Frosted Designs Challenge - January 2, 2012



Today, I participated in a Sketch Challenge 31 for a scrapbook page from Frosted Designs.  I thought the page was perfect to start my Christmas 2010 album.  What I loved about this challenge is that I could incorporate Erin Reed's tutorial from Frosted Designs on coloring bling or pearls with copic markers.  I took it a step further, and made a little tutorial regarding the process.  I want to thank Regan who included the pearls in her blog candy in helping to contribute to my page.  I hope you enjoy the design and enjoy watching.....

The products used to create the page are as follows: Little Yellow Bicycle Wonder & Wishes designer paper, Colorbok Green Texture Cardstock, Cricut George & Basic Shapes cartridge for the numbers; Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge for the banner; Opaline Pearls; Copic Markers R29, G29; Close to My Heart Black and White Journaling Pens; Red Xmas Stickles and Studio G green pigment ink for accenting elements.

Happy New Year - January 1, 2012

My New Year's Resolution is to at least complete one craft project a week.  Looking back at last year, I did not really get to enjoy my hobby to the fullest or get the projects on my list completed.  Therefore, I plan on changing that including getting my Christmas cards done early as well as my Wedding Album completed.  It would also be great to get my birthday cards done ahead of schedule so I am not rushing to complete them.


This card was my husband's birthday card.  The image is a digi image from Ladybug Crafts Ink.  I think the cat is adorable probably because it reminds me of my cat Clyde.  I used Copic Markers to color the Chair, Mouse, and Cat.  I actually used yellow and orange to color the cat and he turned out pretty good.  Happy New Year everyone!  I hope it is the best yet!
