Ooh La La!

The princess had a slumber party this past weekend, and the theme was Paris/French poodle.  We needed a card, and this Mimi set worked perfectly.

It is colored with ... yeah, you already know .... Copics.  The tag up on the top was airbrushed and then sprayed with glitter spray, but you can't really see it on here.  The background of the Eiffel Tower was also airbrushed.  

Hopefully, Miss Madeline liked her gift and card. :) 

I have also completed 2 weeks with my 365 Project.  You can find that on my other blog, Live the Life, if you'd like to see it.

Have a wonderful Monday and a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

My New Project

Today, I'm sharing a post from my other blog, Live the Life.  Since January 1, I have been doing one project each day.  Some projects are photography, and others are sketches.  I've had a variety of mediums so far.  The goal, however, is to do one creative project every day.  Each project is based on a central theme or subject.  Mine is My Awesome God.  This is my post on that blog today....

"Create in me a pure heart, O God,

And renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10

 

 

My favorite chapter in the Bible is Psalm 51. It's a beautiful plea by David for redemption and salvation. I believe that we should all pray this chapter from time to time. What a change in our lives we could have by truly praying it from our hearts.

 

 

Today's project is based on Psalm 51 and the change that the verses seek. I started a chipboard journal today. The first page is done and is the day 7 project. 

I'm not sure what kind of project tomorrow holds.  It's a Wednesday, and we'll be out and about a lot of the day.

Live the life, and live it well.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Christmas Eve!! :)  

I wanted to share the Christmas cards I made this year for my stamping friends.  

This was the first one and it turned out just a little different from the others.  I really liked these cards.  They were cute, but simple to put together.

Since I couldn't get one of these out to all of you, I want to use this post to wish each of you a Merry Christmas filled with the joy that only the Savior can bring.  

Going to spend Christmas Eve at my church. :)  That service is my very favorite of the year.

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve and a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

Birthday Challenge

 I just love this little Fhiona.  Her windy fall  scene is just precious and perfect for our recent weather.  So, using this adorable stamp, I created this card for a special friend/family member in NJ.  

There may be a little too much orange on this, but, over all, I really like it.

I embossed the background layer with some swirling leaves and added some pearls as the centers to some of the flowers on the border die cut.

I totally love the corner die.  It just wraps around the image so well and adds so much.

Fhiona is colored with Copics and the background was airbrushed.  The sentiment layer was, also, airbrushed.

The inspiration for this card was from the Your Next Stamp Challenge.  I chose the sketch for inspiration.

Have a beautiful day! :)

A Little Bit of Crafting....

Creation time!!  Yippee!  I didn't get to create much during October. Well, at least not with paper.  I did a lot of fabric work and even made a ship costume for .... a horse. Yep.  My daughter was a pirate and needed the horse she was riding to be a ship.  That took quite a bit of time.  But ... she and Sly won 1st place! :)

This card was suppose to be to the recipient yesterday, but that just didn't happen.  Hopefully, she will still like it when it gets there this week.

It's a simple card, but I worked hard on the airbrushed background.  I love the effect the airbrush has. It's so smooth.  

The stamps were all from SU.  They certainly gave the effect that I wanted.  The silhouette of the flowers along with the background just work well together, I think.

I hope all of you are having a great Saturday.  It's really hard for me to believe that it's already November.  At least, I get an extra hour of sleep tonight. :)
