A Vintagy Tasty Read

Hiya Peeps!

Today over at the Digi Bells it is my turn to do the Blog Post.  This beautiful image from the Elisabeth Bell's Digital collection called a Tasty Read, was colored with Copics.  I colored her a few months back therefor there is no Close up picture with her and the Copics I used.  Normally (nowadays)  I immediately take a photo of the Copics and image I colored.  

For my card today I used a Tasty Read from Elisabeth Bell's Digital Collection.  




Card Recipe :

Bazzill Card Stock, Design Paper from K&Company called Julianne (there is such pretty floral patterns in this pack!), Lace from my stash, The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Cameo Corners and Birdies from my stash (that I make myself ;-))  Nesties dies and perfect pearls.

Do not forget our that we are currently hosting a Blog Hop!  Elisabeth Bell's new image is called Christmas Bells.  For a chance to win her, do the hop and leave a comment on all the blogs.  2 Lucky winners will be drawn from the comments.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:


That's it from me for today!

The Paper Shelter - Easily Does it!!

Hiya Peeps!

I was super excited when I got an email from Marie little more than a week ago, asking if I would be interested in being a Guest Designer over at The Paper Shelter!  I thought, are you kidding!!  I have entered their DT Calls twice, but never made it!  So Jay!  I get to play with the great Paper Shelter images on a more regular basis!!




Ok, now that I got the blabbing out of the way....



Our brand new challenge is up and running.  The theme for this weeks challenge is :


Easily does it - An Easle card with a Christmas theme

Now with Christmas literally just around the corner, I am trying to make as many Christmas cards as I can.  I have once again left it for too late in the year! Darn it!  Will I never learn!

For my card today I used this adorable Christmas image, called Are you Ready my Friend?  How cute is that!!

What is the prize we are offering??

Additional products used : Fancy Pants Design Paper Pad - Saint Nick, Bazzill Cardstock, Wild Orchid Craft Flowers, leaves and Photo Corner, Lace, pearls, fluffy gold trimming from my stash.  And then that ribbon!  Oh my word it's the most gorgeous ribbon in the world I think.  It's red if you hold it one way, and then green if you turn it.  Love it!!!  Never want to use it, but simply had to for this card.
