Card using my....Java Queen Digi!

Here she is the little coffee/tea queenie...lol I love her to pieces! A girl after my own heart! I love both Tea and coffee! Naturally I had to create a girl enjoying a cuppa! lol

I had a blast coloring her up with my Spectrum Noir markers! I am slowly getting back into my paper crafts I am still working up crochet though I am addicted...lol

I kept her simple to display the pretty image! Hope you like it!

I used a 4 by 5 1/2 card base and DCWV Spring fling paper stack

I made a banner out of a paper sentiment from my stash, a tag from my stash which I adhered behind her and one of my small simple handmade crochet flowers with a blue bling flower center!

Card using my Digi...Summer Pail

I finally got around to making a few projects...with paper that is! Ohh, how I missed it! Don't get me wrong I love to crochet and I am working on a few projects as we speak! But I needed to take a break and create a card with this cutie!

I love how she turned out! I wanted to keep it simple and on the flatter side...I want to be able to mail it out with just a stamp if possible. I have more requests for cards to be able to go through the mail with  little postage than over the top decorated cards. (I do like to make those as well...sometimes I find it hard to do though)

What I used

DCWV paper stack Spring Fling

my handmade simple crochet flower with a purple bling flower center

cardstock embellie "Dream come true"

I colored her with my spectrum noir markers

Skin tone-   FS2, FS3, and FS6 cheeks

Hair-       CT2, GB8, GB9

Eyes-     LG2 and whie gel pen

Lips-  PP3

Dress and Bows-     PP3, PP4, PP5

Pail-     IG1, IG3

I had a great time coloring her and making this card! Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to vote on the bottom left of the blog! Only takes a second and its free for you and helps me! Thanks!

First Halloween project for the year!

I Love Halloween! It is my favorite holiday and time of year! All the smells, the fall foliage it is all so breathtakingly beautiful! Love, love ,love this season...I do not care for the super cold nights and winter getting closer though! lol

Ever since I was a child I loved and looked forward to Halloween! The idea of dressing up was the draw I believe...Don't get me wrong the candy was awesome too! All the parties and trick or treating...those were the days...

I remember going out with my friends, walking around the neighborhood til late at night about 10 pm. We would walk the whole neighbood and we had such a good time. Every year there was a party at our church and they had games and food and costume contests...It was good times...

It is a shame that our kids miss out...That is why I have a huge party for them every year, even though some of them are adults now they look forward to the fun and games. This year we are doing Medieval Time Period (theme) I am so excited, lots of fun we will have!

Decorations, invitations, food, games, campfire and campout...yes you heard me right we have a over night party and serve breakfast the following day and then every one parts ways. (Sat dinner- Sun Breakfast) it does get cold so some do venture inside to sleep but some weather the cold in tents with loads of blankets by the fire...(we keep going to the wee hours)

Our party has become tradition, we have been doing it so long...no one wants it to stop, so we keep on each year with a new theme!

Here are the invitations for this years event!

This is my nephews invite all of them are the same! A treasure chest from the Royal Court (thats me lol) Each one has a name label on the front for the recipient. 

I used memento inks to stamp the images. The stamps are from the girls paperie, inkadinkadoo, and TPC, the cardstock I used is from Darice the chocolate lovers stack (8 1/2 by 11).

inside I put a few goodies as well as some party info! you know the basics just details of where, when, and what not! 

The campfire card in yellow and orange I used stickles on, it has the info for itinerary by the fire and over night camping. 

The card with the gold embossed trophy contains info on the Medieval games that will be taking place.

The rolled scroll has all the basic party info and is tied with twine, the message was written on adding machine tape, love it, looks just like old parchment!

I also included a lollipop and butterscotch candies (royal gold lol) I added a trick or treat circle popdotted embellishment with a spider in center to one of the butterscotch candies.

I made these assembly line style, like many of my projects for family...there are a lot of us! I got them all done and so everyone has time to get their costumes ready I will be handing/mailing  these babies out today! Some make their own costumes so with every ones busy schedules I have to sent them out this early so everyone has a chance to get them done!

On to the next project! lol  

Remember to vote...bottom left of blog! I appreciate it! 

Havve a great day!
