RETARTE 91 - November29, 2016 - Scribbles Designs

Greetings Crafty Friends, today I am sharing a project I did using a digital image from Scribbles Designs ... This is for the great challenge going on over at Retarte.

The image that I decided to use was Let It Snow. 

Let It Snow

Using my Bic Mark-It's and Spectrum Noir Markers I colored the images. I added a little Black Wink of Stella for Frosty's hat. I used my Lawn Fawn dies to cut the snow drift, added a few sequins from Kat Scrappiness and my project was complete. 

I hope you enjoyed my project, and am looking forward to seeing what you have made for the challenge.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #440

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. Today I am here with the Sketch Saturday team with this great sketch for our challenge. Please hop over to the main sketch blog and check out all the designers, and link up your entry. Please stop by the Paper Shelter for some great Digital Stamps, background papers and other fun things to play with. Saturday Sketch Main Blog HERE

The Paper Shelter has the most amazing digital images and also digital papers. And they are offering the winner a $10 gift certificate!!

Unfortunately I was unable to use the Paper Shelter items for this post as my printer was giving issues, so what I have made consists of a background stamp from Joy Clair heat embossed and then a distress ink blend. I then used a Hero Arts stamp from the Art of the Card set dated 2012 in the center. 

I hope you have enjoyed this project as well as the rest of the teams. 

Thank you so much, and Happy Holidays.

Today I'm over on the Joy Clair blog with these two projects. I had so much fun with them, and hope you enjoy. 

For this project I used the Christmas Borders set for the Sentiment, Stockings and Candy Canes. The fire was made using the Ignite set.

Watching some video's on you-tube I came across a video from the scrappin rabbit and CDD and knew I had to put it to use.

The sets I used for this project were Oh Baby! and Wonderland Letters.

RETARTE 90 - November 15, 2016 - KennyK Stamps

Greetings Crafty Friends, today I am sharing a project I did using a digital image from Kenny K Stamps ... This is for the great challenge going on over at Retarte.

The image I chose is "Christmas Tree".

I can only imagine in a couple years when my grandchildren are a little older that this will be them getting the tree ready with their parents. Right now they are 27 months and 2 weeks... so 2 more years I will update. In the mean time... here is my project. 

I used Recollections pattern paper as the background, I colored my image with Spectrum Noir Markers. After cutting the image to fit the card base, and adhering it, my card was complete. 

I hope you enjoyed my project, and am looking forward to seeing what you have made for the challenge.
