Enjoying the Journey

A granddaughter is …..

2012-01-16T04:06:00.000-05:00

Well it is Monday !!!! And that means after a whole month of being off from my surgery, I am back to work !!!!!!!!!! Oh I pray this 11 1/2 hour day goes so fast. I know I am going to be whipped by the time I get home. But I do have to say I am so ready to get back to work !!! Never ever thought that would come out of my mouth lol

But I had one project I had made while I was off that I wanted to show you.

I made a frame from my granddaughter, ( I saw this idea on Dena’s Blog) My granddaughter loves my Magnolia stamps and she is always wanted to color them. So I just thought I would make her something for Valentines Day (along with her candy of course lol)

I have colored one of the new Tilda’s with copic’s and Spica glitter pens and I covered the rose also with some smooch pearlized accent ink.

I got the wooden frame at HL and I used some Viva Decor Inka Gold paint on it and after that dried really well I sanded it and then to give it an old age looked I sponged on some distressed vintage photo ink on top of it. I was pleased how this turned out.

I then put glamour dust glitter paint on the flowers to make this sparkle.

Don’t forget that Susana’s Custom Art and Cards had a new release yesterday with the adorable Spring Fairy’s you can find them HERE. They are so adorable and so much fun to color. And there are lots of new pads of papers that you will just die to have Here so go check out all the new wonderful things Susana has for you !!!!!!!

Well that is it for me for awhile. I am sure I am going to be whipped the first week so might not get much crafting in.
But thanks so much for stopping bye and seeing me and I so want to thank you for the lovely comments you leave me , they mean so much.

Sending Big Hugs ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))

Well that is it for me for awhile.

It is nice to be off work but not without a paycheck coming in. Plus I am really starting to get bored lol Yelp you read that right. i was sort of ready to go back to work. Maybe just not the long hours lol

But today I wanted to show you a couple of things I have made over the last few days that I finally finished.

Happy Days

2011-12-04T06:10:00.000-05:00

Today I would like to show you another one of the new images from Elizabeth Bell for Susana’s Custom Art and Cards. This is Happy Days. Love her .

I have tried coloring for the first time on Kraft Paper. I am kind of iffy with it and not for sure if I really like coloring on Kraft. But I used my copic’s to color her.

The papers I used are from My Minds Eye from Susana’s also. Her paper selection is amazing.

I used a Prima flower and then I made my own pearls with the Via Decor Pearl Pen.

I so hope you all went and joined in the blog hop, if not start at Follow Your Heart and join in to see all the new images. Then don’t forget to go fill your carts up with them.

You can find them HERE

Ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I used a Cheery Lynn Designs doily die

It’s Friday and that means a new challenge over at Just Magnolia and Hanglar Challenge Blog It is the first of the month and that means anything goes and this week I also set the option as Lots of Sparkle !!

Now my card really does have lots of sparkle to it but you can’t see it very well. But trust me it’s there lol

I have used Tilda here and she has been colored with my copic’s. I have used some glamour dust glitter paint for the fur, satine Mother of Pearl paint for the snow, some hologram glitter pen on my Memory Box die . And check out the holly on my poinsettia !! I used some Glitter Gel I got and man this stuff is awesome !!! You can use it on stencils etc. Has such a nice thick texture and so much sparkle. I colored a poinsettia flower with a purple copic and added twinklets all over it. All these products are from Susana’s Custom Art and Cards . This gal has so many neat products to use on your cards, I could spend and spend lol Then my snowflake is full of glitter. So I think I have covered the sparkle lol

Here is a close up of all the glitter , you still can’t see it that well, not getting a good pic today. But also check out the Glitter Gel on the holly leaf. Awesome stuff. Well I do hope you all come and join us this week. We have the wonderful Simon Says Stamp as our sponsor this week.

Magnolia are donating 500 euros to the Swedish Cancer Fund, and for every one of these stamps sold 2 euros is donated to the Pink Ribbon Cancer Fund and so a very good way to raise funds and awareness. This charity is also very close to Astrid's heart (the owner of the Dutch shop) as she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. So if you would like to get this adorable Tilda the place to get it is at Crea Shop Duymelot . And please keep Astrid in your prayers.

I have colored Tilda with my copic’s and have added some Glamour Dust Glitter paint to the hearts.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts
