SC Turtle lurv Thank you card

Welcome back guys and I know I've been filling you up with cards this week lol! So many things going on with my teams and we're getting ready for the Holidays, new releases and CHA creations behind the scenes as well.
Yup CHA is right around the corner and I have tons of homework!

 

Anywhoo well Saturated Canary is back with a new challenge and you guys this one is very easy for many. Who does not distress please raise your hands.

 Ok well if you don't distress could be translated as distress your paper you know rip it up a bit or how about distress coloring. You could do the watercoloring and I know it could be done with the alcohol markers too. Anyways have fun and rip something up lol! Just a little bit because I know it's hard to rip pretty paper lol!

 

This is also card number 3 for a commission order I got but I'm thinking I might have to eliminate the RoseRed card. Don't know... but It might be more than likely. I just think it didn't go with the Willow card and this one. I have another one in the works OMG I haven't started but I'm so anxious and yup another SC card lol!

 

The image I have colored today is a Saturated Canary Turtle lurv digi and I used copics on MIC blending paper. I didn't insert the coloring recipe but if you ask. I still have them aside so I could pretty much put it together ((whispering... I'm too tired aka lazy to do it now lol)

Oh ...... I'm sure I'm gonna end up adding it later. You know which reminds me if you see something colored on my blog with no recipe. If you're interested I do write them down and have piles of sticky's lol! Just a matter of going through them :P

 

Ok a few pictures

 

 

 

 

I hope you like my card and please swing by the challenge blog to see what my DT sisters have created.

 

That's it for me for this week and I'm not sure when I'll be back . I'm sure soon Oh yes I have an Alby image due soon :)

 

Thanks for all the lovely comments and emails.

Don't forget you could follow me on Facebook and on pinterest too :)

SC Willow and the post is HERE if you like to take a gander.

Let's talk about today's card :)

 

 

This is RoseRed available in a rubber stamp and you could find her on the

Little Darlings online store. I colored her with so many watercoloring mediums lol! I like to combine them from all sorts of lines. I have some Tim Holtz DI PADS and DI refills for more intense color. I also used my Marvy markers and my Derwent Inktense pencils (LOVE LOVE LOVE) I love them all actually lol! I need to get me more Tim's distress markers though.

 

My simple "thanks" sentiment is from the Warm Fuzzies Everyday sentiment collection and is also available on the Little Darlings store.

Magnolia-licious Christmas blog hop

Welcome everyone to the Christmas/ winter blog hop and joining the Magnolia-licious DT is the ubber talented Scor-pal DT!!!

 

This is going to be so much fun!
Please read the complete details to the challenge and contest running
over the Magnolia-licious blog.
I want to make sure you get accurate deets :)

Now If you are just swinging by and want to join the hop start from the Magnolia-licious challenge blog. If your coming from the sweet talented Janice then your
are aaaa ooo kkk. I bet she had another stunning creation for us to drool.

I decided to create a box to fill with crafty goodies and layer a card front on top.
I had measurements for a smaller size box but with simply adding a few inches to the recipe I managed to create this 6x6 box.
what I did was cut a 10x10 paper for the base and score 2" on all sides. I cut and glued.
Then for the top
I cut an 8x8 paper and scored at .75" on all sides, cut and glued as well.
I added a decorative edge using the Tilda lace die and that is it. Since the top was going to be loaded there was no need to add more to the actual box.

I'm showcasing Snow scarf Tilda and she's colored with copics. I added dimension to her hat and sweater with pop up dots. Also adding some frantage, stickles and prima fine glitter to add some glitz.

Tilda is enjoying some snow fun by a
Make It Crafty Christmas background name cold by light.

 

I hope you like my box and I hope my assigned secret santa does too lol! Shhhhhhh

she might be around so I can't say much :P
I'm filling it with some crafty goodies that I hope she will enjoy.

Ok peeps I'm sending you to the next designer and get ready to get blown away by the gorgeous amazing Chris Dark (in my oprah voice) I can't wait to see what she's done :)

Thank you all for stopping by and please enjoy the hop but before you leave me please pick up your magical letters and they are
w,d

Sweet kisses

Melissa's Balloon muscle definition for MIC

 

Guess what MIC challenge blog has a very fun exciting theme.This time as you know you have the option of playing an easy challenge which is using skin tone colors you usually DON'T use and the harder one for some is defining bone and muscle structure.

 

I actually have the tendency to do this to many of my images. Well I try lol! but I have to say I might of picked the wrong image to do this one lol! Ok can you say "Orphan" much lol! (crazy good movie)

 

I colored MIC Melissa's balloon and as you can see she seems a little over the edge as is and I enhanced her muscles......... baaahaaaa  ummmm yeah ...... I wouldn't get close to her. I think what helped tone her down was those chubby cheeks me thinks.

 

 

 

 

 

I hope I give you some inspiration and ideas how to enhance bone structure or muscles like Melissa :) If you wish to give this challenge a try I say print on a regular copy paper and use a pencil to pick your shades and enhance slowly. Then take your result and transfer your idea  with your markers to your good paper. That will help you as a guide and make things much smoother for you. Remember

 keep it fun and don't give up :)

 

I hope you like my card and for more inspiration please visit my gal pal teammies for exquisite inspiration over the challenge blog HERE.

*********************************

 It was my Lauren's bday on Monday 11-11-13 uhhh  just realized she was one day off for the crazy number people were trying to get married on. 11-12-13.

This was just a small cake we bought her since her party is in the works. I LOVE the picture were she's covering her smile LMBO! she has never done that before so I think it was cute. I think she was on cloud 9 because we were all singing to her.

 

I did her a quick crown so she could take to school since she was giving away cream puffs to the teachers and cupcakes to her class. I wanted her to wear a special bday crown.

The name was cut in different pink tones but the camera kept picking up red.

 

 

 

I should of taken the picture before she left to school but I forgot. When she came back home it was a bit beat up by then lol! Oh well sigh...... lol!

 

Well thanks for stopping by my corner and appreciate your comments

Sweet kisses

Heartfelt Thanks

 

Hiya I'm back! I hope everyone is good and how about Halloween so glad that's over with.

 

The kids had a good time until it started pouring on us. Needless to say Sophia went through two costumes that night because her bride dress got wet. Oh  I forgot to mention she was

Day of the Dead bride. My son was some kind of monster??? IDK his father and him picked it out at the party city store sigh...

Lauren was Monster High, Frankenstein something like that?

 I helped enhance the costume with makeup, jewelry and  touches of the accessories. The girls looked awesome and my boy looked well funny lol!! My oldest was working so she snoozed ....poor girl lol!

I didn't get many pictures because I was super busy trying to get them ready for the second time. You see they were sent to school with costumes but when I picked them up it was HELL! Actually that's an understatement....... Sophia had her costume in a plastic bag and her make up was gone! IDK but I guess it was rubbed off  ... just a hot mess!

 

 My Lauren had her dress ripped off because a teacher stepped on it ((rolling eyes) It had a long tail so I could see it was an accident and since it was raining super hard after school her make up was ruined, hot mess too!

My son just had to throw his costume on so he was stress free and he was enjoying  watching us girls struggle....MAN PFFFFT!!!

 

 

Orlando didn't have his costume on when I took the picture so he didn't get to come out on it.

 (I think he's going through a stage ugh) The morning touch ups were nicer. Lauren had gold glittered hair and the face paint was much nicer. Sophia's face painting was a bit more detailed and she had pink curly hair lol! :) Oh well there's always next year.

 

 

 *************************************

 

Ok so now for my scheduled card posting.

 

Saturated Canary has a new challenge and this time we are following a fun sketch by my talented friend and teammie Maria.

 

I'm showcasing one of Krista's new digis .

Her name is Willow and she's colored with copics and a very few Spectrum Noirs. I substituted the copics I didn't have or just ran out of ink with SN :)

 

My DP is from the Petals and Lace available over Little Darlings online store. I love it it's so pretty and the soft colors are gorg!

 

I just had such a relaxing time coloring her hair and I kept thinking all the different ways her hair could be colored. Maybe I'll do a tute on the different ways to color her hair because the ideas were just over flowing.

Watch me forget about it when the time comes lol!!! It always happens lol!

 

Anyways here are a few pictures

 

 

Stop by the challenge blog for more inspiration from the team.

 

Thanks for the comments and I'll be back very soon

 

Sweet kisses
