Unicornmania

This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is to have Something to Say.  Use a sentiment on your project and you can play along!

This week I used Unicornmania from The Paper Shelter for my project.  Unicorns have always been popular, but now they are everywhere!  And everything has a unicorn horn!  This sweet girl came with a background paper as well, but it was square and I couldn't make it fit my card.  My sentiment is a simple foiled tag that I found in the Target dollar bins.  Love rummaging through those bins!

You have a chance to win fabulous prizes from The Paper Shelter in our challenge.  Three digital images will go to this week's winner.  You can click the badge below to check out all of the darling images in the shop.  Each image comes in a pack with a background paper, two colored images, two black and white images, and a composite of the colored image on the background paper.  With those sweet faces staring at you, it will be difficult not to fill your cart!

The White Queen

Hello MoonFlower fans!  I have an amazing new MoonFlower digital stamp to share with you today.  It is the newest member of the MoonFlower family, Lilly, starring as the White Queen!

I kept to a white and gold color combo.  Her hair didn't turn out quite the way I pictured it, but the White Queen's hair is not easy!!  She was colored with Copic markers, and I will try another time with a different color combo.  I couldn't quite find the right one for the tones of the White Queen's hair.  Her crown and jewelry have gold Wink of Stella for some amazing shimmer and shine.  I also used the gold Wink of Stella pen on the white flower for the perfect touch of sparkle!

Be sure to pop into the MoonFlower Facebook group from time to time!  Andreia previews the new digis and posts the latest MoonFlower news.  You won't want to miss it.

A Star, a Star...

Hello everyone!  Have you started your countdown to Christmas?  Have you started to panic yet?!  I sure have!  In an effort to calm myself and get into the holiday spirit, I have been listening to Christmas music.  Not sure it is working, but hey...It was worth a shot!  One of my favorite carols is Do You Hear What I Hear? and this project made me think of that song.

Our challenge this week at the Crafty Gals Corner is anything goes.  All of our December challenges are anything goes to make it easy to play along.

I used Demera Star Angel from Faery Ink for my project.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  I also cut the star card base using the Silhouette Cameo.  Demera's stars have a touch of gold Wink of Stella so that they have some gorgeous shimmer.

Faery Ink is our sols sponsor this week.  You have a chance to win 3 digital images from the shop.  If you haven't seen the recent releases, click the badge below so you can pop over to the shop and check them out.  You will be glad you did!

Why not take some time out of your Christmas panic...rush...and put together a crafty project to play with us.

Just Riding

It is time for a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments Designs.  It is also time for a new release!  It is always so exciting to be on the Crafty Sentiments team during a new release!  So many adorable stamps to see!

I got to play with this adorable stamp called Just Riding.  She will be available in the shop at the end of the week.  She was colored with Copics.  I added some silver Wink of Stella to the star on her hat so it is gorgeous and sparkly in real life.  I just realized her pony should have some ground to walk on!  I will have to fix that!

Make sure you visit the inspiration blog this week because all of the new releases will be on display there this week.  You won't want to miss it.

The challenge theme this week is anything goes, so make sure to play along.  There have been some changes to the prizes, so be sure you take a look so you know what the changes are.

Getting Witchy!

Welcome back for another challenge at the Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  Our challenges are always anything goes so it is so easy to play along.  Just make sure you are a follower so you are eligible to win our awesome prizes.

I used Witch's Cat from Sami Stamps for my project for the challenge.  It was colored with Copics and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  Unfortunately, the greens got a little yellow in the photo, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get them to look the way they do in real life.  Crazy technology! There is a touch of silver Wink of Stella on the broom and the buckle of the hat.  It goes with the sparkle in the paper so well!

We have two fabby sponsors this week.  The badges have been link to each shop, so I have made it super easy to make a wish list and find a few favorites to add to your carts.  You're welcome!

Wish

This week at the Crafty Gals Corner we would like to see your Birthday projects.  I don't ever seem to have enough birthday cards on-hand, so I love a good birthday challenge!

When we were kids, we used to blow on the dandelions and make a wish.  If you got all of the seeds off in one blow, your wish would come true!  I am sure we were responsible for seeding the entire neighborhood hoping all of our wishes would come true.  As soon as I saw Dandelion Fae from Faery Ink, it brought back that memory and I thought she would make a good birthday card.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.

You have chances to win prizes from two fabulous sponsors this week.  Click the badges below to pop over to each shop.

Prize of 1 digital image

and

Prize of 3 digital images

So what are you waiting for?!  I know that you know someone who has a birthday!  Go get creative!

Summertime

We have a great challenge for you this week at Crafty Sentiments Designs.  It is getting warm outside (north of the equator, anyway!) and our thoughts are turning to summertime fun!  Our challenge this week is Summer.  Either summer activities, colors, or something that reminds you of summer.

I chose the stamp Primrose - Beach Life for my project.  She is colored with Copics and fussy cut by hand.  I really need to take some time to learn how to use my PixScan mat!  That would make cutting out stamps so much easier!

You have the chance to win three digital stamps of your choice from the Crafty Sentiments Designs store.  Click the badge below to check out all of the adorable digis on offer.  While you are there, check out all of the wonderful rubber stamps too!

I can't wait to see all of your summertime inspiration!

Celebrate

Hello everyone!  It's Thursday so that means it is time for a new challenge at Creative Knockouts.  This week we have an anything goes theme to get back into the swing of things after the holidays.

This week I used Party Cats from SLS Lines and colored them with Copic markers.  They were cut using my Silhouette Cameo.  This is the first time I have ever made a shaker card and I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  I learned a few things for next time, though.  I thought this card was awesome for New Year's but it also works for a birthday card.

I didn't have a star die, so I cut the star using a Silhouette cut file.  I used the same cut file to make the star frame as well.  The sentiment is also a Silhouette cut file.  You can't tell in the picture, but the paper is a gorgeous gold glitter paper.  It is a printable glitter card stock, but I don't think I will ever print on it.  It is so sparkly in real life!

SLS Lines is our awesome sponsor this week.  You have the chance to win three digital stamps from the shop.  Click on the badge below to head over and start making your wish list.

With an anything goes challenge, it is so easy to play along.  I hope to see your project in the challenge!

Star Stampz has a New to You challenge.  The Party Cats love their new shaker window and their new home on this card so they are going to play in that challenge. (both the digi and shaker technique are new to me)

Sassy Studio Designs has an anything goes challenge.  These Party Cats would like to play in that challenge.

Quirky Crafts has a celebrate challenge.  These Party Cats are set to go and are going to celebrate in the challenge.

Happy Blogiversary!

Hello!  Welcome to the next stop on the Crafty Gals Corner blogiversary blog hop!  You should have come here from Lisa's blog.  I am sure she had some wonderful inspiration for you.  If you didn't get here from Lisa's blog, head over the Crafty Gals Corner so you can start at the beginning and see all of the gorgeous projects my teamies have whipped up for you.  We have another anything goes challenge, so very easy to play along again this week.

For my project I used Aurora - The Best Gift Ever from The East Wind.  Aurora and her kitty were colored with Copic markers.  The background paper is a gorgeous freebie from the Winter Frost pack that was available in the Art by Miran Facebook group.  Tracy Wray makes some beautiful papers and they offer them for free!

The heart snowflake is a Silhouette cut file.  I wanted something wintery and this snowflake (technically a doily =P) was the perfect complement for this image.
