Digital Tuesday Challenge #39






Welcome to another Digital Tuesday Challenge!!


Michelle R. is my name and being hostess this week is my game!!

First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderfully happy holiday last week, and is looking forward to a HAPPY NEW YEAR this week!!

Second, I would like to thank everyone who played along last week in the Let It Snow Challenge, we had so much fun visiting your blogs and seeing your projects. A random winner for the 3 Dustin Pike images will be chosen later on today!


*******************************************************

Now, on to your challenge for today!!

We are now in the midst of winter. My daughter, Aliyah, is dying to see snow. She keeps hoping someday it will snow, but alas, we live in Florida where it never really snows. So it is for her I have created this challenge.

I want to see winter scene images using lots of Dazzling Diamonds for snow.

Our sponsor this week is Soft Pencil. Elizabeth has many cute winter scenes as you can see by many of the creations our wonderful DT has created on the Digital Tuesday Challenge Blog. The winner of this week challenge will receive a $15 Gift Certificate to spend on Soft Pencil images.

*****************************************************
My image is from Soft Pencil. It is colored with Prismacolor Pencil and OMS. I did both the outside and inside of this card. I used Dazzling Diamonds for the snow on the image and for all four snowflakes. And to add a little extra snow in case the Dazzling Diamonds weren't enough, I used my Cuttlebug Snowflake folder on Shimmery White Cardstock for my BG too!! The title of the image is 'Looking For a Friend'. I chose to use it as my computer generated sentiment. To finish off the sentiment, I put 'and I found you' on my inside.
Wht do y'all think?

What I Have Been Up To

Hey there,
.
I just wanted to show you what I have been up to lately. I kinda took a break from making cards seeing my stamp room is so chaotic with everything every where you can't find anything. It also was the wrapping station for Christmas.
.
I made a few ornaments to give as gifts to my BFF's this year.
.
You can find the tutorial in a very old blog post (November 2006) made by Amanda Sewell - Inkspirations here.





I made a Plaid Bucilla Felt Stocking for one of my God sons for Christmas next year. I am making one for each of my god kids and this was the first one I completed. I'll show you each one as I finish them. I already have stocking made for my family. I made them several years ago. My extended family saw them and they wanted one too. So I am making 6 of them over the course of the year for next Christmas!!

.

Here is a pic of my family's stockings made made a long time ago...

What do y'all think?

I am now going to clean up my stamp room. It will probably take me the whole day!! LOL

Once I am done, I will get back to making cards finally!! I am hosting the challenge for this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge, so I'd better get cracking!!

Hope everyone had a beautifully blessed holiday!!

Warm wishes to all,

Michelle

Angel's Landing DT Challenge





Hello there everyone,
.
This is for my Angel's Landing DT Challenge. Judi has challenge us to make anything to do with a gift. For my Gift Giving project, I chose to make a window treat box. I used an image from the Polar Bear Cubs set, coloring it slightly with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. I used Shimmering White, Felt Snowflake DP, and Metallic Silver for my papers, and Nestabilities to cut out her window. My embellishments include white wired ribbon and die-cut snowflakes covered in Dazzling Diamonds centered with a rhinestone. My sentiment is computer generated. The candy inside the box is vanilla flavored Tootsie Rolls.

This is for Digital Tuesday Challenge #35 Christmas Sparkle. Lora is our lovely hostess this week and she has challenged us to use glitter and bling on our creation this week. My glitter and bling is the snow flake and metallic silver paper.
