, called <a href="http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/waiting-for-the-parade/" target="_blank">Waiting for the Parade</a>.<br />

I colored her with Copics and kept the background simple as I hope to mail this to a serviceman or woman as a thank you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We'd love to see your contribution to the RED-WHITE-BLUE theme this week over at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon</strong></a> - it doesn't have to be patriotic themed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I chose one of the <a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/rickstdennisdigis.aspx" target="_blank">Rick St. Dennis' <b>Randi Dandi</b></a><b> </b>images, called <b><a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/brigitte.aspx" target="_blank">Brigitte</a></b>, from <span style="color: purple;"><b><a href="http://ibrakeforstamps.com/" target="_blank">I Brake for Stamps</a></b></span> and colored her with Copics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My "B"'s include the beads and buds. This is my first time using beads on a card, so be gentle, lol. I made some swirls using Glossy Accents and then sprinkled some turquoise seed beads over the top. After popping up the image panel with dimensionals, I tucked some rosebuds in.<br />
<br />
Here is a close up of the image:<br />

<br />
<br />
Hope you were inspired to try something new, and get a chance to play along over at Little Red Wagon this week ... Remember, it can be anything starting with a "B" - beads, buds, bows, birds, bonnets, bluebells, boys .... the sky's the limit.<br />

I colored her with Copics and used a combination of designer paper and digital designer paper, although the flowers are covering up most of the digi paper. Flowers are from Wild Orchid. Lace is from Martha Stewart. The gemstone in the center was in with the pack of flowers.<br />

I used one of <b><a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/collections/all" target="_blank">Saturated Canary's</a></b> digital images, Grad Girl 2012 (unfortunately, she's been retired) and colored her with Copics.<br />

This Saturday's challenge over at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/saturday-paper-a-la-mode/forum/topics/paper-ala-mode-femme-fatale-4-25-2015" target="_blank"><b>The Outlawz' Paper ala Mode</b></a> challenge is "Femme Fatale" with <b><a href="https://www.zibbet.com/Rick1949" target="_blank">Rick St. Dennis</a></b> as our sponsor.<br />
<br />
I chose this new image by Rick called <b><a href="https://www.zibbet.com/rick1949/foscka-digital-stamp" target="_blank">Foscka</a></b> ... Love how she turned out. I wanted to keep most of the outside very faded and sepia inspired.<br />

<br />
She was colored with Copics. I used Stampin Up cardstock and some designer paper from my stash. I then distressed the edges, then sponged the edges with Vintage Photo ink, then sewed the DP to the cardstock. Finishing touches are some flowers from Wild Orchid that I also sponged with Vintage Photo, some brown pearls and a pretty satin brown ribbon.<br />
<br />

This week over at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/2015/04/challenge-286-seeing-spots.html" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon</strong></a>, Joanne has us seeing spots .... Spots, dots or blots.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
(After watching the Blackhawks beat the Predators last night in triple overtime, until 1:15 am, I feel like I'm seeing spots this early!)<br />
<br />
Anyway ... I chose this adorable ladybug image from <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/search.asp?keyword=ladybug+stack&search.x=0&search.y=0" target="_blank"><strong>Bugaboo</strong> called <strong>Ladybug Stack</strong></a> - Lots of Spots on these little critters.<br />

I colored this digital image with my Polychromos, then added Glossy accents to the spots, their noses and their antennae. Then a little bit of diamond stickles for the flower bits.<br />
<br />
Stampin Up cardstock in Saffron and Ballet blue with some digital paper with daisies on them. Finished off with a strip of lace and a pretty saffron grosgrain knotted ribbon.<br />

<br />
Here is my design team inspiration piece: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGsVVDHJCorN0eSyjyCJi_gxHsxuBp7AWYDqauCCRWMIA0Pl-sidmxaWlVumoB1h9ViTAo1WdHIf1fA_HIBPx_Ob9j2_2nBf6Cfx8ej0iWVjT-uk0493mGlMm72bUSoNT-1aPE-GZpNay/s1600/04-19-15+Outlawz+Sassy+Aquarius.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYGsVVDHJCorN0eSyjyCJi_gxHsxuBp7AWYDqauCCRWMIA0Pl-sidmxaWlVumoB1h9ViTAo1WdHIf1fA_HIBPx_Ob9j2_2nBf6Cfx8ej0iWVjT-uk0493mGlMm72bUSoNT-1aPE-GZpNay/s1600/04-19-15+Outlawz+Sassy+Aquarius.jpg" height="395" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I chose to use the Aquarius Portrait image and colored her hair with blue green Copics. The cardstock is from Stampin Up (tempting turquoise and pacific point). I used some designer papers I've had for ages that look like water. At the split, I added a sheer polka dot ribbon and some lace upside down (to simulate wave action). I added a couple of dies in the same cardstock colors and some glossy accents to the image panel to simulate bubbles.<br />
<br />
Here's a close up of the image:<br />

This week over at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/2015/04/challenge-285-travelogue.html" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon</strong></a>, Heather has challenged us to make a project with the theme "Travelogue" - make a project that is inspired by another country, whether it's where you've travelled or wish to travel in the future, or just are inspired by another country.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/"><img alt="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwXIYr2CsxlW_QpGpARGzEnB1nx68hzotZBgAQZjBU018GZQtq3zQbQgnacHp0hdkXzAbkMTHSYPDfm2j1bBUP643A7lOIBjSnQ-h3JCOA4Rmg6cqwbdukcPFR28z_7OhhRZI9GFPZbWqN/s1600/lrwheaderfinalredborder.jpg" height="139" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My first thought was Paris, I don't know why ... but I got this beautiful digital paper from Blossom Paper Art on Etsy. That was my first step. Usually I'll pick the image first and let it speak to me - this time, I went the other way around. I chose this gorgeous image from <a href="http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/" target="_blank"><strong>A Day For Daisies</strong></a> called <a href="http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/timeless-beauties-c-4/tiny-fashionable-present" target="_blank"><strong>Tiny Fashionable Present</strong></a> (recognize the wrapping?

I colored her with Copics and used my handy dandy Creative Memories oval cutting system because the other oval dies just didn't fit her. I sponged the edges of all the layers with SU's melon mambo and used melon mambo and saffron cardstock. The flowers are from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Wild Orchid Crafts</strong></a>, as is the pretty oval beaded embellishment. The center flower is from one of their build a flower kits. I added some diamond Stickles to the brad and pushed down a pearl so the sparkle would show around the edges. This beautiful satin polka dot ribbon finished off the card.<br />

Here is my Facebook DT inspiration piece for this week ... <br />
<br />
She's called Tears in Wind, and can be found in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/207385605/tears-in-wind-digital-stamp-instant?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=Tears%2Bin%2Bwind" target="_blank"><strong>Ching Chou Kuik's Etsy Shop</strong></a>.<br />

I colored this beauty with Copics and used dark blue streaks for the background, then came in with a BG000 to fade and muddle the sky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The DP's are a combination of digital and regular designer papers. For the circled paper, I added some diamond Stickles to a few of the dots randomly, as I did for the 'pearls' in her hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I sponged the doily with some SU wisteria ink, as I did the edges of the DP and the image panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, I added some pretty flowers and leaves from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Wild Orchid Crafts</strong></a>.</div>

I love the color combination of purples and blue-greens/teals, so I kept her in purple and decorated all the rest with the blue-greens. All papers are digital. I added some diamond Stickles to the image and overlapping off the edge. I sponged the edge of the purple circled ribbon with turquoise.<br />

<a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAid1Er0F-rO90khkCNY-xPxuNzi-DVNKzcFW5wiwOahWCp9BPlRepNgxWaefIvPY1LywmxzBI9WFkaU1ccO_SXQfTnpm4X103zj-A5jMQn9A9NLzMSQs12u-aAJGwRb_eU9MwvJM3qzCi/s1600/lrwheaderfinalredborder.jpg" height="139" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It was my turn this week to host <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon's</strong></a> challenge, and because it's finally starting to get warm out, I chose the theme "<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><strong>Spring is in the Air</strong></span>" ... My crocuses are already up and the stalks of my daffodils and tulips are sprouting up, so it's just a matter of time.<br />
<br />
I chose a beautiful image drawn by Tiffany of <a href="http://www.tiffanydoodles.com/Default.asp" target="_blank"><strong>Tiffany Doodles Stamps</strong></a> with Copics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The cardstock is from Stampin Up (garden green and burgundy). The designer paper is digital paper that I sponged the edges with burgundy ink. I used a pretty set of dies from Elizabeth Craft design to punch the flower in the corner, keeping it a bit subtle. The pretty lace is from a pack of Martha Stewart lace.<br />
<br />
For the image panel, I also sponged the edge with burgundy and added some rhinestones to opposite corners, then used a slot punch to thread the pretty cream satin ribbon through.<br />
<br />
I hope this card puts you in mind of spring, and that you're able to play along with the challenge this week at<strong> </strong><a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon</strong></a> - <strong><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Spring is in the Air</span></strong>.<br />

This week over at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.com/2015/04/challenge-283-call-vet.html" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon</strong></a>, Susie's theme is "Call the Vet" ... use an animal or animal print.<br />

I'm in need of an Easter card, so I used this <a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/collections/all" target="_blank"><strong>Saturated Canary</strong></a> image (<a href="http://saturated-canary.myshopify.com/products/easter-dress" target="_blank"><strong>Easter Dress</strong></a>) that included a cute little bunny. The image was colored with Copics. I added some crocheted lace and yellow ribbon, then some flowers from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Wild Orchid Crafts</strong></a>.<br />

The image was colored with Copics, and I added some liquid pearls to her hair and some diamond Stickles for a few stars in the sky.<br />
Since she's a mermaid, I used some digital water designer paper, and added a strip of 2 layered digi paper with burlap and overlay of stars.<br />
The 3 stars are chipboard that I painted with metallic gold then stamped with a script image.<br />
<br />

This week over at <a href="http://lilredwagon.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank"><strong>Little Red Wagon</strong></a>, Tracy has us "All Tied Up" ... in other words, use ribbon, twine or bows on your projects ... As always, it's ANYTHING GOES otherwise.<br />

Some pretty floral embellishments from <a href="http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com/" target="_blank">Wild Orchid Crafts</a> to finish it off.</div>
