Design D.I.V.A.S. Group Challenge

Kristi, from my SCS Group Designing DIVAS is heading up our challenge this week. We are to create an altered item with a holiday theme – and that can be any holiday we choose.

For this challenge, I elected to (finally) use the antique satin picture frames my sister gave me. She bought at least a hundred of these to be used as name plates for her wedding reception.. then changed her mind. So I was the lucky recipient.

I simply found an image to fit inside the oval that had a Christmas theme. This stamp is “Christmas Dreams” from the Margaret Sherry Hedgehog collection of Penny Black Stamps. I used a holly stamp and red ribbon for an accent. Both images were colored with Copic Markers. Since I decorate just about every room in the house for Christmas, I’ll find a little spot to place this cutie.

 

Enjoy your day.. and thanks for stopping by.

Hedgehog Love

Do you always need a supply of birthday cards on hand?  I do….I have a huge Irish family plus friends in every one of the states I’ve ever lived in (that’s a lot of states in our good ole USA)…and my supply is running a bit low. So…. I am tackling another set of cards to have available for at least the summer babies. This is the first that I have ready to share with you.

This image is from the Hedgehog collection (don’t you just love these little guys?). This was colored using Copic markers and I added glitter and Liquid Appliqué to the birthday cake to make it the center of attention.

 

Don’t you wish life was always this happy?? Thanks so much for stopping by… Drop me a note and let me know what you think of these little sweeties! 

 

Details: Neenah White linen and black linen cardstock, 80 lb. weight,  SU designer packs (6”x6”), ribbon from Basic-Basic (Michael’s), Liquid Appliqué, SU Iridescent Ice Powder, and some glitter!
