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.

Magical Monday "Who's Candy"



Pat Pedder had challenged us to make a Christmas card, using glitter and ribbon over at TMITA. I have used snow glitter for the snow and used gelly roll pens for the candy, which does not show up all that well. Have used a metallic ribbon down the left hand side. Used my Bic-markers to color. You can find this here.

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.

It can be of ribbon, flowers, wood or whatever you feel will make the image pop. I liked these paper frames I found and I am sorry I can not remember whose sites I took them from. They came in black, but I went with color. 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.

Magical Monday Bushel of Blessing



This weeks challenge at TMITA was from Melanie who came up with a great sketch for us to follow plus using any acquired Paper Cupcake image. This image I think was suppose to be for Thanksgiving, but I thought it also made a cute Halloween card. I used my Cuttlebug spiderweb for the background and then went over it with a white pencil to make it stand out more. You can find this here.

Magical Monday Yarah and Blow



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.

This weeks challenge is brought by Jessie who wants us to use any type of punch on the project also using the PCC image, Joyful Ride. Such a cute image! 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. Colored my picture with Crayola colored pencils. I am sorry that I don't remember where I got the sentiment, but I do like it. Want to thank Carol for the chance of winning on her site. First win I ever had on the hop. Also to Nina because I believe it was two weeks ago that I won on TMITA. Have had so much fun! You can find it here.

Magical Monday Just Ducky



This weeks challenge was from Dru Cabral. She wants us to use the image from Paper Cupcake and would like to see some sewing incorporated on the card. It can be zig zag, straight stitch or hand sewing somewhere. I think this image is so cute! I hand stitched around the image and also on the sentiment with embroidery thread, plus I threw in a couple of dragonflies I made from a punch. I put glitter on the purple dragonfly which doesn't show up that great. You can find this here.

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 .
