Pink roses

This is my attempt to color again....
Gosh, I feel like I am taking baby steps again.

Good news is that this card took me day! Yay!! From 3 days to 1 day...I am recovering. Not sure how fast the prognosis is but at least it did not take me 3 days.

 

I have loved this set from Sparkle N Sprinkle since I first lay eyes on it. I am not doing it justice and will have to re-visit when my coloring returns.

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day!!

Wow no groove...What is going on???

I have been busy trying to study for my exam and had a little bit of time off to focus on passing the exam. Good news was that I passed and now life can go on....LOL.
I was just kicking myself on how long it took me to get back into cardmaking! This card here took me ALL weekend and Monday to complete! I am sorry it looked so plain on camera.

I had forgotten how to balance! I kept re-arranging everything over and over and over...it must be a new disorder that I am developing! I was never happy with the layout. The only thing that I like about it was the blue color. It reminds me of Dorothy from Oz....

The blue rhinestones were from a laynard that I had bought from a stamping convention. Turquiose...my new favorite color!

I wanted to add more butterflies but I was tired of the card by the third day....
I am getting there, S-L-O-W-L-Y.... I feel like the tortoise from the "tortoise and the hare".
I will eventually get my groove back,I think?......hopefully soon?

Anyhow, thank you for stopping by and let me know what did you do to get your groove back? Any help is appreciated...

Have a nice day! :)

I just love using the Sparkle N Sprinkle Nature set. It is so versatile and I can not help, but keep making new projects with this set.

I love blue butterflies and thought how fun it will be to do a blue card with blue butterflies!

I did a trifold card with lots of pretty flowers and laces.

The verse is so lovely. I had embossed it in white and sponged blue ink to bring out the words.

I have not gotten a chance to decorating the inside of the card....yet.

 

Here is the inside.

 

The flowers are handmade and the butterflies are water-colored after they had been embossed in black embossing powder.

This is a very fun hop and I really enjoyed creating my project. What I loved about this hop was that it reveals a "theme" rather than just an "image category". There is so much possibilities...
 

And here is what I wanted to share with you:

 

This fold is a fun design for utilizing all those extra pieces of scrap paper that is left-over from previous projects. You can combine various pieces and still be able to make a dazzling project.

This is the front of my card. There are three sides to this fold.  The next picture will show you from the top angle. (It also stands on its own.)

This is the middle side. I used the butterfly from the Sparkle N Sprinkle set called Nature.

I also loved the quotes from the Nature set. I had embossed the words in pearl embossing powder and then sponged green over it to bring out the pearl embossings.

 

 

This is the back side of the card. As you can see, The butterfly is very sparkly. It is embossed in white detail embossing powder and then watercolored. Raspberry soda glitter as applied to the wings, as well as sparkling snow glitter. It is sooooo sparkly in real life.

The card was able to stand on its own and would make a great centerpiece for special occassions. You can see the inside portion as well here.

 You can easily fold it flat when you are ready to put it away. Here is my daughter modeling it for you.

As you can see it folds flat. (The flowers are handmade using Spellbinder's dies.)

My little one wanting to pose with the card. (She just had chocolate milk....chocolate milk mustache.)

 

 

Here it is all flattened out. When you flip it over, you can write a note and send it out as a card to someone special.

It was a really fun project to make.

Room in My heart

 

I just love this sweet sentiment from a Sparkle N Sprinkle set called Hummingbirds and Flowers.

I created this scrapbook pge for my daughter. She loves the Disney Princesses. Her favorite was Cinderella, now it is Ariel.

Belle looks really pretty here. I had her dress all glittered up with sparkles.

Can you see all the sparkles? Wished I can wear poofy-sparkly dresses like that.

 

And of course, I had to throw in a few hand-made flowers. The samped flower is a digi from Sparkle N Sprinkle called Magnolia. When I first saw it, I knew that I wanted to create flower borders with it when I scrapbook. It did not come out as I had envisioned....

Thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear what you love to create!

Have a nice day!

Song Inspiration

Can you see the sparkles? Sparkling Snow glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle. The dandelion flowers/stems were hande made and the center is covered in glitter.

I am entering this into the Saturated Canary Challege. The theme for the challenge was for song inspiration. This card was inspired by the Fergie song called "Big Girls Don't Cry."

 

This princess looks like she is waiting...for what? Sounds like a good story to be told ahead. A fairy tale, perhaps?

 

Have a nice day. :)

Festive Blues

Hello!
I hope that you are having a relaxing weekend. Surviving the first week of the new year.
Can you see the sparkles on the daisies?? Another shiny glitter to love from sparkle N Sprinkle.

The big leopard bow completes the ensemble.

Have a nice day!

Handmade flowers

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek at the prety flowers that I hadmade.I will post more pictures later on.

Blue Mermaid

Howdy! This lovely mermaid is so sparkly! She is another Krista Smith image.

As you can see she is full of sparkles and pearls. The sparkles are from Sparkle N Sprinkle called "Sparkling Snow". The flowers with pearl centers on it are handmade as well. They look quite lovely in real life.

 

 

Have a lovely day!

What's cooking??

I managed to use my new favorite Sparkle N Sprinkle glitter called "Sparkling Snow" on everything. Can you see it?? It is such a pretty sparkle to it, I just love it!

Again, the handmade roses and daisies...and sparkles on her dress.

Ready to Party in my pink dress

What a way to start out the New Year but with a pretty party dress! This is a Sparkle N Sprinkle digi called "put on your party dress". I loved coloring this digi.

 

The image has been propped up on 3-D foam....and full of glitters! A girl can not start off the New Year corrctly without a glittered flowered dress.

The button, daisies, and roses are handmade by me. It looks like a real button but feels lighter than a feather.

Happy New Year!!

What a whirlwind 2012 has been. 2013 is a year to look forward to.....
Happy New Year, everyone!

This is another Krista Smith's image. Loved her work. The sparkles and glitters are from Sparkle N Sprinkle, and I could not help it but added SparkleNSoft flocking on the the tiny little bird.

 He is so fluffy and cuddly!

It is so sparkly in real life!

Have a happy and prosperous New Year ahead!!
