21st Century Pillow Book

Hello! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge . For this theme, we are sponsored by the fantastic Vera Lane . I love these images because they are fun and quirky. The challenge is "Make your Own Sunshine." I used images from the Aloha set . The set comes with 5 images, but I only used 2 today. I colored the images on Canson Mixed Media Paper and colored them with Zig Clean Color Markers. I recently splurged a bit on myself and bought the 12 new Distress Oxide Inks from Tim Holtz, and my background was created with those. I didn't think the images needed more embellishing, so I kept the ATC simple. I'm hoping to get another couple done for this challenge, so please check back. Meanwhile, give the Wicked Wednesday Blog a visit to see what the rest of the team has created. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Greetings! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge . For the next 2 weeks, the theme is Girly Girl, and we are sponsored by Ppinky Dolls . I used Pigasus (yes, that's how it's spelled) for my ATC. These friends are so sweet. I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Markers. My background was spritzed with some Rose Bud Fireworks! Spray from Imagine . In real life, the background has a lovely shimmer. I added a couple of sequins with some On Point Glue from Imagine for a little dimension and added sparkle. That's it for me today. Please be sure to visit the Wicked Wednesday Blog to see what the rest of the team has come up with. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hello! After a bit of a break, the Wicked Wednesday team is back with new ATC challenges! We will be cutting back to only 2 challenges per month, so that means more time for you to play along.

Greetings! It's time for a new challenge over at Wicked Wednesday . This week, the challenge is "Winter Hats or Accessories," and we are sponsored by Miss Rach . I used the sweet Winter Cardinal for my ATC. Cardinals hold a special place in my heart as they were my dad's favorite. I colored him with my Zig Clean Color Markers. I added some fun paper and a wee bit of glitter on the bottom. I love this cardinal, and Miss Rach has lots of other wonderful digis, and I hope you check out her shop.

Hello! When I was a kid, I wanted to be a scientist. I didn't grow up to become one, but I am definitely still a science geek. That's our theme for this week's Wicked Wednesday ! We are sponsored by Polkadoodles . Here's my ATC. I used the Science Teacher image but I cropped it. The digi is actually is entire body, but I wanted it to be a closer look. I colored the image with my Zig Clean Color Markers and I used a Molotow white pen for the highlights of his glasses. I found a fun scrap of paper that had a tech kind of feel to it, so I used it on the bottom. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Wednesday team to see what science experiments they have concocted for you this week. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hello! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge. This week, we are sponsored by All Dressed Up , and the theme is "Winter."

So I found some starry paper, and added holographic Class A Peel stickers from Stampendous. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Wednesday team over on the blog. Thanks for stopping by.

Greetings! It's not only the 29th day of the 31 Days of Halloween, but it's also my 12th Anniversary with my wonderful husband. Huzzah! Today, I have a new Left of Center challenge to share. The theme is Halloween, and our sponsor is Bloobel Stamps. I made an ATC. She looks pretty content now, doesn't she? Once again, I used my Zig Clean Color Markers to color the image in. Thank goodness for those teeny bristles on the brush....I printed this witch out super tiny so that she'd fit on my 2.5" x 3.5" ATC. My sentiment is part of a bigger Inkadinkado sentiment, and i embossed it with Rose Gold embossing powder from Stampendous. I wish you could see how gorgeous this color is in real life. I also added a little washi tape. Please visit the Left of Center blog to see what the rest of Team B has come up with. And don't forget about the Wicked Bloggers, all listed in my side bar.

Hello! It's not only the 26th day of the 31 Days of Halloween, but it's also Wednesday, so that means I have a new Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge to share with you. This week, we are sponsored by Oddball Art and the theme is Witches, Bats, and Black Cats. Easy as pie, right? Here's my ATC. Look at this silly bat! I'm trying to decide if he was on the receiving end of a prank, or if this is his poor attempt at making a costume. Ether way, I like him! He's colored with my Zig Clean Color Markers, and then I fussy cut it. My background was created with the fabulous Dreams are Made stamp set from Hero Arts and some ink from Imagine (the best is the Gold Shimmer Delicata ink!).

Greetings, and welcome to Day 12 of the 31 Days of Halloween! Since it's Wednesday, there is a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge. This week, we are sponsored by A Day for Daises , and the theme is "Cute or Creepy Halloween." I decided to work with Bat Girl . I love how she has bats in her hair that are really subtle. I colored the image with my Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. I also used some Shimmery Silver Delicata Ink  from Imagine.   It adds just the right amount of glam to this already beautiful image.  I also added some cool silver mesh and a few black cabochons. Nothing crazy, because I wanted the image to be the only real focus. Please play along with the Wicked Wednesday team this week. Visit the WW Blog to see what the rest of the team has come up with.

Hello again! It's time for Day 5 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Today begins a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge. This week, we are sponsored by Creepy Cute images, and the theme is Anything Goes. This image is called The Awakening . I cropped it down a bit. I colored her with my Zig Clean Color markers and a lot of water. I created the background with Bahama Blue Fireworks! spray from Imagine , so it's nice and shimmery. I added some Tuxedo Black Memento ink around the edges, and wrote out the "Boo" with Tuxedo Black irRESISTable Pico embellisher, both from Imagine. Her eyes have Wedding Dress irRESISTables on them for a bit of sheen and dimension. I really wanted her to look like a specter.

Hello! Welcome to Day 3 of the 31 Days of Halloween. I've got a nasty cold that just won't quit, so this will be a quickie post for me. I made an ATC today, featuring one of Nikki Burnette 's lovely images. She's called Willow . I colored her with my Zig Clean Color Markers. Again, this is an ATC, so it's only 2 1/2" x 3 1/2," so she's tiny! Those brush markers are great for fine detail. I used a water brush in some spots as well. I used an old sentiment stamp from Cosmo Cricket and some black holographic Class A Peel stickers from Stampendous . That's it for me today.

Greetings! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge. This week, we are sponsored by Lemon Shortbread and the challenge is to "Add a Die Cut." I used Mushroom Fary Pixie for my ATC and I colored her with my Zig Clean Color Markers. Then I had an oops. I was spraying another project with Dylusions sprays, and my overspray went on my image! So, I had to make do, so I added more color using the leftover that was on my craft sheet. I just flipped the ATC over and pressed it into the wet spray. Not what I originally wanted, but it worked out ok. Then I added a few gems and a teeny die cut tag. Please be sure to visit the rest of the Wicked Wednesday team over on the Blog . Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Hello! It's been a while since I played along with Left of Center , but it was time for me to jump back in with the team. The latest challenge is 4 Legged Creatures, and we are sponsored by Nikki Burnette , who I love. I chose to work with Riley and her adorable cat, and I used the image on an ATC, so the finished piece is only 2 1/2" x 3 1/2." I colored it with my Zig Clean Color Markers, and i chalked the background. Around the edge of the ATC, I inked Brown Shimmer Delicata ink which is just perfect for all things steampunk. I love the entire Delicata line from Imagine . Please be sure to visit the rest of the LOC B Team over on the blog. Thanks to Nikki Burnette for sponsoring us! Thank you for stopping by.

Hello! It's time for a new challenge with Wicked Wednesday . This week, we are sponsored by Lacy Sunshine , and the theme is "Summer Camp." I used Roasted Marshmallows for my ATC. I colored her with my Tombow Dual Brush markers. I used some scraps that I had on my craft desk for her background. The bottom portion was inked by me for a different project, and the upper part was printed. I inked the edges to tie all the colors together. The 2 sentiments are both from Sweet Stamp Shop .
