Joan's Garden Tag Challenge

Hello & Happy Saturday to you all!!
( Just a quick note my tag won ! Thank you to all who voted !)

I hope your enjoying your weekend. It's still cold here in NE Ohio,

 but atleast no new snow today, so far that is LOL.

 Ya never know here what it's going to do.

So now on to my project for today. I did a tag for

Joan's Garden .

It was very hard to photograph, the rhinestone and gold

embossing as well as the metallic gold CS gave a glare

that was so hard to get rid of! Grrrrr took so many

tries I almost gave up  KWIM.

So believe me it really does look better in real life.

 Isn't that what we all say LOL!!

BUT it does LOL LOL

Now on to what I used. The stamps are

 Penny Black & Hero Arts. The ribbon and

 rhinestone are from my stash. The flowers and leaves

 are from Michaels of course LOL. CS is SU as is the

 gold EP. I used another MS punch and my

nestabilities label four.

Well I hope you like it. So now go over to Joan's and

check out all the cool tags everyone is making!!

I have a card all ready to actually mount this tag

 to, but that will be in another posting at a later date.

Blessings to all of you and thank you so much

 for stopping by. Please feel free to leave a comment

 love hearing from you.

Joan's Garden Challenge # 3

Hello my blogging friends!

Today I want to share with you my entry for

Joan's Gardens Challenge # 3

Here are the requirements:

         1. Make a box...any kind of box will work....

                                                        even an alter box
 
                                                    2. a flourish

                                                    3. a butterfly

                                                    4. Make a flower (alright...if you can't
                                
                                                        make one use one you have purchased)

 

As you can see besides the box, I made a bound

 note pad with 8 pages of scripture verses in it

 for a dear friend who is going through a

really roughtime right now. I hope these help her.

 

As you can see I used my oval nestabilities,

Tim Holtz die, and distress inks. The DP is from K&C.

The fabulous image is a Sugar Nellie digi.

Oh my gosh I am in love with these new images!!

I also used two MS punches. The stamps that were used

 are from, River City Rubber Works, ODBD, & SU.

The drawer pull is from Hobby Lobby. The flower
was from my stash and I used Distress ink reinker
to age it.

 

 Well that is my creation for today,

I hope you all get inspiration from it.

 

Remember to make someones day a little

 better in some way.

 

Thanks for stopping and come back again.

Hugs and Blessings to you all.

Joan's Garden Challenge # 2

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope your enjoying this weather today, its

cool here in NE Ohio but we have sunshine which

 is sooo nice !!!

Well today I want to share with you a card I

did for Joan's Garden Challenge. It was fun ,you should go

 her store, besides her fun card challenges!! She also has a tag

challenge, which you can vote on the one you like best, so go

see what everyone is creating and have fun!!

Oh yes and vote for your favorite!

Now on to my fun card. As you know I love

 Vintage stuff so here is my entry for today.

   I used an image from online that was free, sorry

I can not remember where though. Isn't she simpy

 adorable. Reminds me so much of some of the

 Valentines I got as a kid waaaaaay back when LOL !

I used a sizzix die for the word. Then I added stickles

 for a little glitz on the word as I did for the heart

 she was holding. I punched out a heart with my MS punch

and added another free image on top of that.

SU ribbon ,CS and DP were also used.

The rhinestone heart is from my friend Janis.

Thanks girlfriend! 

Now that you have seen my Vintage Valentine go

 check out what the others have done and get inspired!!

Joan's Garden Tag Challenge #2

Hello Everyone!

Well it's challenge time again! This time its a tag challenge

 at Joan's Garden,

 but I went ahead and added it to a card for Christmas

 next year. Trying to get a head start LOL.

I love this Graphic's 45 paper !! I used SU CS for the base,

The tag is a Tim Holtz tag that I ran  through his brick

 embossing folder, then I used distress inks. My favorite

 MS punch fit with this just right I thought. I added

spica pen to the branches, which is hard to see in the photo

but IRL looks really cool. The trim is from my friend Kris

"Thank You, Kris". I also used wired ribbon from my

stash, as well an old button I had. I outlined

 all of it with my Gold Pilot marker. The stamp from Endless

Creations was stamped in Versamark then I used

 detailed gold EP.

Well I hope you like my tag/card.

Now if I can just get all the rest of my Christmas

cards done that I need for next year I would really

 be ahead ! Doubt that will happen LOL But

one could hope LOL!!!

I pray your all staying warm and healthy.

I am still fighting the last of a bad sinus & upper

 respiratory problem. Even my dog has been sick

with something like it too, which required

 a trip to the Vet! He seems to be getting better.

Praise God!!! He is my best friend for sure!

Hugs to all

Joan's Garden Challenge # 1 for 2011

Hello blogging friends!!!

Today I wanted to share with you my first

 Joans' Challenge card for 2011

The stamp I used, is from Loralie Designs isn't she a cutie!

I paper pieced her, which is out of my comfort zone for sure.

And was that time consuming but worth it IMO.

The paper is from October Afternoon, "Thift Shop".

CS & DP is all Stampin Up, MS punch, & pearls

 are from Michaels. For the die I used my

 new Grand Nesties, awesome product.

The ticket is from Tim Holtz, Adage Tickets set.

I colored it all with my copic markers.

It fits all the requirements which are as follows:

1. Use some kind of animal, bird or whatever
2. Use a floral background paper
 3. Do something that takes you out of your comfort zone
4. Use some kind of Die

Well that is it for today, I hope you go

to Joan's and check it out !!
