Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree with SSD

Today is the first and that means another Sassy Studio Designs Christmas challenge.  The challenge is to use a non-Christmas image and make a Christmas project with it.  The idea for my card came quite easily.  I had already printed this rockin' image before I knew what the challenge was.  I looked at her and said to myself, she is a rocker...what would she be doing at Christmas...rockin' around the Christmas Tree.  And there you have it.  A card is born.

I colored her with Copics and popped her up with SU dimensionals.  The tree is clipart that I printed and cut out.  I know I got the background paper from Pat Catan's but I am not sure who the manufacturer is.  I am so bad with paper. 

Please check out what the other DT members have created for your inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by!

Say Hello to Miss Lilly

Preview Day #5 brings us Lilly.  She is so stinking cute!  I picked red for her hair because she reminds me of my little niece Cortlynn.  She is one strong minded little girl.  She has just as much attitude as little Lilly here has and even more red hair.  I colored Lilly with Copics (of course) and used some great digital paper from Jak Heath.  Please hop over there.  She is amazing and has digital paper freebies.  Thanks Jak.

This Jude and the Rockers set is just awesome.  I know I will be using these images for a very long time.  Make sure you check out what the other designers have created.  You won't be disappointed.  Then come back tomorrow for the final image.  And make sure you visit Simply Betty Stamps and get your own.

Thanks for stopping by!

Brittany Has Arrived

It is Day 3 of the Jude and the Rockers preview from Simply Betty Stamps.  I want to thank them for once again letting me join in the fun.  When I received this set I must say I immediately picked Brittany as my favorite.  She reminds me so much of my niece Grace when she was young.  She used to say her name was Baby Grace and she had the curliest hair I have ever seen.  She still does.

I colored Brittany (Baby Grace) with Copics.  I found some cute girly paper at Pat Catans and added in some black cardstock and silver foil.  I absolutely love this one.  You know how sometimes your mojo just isn't working for you?  Well mine was tonight.  I had this picture of Grace in my head when she was posing in this pink t-shirt and jeans with her hair everywhere!!!

I hope you like this as much as I do.  Thanks for stopping by.

Double Trouble!

The Burtonesque Dolls are seeing double today!  The challenge is to use 2 of the same image in one project.  I found this awesome stamp at the Adventures in Stamping convention this spring.  I was a little disappointed in the show this year but I still managed to spend lots of money.   So did my sister. 

I stamped the image with Staz On Metallic Silver.  Way cool!!!!  Since this image makes such a statement I didn't want to add anything else to it other than the ribbon down the center.  I used black and pink cardstock with silver foil in between the layers. 

Please stop over at TBD and see what the rest of the Design Team has created.  Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome Jude and the Rockers!!!!

Today is Preview Day 1 for Simply Betty Stamps new collection called Jude and the Rockers.  This is Jude.  He is such a cutie pie!!!!  SBS was kind enough to include The Burtonesque Dolls in this Simply Betty Stamps release.  I colored Jude with Copics and a little glitter glue.  He was so much fun to color. 

The background paper was a Halloween leftover.  The other paper was from Bo Bunny and I got it 2 Halloweens ago.  I used my MS drippy goo punch on that one.  The ribbon is from my leftover collection as well.  I hope you like it.

Please check out what the Simply Betty Design Team has created for this release and check back tomorrow for Preview #2.  Thanks for stopping by!

Fairies, Fairies and More Fairies

Today at 2 Sisters Challenge we are doing......you guessed it.....Fairies!!!  We are sponsored by The Stamping Boutique.  I used their beautiful Serenity image.  I love blue and brown together so I started this one with the paper first.  I usually color first.  I colored it with Copics and glitter glue.  I popped up the body and one of the birds with SU dimensionals.  I added lots of Copic dots all around and put glitter glue on the ones that existed in the original image.

I hope you like it.  Please stop over and see what the rest of the Design Team has created.  Thanks for stopping by!

Just for Dad

Today at 2 Sisters Challenge we are celebrating Dad.  We are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish and asked to make either a Father's Day card or something masculine.  Not having a father myself, I chose to just do masculine.  I actually picked colors I thought my husband would like.  He is a green lover just like me!

I started with this amazing image called Gnome from Robyn's Fetish and colored him with Copic markers.  I then cut him out and popped him up on a background made with nesties.  I wanted to keep this very simple.  Most men I know don't like a lot of "stuff" on their cards.  Me,  the more "stuff" the better!  I added just a brad in each corner and a sentiment from SU placed on a nesties banner.

And there you have it.  Please hop over to 2 Sisters to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.  Thanks for stopping by!

The Cullens!

Edward and Bella are back again!  Today at Sassy Studio Designs we are glamming it up.  That means you can use glitter, bling or whatever to make your project shimmer and shine.  I used this awesome SSD image of Edward and Bella embracing. 

I colored the image with Copics and then added glitter all over Edward (vampires sparkle you know).  I then cut them out.  I popped them up on a frame I made using nesties and a little Distress Ink.  I punched out some hearts of different sizes (MS heart border punch).  I glued them on and then glittered them with brown glitter.  After all, you can never have too much glitter.   The banner is from a set of stamps I bought on eBay ages ago.  I got one for myself and one for my sister.  It has been years and I don't think she has used hers yet.

I really love the way this one came out and I hope you do as well.  Please stop over at SSD and join in the fun.  Thanks for stopping by!
