9-5: Dolly Parton Instagram Tribute Hop

 Good morning - we have a fun Instagram hop happening this morning inspired by Dolly Parton and all things sparkly!  Come check it out - details are on my IG page here.

I created my card with one of the digis from Krista Smith that reminded me of Dolly Parton's 9-5 movie! I created my backgrounds on watercolor paper with Distress Oxide Inks and Mica Spray Stains. Deckled edge nesting dies are from Mama Elephant:

My Story

 I totally forgot to post the cover of my little mini art journal! I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Creative Artiste - Anything Mixed Media Goes

Art Journal Journey - Fall

I used some Gesso and texture paste on the cover, inking as I went along with ink pads and sprays. My clipart is from Art Outrageous. I die cut the letters for my name and added some stickers from a Tim Holtz sticker book. Peace.

EEK - tag

 I wanted to squeeze one more orange & black project in! LOL  So this little tag below is for the following challenges:

Cut it Up #365 - Orange & Black

Two Old Bats - Anything Halloween Goes

Outlawz September - Anything But a Card

Outlawz September - Main Linky

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

I used lots of sprays, inks, some crackle paste and a spiderweb stencil on watercolor paper to create this tag (Luggage Tag Wafer Dies - Sugar and Spice -from Simon Says Stamp). I sponged the edges with black ink and simply added some die cut spiders and the word EEK - tied it off with some black twine-type ribbon. Peace.

Too Cute to Spook

 It's a good thing I make a lot of my projects ahead of time because I have not had a second to sit down and play in my craft room for over a week!  I finally got in there yesterday and it felt so good. It's truly therapeutic to me.

I'd like to enter my card below into the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - K is for Kitten (I hope her costume counts! LOL)

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

Passion for Markers - For a Child

I created my backgrounds with watercolor paper - the black is Black Soot Distress Oxide Spray with water and the orange is Lindy's Magicals Haunted Halloween Hag's Wart Orange. The digi I used from All Dressed Up is called Boo - I Can See You Girl (she's not currently in the shop but there are lots of other adorable images to choose from)! I colored her with Copics and used a deckled/torn edge nesting die to cut her out. I attached a little ticket ephemera from Unity Stamp Co. and added a sticker from my stash (SRM Stickers) on the top piece that I die cut with one of the banners from the Decorative Sentiment Dies set from Emily Moore Designs. Peace.

hello Autumn!

 Good morning! I just realized we only have one week left of September!  How did that happen? LOL I wanted to make sure to share the rest of my September stencil projects from:

This one is called Waning Leaves, don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off:

I used Lindy's Magicals for everything on this one - so first I used the magicals through my stencil by simply sprinkling, spritzing lightly with water, and letting dry. I then used the same Magicals like watercolors and just painted them on some scrap watercolor paper. Once dry, I die cut the leaf sprig and the word "hello" and then used the last piece to apply a strip across the middle of the card. I tore the edges of the panel and attached to a green card base.I wish you could see the sparkle on this!!!

Enjoy Life - All Dressed Up New Release: Crown of Hearts

Good morning!  The Dressy FB Girls have some more inspiration for you today using our new release images!

I used Crown of Hearts. This was a retired digi that I saw someone else use and I asked our fearless leader, Wendy, to bring her back. She made a few updates and I got my wish - I'm very lucky to be a part of this awesome design team! Isn't this digi just adorable? I loved her so much that I made 2 cards with her.

I colored her with Copics and used some pretty Fall papers and nesting arch dies from Unity Stamp Co. I added a die cut feather and some little sentiment stickers from a Tim Holtz sticker book.

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Make Your Own Background

Passion for Markers - For a Child

Paper Funday #91 - AG/Optional Sketch

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Creative Knockouts #579 - Anything Goes

I created my background with Pewter Mica Spray on a piece of watercolor paper - I sprayed with water and let it drip while drying with my heat tool. I printed out the Crown Hearts digi (All Dressed Up) large and used my deckled edge circle nesting die from Mama Elephant to die cut just the top part of her. I colored her with Copics and Stickles and added some rhinestone stickers. The hearts, word "hugs", and larger deckled edge circle behind her were die cut from a scrap piece of watercolor paper that I had distressed with Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. I sponged the edges of the hearts with a little bit of black ink. Peace. 

Calls Answered Day or Night

 Good morning - wanted to get this posted quickly for the:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Transport It!

I thought a witch on a broom was a clever transportation idea!  ;)

I used the Flying Witch and the Magic Runes stencils from the September release at A Colorful Life Designs - you can use code JennFan10 for 10% off your order at the shop! I used Mica Spray Stains for the background, Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink for the witch, embossed with sparkly clear embossing powder. I cut her out with nesting arch dies from Unity Stamp Co.

Peace.
