Season's Tweetings

This week at Crafty Sentiments Designs we are all about snowmen.  Our snowman challenge will have you rolling snowballs and looking for the perfect lumps of coal for eyes and buttons.

I used Snowman and Friends for my project.  This sweet snowman has some friends visiting.  I colored the stamp with Copic markers.  The sentiment is computer generated and the background paper is from Echo Park's Winter Wishes collection that is available digitally from Snap Click Supply.

You have a chance to win some great Crafty Sentiments prizes. As always, you don't have to use a Crafty Sentiments stamp or image to play, but if you do, you have a chance to win even more.

Jingle Bell

This week at Crafty Sentiments Designs we would like for you to use snowflakes on your project.

I used Snowman Bell for my project this week.  This is one of the digi stamps on offer at Crafty Sentiments.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  His bell has a little silver Wink of Stella for some shimmer and shine.  The hat and scarf were cut from glitter paper for some extra sparkle! I used the Spellbinders November small die kit of the month.  You can find out about the subscription kits here.

Here We Go A'Caroling

Whew!  It's a whirlwind week leading up to Christmas and it is time for another challenge at the Creative Knockouts.  This week the theme is Christmas Delight.

For my project, I used the Christmas Carolers set from Melonheadz designs.  I merged 5 of the carolers into one image to create this card.  They were colored with Copic markers and I used the Silhouette to cut them out.  The lamppost and the sentiment are also from the set.

Melonheadz is our sole sponsor and you could win one image bundle for playing along.  And let me tell you...they are jam packed!  Click on the badge below to wander through the shop and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by.  I have to run and keep going with my preparations!  I am so far behind!

Seriously?!

Wow!  I can't believe it is my turn to host the Rubbernecker blog again!  Where does the time go?!  I am so not ready for Christmas!  I do have a fun winter card to share with you though.

This is the same expression I have when the weather turns cold and snowy!  Penguin was colored with Copic markers.  The white embellishments are actually push pins that I found on clearance at Target.  I just popped them off of the pin and then they were a flat-backed embellie!  I always try to watch for things that will work on a card if you just use a little creativity.  The sentiment was computer generated and truly expresses how I feel about winter!  We now live just across the border from the Florida panhandle.  It still gets chilly here, but nowhere near as cold as we have dealt with in the past!

If you haven't been yet, pop over to the blog to see what the rest of the team created this week.  You will love it!  I promise!

Let's Snuggle

This week at Creative Knockouts, the theme is Snow Much Fun.  We want to see your projects with a snowy theme!  What's more fun when it is cold outside than snuggling?!

This is Benson and Betty from Crafty Sentiments Designs.  They certainly are keeping one another warm!  They were colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I cut the background using the Silhouette and the sentiment is a Silhouette cut file that I filled and printed.  The machine got a workout on this card!

This week you have a chance to win 3 images from the Crafty Sentiments Designs digital line.  You can click the badge below to pop over and check them out.

Are you ready to make it snow?!

Let It Snow!

Only...not really!  Welcome back to another challenge at Crafty Sentiments Designs!  This week the challenge is snowflakes.  Add snowflakes to your project.  Crafty snowflakes are so much better than the real ones.  The real ones make it far too cold for me.  That's part of the reason we have moved down south!

For my project I used Snow Angel.  I wanted some frosty colors, so stayed with the lighter blues and purples in my Copic collection.  I added a bit of clear Wink of Stella to the snow in the angel, but of course that stuff is really hard to catch in a photo!  I took some Stampendous! shabby blue frantage, and applied it to a wooden snowflake that I had inked with a white craft ink stamp pad.  I love the way it turned out!

You have a chance to win some wonderful Crafty Sentiments images just for playing along!  If you are chosen as the winner and you used a Crafty Sentiments stamp, then you can win even more!

And I have some exciting news to share!  I have been asked to become part of the permanent design team!  That means I get to keep playing with these adorable images!  How could I possibly say no?!

I hope you will show us your snowy creations!  Remember to use snowflakes to play along.

Wow!  I can't believe it is time for another Rubbernecker post!  The time just flies by!  I have a sweet winter card for you, although I am not ready for winter yet!

This is Zac and his sweet little friends.  He was colored using Copic markers and I added clear Wink of Stella to his bucket hat.  And even though I am not ready for winter, I love his sweet little snowman face. Don't forget to check out the rest of the posts from this week so you can see all of the gorgeous projects my teamies made.

A Little Boo!

Today is my second Rubbernecker Stamps design team post!  It is so exciting to be on this team and working with rubber stamps again.

This sweet little skeleton came from Halloween Set 3 and the sentiment came from Halloween Set 1.
I colored him with copics and the frame is a Silhouette cut file.  It started out as an oval, but I made it into a circle.  The background and banner papers are digital files from Echo Park's Arsenic and Old Lace collection.  You can find them on Snap Click Supply.

Be sure to visit my teamies and give them some love.  They have some gorgeous projects this week!

Yum! Watermelon!

It is time for our new challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week is anything goes, but I am stuck in a summer theme.  It is so hot, I thought watermelon would be a wonderful treat!

I used Watermelon Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls for this project.  She is colored with Copic markers and I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut her out.  I thought the gingham paper gave it a bit of a picnic feel.   Although, right now it is way to hot for a picnic here!

Spots, Dots, and Stripes! Oh My!

Hello everyone!  This week at the Crafty Gals Corner, our challenge for you is Dots and/or Stripes.  I love dots and stripes together, so I chose to use them both!

I used this adorable image called Fruity Babies Watermelon from our sponsor Scrapper's Delights.  She was colored with Copic markers.  I have gone pretty fussy and fancy lately, so I decided to keep this card a little simpler.  All of the "enamel dots" are melted pony beads.  They smell bad when melting, but they sure are an easy way to add to that scrap stash!

Scrapper's Delight is our sole sponsor and you have a chance to win 3 digital images by linking your dots and/or stripes project to this challenge.  You can click the badge below to check out all of the wonderful images on offer.

I hope you will come play with us.

This is Gina Caribe.  She is the newest release in the MoonFlower line up.  She was so much fun to color and she makes me want to hit the beach!  I have had the scrap of patterned paper forever and knew it was the perfect backdrop for Gina.  I matched my Copic colors to the paper too.

The flip flop card is a Silhouette cut file.  It came with all of the layers and I just had to size it for my use and cut away.  All of the designs are 50% off until May 10th too!  So bonus!

Life's a Beach

It is time for another challenge at Creative Knockouts.  This week our theme is Outside Fun.  It is a pretty broad theme so I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I used Rory on the Beach from Lacy Sunshine this week and colored her with Copic markers.  This is where I like to spend my outside fun.  It helps that I live on the border of Florida and Alabama and the beach is just down the road!  Here in the Gulf, we have white sand beaches that I think are absolutely gorgeous.  So Rory is on the Gulf Coast!
