She's A Sassy Lady Guest Designer

Good Morning Everyone:)

I was very honored to be a guest designer for Sheila at She's a Sassy Lady. Thank you Sheila for having me.
I did have another project in mind but I ordered supplies online and have yet to receive them. 

I created a card using CCR and The Snow Angel Cartridge. To see full details check out Sheila's Blog.


I have linked this card to MojoMonday!

I also created a second card and just made it slightly different than the rest!




Thank you for stopping by my blog:) Hugs.

Christmas Train Frame

Happy Sunday

I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far.

Today I wanted to share with you all a Christmas Train Picture frame:)

This project took me days to complete and I was not as happy with the end results as I had hoped to be.

I used a couple of cricut cartridges to make the project.




I used the cricut craft room to make it:)

The trains are from the B Is For Boy Cricut Cartridge. I did cut the train a bit different by using hide contour to hide some parts that I did not want on the train. And I grouped a square in three places so it would cut out a spot for the pictures.
I used cereal box in the middle and coved both the front and the back with heavy card stock.
I flood filled the train with colors from the Mr. Frosty Imagine Cricut Cartridge.

I cut the track using Cricut Pop Up Neighborhood cartridge and flood filled it with a basic black.
I cut the tracks four times and glued all four pieces together to give the tracks some dimension.

The tree is from The Give A Hoot Cricut Cartridge. Flood filled with basic colors. I also cut several layers of card stock to make the tree sturdy.
The hills in background is from the Give A Hoot Cartridge too:)

I mixed glitter and flock together and applied it on the tree, the hill, the ground, and the tracks to give it a snow like effect.

Added some embellishments and I was done.

Oh I also cut white card stock and bent it slightly on one side. Glued the hill to it and the tracks and stuff so that the frame would stand up on its own.

It was a lot of fun to try something different but I am not 100 percent pleased at how it turned out. But definitely a learning experience and I hope each time I try something different it comes out better each time.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a peek:)

Season's Tweetings! And Challenge winner!



Good Morining:)

I am so proud of myself. I buy all of these stamps and then I only use the sentiments and never the image. Out of the fear of what it would look like if I tried coloring it myself.

I first wanted to play with my SU watercolor pencils that just sit there and go unused. So I watched a few you tube videos on different techniques for watercolor colored pencils. And then went through my stamps and set to work to do it! And I only messed up in one spot and that ironically was the sentiment..lol I put it on crooked..hehe.


Anyways here is my first stamped card using SU Water Colored Pencils.







Recipe:

SU Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen
Clear Dollar Stamps Snow Tweet Stamp Set

I am going to try to force myself to use something other than the cricut a few times a month.
Wish me luck..lol Since the cricut is my comfort zone.



Now onto the winner of my magazine inspired challenge. I used random number to pick.

Entry number 1 .... Abusybee .... Please use the contact me form to discuss how you want your prize:)
Thanks to everyone that played along. I loved all your projects!
