Bellariffic Friday, Flutter By Wednesday & Sketch Saturday

Ooooh - I was so excited to see I won another $10 at Stamping Bella last week!  Lemme tell ya, it doesn't take me long to pick out something new that I want over there!  LOL  Here's my card for this week's Bellariffic Friday - Halloween


I colored this sassy Bella with a combination of Prismacolor markers & pencils with mineral spirits.

My next card was made for 2 challenges, the:

Flutter By Wednesdays Challenge - Use Your Scraps

Sketch Saturday Challenge


I used Sleeping Flower from A Day for Daisies, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and SU! markers.  Cardstock and DP are also from SU! in Apricot Appeal and Garden Green, all of those pieces of DP were from my scrap bag.  Hope you all have a great weekend!  Peace.

JSL Christmas Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to OUR CHRISTMAS BLOG HOP from JUST SOME LINES!  Today we are showing off the remaining 12 NEW Christmas images that can be found at the JUST SOME LINES SHOP (the 13th image was shown as a SNEAK PEAK on the Just Some Lines blog yesterday).  Jehanne has created some FABULOUS images for us and you will definitely want to check them all out by hopping around to our DT members' blogs.

We have some fun prizes for you to win, so make sure you stop at each blog along the hop route and leave a comment - winners will be chosen from the comments.

You are now at StampinAngelJenn's blog - you should have arrived from Chelsea's Creative Corner Too.  If you haven't come from there, please go back to the Just Some Lines blog and start at the beginning.

Today I am using Reindeer Party Hard for one of my creations.  I wanted my card to be festive, so I kept it pretty simple - I love the look of the Gold Glow Smooch Spritz over the image & text, wish you could see it better in the picture:


I colored my image with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  "party" is a sticker from SRM Stickers, and the gold ribbon tag is from a piece of scrap ribbon.

Next up is a wintery card using the sweet Winter Aleks:




I colored him with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and mounted onto a piece of cardstock that had been water-colored with light blue paint.  I sprayed the entire thing with Silver Foil Smooch Spritz and added some snowflake punches.

I hope you enjoyed your stop, now it's off to the next blog, which is Marie's Cardmakingbird.  Have fun and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win!
