Dressed For a Party


The big decision with this image was what to put on her outstretched hand?  Seeing as how I had added glitter to her dress, I decided on a very small purse.  Such a cute free image from Back to Paper to be used in the CDACPC 13  Series 3 Challenge which ends on March 14th.  A new Progressive Challenge with new images will begin then and run until the end of March.
I have colored the image with copics, adding some silver glitter to her dress.  The handbag is a stamp from Crafter's Companion, just the right size for this image.  Had fun with the designer paper I used, positioning it so that it looks like she has crown on her head.  The sentiment has been computer generated.

 Went for my Mammogram to-day - hope everyone has this check up every couple of years, or more often if needed.  One of my closest friends went for her checkup recently and they discovered a small lump since the previous exam.  They were able to remove it and also took the lymph nodes from under that arm.  She will have radiation treatments, but should be okay.

Just a Flower


This lovely flower image free from Glitterbabe is to be used in the CDACPC13 - 3rd Series Progressive Challenge.  When entering the challenge you receive 5 digital images, to use.  If you enter a least one in the challenge you will receive free images for the next part of the challenge.  If you find you can't do this, you have the opportunity of buying in again for $1.00.  This part of the challenge runs until March 14th.
I have used the flower in 3 sizes, layered them with pop dots and added a Making Memories Metal Sticker in the Center.  The flower is mounted on a die cutout from Spellbinders.  The background pieces of the card were run through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots Folder.  Then the three sections of the card were glued together to form a T-Pee Card.   (The card looks quite red in the photo, but it is actually a bright pink.)

Spring Butteflies and Flowers


This card is for the Series 3 CDACPC13 Progressive Challenge.  This image from Crafting With Jack does make you think of Spring and of the flowers that will soon be blooming.  The background is DP from Color Bok.  I first stamped the butterfly on a transparency, embossed it with gold and then mounted it on a piece of shiny white cardstock that I had stamped with a pad using Tim Holtz Alchol Inks.  I used pop dots behind the butterfly to make it sit above the flowers.  The larger flowers are from Pettaloo, and even though they are meant to be colored I left them white to fit into the background.  The top flower is from my stash.

Strange day to-day it blows and the snow falls, but does not stay, then it is bright and sunny, I guess it is just telling us that winter isn't over yet!  Just a few more weeks of curling left for this season.
