Wags 'n Whiskers - Snowflakes

Happy Friday, friends!!! Today over at Wags 'n Whiskers, the new challenge is to use snowflakes on your project. Pretty appropriate for the season!  So I used snowflakes galore, LOL! I immediately thought of this beautiful fairy, Iris. She actually sits on a mushroom and it putting her hand out to touch a hummingbird. But I knew right away I wanted to sit her on, as well as have her touching, a snowflake. So I colored her with Copic markers, cut her out and propped her up on a snowflake strip from a Martha Stewart punch. The individual snowflake that she's touching is also from Martha Stewart covered in Stickles. The snowflake papers are from Nitwit Collections and the cardstock is Bazzill. That gorgeous May Arts silk ribbon is from Stamp and Create.

Wags 'n Whiskers - Wrap it up!!

Hi everyone! For all of my friends that celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I truly hope you had a wonderful holiday with lots of food, friends, and family! And so the hectic shopping season begins! Did you get up in the wee hours of the morning to attend Black Friday events? Not me! I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole! LOL! I like my sleep way too much. If you braved the weather and the crowds, I hope it was well worth your time and effort, and that you found all the deals you were after. 

It's time for a new challenge from Wags 'n Whiskers, and this weeks challenge is hosted by the sweet, wonderful, and extremely talented Nikki!! She is asking us to "wrap it up". So make either a bag, box, or tag.  I worked with one of my favorite images called "Say a Prayer" in both rubber and dgi form! I miniaturized the digital image so she'd fit perfectly on my tag. I love being able to do this!! They're both colored with Copic markers and cut out. The bag was cut using my Cricut Expression and the tag and scalloped edge were cut with Magnolia Doohickey dies.  Please be sure and visit my Design Diva Sisters to see the fabulous creations they came up with for this challenge, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us for a chance to win your own Wags 'n Whiskers image!

Wags 'n Whiskers - Lavender and Lace challenge

Happy Friday! I'm excited about today as I have all of next week off! YAY! The alarm gets turned OFF! LOL! Plus I've come down with some NASTY chest cold and it's knocked me flat on my butt. I'm wiped! I do NOT want to spend my week of vacation being sick, UGH! Ok, enough about my whining self..... So with it being Friday, that means it's time for a new Wags 'n Whiskers challenge. This weeks challenge is from the wonderful and talented Vicky, and she wants to see lavender and lace.  I kind of cheated and used paper lace made with Martha Stewart punches, but it's still lace, right? Anyway, I used this adorable fairy called Hannah. I just love her! She's colored with Copic markers and then cut out and popped up off the front panel.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, cardstock is Bazzill, and the PP are all from Pink Petticoat, all three are lavender. I'm not a real purple person, so my choice of colors in Purple Copics is VERY limited (that's an understatement!) So she does't match perfectly, but I still think she's cute!  So hop on over to my Sister Divas and take a peek at the bit of gorgeousness they've created for you today, and then join us in the challenge over at the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge Blog for a chance to win!! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

But you should see what some of the fabulous Krafty girls have done with this stamp! I'm telling you, they are amazing!  Anyway, Annie is colored in Copic markers (chalk was used on her cheeks)  and then I added some fun flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts in the corner of the frame that was made with Martha Stewart PAP set.

I really wanted to use some fun, happy colors with this image. The cardstock is Bazzill and the DP is some I've been hoarding since last year from American Crafts.
