What's the story morning glory? MUSIC!

I just finished my card for the challenge at TLC. The challenge was to use the bird image along with the word art provided by Paulette at TLC. You will find a link for TLC on my sidebar.

After messing around I decided to print the sentiment on the card stock. I put it through the music Cuttlebug folder after I had it postioned just right. I used white core paper so I could distress the music notes. I went over the words morning glory with a black Spica glitter pen. The bird I colored with Copics and then cut out. Got my lace on a little crooked, as usual. lol That red line tape is unforgiving. Now that I see the card nice and enlarged I see I forgot to color the birds eye.

Have a sweet Halloween

I need to put this on the card and it will be finished. The image was from Deb on Cuppas and Cards. She sent it to me last year. I colored with Copics and finished off the tops of the cakes with Diamond Glaze. The orange trim was gifted to me by my friend Debby in Israel. Thank you Debby. I have another image colored the same but haven't made it into a card yet. This was the last of the cute Halloween brads by Recollections at Michaels. They are on sale so I should go today and buy some more.

There is a challenge on TLC that I want to work on today. I haven't even started and it ends at 9:00p.m.

More Halloween cards

I am about done working with Halloween cards. Getting tired of them. I have done a dozen. I will need to do some simple ones for the little grandkids in a couple of weeks. I think they are more thrilled with the $5 I put in the cards than the cards themselves. lol

Cat Girl and Batty are both digital images from Tiddly Inks.

The lady in red with a halo holder is a digital image from Bugaboo. Erica colored all 3 images. That is the last of the images she colored for me. Boo hoo. I like how she added a web to the devil lady's leg. I used Diamond Glaze on her dress and the sentiment. I watered down the glaze and glazed the flames. Now this image is not one I would buy. I got it from Angela. I do have a specific person in mind though to send this card to. Sometimes cute just doesn't get it for me and this was fun to work with.

Gossmere goes Trick or Treating

Guess I need to get this card added. It has been finished for 2 days. I have been spending what seems like endless hours reorganizing my digital images. I am almost done. Me and my thing for organizing getting carried away. They say time spent doing something you enjoy is not wasted time so I keep that in mind. I just bought the Bugaboo Sept. club with 20 images so I need to deal with getting those into Word. Also need to get some more images that Erica colored made into cards. I can see me deleting more stuff from my DVR

More Halloween

I finished this one up this evening. The Boo image is a digital freebie from TLC. It came colored. I printed out and added Diamond Glaze to make it pop. The image is on a cut out (the big orange blob)of a tracing I did from a tag. I used stamp edge scissors to cut it out. The scalloped edge on the top is from my new Recollections punch. Added some Primas, brads and some black mesh. The velum ghost was cut with a Sizzix die, a pretty old one. I like how it turned out. A simple image that worked.

I was busy

I have two Halloween cards today. My daughter and Erica were over yesterday. Erica colored several images with Copics for me while Candy and I worked on Halloween cards.

Erica colored the blue haired goth girl.

Spotlighted at CDAC

Today my Halloween boot #3 was spotlighted on the main page at CDAC. It is a badge but I don't know how to add those to the blog. I need lessons. lol

Yesterday I did learn how to take 2 separate digital images in Word and combine them to make one image. I wish I had known how to do that with the spotlighted card. Instead I used multiple papers until I was able to run them through the printer to combine. I needed the boot printed on the paper so when I cut out the colored image you could still see the curly cues on the outside edges of the boot. I cut them off on the colored one.

Halloween boot #3

Maybe this will be my last boot card. I said maybe! The background scene was a digital freebie but I don't have the name of the source. Erica colored this boot with Copics. It is my favorite boot and I will send it to her for Halloween. I added Swarovski crystals. I also put Diamond Glaze on the green and purple portions of the main boot. I also used the glaze on the stars and moon on the cuff. Erica outlined all the curly cues with matching colors of Spica glitter pens.

My day yesterday was a real pick me up. I finally bit the bullet and shopped for smaller jeans. I have been wearing a belt of Ercil's to hold my current jeans up. Talk about a baggy butt and legs. How about a size 16! They even have tapered legs and I don't mean boot cut. They just look so nice on me. Also came home with 3 new blouses, all by Crazy Cat. They were in an xl. I topped off the shopping with a knee length coat to wear when I walk in the park and my lighter weight jackets fail to keep me warm. Another nice surprise just a bit ago. I was watching TV and I noticed I had my legs crossed. Now you all may take that for granted but it is something obese people can't do. Maybe like a guy crosses his legs we can do but that is about it. I know it has to have been at least 35 years since I could cross my legs nicely. So all in all, a very nice day, except for the fact that I spent a lot of money on those clothes!

Another Halloween boot

Couldn't help myself. Had to do some more boot images. On this one I embossed the witch stamp. I used Diamond Glaze on the dark parts of the boot. Added the purple Swarovski crystals and the beaded ribbon trim is from Joannes. Colored this one with Copics.

Digital image is from Paper Face Designs

A fancy Halloween boot!

I love how this card turned out. The boot image is a digital design from Paper Face Designs. It was a freebie on CDAC. The idea was to put lots of bling on and boy did I ever. I went to Joannes earlier this evening to buy different trims. I want to make a few of these cards using this design.
