Magical Monday A Merry Christmas Snowman 2
Dru Cabral has the challenge this week at TMITA. She would like for us to use the traditional colors of Christmas of "red and green". I used the Paper Cupcakes diji which I think is so cute. I cut out Christmas lights and glued them around the diji stamp and then used my clear Gelly Roll pen on them and the snowflakes plus the I Believe ticket. I put red cording around the white circle and red around the green paper. Used my Bic-markers on the snowman and colored pencil on his hat. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! You can find this here.

Magical Monday Polar Bear Ride and Christmas Ticket
This week at TMITA, Patti Painter wants us to have fun with "anything goes". It does not have to be a Christmas card. I used my Bic-markers to color the girl and collar on the bear, chalked the background. Punched out the snowflakes and the fancy trim. Made the snowflakes and snow under the bear sparkle. You can find this here.

Friday, November 12, 2010
Debbie Schneider brought this weeks challenge at There's Magic in the Air. She would like us to use non-traditional Christmas colors. I decided to go with orange and yellow. I believe orange belongs to another holiday, but I am sure it wouldn't mind sharing it with Christmas just this once. Of course my gingerbread boy had to stay brown. The orange trim on him is from a glaze pen and I also used roll-on glitter pin on his buttons, pocket and smile. Used my new Martha Stewart punch for the yellow trim. I keep thinking I might take off the flowers and trade them in for snow flakes. You can find this here.

Magical Monday Girl with Flower
Over at TMITA, Jessie Fitzhenry brings this weeks challenge. She would like to see us make a "thank you" card or a "Thanksgiving" card. I choose one of Nina's Paper Cupcakes image of Girl with Flower to make a Thank you card. I used one of my favorite colors for the background and decided to make this a tall card. I used Bic-markers to color the image. Put glass beads center of flower and sparkled the petals. You can't see them but I used green rhinestones for the girls eyes. I know I messed up the hair, was watching Dancing with the Stars last night when doing hair. Just didn't want to redo the card. Maybe I should have put a bow in her hair.
Just pretend she is having a bad hair day. You can find this here.

Magical Monday Cold Days Warm Hearts
The challenge over at Theres Magic in the Air, Pat Peddar would like to see some Chrismas cards with snowflakes on them. I used the image that Nina was so gracious to give everyone. I used paper left over from last Christmas and I colored the image with pencils. I put Stickles on the tree, hearts, snowman wings, and of course the snowflakes that are from a punch. Used a Martha Stewart punch under the snowman. Sorry about having to read comments before putting on site. Seems like the porn people are wanting to use my site to advertise and I am just not into that, just don't have the time. LOL You can find this here.

Magical Monday Easy Does It
This weeks challenge at Theres Magic In The Air is from Patty Nelson. She wants us to use the cute image from Paper Cupcakes and to add some "Bling" to our project. Now I don't really know what bling is, but I did add gel sparkle to the top of all the cupcakes, which does not show up that well. The "raining" cupcakes are also an image from PCC called Kiss Cupcake. I wouldn't mind if it rain cupcakes one day, just as long as I had a cold glass of milk! You can find this here.

Marie made a challenge at TMITA to use any PCC image and not to use any pattern paper. You may emboss, stamp, score, etc, but not store bought paper. I stamped my design on and used a little seahorse button. Put glass beads and half pearls on the sand. Sorry, I still do not know whose little starfish and crab that I have used again. I think they are so cute and go very well with this image, an no decent mermaid would be caught without a string of pearls. You can find this here.

Jessie wants us to use punches for borders, flowers, leaves, hearts, so go crazy with the punches. I used a nesty around the image and then punches for the rest.

Magical Monday Flight of the Fuschia
Amber Hillman brings this weeks challenge over at TMITA. She would like you to use any Paper Cupcake image and to use 3 different pattern papers on the card. You may use more, but use at least 3. I needed a sympathy card for a very dear friend of mine and I really love this image. The pink is not part of the card. The first two papers are so pale you may not see the difference. I think the card is prettier than what it shows. The bird is shaded in a very pale blue. You can find this .

Patti Nelson has asked us to use a Paper Cupcake image and do a Monochromatic theme for this weeks project. The momocromatic does not have to include the image.

Magical Monday Easter Lilies
Sue asked everyone to use the image "Easter Lilies" by Paper Cupcakes and to make a card to showcase this beautiful image however you like. I had to put mine on a piece of blue paper so it would get all of the card. I didn't want a lot of extras since it was a sympathy card and I got exactly what I set out to do. Much better looking card than last weeks. Have no idea where my brain was last week, but it has caught up with me this week. I used my nestabilities behind the lilies and with the sentiment - edging with my inks. Colored the lilies a very pale pink and adding the edging to the right with a Hot Off The Press Border. Again usig my scissors for the edge of the card. Love those scissors! You can find this here.

O.K., I just had to make a new card. I did not like the one below this, so it was back to the drawing board. Still had to keep my little frog.
Kim's challenge this week is to use any Paper Cupcake image, a 4 by 4 size card base, 1 ribbon, 1 single type embellishment, 1 stamped/printed sentiment and NO patterned papers. I put bunka around the little frog and used my fancy scissors again. For some reason I pinked the edges which is not showing up. You can find this here.

Magical Monday Chenille Cat and Chicks
Selma would like for this weeks challenge to use any acquired Paper Cupcake image to celebrate Spring with cards to have a 3-D flowers and leaves; they can be Prima, die cut, hand cut, silk, etc. I found 3 that I couln't make up my mind so I made all three. Chenille Cat & Chicks - Elvis in boots - Mouse Friends - Splash. Everything on the cards I had on hand. On the Chenille Cat I went to my Miniature stash and I use Bunka around the circle which I think turned out pretty good. I would have loved to used the cuttle bug but it meant moving a lot of things and since I already had a big mess everywhere, I did not want to add to it. Combining one workroom with two hobbies can be quite intertaining to say the least. You cna find this here.

"Magical Monday" Eggs-traordinary Find
For this weeks challenge, Sue wants us to use the image "Eggs-traordinary Find" and incorporate it with a paper or altered Easter Basket. This is a card that I made for one of my granddaughters, so I know I am not eligiable for this weeks contest unless I make a basket. Need to learn how to make one with one of the sites Nina gave us on her blog. Also how to take a picture and put it on the computer. I am learning so many new things, I am wondering how my little pea brain can remember so many things! You can find this here.

"Magical Monday"
This weeks challenge by Kim is to use "Bunny Cupcake" image and make any "non-traditional" style card (e.g., free standing pop up, joy fold, tri-shutter, etc). The front of the card has a little more on it than planned. Went to Ninas where I made the inside of the card and I finished up at home. When I put Easter Greetings on it, I failed to notice that the three bunnies were upside down. Had to put polka dot paper over to cover up mistake. Then, I proceeded to stamp the greeting upside down. Had to correct that. I think it is a little bit busy, but the inside turned out nice. Anyway.....Happy Easter. You can find this here.

I think it's just beautiful, and I'm not just saying that because she is my daughter. She knows I love lavender and that is the color of my card, again. I used colored pencil for the egg (it did not turn out as good as I wanted) and Bic Mark-Its for the rest. I used my cuddlebug and my fancy scissors. You can find this here.

Magical Monday I Heart You
This weeks contest was to put the bear on a gift tag and use stitching with thread or hand drawn. I used my cuttlebug on the green and red & white background. Used colored pencils for my bear and hand drew the stitches. I cut the top and bottom of the heart and put lace in the slits. I know it looks alot like Christmas using the green and red (didn't really think of that when I was making it). But like the saying goes "You should always keep Christmas in your heart".
