A Very Proud Announcement

Did everyone have a great Holiday? I know that I did. Now I am ready for 2011 to get here. It is going to be a fantastic year! And, NO, I am definitely not a Polly Anna. LOL I am just ready to start something new.

I want to take just a few minutes of your time to let you know that I have been invited to join the PriscillaStyles Store Design Team. I am so honored to be a part of this talented team. Please take a few minutes and check out the creativity that each member brings to Priscilla's team.

Hearts Galore and Midnight Madness

My daughter is having surgery tomorrow so I am going to be out of pocket for a couple of days. And that’s why this is so short! LOL

I am entering this in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Below you will see the sketch.

I have chosen the digi stamp Heart Wreath designed by Priscilla of Priscilla Styles. She has got several new images for Valentine’s Day. Stop by and check out her wonderful and creative talent.

Snowflakes are Winter’s Butterflies

Or, this could be title "Gilli the Snowflake Fairy", right? Isn’t she just adorable? I love the new Gilli rubber stamps over at StampingScrapping.com. She is also going to be entered in the Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central blog. Their theme is “Winter Wonderland.” I think it’s appropriate. Everyone up North is getting ready for blizzards and we in Oklahoma are getting ready for temperatures in the teens’. I would not be surprised if some of their snow blows this way. We received our blizzard on Christmas Eve last year. That’s why I would not be surprised! Lol

I have also entered this in three other challenges:
StampsRUs Challenge-Holiday Cards
Creative Card Crew-Anything Goes


For this project the supplies that I used are: (I will say that the majority of my supplies…I purchase from StampingScrapping.com)

Copics:

Pens: Spicas in lavender, black; Gelly Roll in Star Dust; Sharpie Poster Paint, Fine Point, White; Viva Décor Pearl Pen in Lilac.
Designer Paper: Cosmo Cricket.
Cardstock: Cryogen 80#, Linen white 80#, SU Elegant Eggplant.
Embellishments: Stickles in Stardust; Pearls from Prima Marketing.
Spellbinder’s dies: Snowflake Pendent, Fancy Tags.
Sentiment: Computer generated, but I did find the wording in the latest issue of CardMakers magazine.

Thanks for stopping by and if you have any questions don’t hesitate contacting me ajsdesigns@cox.net.

I hope you are having a great weekend!

This is going to be very short. But first, I fibbed…I made another Christmas card. Sorry. Lol

The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring the Paper Playtime challenge #28. The theme is “Snowflakes.” (See, I really had no choice but to create a Christmas card.) Tracey, owner and artist of The Stamping Boutique, is giving away five digi images to one lucky winner. I’ve also combined it with the sketch #82 at Priscilla’s Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Go check out Midnight Madness. They have several sketches posted for the entire month of December.
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #82. You can make it simple, fancy, or a combination of the two.
