Liebster Blog Award

I want to thank Bettina who has passed the award to me. Thanks so much for thinking of itty bitty me:0) Such a pleasant surprise. Now read on to see what this award is about.....I am loving this idea!

the Liebster Blog Award

"Liebster" in German means "dearest". The idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readership.

 

Here are my 5 inspiring blogs in no order!

 

Maria B.:  http://mariabecskehandmadecards.blogspot.com/ 

Theo:  http://theo-cards.blogspot.com/ (Maria's son)

Sara: http://sarhamslittlecorner.blogspot.com/

Jane: http://jane-thecupboardunderthestairs.blogspot.com

Last; I am not sure if I can do this but...Right back at you Bettina!

 Bettina L.: http://bettandshobbykrok.blogspot.com

 

To accept the award, you must:

1) Link back to the person who gave it and thank them for thinking of you.

2) Post the award to your blog.

3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.

4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know.

 

Thanks Y'all and hope you have an AMAZING weekend!

Emboss It! Christmas Tag

 It is Team A's turn to play at Kenny K Krafty Girlz this week and we would love to see you Emboss It!

This weeks winner will get:
5 Digi's from Kenny K's Downloads and Marianne Design is giving away a lot of goddies:0) so be sure to play along. Like they say you got to be in it to win it!


So here is my creation: I have started working on my Christmas tags; whatcha think? If you look closely you can see that I have wet embossed some snowflakes onto the stripped DP. I have also dry embossed the panel with the trees. You can't really make out that they are trees but you can see that it is pine needles. SO cute! I have added a mixture of Distress Inks pine needles and Shabby Shutters. I really like how it came out.

Here is a closeup of X-mas Hottie; OH I LOVE HER! 

 

I have colored her with Copics and have tried very hard to leave some white to achieve the high gloss shine in her hair. Hair-E59,57,33 Skin-E11,00,000, R20 Reds-R59,29,05 Greens-G99,46,43

Hope you like my creation and have time to visit the KKKG Challenge blog to look at the gorjous projects my teamates have created. Hope you can play along with us this week!


Hugs!

Crafters Companion Flowers for YOU!

Hello Everyone; today is a rainy day here in Bakersfield California and it is just perfect for watching a movie and drinking a cup of coffee while cozy in your pj's. Oh how I dream....hehehe yeah so I am working a bit, doing my online traffic school for a ticket I got late last year and now have decided to take a break and post about my creation. Something to truly bring my spirits up on this gloomy day.

So I have made these two sour cream pouches filled with chocolates for my son's Teacher and TA as a Valentine gift. This project was made especially for the Crafter's Companion USA Challenge blog where I am guest designer for this month. This project fits perfectly into the Something Sweet monthly challenge. I think I will be doing a tutorial on the mini rolled flowers unless I get a brilliant idea before the end of the month.

I have kept them basically the same with a few very minor differences. I have a ton of pictures to try and capture different angles of these little guys.

 

Here is a closer look at Humphrey from the Flowers for You stamp set from Crafter's Companion. I think he is just darling and I have such a blast coloring him up I know I will be using him again. He is just perfect for so many occasions. So stinking cute!!!

Colored with Copics: Humphrey- T4,2,0 Clothes-E81,YR30, BG57,53, YG95, 23 Bow-RV69,19,14 Flowers- RV19, R43,30 Greens- YG97,95,23.
