WOYWW 97

Good Wednesday morning everyone!  Hope you are doing well!  Since it is Wednesday, it is time to share what is on your workdesk.  If you are a little confused about this just head on over to Julia's Blog and have a little look around.  Julia has a place for us to post pictures of our workdesk each week and then we can visit other blogs around the world and see what everyone is doing.  This is so addictive and I must admit that I'm not looking for a 12-step program to help me get over it...I'm just wallowing in it each week!

Once again, I'm sort of in between projects....I don't know how that happens every Wednesday, but it does.  You can see some of my new goodies I just received from Cuttlebug and Spellbinders.  Lots of stuff pushed back around my ever faithful cup of coffee...a stack of Ranger Distress Inks; have you noticed they are ever present also.  I use these on so many projects.

Now I'm off for a little look around over at Julia's.

My new Tilda!

Good morning everyone!  I know I've been absent for a few days, but I'm hoping to get get back in the swing of things. Life just gets in the way sometimes and for me the everyday chores and Spring clean-up has me bogged down right now.  I am feeling like Cinderella; with all the rubbin and scrubbin going on around here.  So this morning I'm taking a little break from all that and I want to share my new Tilda with you!

I colored her with Ranger Distress Inks and cut her out with Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large the placed her onto a card base that has been embossed with my new Cuttlebug folder.  Lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers placed along the side of the oval ,some Stickles added to the butterfly and the lace of her dress and she is off to the Easter Parade.

Too Much Excitement.....

I was so excited yesterday that I forgot to show you the picture of my card that was featured on the Heartfelt Creations Blog..heartfeltcreations.us/blog   I tend to get a little befuddled when I'm so excited I could spit!



I stamped the image of flower onto cardstock and colored using Distress Inks.  When the image was dry, I added some blue ink to shade around the stalk.  The frame was made using Spellbinders Labels Four.  I used 3D Zots to add dimension.  The frame was mounted onto base card with Mariposa Designer Paper and then I cut out one of the butterflies from the paper to add to the frame.  The butterfly was popped up to add dimension.  A pink Silk ribbon tied into a bow and a 1/2 pearl added to the top of the frame and the card is ready to go. 

I hope you enjoy this; I really had fun making this one.  I will be sharing more of the things I did for the finalist competition as we go along.  Be sure to go over to heartfeltcreations.us/blog and check out all the beautiful cards that are posted there.  There is a lot of talent on this Design Team and I'm in awe of all the beautiful cards that are posted there!

Heartfelt Creations Design Team!!!!

Good morning ladies....I've been up since before the chickens because I was excited to see if I made it to the Design Team for Heartfelt Creations!  Guess what.....I MADE IT!  I fretted all day long yesterday, I was expecting an email from them letting us know ahead of time, but those ladies at Heartfelt Creations know how to keep a secret!  This morning there was an email announcing new releases and when I went over to their blog to check it out, there was my name on the list.  Well you could have knocked me over with a feather!  My Journey is taking a new direction, so please share it with me.  There is so much talent on this Design Team that I am humbled to be selected to be a part of it!  I so look forward to working with everyone and sharing some wonderful stamps with you in the coming months!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? 96

Good morning everyone...it is Wednesday and time to play along with WOYWW!  If you are a little sleepy eyed and wondering what the heck this is just slip over to Julia's Blog and check it out!  stamping-ground.blogspot.com     Each week Julia hosts this little get together where you can post your work space and then we visit each other's blog to see what each of us has going on!  It is totally addictive, so be very careful!  Each Wednesday, I don't want to do any housework or yard work or any other kind of work....all I want to do is poke around the blogs and look at all the wonderful creative juices flowing,  With that being said....here is my space.

I have been doing some cleaning...there was a huge amount of bits of paper and dust bunnies lingering on top of my desk and I did some re-arranging to get more light from the window.  There are some supplies that I got this week.  Some new glass pearls and some corner dies that I have waited impatiently for a month to receive and a little medallion I'm working on for a card or tag, I don't know which yet.    Also some new spritz bottles I found at Wal Mart!  Now I can mix more Pearl Ex sprays!  The little stack in the first picture is Pearl Ex made up as paint to use to paint flower petals!  I also received my very first bottle of Zip Dry Paper Glue...it fell over so it doesn't show up in the picture!  Well ladies, that is it for me....I'm off to visit the other  bloggers who are particiapting this week!

My New Tag....

Each week Joan over at Joan's Gardens has a tag challenge...the idea being that we have a jump on the tags we made need for the year.  I have really been enjoying this challenge and this week I have another tag to share!  I started with a Manila tag and sprayed it with my Pearl Ex sprays using several colors (purple, teal and gold) and then I stamped and embossed swirls with copper embossing powder.  I used a Tim Holtz die birdcage and cut it down to fit the tag, then embossed it with gold and copper and I left some open spaces to add some distress inks.  My butterfly is a cut-out stamp that has been sprayed and glitzed to death!  Hand made flowers and cut-outs with dies and everything was sprayed with Pearl Ex sprays....I just love this stuff!  then I added little pearls to the flowers and some stringed pink pearls to accent everything.  I hope you enjoy this tag, I really love how it turned out.  Its all ready to be slid down into a gift bag and sent along to a dear friend! And before I forget...some seam binding sprayed to match the colors in the tag!

A Birthday Card.....

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are set to have a wonderful weekend!  This morning I wanted to share a card I have made to enter in Joan's Gardens Weekly Card Challenge #12.   You can visit Joan's blog here:  joanscreations.blogspot.com she has all the details posted if you would like to play along.  Please forgive the photo....no matter how I twisted and turned the card, I still got a shine on the photo.  That's what happens when you use a shimmer paint.  I'm sure there is a way to combat this, but I don't have a clue.

Inside of the card.....



I made a window card using a Spellbinders Die and decorated with flowers of different colors.  My card Base is just some acrylic shimmer paint mixed with some Victorian Velvet  Distress Ink and dabbed onto the cardstock using seran wrap.    My cameo is a free picture from the Internet.  I kept sizing it until I had the perfect size to use the Spellbinders Oval frame I made.  Did you spy my new tag die from Spellbinders?  I just love these and use Spellbinders on most everything I do.  This one is from Fancy Tags Two.  My paper on this is a free digi that I used Victorian Velvet to sponge onto the wrinkles after I scrunched it up. 

I hope you enjoy this card!  Now go play and enjoy the weekend!  I want to thank everyone for their kind wishes for Maggie....She is much better and almost back to her old self.
