Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Friday! If you are here for the first Challenge for Wags N Whiskers, please scroll down to the next post since this is my second post for today. If you are here for the Inky Impressions Inky Drop Hop, then you are in the right place.



The weekend is upon us and Inky Impressions is adding a little more excitement and kicking off the weekend with a New Release of 5 CUTE stamps and a Blog Hop!!
If you came here from Jenn's Blog, then you are at the right place, if not, you may want to start back at the Inky Impressions Blog (Nicole's blog) for a chance to win. Somewhere on one of the stops along the way there is a prize hidden and none of us knows where it is so you will want to leave a comment on each stop along the way.

Today I would like to share 2 adorable images with you!!

The first card is a shaker card I created using the new Angelica's Snowman stamp. Isn't it such a sweet image? I colored the image with Prisma Color pencils and gamsol. The Inky drops you see on the snowflakes is a new item available at the store as is that gorgeous snowflake ribbon!! The dp is from the Eskimo Kisses pack from Basic Grey. I did sew on this card but it is difficult to see in the photo with the dry embossing I used to create texture. The snowflakes were made using the Spellbinders Create a Flake 1 die.

Card 2 is made using Ice Skating Rachel. The fun layout I used is from Mercy's Sketch Challenge this week. I water colored and paper toled Rachel with Distress Inks. Her fur was created with Liquid Applique. The dp is from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses. (Can't you tell, I just love the patterns in this pad.) Again I used the Inky Drops in the Corners available at the store. The sentiment says: "When I think of you... I get the warm fuzzies." The panel behind the image is dry embossed with the Textile Embossing Folder. My panels each have sewing on them except for the image and sentiment panel which have been distressed with ink.


I have decided to offer this stamp to one lucky person. All you need to do is leave a comment here and I will randomly choose a winner on Sunday, November 15 (after the blog hop has ended).





Thanks for stopping here on the hop. I hope you have enjoyed my creations. Your next step is the oh so talented and sweet Kristine!! Enjoy the hop and your day. Don't forget that somewhere along the way a prize is hidden so you will want to make a comment on each blog for a chance to win.

Chris

If you have a moment, please scroll down to the next post for my first creation as a designer for Wags n Whiskers.

Happy Friday to you all!! Today is my chance to share with you my first card as a designer of Wags n Whiskers. Last weekend I was asked to be part of the Wags n Whiskers Team by Lacey and Nikki! I gladly accepted their offer to work with this exceptionally talented dt team and these adorable stamps.


What an exciting day....today is Wags n' Whiskers very first challenge. The challenges will be at the Wags n Whiskers blog every Friday. Karen is hosting this weeks challenge and she would like you to "Make em Sparkle".

You must use a Wags n' Whiskers image on your card to be eligible for your chance to win your choice of a fabulous Wags n Whiskers stamp!! We don't mind you combining other challenges with ours... the more the merrier!!!

You don't own any Wags 'n Whiskers Stamps just yet?...... then click here to purchase

The adorable image I am using on my card is Zoe and Gemma's Snow Fun!!
I colored the image with Prisma Color Pencils and Gamsol. Parts of the image were stamped more than once and then adhered with dimensionals. Although it is very difficult to see in the photo, stickles was added to the snowman, hats, and snow for some added sparkle. Liquid applique was applied to the snowman's hat for added texture and interest. Many panels on the card are sewn. The circle panels are dry embossed with the Textile embossing folder from Cuttlebug. The snow flakes are felt and come from SU's Christmas Release Catalog from Last year.

Anywho.... why don't you play along?! Grab a Wags 'n Whiskers stamp...and make it sparkle and shine!!

Link it in Mr. Linky on the blog post and we will choose a winner next week. The winner will get to choose a Wags 'n Whiskers stamp of their choice and their card will be featured on the blog.

Happy Thursday Everyone!! I hope you are all doing well!! Today is super busy and I will be gone most all day. Crazy!! I thought I better get my post up quick before running out the door.

Today is the Divine Diva Inspiration Challenge!!! Lori sent each of the team member the link to this picture for our Inspiration from Pacific Perfume:


I was inspired by the cameo coral color and the pattern. I thought the pattern assimilated the Fleur De Lis pendant shape so I went with a pattern paper from SU that had a similar pattern and the Fleur De Lis Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug. I combined the Divine Diva Challenge with the Mojo 111 Sketch for this week and the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge as well.

Here is the Mojo Sketch:


The challenge for the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge was:

"Create something about when God is "unseen"; i.e., a scrapbook layout that reminds you that God is always with you; a card to encourage a friend and remind them that God is with them; or perhaps something to hang on your wall as a reminder."

I used the verse from Scripture Collection 2 at Our Daily Bread Designs. I stamped a pattern around the verse using the Blessed Christmas set (also from ODBD)



Card Recipe
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Blessed Christmas, Scripture Collection 2
Paper: Cameo Coral, SU Designer Paper, Black, White
Accessories: ZVA Creative Flourishes (pearls), lace, American Crafts Ribbon, Prima Flower (Windsor Chelsea Roses), Hero Art Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping by. I can't believe I finally have this posted. It took me an hour and a half to fight blogger this a.m. It would not let me upload my pictures. Oh well...it is here now. I hope this isn't a sign how my day will be though. Have a great day!! Hope to stop by you all later this p.m. when I get home!!

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far!! Mine has been very busy but no rain!!!!! Woo hoo!! Today the sun is even out!!

Today I would like to share a card I made for today's Flutter By Wednesday Challenge!! I so look forward to Wednesdays when I can share these creations with you and see the rest of the teams take on the challenge. Today is another open challenge week where you can create a card or a project that only requires a fairy, a butterfly or an angel (for the upcoming holidays angels have been added).

For my creation I decided that I better get going on some Christmas cards. I am so behind!! I should join in the Christmas All Year Round Challenges so I don't get so far behind but I really have a hard time creating for Christmas at certain times of the year.


Anywho....on to my card....I used the Angel and Christmas Verses Stamp sets from Our Daily bread Designs. I colored the angel using prisma color pencils and gamsol. I added glitter to the wings. The background panel behind the image has poinsettias embossed in gold around the edges using the Blessed Christmas set from ODBD and then sponged it with ranger distress inks. The dp is from the Retired Su Holiday Treasures Paper Pack. I love this paper!


Card Recipe:
Stamps- Our Daily Bread Designs- Blessed Christmas, Christmas Verses and Angel
Paper- Bitter Chocolate, White, and Holiday Treasures from SU
Accessories: Label 4 Spellbinders, Riding Hood Red Ribbon, Corduroy button, Hero Arts Pearls, Fleur De Lis Embossing Folder, Gold Metallic Thread, Sewing Machine

Happy Tuesday!!! Well today is a new sketch for Midnight Madness!! We had some glitches this a.m. since Priscilla has been very sick and was unable to post this week's challenge. Please bear with us today as we add the necessary info throughout the day. My thoughts and prayers are with Priscilla today!

Anywho...Here is the info. that I have to share in regards to this week's challenge:


Congratulations ladies....and thank you to all our players that join us each week.
Our sponsors for this week are Digi Stamp Characters by Heather Ellis who provided the DT with a few adorable digi images. Many of the dt used them for their sketches this week!
Our monthly sponsor is Michelle's Scrapbooking and More

Here is the sketch...


Here is my take on the sketch this week!!



I used the Cowgirl Lili image from Inky Impressions. Isn't she just darling!!! I water colored her with distress inks. The dp is retired Western Sky paper from SU. I have never made an easel card before so I thought it would be fun to make one for this week's sketch.

I hope this card and sketch inspires you to create! If you do use this sketch for your creation, please leave a direct link to Mr. Linky Here. If you upload your creation to SC, please use the keyword MMSC26. We look forward to seeing your creations!! For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters:
