Expect Miracles!

Greetings!

Happy Sunday!  If you stopped by my blog earlier you would have noticed that there was a different posting up.  Well, Blogger got me!  Apparently, there was a mix up in my blog posting because you should have been seeing this one and not the Blog Hop one (which was set to go live later).  My apologies to Paulette and the other DTs.  I hope that you will stop back bye to check that out because there will be several goodies to collect. *smile*

Well, the card that I intended to share with you is actually using an image from Milk and Coffee stamp company and a sentiment from Create with TLC.  I couldn't believe my how well these to meshed up. 

I can't the card pretty simple and you can check it out here...

Expect a Miracle

I used a nay blue 6x6 cardstock base and layered on white cardstock and dp.  I then added a border and used my Spellbinder's diecuts to cut out my image and matting.  I colored my image using Copics and finished it off my using my SU punch to cut out my wordart.  This is the first card that I have created in a long time that I haven't used my Cameo to create.

Well, again my apologies for the earlier mix up and I hope you join the Create with TLC DTs later for our hop!

See you then and thanks for looking and commenting!

Now get to creating...

Remember:  There are no mistakes in cardmaking only opportunities for creativity!

TTCRD Challenge: Always anything Goes sponsored by Anne's Digital Art

Greetings!

I hope your having a wonderful day! This week over at TTCRD we our honored to have Anne's Digital Art as our sponsor this week. I was honored to work with Anne's lovely Daffodil image.

Here's my creation...





Dances with Daffodils



I started out with a 6x6 piece of yellow cardstock for my cardbase. I designed the card using my Cameo.  I layered a piece of dp paper behind the front panel.  I added some grey cardstock to the front panel of the card as well as used it to mat my image and sentiment.  The sentiment "And then my heart with pleasures fills, and dances with daffodils," is from Create with TLC. I colored my image using Copic markers. I am horrible with the names of flowers unless they are roses or sunflowers.  I kept calling this flower a tulip (I even put it on my watermark until I realized my error and changed it).  *smile* 

I hope that you will join us for this week's challenge. We would love to have you play along with us and it is always anything goes.

Divers-a-garden and BLOG CANDY WINNERS!

Greetings!

My apologies for the late post, but it is audit time at work and that means late nights and busy busy busy.  I am stopping by to share a little project I made using a few of Mo Manning's cute little fairy babies and a sentiment from Create with TLC.

However, before I show you my project, allow me to announce my blog candy winners because they have been patiently waiting.  First of all THANK YOU to everyone who participated and sent me well wishes on my bday!  I truly appreciate it. The winners are...

1.  Peggy T. - Beccy's Place

2.  Ardilla  - Create with TLC

3.  Terriavidreader - Mo's Digital Pencil

 
CONGRATS!  Please email me ladies at cards by candy {at} yahoo {dot} com to get your prizes.  Again, a big THANKS to everyone who joined in the fun and stay tuned for more fun give-a-ways. :-)

Here's my project...

This was truly something that I pulled off the top of my head.  I fell in love with the original bumble bee fairy baby that Mo created and asked for a black version.  She was kind enough to do so.   She then kept going and I LOVE them all.  I wanted to make a little garden with them in it so I started out making a box and then I cut out a fence and grass on my Cameo.  I colored my cuties using Copic markers and added white gel pen and Stickle accents.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

I hope your day is starting out wonderful and only gets better! This week over at TTCRD we our honored to have The Paper Nest as our sponsor this week.  I had the pleasure of working with the married couple for my creation.

Here's my creation...


"God Bless Wedding card"

 

 

Iniside of card

 I started out with a 6x6 piece of black cardstock for my cardbase. I embossed a piece of shimmering cardstock and layered it on top.  Using my Cameo, I cut out my wedding couple, mat, wedding cake and embellishments.  I added some black gems to add a pop.  On the inside of the card I used a diecut to cut out the sentiment "God bless your love and marriage." The sentiment on the inside of the card is from Create with TLC. I colored my image using Copic markers.   I gifted this card to a friend who needed a wedding card.

I hope that you will join us for this week's challenge. We would love to have you play along with us and it is always anything goes.
