(This card makes me happy)
I had a lot of fun making all of these cards, but this one just makes me
smile most. I fell in love with this paper pad when I saw it at Tuesday Morning (yes, I
have used it a lot this week) but knew that I couldn't afford to get it with all we
have going on right now. I was later surprised by my husband who apparently saw me
put it down. He went back to get it for me later. :-)

Materials:
Pebbles Home for Christmas paper pad, copic markers,
prismacolor markers, crystal stickles, white gel pen.

I recently read that some challenge blogs

look down on supporting a release or linking

back to digi shops and personal challenge blogs and such. 

If I have not followed your rules, please politely

let me know in an email and I will remove my card

from your challenge. I always look for challenges 

to use AS my inspiration and truly enjoy entering

and playing along in them. It just happens that most of 

my creations ARE for Fresh Brewed Designs or DT 

work. It is what it is ;)

Thank you

Good Morning!

I am back with another card!

Can you imagine, two posts on one day! WOW!

I am amazed myself ;) tee hee hee!

What an eventful week it has been.

Dance and school start back this week. 

Life gets busy, but I found that if you keep your focus on

God and all the good things he has for you, it all seems to work out. 

We are to serve Christ first and in all we do.

Daily chores, tasks, running around - spilling coffee on a newly mopped floor,

getting too hot or too cold ... well, things just set me off and I have a little

'Heather fit' so to speak. I have been trying to remind myself 

or check myself ;) before I start.  I have failed a time or two, but

God puts me back on the path pretty quickly. 

I have a fun card to share with you.

Our new challenge at Freshly Brewed Challenges is 

GLITTER GALORE and boy did I use a ton of it!

Drema Mermaid Digital Stamp

I colored my image with a mix of copic markers and
prisma color markers. I used pretty paper from the
Making Memories 6x6 stack: Just Chillin.
The cardstock (white and kraft) are by Papertrey Inc

To add all of this yummy shimmer, I used the following items:
Stickles: waterfall, fruit punch, eucalyptus
Creative Inspirations Paint: Fairy Dust
Martha Stewart Loose Glitter: Mica

I traced around the image using the inside of my oval diecut,
then I trimmed around it leaving her hair, hand, tail and other little areas
extended out over the oval outline.
I then used the same diecut and cut out the kraft scalloped oval to create a frame.
The paper was so pretty, I didn't want to hid or cover it up.
I chose to cut out a wave diecut using my MFT waves die.
I used the paper as a stencil, inked over it, sprinkled Seafoam White
embossing powder over the wet ink and heat embossed the waves.

NEWS THIS WEEK!

My little man turned 10 years old

And my beautiful little girl, Hannah, asked Jesus into her heart this past Sunday!

She cried, raised her hands in praise, and welcomed Jesus into her heart.

What a beautiful and special day it was! 

And my mom, dad, husband and I were all there with her.

Praise God!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
I do hope you have a blessed and happy day!

Shimmery Mermaid - MEMORY

I just LOVE shimmer, don't you?

Anything glittery just catches my eye.

While talking to my friend Lori this morning, I was

inspired to get out my already colored image and 

turn it into a card. I haven't had much time to create lately, 

so I was happy she kept me chatting long enough to sit down and finish it.

Yes, I typed and glued and painted and typed... 

but it was worth it. I do really like the end result.

And I don't say that too often.

I have always been fascinated by mermaids as a child. 

Perhaps it was my love for the cartoon

The Little Mermaid

that started my obsession (for lack of better word. I am not really obsessed, lol)

Anyway, I love drawing, coloring and creating mermaids.

They are whimsical, mysterious and fun. 

I hope you enjoy my mermaid drawings / creations too. 

Here is a card I created using one of my 

newest drawings:

MEMORY- mermaid

My image was colored using Prismacolor Markers

and Copic Markers

Cardstock: PTI Kraft

Designer papers: the girls paperie: paper girl

All that glitters:

mini glitter stars, SU rhinestones, Aleen's paper glaze, creative inspirations

paint: Fairy dust, gold smooch, WOW SC glitter: Chocolate, gold glass micro beads. 

The full mermaid digi release can be found at Freshly Brewed Challenges.
