MERRY CHRISTMAS~

Here is a Christmas Chunky ATC I created for Swing Shift Designs. I used various Vintage Christmas images from the Winter Wonderland & Christmas Angels collage sheets. There are soooo many wonderful images on these sheets to choose from. I think they are all so beautiful.

I used a Prima flower, lace trim, strand of pearls, gold wired ribbon trim, & one of my handmade beaded stick pin.



I decorated the top of the Chunky ATC with Wild Orchid Crafts mulberry paper roses, shimmery red ribbon (I had in my stash), and accented the large white rose with crystal stickles.



Here are pics of each side:




I added clear rhinestones, distressed the edges of the image and also stained the wood with Tim Holtz's Red Barn distressing ink.


I used a Wild Orchid Crafts paper poinsettia flower and background paper is from Recollection's Bright and Jolly paper pad. It's been my favorite paper pad all season long.

A FAIRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU~

Hello Friends!!!

I am enjoying this quiet Christmas Eve at home.  No hustling and bustling along with the rest of the crowd that are shopping.  Instead I decided to relax at home and do a little more crafting.  Later on this evening I will be wrapping the Christmas gifts I have for my kidlings (my nieces & nephews). 

Here is a card I created today for Addicted to Stamps:



I created this card using  Mitzi Sato-Wiuff 's Christmas Fairy digi image.  I LOVE LOVE the way this card turned out.  I used copics to color (B00, B05, B41, BV31, C1, C3, E33, E37, G00, G05,R20, R29, V04, V09, W5, Y17, YR17) and Lumiere Neoprene paints (Pearlescent Magenta, Pearl White, Pearl Blue, Met. Russet, Sunset Gold).  I used various papers I found in my stash (Heidi Grace & DCWV), rhinestones, & Darice's 3D snowflake stickers, and a piece of vintage white lace.

Here are close ups:





I wish all of you A Fairy Merry Christmas!!!! 
Many Blessings to you and yours...

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH!~

It's new release Wednesdays for Addicted to Stamps. Please come join us on Facebook ATS fanpage this evening around 6:00PM PST

Here is a Christmas card I created using Lil Sweetie Joy Angel digi image by Sherri Baldy. I used music notes paper from a vintage song book, copic markers to color, Tim Holtz distressing ink in tea dye/walnut stain, Tsukineko Brilliant ink in metallic beige, ribbons & gold rick rack trim I had in my stash, pink and beige paper roses, and a beaded stick pin I received in a swap.

CHRISTMAS CARDS ARE COMING~

Hello Friends!!!

I have been crafting a lot recently and focusing on my Christmas cards. WOOT!!! It's seems that December just got here way too fast. I can hardly believe it, that soon we'll be welcoming the New Year 2012. I can definitely say I'm looking forward to a new year. It'll be a better year *crossing fingers* LOL!!!

Here are two cards I created this week for Addicted to Stamps DT.

I used the Snow Babie digi image by Sherri Baldy.

I embellished this card using a red floral like design from the Recollection's Bright & Jolly paper pad, a shimmery wired ribbon, pink grosgrain bow, a ribbon flower, and colored the image with copic markers. I will have to look up the colors I used. I also distressed the edges using Tim Holtz distressing red barn ink.


I used the Blossom Hippie Chick Christmas digi image
by Heather Valentin.

I embellished this card using a pretty snowflake design from the Recollection's Bright & Jolly paper pad, Prima flowers, Tsukineko Pearlescent Sky Blue dew drop ink for distressing, Studio G's let it snow stamp, Studio G glitter glue, and colored the image with copic markers. I love all the glitter on this card. :)  It's so pretty. 

Altered Art~ Christmas Puzzle Collage

Hello Everyone!!

Last night I got together with my three Dear Friends (Michele, Shirley, & Iris). We created this awesome altered art Christmas puzzle collage. We first started with a blank chipboard puzzle and then embellished with various collage sheets designed by Michele from Swing Shift Designs. She creates beautiful vintage collage design sheets. You can find them HERE. We decorated our own puzzles and then at the end we exchanged 3 pieces each from our own puzzle. This is the finish product of our altered art project. I hope you enjoy me sharing this with you. We had a wonderful time sharing with each other and crafting the night away. :)

I adhere the puzzle pieces to medium weight chipboard and then embellished it with some vintage lace I had in my stash. As well as adding one of my handmade organza flowers & some stick pins (2 of them are from a swap & 1 is handmade by me).

Christmas Cards & Tags

Hello Everyone!!!

The Christmas Season is upon us and I started working on my Christmas greetings this year. I have until Friday, December 10th to get some of my cards out for a few of my oversea friends and the others will be mailed shortly after.

I used various embellishments, handmade organza flowers, gift tags I purchased at Michaels, Christmas buttons, etc.

These are the tags I created so far:








I also made a few stamped image cards and colored the images with Copic Sketch Markers. I'm still learning how to use these markers to their full capability. I used clear stamps from Stampavie. I really love them as they are so whimsical. I hope you enjoy them too.









Last but not least a layout page I created for my Mom. I used the Heartwarming Vintage Creative Scraps by Crafty Secrets. My Mom loves Angels so I thought this would be perfect instead of a greeting card. I can't wait to give it to her.
