Finished

Awhile back I colored an image by Simply Betty from the Steampunk collection called Clocks, I wanted to do something different than a card with it so I colored 3 more from the Steampunk collection and put them in a frame. I was so pleased with how they turned out ( yes, I am patting myself on the back) a frame seemed appropriate. They were colored with Prismacolored pencils and Gamsol .
 I hope you enjoy looking them over, let me know what you think.





 MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
 They are not the best photos ,but you get the idea. I'll try in the morning for better shots.


OOPS, i seem to have totally missed,,,,,,

my DT responsibility this week, better late than never I guess. This
week at Dutch Dare is a Photo Inspiration Challenge ( gorgeous colors) . Stop on by and show us what you can make out of this inspiration,  a wedding card ? a snow card? a winter card? the possibilities are endless. I turned my mistake of forgetfullness into a belated birthday card.




I used the adorable image from Sassy Cheryl ,I think she expresses how I felt when I realized that I had forgotten to do the DT assignment. This weeks' challenge is being sponsored by Kelly ( our extremely tolerant leader , hint hint) Click on her name above to see how she is sponsoring the challenge.

Jammies and Christmas

There's nothing better than  as a child ,waking up in toasty warm Jammies on Christmas morning and running down the stairs to the tree  to see all the wonderful presents. Even better ,, staying in those jammies ALL day. In honor of that memory I chose Stockings from the wonderful Krista at Saturated Canary Stamps. She not only looks adorable ( look at that face) but toasty warm in her Jammies.
The Challenge that I used  this little cutie  for is  FAVORITE THINGS over at
                                              Dutch Dare Card Challenges.
This should be an easy one , since you just have to use your favorite things.
I am entering this card in the following,
1.ABC Christmas

2.Addicted to stamps. Flowers




My favorite things to use are floral punches, die cuts and punches ,glamour dust and sparkle fluff

jammies: BG10, 11, 32, 34, 49
                RV02, 06
                R24, 27, 29

With that said , I have been working on this digi for quite awhile and until last night just couldn't figure out how to color all of it. After finishing it, I was so pleased with it I have decided NOT to put it onto a card but to make it into something I can display,,, and that is for another post. :)
Let me know what you think.
