Love and Kisses

Wow!  It is already time for another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner!  I cannot believe it is Wednesday already!  I just went back to work and the days are just flying by for me.  This week our challenge is anything goes.  We know how much you love them, so we have one anything goes each month.

This week I used Sea Turtle Kiss from Aurora Wings for my project.  What a sweet little mermaid!  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette.  I wanted something sea themed for her so I cut out a shell shaped easel card using my Silhouette Cameo.  I just copied, flipped, and welded the shell shape to make the card base and then cut out a single shape from a pearly card stock.  All of the sea weed and coral were cut using the Silhouette as well.  The coral was traced from a line drawing of coral I found.

This area has a large sea turtle population.  They nest on the beaches around here and there is a large volunteer force that makes sure all the hatchlings make it to the sea unharmed.  It is a wonderful sight to behold and I hope to see it in person one day!

This week you have a chance to win a $15 gift certificate from our fabulous sponsor Aurora Wings!  Mitzi's designs are to die for!  You can see for yourself by clicking the badge below.

It's anything goes so why not play along for the chance to win?!

More Valentines!

It is time for a new challenge at the Corrosive Challenge.  February is the month for love, so our theme is Love Love Love.  Show us the love!

I used Valentine's Girl from Aurora Wings for my project for you.  She was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The frame she is on was also cut on the cameo.  It was cut from printable glitter paper that has some gorgeous sparkle to it.  I found the paper on clearance after Christmas, so had to get a couple of pads of course!

A Little Cupcake

Welcome back, Crafty Gals Corner fans!  It is time for a new challenge.  This week it is Anything Goes.  I can't believe it has been a week already!  The good news is my crafty space is almost back in order after our move.  I am so happy.  It is so difficult to make a project while digging in this bin and that box to find what you are looking for.

This week I used Cupcake Sprite from Aurora Wings.  I added glass microbeads to the frosting "hair" where there were sprinkles in the image.  I also colored the cupcake wrapper with gold Wink of Stella, but of course trying to capture that sparkle in a picture is nearly impossible!  Trust me!  It shimmers in real life.

Aurora Wings is our sole sponsor this week and you have a chance at a prize of a $15 gift certificate for the store!  I wish I could play along!  Click the badge below to pop over to the shop and look at all of the wonderful images that $15 could buy you!
