my final samples, i used one of my sizzix dies to cut these shapes.  i thought they turned out cute but the small ones with just writing on are to small to read well.  also the one framed picture is of my new grand daughter and i think i would want to do pictures bigger.  once again the pictures are from internet search, graphics fairy and personal photographs.

CDAC Anything Goes

my second set of ornament designs. i also did some angel clip art, i thought that these would be good for people who want to put a little something in a card for a sick person or child or someone that you want to remind them that they are not alone.  i think that these could be sold very reasonable as well.  the clip art is from the graphics fairy and internet search.

CDAC anything goes challenge

i am trying something new i love vintage, so i have been researching on making vintage ornaments.  here are some of the samples i created.  i would love to have your views, also what other embellishments would you suggest to use.  i have really enjoyed doing this.  watch for 2 more sets of ornaments.  i got the vintage image from internet search and the graphics fairy.

Simply Betty Stamps Challenge

This is the first challenge i've done for this group.  the colors to be used were orange, white, yellow and black. i implemented these colors into the digi stamps.  the orange flower is one of my learning attempts at vellum or parchment crafting.  the cute fairy is from simply betty stamps.  i used just basic colored pencils to color the digi stamps.  thanks to miss betty for the lovely fairy and thank you all for taking a look at my creation.

CDAC Inspiration Challenge

Inspiration Challenge where we take suggested colors to create a  special card.  i was so glad to read that you don't have to use all the colors in one card.  my base card stock is a bluish gray. i then choose the lite blue color from the challenge and added the peacock style paper to implement some of the other colors.  this sweet vintage child i think is from TLC, although i have gone through her file of the things i have downloaded and couldn't find it.  i couldn't find it anywhere.  I really thought that she went so well with this wonderful saying from Mother Teresa.  i think it is a good message to try and do.  i colored the girls clothes in pink and burgundy  while the rose is red and pink.  i wanted it to be noticed in the sea of blues.

Seasonal Fun Challenge Card

Spring has been enjoying it hiatus, i have not.  i keep thinking of the song that Franklin and his friends sing while looking for Spring in the movie Green Knight.  "Wake Up, Spring Where are you?"
so that is how i put together my card. the little signs of  Spring the cute flowers, bird and rain.  as well as our lovely snow and snowflakes. the mailbox and trees are from "Dearie Dolls"  i cropped them out of the picture they were part of .  The hills i cropped out of a digi picture from "Beyond the Fringe"  the flowers and sky scene are unknown as to who's wonderful talent they are from.  i printed the words myself, using the phrase from Franklins, The Green Knight.

Here in North Dakota today we still have snow on the ground, a considerable amount and we are having spring rain.  where is the global warming i keep hearing about???

CDAC Progressive Challenge Card #2

My second card for this challenge.  the lovely rainbow is provided by "Back To Paper".  i used colored pencils to color the rainbow and for the clouds i colored them a light blue and then topped it off with white glitter glue.  the saying is also from "Back To Paper".  the adorable little girl is from  "TLC Creations".   i tried a new design for a card, i cut out the bracket area of the blue cardstock and lined it with sky looking paper.  i did it by free hand so it is a little crooked.

CDAC challenges are back

the second quarter CDAC challenges are back.  i have 3 cards finished.  the first is for progressive challenge.

the little girl is from whoopsie daisy, i used colored pencils to color her.  the umbrella is from nana vic digitals, i also used colored pencils to color it.  i don't know where i got the sun from.  i went through all my files for clip art and i can not find where i got this saying from.  i used paper that looked like the sky and put it all on card stock.

CDAC anything goes

i made a few things recently and i decided to add them to the anything goes challenge.

my aunts 80th birthday is Sunday so i made this lacy angel with her initial on it.

this is the card i did for her.

 these 2 cards are sympathy cards i made for two friends they both lost their fathers within a week.

this card is for my sister's birthday which is in march also.

CDAC 123

this also was a fun challenge to do, just had 3 simple things to be included in the card.  here is my creation

i wanted to do something different for my cousins birthday that is coming up in march, i started out want to make a corset card but didn't quite figure out where to attach it (i have since figured it out) so i went this route.  i looked on the internet to find a corset pattern, finally found one enlarged it a little bit printed it and used that as my pattern.  i used purple stripped paper then for 1 of my blings i covered it with a sparkly organza and stitched up the sides with metallic thread.  the two button are from my mom's stash, i always loved these buttons.  added the ribbon belt, some floral paper and some flowers. the card is now complete my next challenge is making an envelope and getting it mailed in time.

CDAC Inspiration challenge

i had this card done for a little while and kept forgetting to post it. For the inspiration challenge they gave us colors to work with.  it took me some time to figure out how to do this.  i started with one card and as i was making it forgot and used different colors, then i made sure i had the colors very close to me when i  started another card.

i tried to come as close to the colors as i could.  the cute  girl is from the digi garden.  i just had found this place and a few weeks later the talented gal passed away.  so i really wanted to use one of her cute digi's as a remembrance of  Jacqui "the digi garden".
