Snowman and Snowflakes

Still playing with my Serendipity Stamps Snowman! Love it! Here i used Marvy brush markers and SU Markers to color in Frosty. OK, yes let's name him Frosty! :-) I used (my favorite of course) Stickles glitter glue by Ranger. The cool snowflake ribbon is from Walmart and the background snowflake paper I picked up at my local stamp store by Heidi Grace Designs. The sliver outline is using the metallic collection from EK Success. I know it's hard to tell in the picture but I used a pop dot on the back of the snowman to make him stand out a bit.

There you have it, another Frosty!

Serendipity Snowman

I finally had a chance to use my Serendipity stamp "Snowman with Birdhouse". I started witht he scrapped oil pastel technque I picked up from the Technique Junkie Newsletter! That does not show that much because I decided to use other stuff over it :-) The "Tis the Season" sentiment was a freebie from the Serendipity grab bag! I added glitz using the Ranger Stickles glitter glue!

Lizzie Anne Designs Contest

I mailed my submission for the Lizzie Anne Designs contest. This is for a great cause all cards will be given to Cards for Cancer. Hopefully my submission will arrive in time for the contest deadline, otherwise I'm sure the cards will still get donated. Either way it's all good! I used the Funky Floral set! The crinkle silver is actually tissue paper which I thought looke pretty cool. I love the silver and blue!

I also sent in this card I made for the weekly sketch. It's a great contest!

Lizzie anne Designs Sketch Challenge

Weekly on Splitcoast Stampers Lizzie anne Designs offers a sketch challenge. I love the sketch challenges! I used my Funky Floral set for this cool challenge. This is a great floral set, I've always been a fan of the flower sets for some reason. I do think I will have to check out their other sets. I was pretty psyched to see these sets at my local stamp store! I may be back for more. Thanks to Lizzie anne for posting this challenge.

Lauren's Sketch Challenge

Here is what I came up with from Lauren's Sketch Challenge. I know I tweeked it a bit for me, I just wasn't coming up with a good idea for the extra circle up top like in her sketch. However, I think this design came out nice. The stamp is "pottery" by Serendipity Stamps. I do not know who the background stamp is though. I purchased this unmounted very cool stamp a few years ago at a convention. Back then I didn't think about remembering all the company names now I wish I had. If anyone knows pls let me know.

Thursday Throwdown...

Yes I know it's Sunday, not Thursday but I finally had a chance to work on Colleen's challenge. This week it was to use 3 colors: blue, purple and green. Hum..... :-) Here is what I came up with using my Halloween stamp from Studio G.

Exciting News...

I'm so excited! I checked my email yesterday and I had a mail from Starving Artistamps regarding the Design Team. OK, I'll admit I thought I was not going to have a shot, but I was invited to join as a guest designer!! Out of the 200 applicants, I was one of the 20 chosen. As a guest designer I will be called upon on a rotating basis with the other guest designers. Very cool, huh? They have great images to work with so I'm excited! I will definitely be posting my creations!!!
