Fussy and Fancy DT Call " Three Favorites"

Well hello again for the second time today,

I have just recently decided to join the blogging world again and to try and toss my hat into the DT ring again.  I have been on DT previously and always had great fun and really miss the fellowship. I now work part time and I am able to give more time to the craft I love. I have been designing for about 4 years and teaching the Copic Marker technique for the last 2 years at a couple of our towns LSS. This is for the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge. They have asked for our 3 favorite creations, so since I have only restarted blogging there are so few to chose from. These were all colored with Copic markers, but I also color with distress inks and colored pencils with gamsol. Here are my submissions, wish me luck.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!!

Back for More Crafting Fun

Hello Crafty Gals,

I have been busy this week with a new card and I have also decided to try out for a DT or two. This weeks  creation was for 4 different card challenges. The first is Papertake Weekly this was a Bingo challenge. My three in a row was gem, die cuts and flowers. Then there were 3 challenges for Anything Goes this week Whimsy Challenge Blog Challenge #31, Creative Inspirations Challenge #155 and Cute Card Thursday Challenge #209. The 2 DT I have tried out for is at Crafts4Eternity and Fussy and Fancy. Wish me luck.

This sweet card was made using the My Minds Eye "Stella and Rose" collection. The sketch is one of my own. This card also contains Bazzill Brown and Flamingo Card stock, Kaiser Craft pearls, Stitching by machine, ( I know it is not straight, I am horrible at sewing sorry), Prima Flowers, the flourishes are done with a sizzix die and this cute little spring image is a Digital Stamp " Little Rapunzel" from Elisabeth Bell Designs. The image was lovingly colored and airbrushed with my favorite coloring medium, Copic Markers. Thanks again for visiting the blog. 

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!!!!

Better Late Than Never a Very Special Announcement

Well what a beautiful day, today is the day I have been waiting for I made it onto The Next Level DT as a Guest DT memeber for the next 8 weeks. First please let me say I am sorry for the delay in posting I had a minor computer glich this morning, but all is back to normal. I have been waiting with anticipation for this opportunity and was just about to burst wanting to tell my friends. This was my third try for a DT spot and as they say 3's a charm. I am fairly new to the world of paper crafting with only about a little less than two year experience. I have to say though that I feel just like a duck in water everytime I start creating with paper. The format of The Next Level Blog is so amazing and I beleive over time will become a great tool for all paper crafters to learn new tricks and techniques in this art form. Thank you for coming by to visit and stay tuned for a Special Blog Candy announcement later this week to celebrate the beginnnig of The Next Level.

Tilda and friends ATC challenge Use More Than One Character & A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge #53 Lace

So here I am back again with another challenge project, this is an ATC for 2 different challenges. The first is for Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge they asked that we use more than one stamped image. I used my favorite little Gorjuss Girls. The second challenge I am using this project for is the Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge where we have been asked to incorporate lace into the project so I edged the ATC with white lace to give it a little bit of pizazz.
