TLC Fairy Tale Blog Hop!

Welcome to the  Create with TLC Fairy Tale Blog Hop!  And as a special treat from Paulette, every designer will be including the image they used today as a freebie.  Your next stop on the hop is the sensational Carla's Blog!  Carla is incredibly talented and her coloring is outstanding!  If you get lost along the way, please return to the TLC blog to get started and to see the complete list of designers.  We would also like to welcome our guest designer for today, Jan Wheatley.  Please kick back, grab another cup of coffee or your favorite beverage and enjoy our hop!

My image for today is "Will Be Queen":

and the card I created:

I chose My Mind's Eye design paper and used my Cricut for my embellishments and frame.  The sentiment and "Q" are also from Paulette's collection.  I framed my image with a Sizzix embossing folder and carefully trimmed this before adhering to an embossed panel.  What's with all the purple???  I think a purple people eater got hold of me, LOL!  Actually, when I think of royalty the color purple always comes to mind.  I just went kinda crazy with all my "V" Copics!

Please be sure to grab the "freebies" after each post!  We'd love to see what you create with this!  

Thanks for visiting!   I love reading your comments and appreciate all your support!

Creating with TLC Design Team Blog Hop Tomorrow!

Just a reminder!!! TLC will be hosting their February Fairytale blog hop tomorrow!  All the designers plus one guest designer will have some fabulous creations to show you, be sure to mark your calendars and don't  miss the fun!


Comfort

Do you sometimes have trouble deciding on the perfect sentiment?  I try to keep a good selection on hand for sympathy cards.  I found this fabulous sentiment from Create with TLC and decided to use this for the design on my card front:

I used a minimum of coloring on the image, just some pink and green from my Copics and I embossed the panel with a Cuttlebug folder.  The frame was designed using one of my Cricut carts and the ruffled ribbon is from The Ribbon Retreat.  I love SU cardstock and found this pink in my stash.  This was easy to create and I love the elegance!

Thank You

Sometimes it's hard to find just the right image to go with a special "thank you".  I searched for quite a while before I found this little cutie from Whimsy and Stars digi called "Angel Heart".  The sentiment is from Create with TLC.  My friend was such a blessing when my mom passed away, she literally came in and did whatever that needed to be done.   We had so many relatives and friends that visited to pay their respects and of course in the South there is always so much food that is brought in for the family!  So here is the special card I created for her:

Angel Heart


and these are the Copic markers I used.


My design paper is from my stash and I made my flower and embellishments with my Cricut.
