Stardust Enchantress

Hello everyone!  I hope you're having a nice weekend so far:)  We had a baby shower yesterday, and today is a football day for us.

Princess Rory

Happy Sunday!  How has your weekend been so far? Mine has been busy and loud - my youngest had a birthday party and some of his friends stayed for a sleepover, so I need a day of rest today, lol.  First, I want to share my card for the new challenge on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog. Our theme for this challenge is 'Once Upon a Dream'.  We want to see your fairytale projects!  For my card I used the sweet Princess Rory..  You can find her and tons of other gorgeous digis in the Lacy Sunshine Stamp Store.  Do you think my card is fit for a princess?

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - E13, E15, E17 & E19; dress - RV19, RV52 & RV55; crown - Y21, Y26, Y28 and various Wink of Stella glitter markers.  The image is printed on x-press paper.

Isn't she lovely?

I wanted to do something happy and bright for the card, so I used Bazzill cardstock, KaiserCraft paper and sticker (Fiesta), ribbon, gold crown pin, LaLa Land die and Wild Orchid flowers.  I have a couple of young nieces that might like this one.  Perhaps I should make another and send one to each. I invite you to head on over to the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog, check out the amazing projects out DT has made for your inspiration, and to play along with our challenge! 

Thank you for stopping by today.  I appreciate it more than you know!

Monster Mash!

Halloween will soon be upon us, and over at the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog we are celebrating by having a 'Monster Mash' themed challenge.  We want to see your spooky, scary, cute or fun (or any/all combinations of that) projects! You can find tons of images in the Lacy Sunshine Digi Shop which would be just perfect! For my project I am using Eleanor & Pickles Ve Vant Candy!  Instead of making a card like I usually do, I decided to make an altered printers tray.  I would love to know what you think!

The Copics I used are: skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E93 & R11; hair - V09, V12 & V15; dress - YG17, YG21, YG23 & YG25; pumpkin - YR65 & YR68; frog - YG17, YG21, YG23 & YG25; capes - BV20, BV23, BV25 & BV29.  The image is printed on x-press paper. 

How cute are they? 

To decorate the printer's tray, I used paper from WeR, stickers from Paper House Productions and Recollections,  and ribbon. The chipboard embellishments I have had for ages, and do not know who they are from. 

I used a lot of foam adhesive to add dimension inside the different sections.  I also rolled some paper (see below), and stacked strips of paper mounted with foam adhesive in the upper corner.

I had so much fun with this one!  It's now part of my Halloween decorations inside my home. Please help us celebrate Halloween by heading over to the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog and joining our 'Monster Mash' challenge. The DT has awesome projects to inspire you!

Annabelle Melancholy Moppet

Hi everyone!  It is time for a brand new challenge over on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog!  I had so much fun with the theme of this one - Weird and Whimsical.  We want to see projects that are somewhat 'strange'...think Tim Burton. For my project, I am using the image Annabelle Melancholy Moppet. Don't you think she's perfect for this theme?  

The Copics I used are: hair - E08, E19, YR14 & YR18; eyes - YG93, YG95 & YG97; lips - R56 & RV32; hat - V93, V95 & V99; clothing - V93, V95, V99, YG93, YG95, YG97, B12 & B16; shoes - W5, W7 & W9; bench - E71, E77 & E79; bird - W2, W5, W7 & Y17; flowers - Y17, Y32, B12, B16, E42 & E47. The image is printed on x-press paper.

Even before I started coloring her, I knew I was going to have to use paper and stickers from the Graphic 45 line 'Olde Curiosity Shoppe'.  It is one of my favorite paper lines ever!  I also used Bazzill cardstock, tulle trim, flowers from WIld Orchid, and dies by Memory Box and LaLa Land Crafts.  So not what I normally create, but I love it!  I might have to try this theme again sometime!  Please hop on over to the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog to check out the other 'Weird and Whimsical' projects by the amazing DT, and to play along with this fun challenge!  Thanks for stopping by:)
