Papercraft Star Challenge #104

Hey ya'll!

How is everyone doing on this wonderful Wednesday?  I've decided a trip to the pool is definitely in order, after work.  It's refreshing to know that I have the opportunity to do that after a long, stressful, hot day.

Anyway, I have my next Papercraft Star project to share with you today.  The challenge this week is something I consider a top three favorite: Ice Cream!  For all of the details, click HERE.

And who doesn't love chocolate ice cream, right??  I kept this card simple as well, because I wanted to showcase the adorable ice cream digi I used.  Isn't he cute?!  I used the below colors, loosly, from Design Seeds.  I can't get enough of her gorgeous color combos.  I'm definitely hooked.  I know just who's going to get this card.  I hope she likes it. :)

Please head over to see what the other amazingly talented women on the team have created for you today.  They're gorgeous, as usual!  Or, you can click on their names below to be taken to their blogs.

2012 Christmas Card Challenge Week #33

Hi ya'll!

I'm back from my much needed vacation, and I'm feeling totally refreshed.  I wish I had another week to just stay home and be a bum, but alas, work is waiting for me to return tomorrow.  *sigh*  On a happier note, I'm super content that I got to spend a whole week with the people I love the most.  I'll post a few pics soon, if I remember. :)

I'm happy to say that I was able to get another Christmas card done.  This weeks challenge over at the CCC is to incorporate the emboss resist technique in your card.  For all of the details, click HERE.

I've gone back to taking my photos outside.  Although my light box was functional, I am MUCH happier with my outdoor photos.  For this card, I did something out of the norm for me, I distressed.  I've used my distress inks before, but I seldom distress my edges, or have anything that looks like it has been distressed.  I like the added texture, but I'm not sure I'll do this too often.  I'm a clean lines kinda girl, so everything has to be that way. lol  I'm loving these colors together, and I like how my card turned out.  I'm happy to have another card done as well.  I'm entering my card into the following challenges as well.

Card Caravan #22 - Christmas in July
Totally Gorjuss #140 - It's Christmas
Card Crafter's Circle #31 - Christmas in July
Jellypark Challenge - Christmas in July
Winter Wonderland - Sentiment as focal point.

I do hope you'll head over to see what the other elves have created for you today.  They're all pretty fantastic. 

I'll be back soon with another something crafty for ya!
Hugs!

Finally!!

Hi folks!

I'm excited you've stopped by today.  I can finally share some exciting news that has been kept under wraps for a while.  A couple months ago I received an email from Jan, the DT administrator at Papercraft Star, asking if I would be interested in joining her design team.  At first, I thought he had emailed the wrong person.  I mean, with designers like Jinny Newlin and Sylvia Nelson on her team, I surely thought she was mistaken.  After my reply to her that she had emailed the wrong person, she explained that I was incorrect, and that in fact she was inviting me onto the design team.  Wow!  I was completely blown away.  After contemplating it for, oh two seconds, I jumped at the chance.  I'm SO excited to be working with such an amazing group of ladies.  I do hope you'll try to join us as often as you can. :)

Anyway, now that I've babbled enough, I am excited to bring you my first project as one of the new designers for Papercraft Star.  The challenge this week is to include a sun in your project.  For all of the details, click HERE.

I've wanted to try this technique that has become super popular around blogland, and am not sure I totally pulled it off, but love how my card turned out.  The sentiment matches my mood these days, and I am truly content with how things have taken a turn for the better recently.  I thought using the cloud as the sentiment panel was kinda cool too.  This really did turn out like I had hoped.

I do hope you'll head over to the Papercraft Star blog to see what other wonderful projects are posted.  You can also visit my fellow designers by clicking on their names below.
