WW Reminder & JSL Love

Hi everyone - we have a reminder post for you today at:

 I am also linking this sweet ATC up with the:

2Sisters Challenge: Hearts
and
Digital Tuesday: Hearts

I used an image from our sponsor Redonkulous, Gift of Love, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I used a sweet little heart eyelet that I had and stamped "love" down the side with my mini alphabet set, then just added a few little gems.

 This ATC above uses a gorgeous key image from San's Designs.  I used my embossing pen to apply some gold embossing powder.  I'm not sure where the pretty sentiment came from - if you know, leave me a comment and I'll update the post.  DP is from MME - I added some gold pearls and sprayed the entire thing with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.

And we have a new challenge today at:


I used Emo I Will Catch You, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  Yes, this is the 3rd time this week you've seen this ribbon.  hee hee  Hey, it goes well with love projects!  ;)  DP is from Jillibean, ribbon is from my stash.  Head on over to grab a freebie and play along with us (Just Some Lines images required to play along).  Peace.

A Whole Lotta Love!

Blah.  The damn headache is back.  :(  The thing that really sucks is that Excedrin Migraine is the only pill that seems to help - but I can't keep popping those bad boys down unless I want to be bouncing off the walls. They have caffeine, which also prevents me from taking them at night - and sometimes my headaches get worse at night.  I guess I'll just have to lay low today, good thing I'm basically caught up on everything!

Lots to share today!  First up - we have a new challenge for you today at:


I am also entering my LOVE card into the:


I used Cinnamon Circle Framed, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I used red Stickles on her hearts.  My background paper is a digi paper from Marisa Lerin at Pixel Scrapper.  I added a fat ribbon and some alpha beads - love those things, going to have to stock up again soon!

Next up - we have a new release today at:


I made a little ATC that can be used as a Valentine.  I used the new image "Sending My Love" - I created my ATC background with alcohol inks and added a little purple gemstone heart.  My image is colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and I added some Stickles to the hearts and around them.

And last - entering this card below into the:



I used Poppy Circle Framed from Dilly Beans, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits - I made her a redhead for my buddy Donna.  :)  DP is from My Mind's Eye, one of my neglected pads (from my stash).  Sentiment is from SRM Stickers.  Have a great weekend, my friends.  Peace.

Alice & Riley

Good morning!  My friends back East are currently preparing for a whopper of a snowstorm.  I'm actually a teeny bit jealous!  LOL  The only thing I miss is the actual snowstorm itself.  Everything else - the power outages, the clean-up, the treacherous driving - I don't miss one bit.  Anyway, I'll be thinking of you all.  Stay safe, stay warm.

I have a couple of things for today - first up is a card for the:


and

I used Alice in Wonderland from Alicia's Little Shop, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits (my fave crafty item) and Prismacolor markers.  I used a filmstrip die layered onto my DP and cardstock.  Brads are from Stampin' Up!

Next is my card for:



I stamped Riley directly onto my DP, colored her with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and paper-pieced her.  I used snippets of different ribbons for the ribbon tags and another piece tied on - all from SU!  Peace.

Valentine/Love

Wow - I actually skipped a day of blogging yesterday.  And - I didn't let it drive me crazy.  Go me.  LOL  I've actually been fighting a headache for a few days now and it was weird yesterday, it would go away for a bit and then come back pretty bad.  My headaches/migraines are usually just all or nothing, so it was definitely different.  I managed to get in a bit of coloring in between running the vacuum and catching up on laundry, but that was about it.  I hope today is a productive crafty day!

So anyway - we have a new challenge for you today at:


I'm also entering my little ATC into the following challenges:

and
and
and
and
V's Sweet Ideas 
and 
(My tip: use spritzes & sprays to cover up mistakes!  I smudged some pink ink on the ticket and so I sprayed the whole thing with a pink Shimmer Mist and you'd never know I made a boo-boo)

Our sponsor at Wicked Wednesday is Redonkulous Designs, and I used the sweet Gift of Love image to create my ATC.  She's colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and a bit of marker.  I added a ribbon with a heart charm, some little pink pearl stickers, and a cute freebie ticket that I got from this site here.  Peace.

Tuesday Morning Sketches & TOF & HDH MM

Goooood morning!  Are you ready for some football?  :)  We are!  I even have dinner all prepared and ready to pop in the oven later.  We had a roast chicken dinner yesterday, and my family loves my "leftover casserole" - so that's what I made for today.  I basically take literally everything that's left over and throw it in a casserole dish with some cheese.  So today's casserole includes chicken, stuffing, corn, peas, gravy, mashed potatoes, and cheese.  Mmmmm..... I do leave the cranberry sauce out to serve on the side.  ;)  So who are you rooting for in today's game?  Being that I'm a Cali girl now, I gotta go with the 49er's.  Whatever you're doing and whoever you're rooting for, I hope you have a fun day!

My card today is for:

and


I used my favorite TOF image, Angel Girl, colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits.  I did her halo and eyelashes in gold Stickles and her wings are covered with SU! Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  I used my Tim Holtz flower die for the first time and made that cute flower - not bad, eh?  LOL  Oh and I bought this sweet little set of alphabet stamps at a craft store one day, I could not resist, the set was like $2.  I love the frame around each letter and they are so tiny, they work great for ATC's (which was really what prompted me to buy them).  It says "sparkle" on here, in case you can't see it.  My paper is from My Mind's Eye.

Next up is an art journal page I did for the:


Do you recognize my story?  It's my favorite Stephen King story ever - The Dark Tower.  This line is both the first line of the first book, and the last line of the 7th book.  I'm kinda diggin' this journal page - I found some coloring pages online that worked for my scene including a desert scene, a running man, and a cowboy sitting by a fire.  I fussy-cut them out and glued them to my art journal page, then did a hazy white wash of paint over them to make them less outlined.  I then used acrylic paints to just paint them as figures, I didn't want a lot of detail.  It's funny, as I was painting I was thinking it was coming out childish-looking, unprofessional.  But once it was done and uploaded here,  I really like it!  I truly enjoy painting, but I don't have a lick of talent.  LOL  But it's fun, so I'm going to keep doing it every now and then.  That's what my art journal is for - trying new things and expressing myself artistically.  I love my art journal.  
Have a great day, my friends!  Peace.
