I Won A Challenge!

I am just so excited! This is the very first challenge I have ever won and what a heady experience! I posted earlier a card I created for Softpencil's Challenge #9. I must say, that Elizabeth Pujalka's digital designs are so darn cute and unique that they just lend themselves to creativeness. This has really made my day and I can't wait to get back to my craft room! Thank you Elizabeth for the award and the awesome talent you share through your digis.

Thanks for visiting!

What A Long Weekend!

Sorry I haven't posted recently. I left last Thursday morning for Falls Church, Va and only arrived back home on Monday evening. My oldest granddaughter, Olivia (nine), was in a concert Sunday evening with the Fairfax Choral Society. The performance was outstanding. There were two youth choirs and one adult choir.

The rest of the time I hung out with my daughter and the other three grandchildren ranging in age from seven to sixteen months. We went to the National Zoo on Friday and had a great afternoon. I was specifically asked to bring my card making "stuff". So although I did not have an opportunity to create any cards, I did want to share photos of the cards my grandchildren created:

The first was created by Caleb, age 7. This is Lily Snowflake Fairy by Pink Cat Digital Studios:

The second was created by Sophia, age 3. This is Christmas Holly Fairy by Mo Manning:

The third was created by Olivia, age 9. This is Gingerbread Cookie by Digital Images:

And, I could not resist showing you a photo of the grandkids taken at the zoo:

Thanks for visiting!

Softpencil Challenge

"We Made A Snowman" is just the cutest image from Softpencil Digital Stamps . This is my entry for challenge #9. Elizabeth Pujalka is the owner and designer and you can also find her group on Papercraft Planet.

My design paper is from Basic Grey's "Eskimo Kisses" and Heidi Grace's "Frost Blvd. Snow Veil". The poinsettia is from Prima and ribbon from Bazzill Basics. The snowflakes were punched with a Marvy punch and I used dewdrops for accents. I used Copic's to color my image, Flowersoft polar white for my snow and stickles to accentuate my snowflakes.
