GUEST DESIGNERS

Lorraine

Image and song is Jingle Bells from Limited Runs, Papers used Bearly Mine, added the song by way of MCS programme, added lots of silver glitter around the edge, the bells I printed and then cut out added loads of silver glitter and coloured the bows with Graph It Markers, then added silver mirri card candy and holly leaves.

Myriam

There is a children´s book called "Narcisa, la gata coqueta". It's about a beautiful cat that always is thinking about her beauty and doesn't take care of real important issues.I did a corner bookmark and I used "PurrtyGirl" stamp from Paper Pretties.

Christine 

Christine used Parrot Hani from Paper Pretties and this is about Pirates of the Carribean, more details on her blog.

I think you can work out what my card is about, the song With a little help from my friends by the legendary John Lennon. The image is Pierre and Ernest from Paper Pretties, and as soon as I saw the quote that came with the image, it comes with a few sentiments, I knew I had to use this image and sentiment for my thanks card.

Monica

This week's reminder project is inspired by a 70´s Australian TV series "Skippy The Bush Kangaroo".

When I was a little girl I loved that TV series and always made me want a kangaroo for a pet.

This lovely kangaroo is "Kanku" provided by our generous sponsor Paper Pretties.

It is colored with a mix of Spectrum Noir pens and Prismacolor pencils.

Kemly

Hi people!! This week my project is inspired by the movie  "It's a wonderful life", (1946).

 

To my project I used Astra, the beautiful digi from our generous sponsor Paper Pretties. I remember  to Clarence angel, George Bailey friend's. Also I make a Vintage Lantern to hope for better times. My project is coloured with acuarelable pencils. 

Lyn 

Will be along later too.

Doris

Hello everyone. This week I worked on a card inspired in the amazing The Little Drummer Boy. I used the Drummer Boy Digi from our amazing sponsor:  Limited Runs . I also used some cutting files and, as always I used Spectrum Noir for painting this cute digi. I wish you will have an amazing week!!

Cazzy

My first card is a song - Welcome Home by Peter's and Lee, and I have been singing it all afternoon. I used Welcome from Paper Pretties with a sentiment that is one of several with the image, and perfect for my song!

My second card might be a little late, I have to go hospital visiting and will probably not have time to finish and load it up - so check back later.

Monday - a little later than planned, but I wanted to get this right and it was very late when I finished it last night. This is about Pretty Woman, which is a film and a song, but I don't think it was ever a book. Wouldn't it be great if you can find something that covers all three! The image is from Limited Runs and is called Molly and you can find her on the Girls page of Limited Runs. Details are on my blog.

Monica

 

For my first project I used the lovely "Flutterby" provided by our sponsor Paper Pretties. This card is inspired in one of my favorites songs:  Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler. 

This card represents the freedom of an eagle flying high up in the sky.

For my second project I got my inspiration from a pretty sad kids story "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen.

For this project I used "Sitting Pretty" digi provided by our sponsor Limited Runs.

Both projects were colored with a mix on Spectrum Noir pens and Prismacolor pencils.

Kemly

Hi everyone! For my project I used this cute digi Stamp  Winter Fairy,  provided by our sponsor, Limited Runs Stamps. This card is inpired in one of my favorite story, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.  

This beautiful girl remember me, the Ghosts of Christmases Past, I love this story, because I love Christmas. My project is colored with acuarelables pencils.

Lyn 

Will be late, is stuck in the middle of nowhere dog sitting of course! Lyn said "I have gone to the dogs".

I'm here!! I'm out of the 'dog house!' Wednesday night....better late than never! 

 

  Here's my card. I've used this cute little Santa from Limited Runs. He was coloured on the compter, (with a tiny dash of Pastle blue Promarker added afterwards. I've printed him on to my own snowy paper, then fixed him over Pink Petticoat Snowflakes paper and some embossed silver card. The Sentiment diecuts are from Crafts Creations. I've added  some Stickles Glitter to his hat and coat. I've also added an die-cut snowflake corner, white sparkly eye-lash wool and the tiny snowflakes he's holding were punched out from the waste of the sentiment diecuts. And my song?? "Let it Snow! Let It Snow! Let it Snow!" of course.

  Doris

For my frist project I made a card using the Heavenly Angel from the  Fairies and Angels set.  It is provided by our sponsor Limited Runs . I inspired me by the the Angel song from Sarah McLachlan. I worked the image with Spectrum Noir Markers and I added some embellishments too. Here is the link, just in case: Angel.

My second project is based on The Lion King movie, which is one of my little one favorites movie. We are always singing and dancing with this song. The image Leonardo Lion from Paper Pretties. In this case what I did was print and cut in a different papers and I used Distress Ink and Spectrum Noir for the details. And this is the link: The Lion Sleeps Tonight !!!

She is so keen that she has joined in the reminder for this challenge although she officially starts with the next challenge!

Cindy

 I had fun using Clover by Paper Pretties for this challenge.  Such a cute pup!  I coloured him with watercolour crayons and a water brush, then accented him with metallic pens.  My blog will have more info.

Did I have fun with this project!  It fought me, but in the end I won!  This is an 8x10 Multi Media page with layers of stencils and hand decorated paper.  Also using the Clover image from Paper Pretties. Visit my blog for more details...

MONICA

For this reminder I used the cute "Garner" provided by our sponsor Paper Pretties. 
For the brick circle background a used the "reverse mask" technique that I learned from a Jennifer McGuire tutorial that I found here and a brick circle mask that I cut with my Cameo.
Garner was colored with Spectrum Noir pens.

        Lyn     

    

This is my creation for the reminder.  I've used a digi from Limited Runs. I printed out three images, coloured  one with Promarkers, cut out one of the others and used it as a 'mask' over the first digi so I could spray it with Cosmic Shimmers and not get any of the paint on the digi you can see. I've cheated again with the stencil (you don't have to have both on your creations) and used a stencil freebie font called GASMASK.

 

Inside I've added the digi I used as the mask, and as you can see she's splattered with blood! I mean, Cosmic Shimmer!

Cazzy

I'm late, I have a really good excuse and if you want to know why I will explain on my blog!

I really enjoyed playing with my new spritzer to create an air brushed effect last week, and decided to do it again! I am not great at it, but it sort of worked! So I used Grafitti from Paper Pretties cut another one to mask the first one and then used a stencil by Creative Expressions of a scene with clouds, sun and roof tops. I sprayed the sky in various shades of blue and then with the first stencil and mask still in place I used a Prima stencil to create air-brushed rain drops - you need sun and rain to create a rainbow! I removed the stencils and mask and coloured the image with Promarkers, cut and matted it and added one of the sentiments that comes with it and a bit of ribbon.

Sadly we are saying goodbye to Doris, she has decided that it is time to go. We will miss her lots and her wonderful projects and challenges. Good luck in the future Doris, and we hope to see you entering our challenges and keeping in touch!

Here's some inspiration from our Guest Designers:

Susanne

Susanne used Alexandree from Limited Runs on her great tag and...

....Cooper Bathtime from Paper Pretties with a fabulous splash and bubble background and Susanne said "I created a bookmark and a page for a mini album. I used stencils from The Crafters Workshop and also one of Tim Holtz."

Fliss

Fliss features Hannah from Limited Runs and said "I’ve used a Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 Stencil For Art called Never Enough Hearts with Distress inks round the corners of my background paper which I made with an ink applicator and Distress inks."

and Graffitti from Paper Pretties, Fliss said "I used a homemade rainbow stencil and used Distress inks. It was inspired by the sentiment which came with the set."

And from our Design Team....

Cazzy

I used Emily with Huggle from Limited Runs. I coloured her with Promarkers, masked her and airbrushed the background with a Memory Box stencil also with Promarkers. I will have another card to show you soon using a Paper Pretties image. The sentiment is by Penny Black, how do you wrap a hug?

Monica

For my card, I made a stencil with regular acetate cut with my Cameo. I used the Studio software settings to cut "stencil silhouette brand" and it works fine with regular acetate. Then I made a background with two coats of Twinkling H2O´s -I used mediterranean and teal zircon colors- and a final coat with Guesso.

This is a closer look of the background and the lovely "Nadia" provided by our sponsor Limited Runs. I colored Nadia with Spectrum Noir and add a 3d touch with pattern paper in her body.

Lyn
 

Here's my make, I've used Super Cooper from Paper Pretties (for my mask) and, a bit of a cheat...for my stencil, I've used 'Top Secret' freebie font  which looks like a stencil!

 

Inside there's a little place to add some birthday money and I've added  circle to add some birthday wishes.

That's it! Looking forward to seeing all your creations!
