Hi everyone........

sold

A goofy little story about my card today.

I was away from home and had taken my markers and some images with me so I could work on them if I had a chance to do so. Well, I did find a bit of time to color. I was coloring this very cute little image for my card today. I wasn't even thinking about the papers that I was going to put with it! You see I normally pick my papers. Then I color my images to match. Well, not this time!!

The cute little clothes on this image just screamed all of those fun and funky NO MATCH COLORS or it's going to clash colors!!

Okay WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!? LOL..

I just knew that when I arrived home and tried to find papers for this image it wouldn't happen!! Then just what was I going to do with this image? But it was an easy day for me when I started to look through my papers. I found my Basic Grey Sugar Rush Pad and open it and the first paper I turned to did have all of those same funky fun colors that I had used on the image!!! So I guess that I am not the only one that puts green, orange, pink, purple and black together!! LOL.. Now I was thinking to self.. Just how am I going to use this and not have it over welm my cute little image.

I swear if its not one thing its another. If I don't do my crafty things in the normal order. It just normally will not work out!! But this one did. I think!

This is what I came with,....

What do you think?

I surprised myself......And I really do like the out come on this one.

The image can be found at Krista's little Etsy store HERE. This one that I have used today just happens to be a freebie image 'Canary Love' from a few weeks back.

Papers: BoBunny, Basic Grey Sugar Rush, Making Memories and Bazzill cardstocks.

Embellishments: Pearls ( Queen & Company), Metal heart charm, ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons, paper flower, string rose trim (I colored them with my copic makers).

Other items for technique: Copic Markers to color image, Distressed inks (Tim Holtz) Stickles (Ranger) The flower was made by using my Marvy flower punch and punch bunch flower punch. I used my circle punch to punch out the sentiment. It has all been put together with popp foam. Sewing machine for sewing the layers of my card.

I added Stickles to the handmade flower.

Copic markers, Distressed inks, paper flowers, stickles can all be bought at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More

Challenges I have made my card to fit:

Basic Grey: Love/Valentine

Pixie Dust Studio pixie Challenge Girlie girl

I have been ill since last May and have struggled to get my DT cards done and posted to my blog. I don't post as often has I used to post and as ALL of my readers/comments know I don't get to your blogs and comment like I used to do. :o( This does make me very sad and I want all of you to know it just because I can't do it like I used to do. By the time I do the commenting for the teams that I am on and get my cards done I am out of steam. I am getting better but it's going to be a bit longer still. So with all of that said I have decided to do a Candy Post for MY FOLLOWERS every 2 weeks or so to show you that I do care and that your comments and following me is very much appreciated. REALLY THANK YOU for all of the comments that you do leave me!! I love to read each and everyone of them!!! You all put a huge smile on my face with each and every one of them!! Okay enough of all that kind of talk and lets get onto the candy..... Today I have a big candy that I truly think any cardmaker/scrapbooking makers will love. Today my card is made with blues and browns the candy is all in blues and browns also.

Papers used: MME, The Paper Studio and Bazzill Cardstocks.

First I tore some strips of fabric and wrapped the candy canes.
For both I have used the Vintage tag by Magnolia and can be found at the Magnoila-licious store.

Elisabeth sees the little creative genius in Michelle and had to do up a crafty little image!!

When I seen this fun crafty little image I just knew that I had to make up a few little gifts for a few of my crafty friends! I have found an old Christmas card box and altered it.

I have colored my sweet little image **CREATIVE GENIUS** with my copic markers. Papers used are from the Paper Studio and Graphic 45. Embellishments: paper flowers, bakers thread, trim, 2 different ribbons, spool of thread button, button, create washer with sugar coated brad, type paper with staples,scissor button. I also have used my new Victorian Romance Flourish punch by Cheery Lynn Designs and can be found at Michelle's Scrapbooking & More. I have framed my image with #3 Tilda Lace Die that can be found at Magnolia-licious. I have added pearls to the corner of imageand on spots of the flourish.

I have inked my little box with my distress inks and then I have taken my sanding pad and sanded the edges to give it a bit of time warped look.

Challenges to enter my projects:
2 Sisters - Anything Goes

CCEE Stampers - 2 Punches or Dies
