Grace

Hello everyone! 

Today is re-release day over at Simply Steampunk Challenges...

I have for your viewing pleasure...Grace

She is a member of the Steampunk Romance Digis by Abigail Larson

I made the "Christmas Tree" from needle like cutouts that I cut with my Silver Bullet Professional Cutter...they cut like butter out of regular scrapbook paper and no tearing! LOL And the bicycle is a cut file from SVGCuts.com.

Grace was brought into my software (SCAL) and cut out with the Print & Cut method on my SBPro and then colored with Copics.

Copics used:

Skin - E00,50,53,93

Hair - E70,74,79

Green - G43,94,99

Red - R20,24,29

Belt - E33,18

I hope you will stop by the rest of the Design Team's blogs and leave some love...their creations are awesome, as always!

Until later, I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

Pilgrim Corinne

This month over at the SBS Facebook Fan Page

we have a choice of 2 fabulous digi's for the challenge - 

I told them to just send me one, because I was buying the other! LOL 

So the one they sent was Pilgrim Corinne and the requirement for her is Fall Colors

                                         

And here's my card with her:

I used my Silver Bullet Professional electronic cutter and SCAL software to do a print and cut for my Pilgrim Corinne and then colored her with my Copics. I used papers from MME Stella Rose 6x6 pad and brown card for the base. 

Here are the Copic colors used:

Skin: E000,00,50, R20, 22

Earring: Y00,38

Eyes: BG10,23,72, N2

Hair: E04,07,09

Clothing: E41,43,47,49

Turkey: E33,37,39

The one I bought and may not have time to post is Little Indian Betty

the requirement for her is Feathers...

Isn't she just fab?? 

I have her cut and colored, but I'm not happy with it!

I may have to start over...we shall see! LOL 

If you see a card from me with this image, you will know I started again...

I'm so happy you have stopped by today, and I hope to see you again soon!

Until next time, I wish you a blessed and creative day!

Alice Portrait

Hello all, today I'm so excited to showcase another of the fabulous Alice in Wonderland Steampunk Style digis by Abigail Larson available exclusively at SBS. The images from this collection are nothing short of amazing!

Today I am showing Alice Portrait.

 Here's a close-up of Alice...isn't she just sweet!

Of course, she's colored with my Copics. I've added some gorgeous roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, metal additions from Bead Landing and that beautiful hand dyed (by me -LOL) seam binding. The doily was cut with my Silver Bullet Professional electronic cutter and the file I used is a doily file from Monica's Creative Room.

Copics used:

Face E00, 21, 13 R20

Hair E04, 07, 09

Dress G40, 43, 46

Apron E70, 74, 79

Betty Antoinette

We had a fun challenge thrown out by Betty for this new digi she created...

meet Betty Antoinette

                                

Our challenge was Hair - any color but normal hair colors...

no black, brunette, blonde, red, etc. 

So here is my card for this challenge...

My Betty Antoinette has cotton candy hair...a little pink...a little purple...and a tiny bit of 

mint green thrown in! LOL

This was a fun challenge! 

Thank you for stopping by. I hope to see you again soon.

Until later, I wish you a blessed and creative day!

1st Lost Tooth

My sweet granddaughter lost her very first tooth and you know she just HAD to have a card from Nana & Papa to celebrate her bravery in pulling it...and a little cash never hurt either! LOL

So I found in my digi stash from SBS (YES, I said stash...) a fabulous girl called Brittany and she is perfect for my granddaughter!

This will be in the mail tomorrow...


Thank you for stopping by and spending a few moments with me.

Until next time, I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

Mad as a Hatter...

Hello all, today I'm so excited to showcase another of the fabulous Alice in Wonderland Steampunk Style digis by Abigail Larson available exclusively at SBS. The images from this collection are nothing short of amazing!

Today I am showing The Mad Hatter.

Here's a close-up of the Mad Hatter.

  

Of course, he's colored with Copics to match the designer paper from Bo Bunny (Weekend Market Collection). I've added some gorgeous pleated brown satin trim, made into a "rose" type of shape with some typical sewing implements. I have also added a zipper to each side of the digi image.

Remember we have inspiration going all month long at Simply Steampunk so be sure to visit often, and don't forget our current  Party Invitation Challenge that runs through December 5th.  You can use any image as long as it's in the Steampunk Style.  Hope to see you there.

 



 

PHun 4 Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Blog Hop

Welcome to our PHun 4 Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Blog Hop. 

We are sharing awareness on Pulmonary Hypertension, 

and why early diagnosis is so important for PH patients.
 

Phun Phact:

Right-heart catheterization is one of the most accurate and useful tests to get a definitive diagnosis for pulmonary hypertension, and it is required to confirm diagnosis.

 

To learn more on this devastating illness, please visit  

 http://www.phassociation.org/SometimesItsPH/TakeAction

I am honored to be a participant in today's PHun 4 PH Awareness Blog Hop. If you have arrived from Karen's Blog then you are in the right place. However, if you just arrived...why don’t you start at Betty's Blog, so you don’t miss any of the amazing creations.

This fantastic image is courtesy of one of the sponsors -

Betty of Simply Betty Stamps

Since the "color" of Pulmonary Hypertension is periwinkle - I chose to add bright yellow, pink and green to bring this beautiful image to life.

I used my Copics to color the image - the colors I used are:

Ribbon & Wing Tips - B63, BV02, BV04

Wings - Y06, 11, 13

Body - YG21, 23, 67

Spots - RV00, 19, 52, 55,63

In order to receive this fabulous free digi image from Betty, answer the following question and email the answer to:  simplyb10@aol.com with the subject Betty's Image

 "How many treatments are FDA approved for children with PH?"

**remember to email you answer to Betty at simplyb10@aol.com to receive your image**
