Bewitching!

Hello everyone!  It is challenge time again at Creative Knockouts and it is anything goes this week.  So you are free to create whatever you choose and join in.  Easy Peasy!

This bewitching lady is Esme from Nikki Burnette.  I love to create cards with a Halloween theme!  She needs the perfect sentiment though.  I will have to think on it!  She was colored with Copics and I cut her out with a little help from my best chum the Silhouette Cameo.  Not sure what I would do without that thing!

Nikki Burnette is our sponsor this week and you have a chance to win three images of your choice.  There are so many fabulous images to choose from.  Click the badge to pop over to the shop and see what I mean.

Since it's anything goes, why not play along?!

Seeing Double

Hello!  It is time for the Crafty Gals Corner challenge!  Our challenge this week is Emboss It.  We want to see embossing of some sort on your project.  And no...you aren't seeing double!!  I have created two projects for this challenge.  We have a brand new sponsor here in the Crafty Gals Corner so I created an extra project to celebrate!  See if you can guess from the picture who the sponsor is and then read on for the answer!

This project is using Cadence from Nikki Burnette.  Nikki has such a wide range of images and this one just leaped off the page for me.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  She has a bit of clear Wink of Stella on her wings.  Because as I have said before, fairy wings should be sparkly.

And this is our new sponsor!  Can you guess the company from the image?  If you guessed The Paper Shelter, you would be correct!  This is Cirque and she is fabulous!  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  All of the images at The Paper Shelter come with their very own paper, a colored and black and white version of the stamp, and one composite with the colored image and the paper combined!  Such a great value.  I have been a fan of The Paper Shelter for a long time and I am so excited they will be sponsoring the Crafty Gals Corner!

So you have seen our two fabulous sponsors and I know you want to pop over and shop, so click the badges below.  The prizes they are offering to the winners are listed below as well.

Thinking of You

Hello everyone!  Welcome back to another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week our challenge theme is Love Is in the Air.  Valentine's Day is on the way and we want to see your projects with a little love.

I used Analiese by Nikki Burnette and colored her with Copics.  She was cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  All of the papers on this card are from The Paper Temptress.  She has so many amazing papers.  If you are a paper hoarder collector like I am, you need to pop over to her website.  I used a piece of Cryogen White for the base card.  I would normally save this for coloring, but it was too small to fit through my printer.  The shimmer of the Cryogen White makes the perfect background for the Laser Silver Lustre background paper.  I was lucky enough to attend the Kit and Clowder craft retreat in Orlando and received a goody bag of papers from The Paper Temptress.  The Laser Silver Lustre paper was in there!  The red is a scrap of Red Pepper Thick Columns that I had left from previous projects.

We have three wonderful sponsors for you this week.  Click the badges to pop over to each shop to see what they have to offer.

Bingo!

Hello everyone!  It is time for the next challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week you get to play Bingo!  Well...I guess it is more like tic tac toe, but you get the idea!  Your project must contain three objects in a line diagonally, horizontally or vertically from the chart below.

This week we are being sponsored by Nikki Burnette.  For my project, I used Telsa.  She is such a fabulous image.  I colored her with Copics.  I actually have two Bingo lines completed with this project: 2+ Layers, Hand Colored Digi, Punches/Die Cuts and Flowers, Buttons, Punches/Die Cuts.   I struggled getting this put together.  For every embellishment I added, I knocked two off!  I was certainly having a fat-fingered moment!  I think it must have been extra humid, because it was taking forever for the glue to dry.  I am not the most patient person and hate using liquid glue, but I have struggled with my glue dots since moving to Florida.  They never seem to hold the embellishments long.  The background and the frame were both cut using my Silhouette Cameo.  The background is a cut file that you can find in the shop here and the frame I made myself.  I welded some gear cut files I found in the shop (here and here) onto a square cut.  I am so happy with the way it turned out.

You can pop over to Nikki's shop and look at all of the wonderful images she has available.  Just click the badge below.

You have a chance to win three digital images from the shop.  It will be hard to narrow it down to three.  I guarantee it!

Come play along!  I can't wait to see what you create for Bingo.
