Tag Challenge at Joan's Garden

Here I am again!!!

Gosh today I am getting alot done in my craft room!

Yee haw!!!! Good day to stay in and get crafty.

This is a tag I made to go with the Baby gift I
made andI posted here . I am also entering this tag at
Joan's Garden Tag Challenge go and check out the
wonderful entries and vote for your favorite!

Again I used the Flourishes stamp

set. SU & MS punches. Gelly Roll pen for the

outline of the stars and on the moon and words to

add sparkle to them. The DP is from SU as is the CS.

I used my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol again

to color all the images. This was such a fun project along

with the baby gift. It's been awhile since I have

done any baby projects. I hope you get a chance

to make a baby project too, it makes you

feel so happy inside thinking of those new little

bundles of joy and the miracle of birth!

Ahhh God is so good!!!

Well that's it for tonight. I hope your having a

wonderful evening relaxing. Please stop back again soon!

Hugs

Wall Art Baby Gift

Hello Everyone!

Hope your staying dry, boy is it raining and cool today!

Tomorrow we are expecting lots of snow again, sheesh

when is it gona stop LOL.

Hopefully the project I have to share today will brighten your

day a bit. I just finished a baby gift for my Chiropractor

who is expecting a baby in May. She has been great

in lessening my pain, that I wanted to make

her something special for her new little one.

Hopefully she will enjoy this gift.

Again I am afraid my

pictures do not do it justice at all, yet I have been photographing

it all morning and none came out very good so these

will have to do sorry.

The picture of the moon is recessed in for

more dimension.

All the stars have sparkles outlining them.

The stars are popped out on each cloud

and have candy sticks elevating them in

the Tussie Mussie. It's hard to see but

at the bottom of the Tussie is another

white knob with tulle around it.

I used Flourishes Stamp Set and SU Word Stamps.

I colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.

The sparkles around the stars and on the background

of the moon are a Gelly Roll pen. The punches used are MS & SU.

CS and DP are from SU. The frame is unfinished from Michaels

and I painted it with acrylic white paint and matte varnish. The

knobs and tulle is also from Michael's. Ribbons & buttons

are unknown in my stash. White eyelets are also SU. I used

the Dotted swiss embossing folder to make the clouds in

the Tussie Mussie behind the stars with the words.

I hope you feel inspired by this project.

Please let me know what you think of my

baby wall art gift!

Until next time

Hugs

Joan's Garden Challenge #8

Good Evening Stampers!

Tonight I want to share a very quick card I did

for Joan's Garden. You really need to go to her site

and check out all the cool stuff going on there.

Now on to my entry.

Like I said it was a very quick one, not real detailed

except for the layering of the flower and leaves.

I used JustRite stamps,& the Fleur De Lis nesties.

Some gold brads, and my Gold pilot marker.

Black Memento ink and Copics were the

inks I used to color with. I embossed with the Sizzix

swiss dot folder in my Grand Calibur, love that machine!

So there you have my quickie card hope you like it.

Please go check out Joan's Garden

BIG prizes available if you so hurry!!!

Until next time Big Hugs

Lana

P.S. Tomorrow I will post my big project I have been working on!!

Guest Designer Follow up

Hello Stampers!!

Hope your all enjoying good weather today, it's been

fabulous here in NE Ohio today, sunny and around 50.

Finally LOL LOL, but it's not to last,tomorrow is to

be in the lower 40's then 30's again!

BUT spring will be here soon!!!!

Today I wanted to share what I did for the inside

of my card that I did for Joan's JustRite Blog Hop,

( see posting below for more info.)

Since I did use one non JustRite stamp for the inside I

couldn't show it on the blog, but felt it was okay to

now. I did use the JustRite flower stamp and part of

the word one that was used on the front. I used it

with a stamp from The Stamp Barn. Again the pictures do

not show well all the distressing and layers or even

the rhinestones, but you get the idea at least.

The size of the card is 6 inches by 7 inches.

The ribbon is the actual "fold" that holds it all together.

Well I have to get busy on a big project I am doing for my

Doctor I go to, that is expecting a baby in May. It is taking

me forever, hence this posting today and not something totally

new LOL. At the rate I am going with it, the baby will

be here before I get it done LOL. So for now,

Hugs to all and come back soon.

God bless you all!!
