Tiddly Inks Challenge #147: Winter Blues (but not sad!)!

** Please click HERE for my Some Odd Girl Hol-ODD-day Blog Hop Post! Thanks! **

Good morning, everyone!

For our final challenge of the year over at Tiddly Inks, we're challenging you to create a Winter Blues card - but don't make it a sad one! LOL You can interpret this any way you like, but I ended up working with BLUE! And I loved it!

I used a new-to-me image called "Catch My Heart" and colored up this sweet girl in different hues of blue. I found this old patterned paper from DCWV in my stash and I absolutely LOVED how the umbrella paper really went with this sweet image! The sentiment is from an AmyR set that I've had in my stash but never even cut apart the rubber - yay for using my stash!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today! Hope you get a change to play along with our challenge. Be sure to stop by the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and link up your Winter Blues project - we can't wait to see what you create!

Tiddly Inks Challenge #146 - Gratitude and Joyfulness!

 Hello my friends!

There's a new challenge over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog today! In honor of Thanksgiving, we're challenging you to create a card expressing Gratitude and Joyfulness! It's only fitting, right? :)

Here is my card:

This week for my Gratitude and Joyfulness card, I decided to use Wryn - Thank You Beary Much. She's just so super adorable with the teddy bears, that I couldn't resist using her on a card! AND she's only $1! :) Be sure to stop by the Tiddly Inks store to pick her up!

And I really want to take the time to thank all of you for visiting my blog and checking out my projects! I'm really enjoying creating on a regular basis and I'm loving the feedback I get from everyone, so keep the comments coming! :)

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving week with your family and friends! If you get a chance, be sure to play along with us at the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog. We can't wait to see what you create!

 

 

 

Tiffany Doodles release: new Photo Overlays!

For Getting Cricky's "Cabin Fever" Blog Hop CLICK HERE!

Hi everyone!

I know it's been a while since I've done a Tiffany Tutor video - I was hit with 2 colds at the end of January and February and I couldn't speak for more than 2 minutes without coughing! Ugh. It was the WORST!

And now it's almost the end of February and I have a new video to share with you to get you ready for next week's Tiffany Doodles release! :)

Check out my new tutorial on how to use the upcoming photo overlays set called "Love Thang"...

 

And here's the layout that I'm showing off in the video:

Forgive me... When I create digi layouts I have a really hard time remembering the papers, embellishments, etc. so I don't have a supply list to share!

Anyway, I'm really loving Tiff's new photo overlays! They're like digi sentiment stamps! Super fun and super easy to use!

Check them out when they release next week - Mark your calendars! :)

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!

Tiffany Tutor Vid: Coloring Folds!

Hi All,

I had a request on how to color "folds" using my Copic Markers. I am not, by any means, an "expert" when it comes to Copic coloring, but I do love trying out different techniques with my markers. That's the beauty of using Copics - they're really user friendly.

In my Tiffany Tutor Vid today, I'm showing off how I color the Dancing Dress digi stamp from Tiffany Doodles:

 

Here's the video:

 

And here's my finished card:

supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents), white (Neenah); DP: My Mind's Eye; Digi Stamp: Dancing Dress (Tiffany Doodles); sentiment stamp: Studio G; ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Chocolate Chip (SU!); ribbon (Ribbon Carousel); mulberry flower (I Am Roses); square & scalloped square Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Corner Chomper; Copic Markers

Finally... my card using the Woodland Tree!

Happy Saturday!

If you watched my Tiffany Tutor video on Wednesday, you know that I wasn't able to create a card using the image I colored in the video. It was a crazy week. Thanksgiving just passed and now we're in full Christmas mode! It's INSANE!

Anyway, I was able to spend a little time in the craft room and created a card using the Woodland Tree I colored. I really like how it turned out!

supplies: CS: red (PaperTrey Ink), white (Neenah), kraft (Bazzill); DP: Echo Park; digi stamp: Woodland Tree (Tiffany Doodles); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento) sentiment stamp set: Winter Wishes (K Andrew Design); Swiss Dot Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug); twine: Whisker Graphics; Copic Markers

 

At first I wasn't sure how to use the tree.... But I did a bit of crazy fussy-cutting around it and really loved the way it looked with the Swiss Dot embossed background! Looks like snow! :) And you all know I love sentiment stamps so I used a couple from the Winter Wishes set from K Andrew Designs. Love how you can mix and match the sentiments! Talk about versatility! :)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by my little ol' blog today! I'm really going to try and be good this month and have a post to share with you every day this month! Wish me luck! :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Tiffany Tutor Video: Copic Coloring Large Areas!

Hi all!

I've got another fun video to share with you today! With my last tutorial vid, I had a request on how to color large areas with Copic markers and still make the image look blended.

I also struggle with that sometimes, but in my video I go over how I work with this challenge...

Unfortunately, I don't have a card to share with you today(it's been a rough week!), but stay tuned to tomorrow!

Head over to the Tiffany Doodles Blog for more inspiration!

Here's the image I used in my video, (click on it to check it out at the TD store or CLICK HERE!):
