Birthday Cards for My Babies!

I wanted to share the Birthday Cards that I made for my kids last week. I think they came out adorable! And I know that Phoenix and Rhiannon  love them. Here’s Rhiannon’s.

Rhi's-Card-1

Back in October, I had one a digi challenge over at Haunted Design House, and I won digis of my choice from Delicious Doodles. Boy, what awesome images they have!!! It was tough to choose, but this one was a no brainer. I LOVE dragons, and I thought that this Momma and Baby (or Daddy and baby) was perfect! I knew I was going to use it for Rhiannon.

I colored the image in with my watercolor markers and a hint of colored pencils. I wanted the skin to have texture, so I colored it over and over in long lines. I think it looks cool! And she really liked the baby in the egg. She thought it was funny!

Nix's-Card-1

I had gotten this stamp a while ago in a swap box with the S&S girls, and as soon as I saw it, I knew Phoenix would love it! How sweet is this robot? He’s colored with my watercolor markers as well. I wrote “Nix” on the robot’s chest. Know what Phoenix’s favorite part about this card is? The rhinestones!

I kept both cards pretty simple, which I think is best for kids. They really love them, so that makes me happy. Have an inspiring day!!!

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
