Suzy Bee's - Glitter and Sparkle

Time for a new challenge at Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge Blog. The theme this week was my choice and I thought it would be nice to do Vintage Glitter and Sparkle! Our sponsor this week is Lacy Sunshine.





Here is my DT card: 


I got to work with this adorable image from Lacy Sunshine. I colored her with my promarkers.  The papers are from my stash. Stampin Up had a sale and I just had to get some.  How can you pass up sales? I used ribbon along the left side. The ribbon has glitter snowflakes on it that didn't photo well. The trim is also very sparkly. Really need to work on my photography skills.  I added pearls and a resin piece for embellishments.  I used my snow writer to make snowflakes around her.  The sentiment is a die and clear stamp matching set from My Creative Time.  I used dark green paper for the sentiment.  It really photographed black. Yuck.   The card layout was inspired by the sketch at Sketch n Stash.



We would love to have you link up your projects with us today.  For more inspiration and to find Mr. Linky click here.

SSD Sponsoring TIme 4 Scrap



This will be my last post as the December GDT at Sassy Studio Designs.  I am a bit sad that it is over.  I love all their images. I hope to be able to work with the team again in my future! I have truly enjoyed myself. Today SSD is sponsoring the challenge over at Time 4 Scrap. Their theme is Anything Goes!



What a Sassy image I used on this card, yes? I colored her with promarkers.  I used a glitter gel pen on her dress and bow.  Red frosted pearls were added around the image.  All the papers and doily are from my stash.  I used some new dies that I just got from My Creative Time.  The circle and scalloped circle are a set with the circle sentiments.  I used the fun size bow die to make the paper bow.  It isn't quite right yet but I will keep practicing.  Paper folding doesn't seem to come natural to me! I added a heart charm in the sentiment.  The card layout is inspired by the sketch at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.





Bow up close:

I hope you have enjoyed my card today!

SSD Sponsoring Left of Center Challenge Blog

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenge at Left of Center Challenge Blog this week.  The theme is Christmas.  I have made a little card to share with you all for some challenge inspiration. I know many of us are still scrambling to get our Christmas cards and shopping done! I hate the last minute shopping and prepping I always end up doing.  I need to be more on task!


Here is my GDT creation:

I used this spicy Reindeer Pin Up image for this card.  I colored her with my promarkers.  I used papers from my stash.  Some green gemstones were glued along the bottom.  I added a ribbon charm in the corner.  A red pom pom was used for her tail.  A friend send me some cute sparkly white fluff that I used on her dress and boots.  The sentiment is a matching die and stamp set from My Creative Time.  It's a new to me set.  I am in LOVE.  It comes with these little dies that cut images to fit in the circle for all the holidays of the year.  Such a great buy! Card layout inspired by the sketch at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I colored her with promarkers.  She was fussy cut and attached to cardstock. I added liquid applique to her hat and dress.  I can't believe it's almost gone already! I used papers from my stash.  The sentiments was stamped from a clear stamp set from Oriental Trading.  I used my irock tool to help heat/glue the gems to make the star.  Boy was that a trick to do!
