Welcome to my Garden

Hello Everyone
Are you ready for Christmas?? No?!? Me either. But I will get there!!

I am shocked at how fast the time has gone 
since my last project for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends
A couple of weeks really flies by, doesn't it??!! 

has 2 sponsors for this challenge
The first sponsor is Emerald Faeries

 Their prize is 2 images

The 2nd sponsor is 
AMB illustrations

Their prize is 2 packs from the store.

There is a funny story that I have to share about this card.

The project was to use the digital image from Emerald Faeries 
AND a digital paper from AMB illustrations. 
Well, as soon as I saw the image I knew exactly what I wanted to have my project look like.

So I made the card and photographed it and was getting my post here done extra early.As I was looking at the pic's it dawned on me that I did not use any digital papers from AMB illustrations. 
So back to the drawing board. LOL
 I made a totally different design, making sure to use a digital paper from AMB illustrations.

Here is my project with my cute faerie and one of the beautiful papers from AMB illustrations


I just love that faerie sitting on that snail. And my vision had him close to a mushroom. 



OK let me share the 1st card I made and this is the one in which didn't a digital paper. 


This one is a dome card and again that cute faerie is in a mushroom forest, 
right where I had envisioned it,

Well, today you get 2 cards for the price of one. LOL.
Hope you like both of these designs.

Two Snowmen

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my blog. 
Today is the start of Crafty Creations Challenge #356
The theme is - Anything Goes
Sponsor - Bugaboo


Image used - Two Snowmen

The snowman image I chose to use is so adorable!!!
I thought he'd look great on a tag. 
So I colored it and cut it out using an oval.

I mounted it on a tag cut from shimmer paper and added some punched snowflakes.
I also added glitter (which didn't show up in this pic)

To add the to/from info, I added a stamped circle to the back of the tag. 
The stamp I've used, I've had forever, and this worked out great on the back of the tag. 



Here's the back of the tag. 
It gives me the capability of adding to/from info 
since I think shimmer paper might be hard to write on.

This stamp is so old and it's from Catslife Press.
but it's still available and its #654F

December, WOW !! We are beginning the last month of this year.

Well lets look at my last inspiration card

Santa has left this adorable kitty his favorite gift ....
a fish.... and Santa made sure to attach a festive bow to dress up the gift.

Since I love cats (I got my first one when I was 3 years of age, and have had a cat in my life ever since) I  happen to have one that is my constant companion. His name is "Buddy" and he is like a dog, he is literally always by my side. He is my Buddy.
He is the most loving cat I have ever had. LOL

So I just had to use this image 'cause he reminds me of Buddy.
