Friends Forever by Tiddly Inks Stamps

I am excited to enter Challenge 232, which is the last challenge of the year for Tiddly Inks and a DT  call. For this challenge, I selected the digi stamp Friends Forever. I love entering these challenges and it I am selected to be a DT, I would be over the moon! Good luck to everyone who enters.

I created a 6x6 card. I selected paper from American Crafts called Everyday. I specifically selected this paper as the background paper had the perfect sentiments about friendship written in text. I also used brads from Doodlebug to accentuate the card.

I used the following copics:

skin - E11, E000, E00, E01, R20, and R30
brunette hair - E77, E74, and E71
red hair - YR38, Y35, and Y17
clothing - R22, R11, RV23, RV13, and RV11

I do lives on Wednesday and Friday evenings at 7:00 PM EST. Please join me on my Facebook page at Creative Paper Crafting with Jacquie. I post tutorials and replays of my lives on my YouTube channel. I would love for you to like my page and subscribe to my channel.

Marshmallow and Cinnamon Shaker Card

I created a shaker card for my final December DT project for MyBesties, using Marshmallow and Cinnamon Snow People. Actually, I went a bit overboard this month and created 7 or 8 projects. I just couldn't get enough of all the great December releases.

For this card I created a 6x6 card. I selected two digi papers from Lozzie to use for the background of the shaker and the base of the card. I selected a variety of  white sequins from my stash. I cut a silver snowflake on my scan-n-cut to use as an accent and white washi tape along the side for added interest.  First I colored the adorable kitten by MyBesties.

I used the following copics:
Cat

• Hat - RV23 and RV11
• Hat Fur - E41 and R11
• Cat Fur - E11, E55, and E13
• Claws - W0, W2, and W4
• For the eyes I used my prisma color pencils - Dark Brow, Light Umber, and Metallic Gold
• Nose - E13 and E55
• Cheeks - R20, R30, and RV11

Marshmallow and Cinnamon

• Snowmen - BG000, B00, G00, and Blender Pen
• Scarf - BG23, BG13, BG11, R27, R24, AND R14
• Nose - Y38 and Y17
• Bow - RV23 and RV11

For this image I started with light, medium, dark, medium with a touch of light with the copics. I love using copics to color. I always find it so relaxing to sit and color an image.

A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge for Dec.15, 2019

This is the last challenge of the year and I have so enjoyed every challenge at A Bit More Time to Craft, where the theme is Anything Goes. The prize is beautiful digi papers. I am like many of you, raising children, working, and rushing around. In fact, I am raising my grandchildren, along with one child of mine, who is still in high school. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and had nearly stopped crafting, when I applied for the A Bit More Time To Craft DT team. Wow, my life changed from that moment on.

Now I am now on 2 design teams - for KLM Designs and MyBesties, as well as Through The Purple Haze Challenge team. I have found myself again, and am crafting several times a week. My wish for you is to do what you love, craft, paint, sing, whatever it is, do it. Have a wonderful New Year, and I will see you in 2020.

"The Perfect Tree" for the pertfect time of year - Christmas!

I just love Christmas time. Kids are so excited to see Santa, families and friends spend time together. The stores are bustling with excitement. Music, food and kindness abound. This sweet image captures the innocence of a child's belief in the magic of Christmas. The stamp is Perfect Tree from Lily of the Valley.

I created this 6 x 6 card during my Friday night live. I used my favorite copic combos:

For the skin - E000, E01, E11 and for the blush: R30 and R20. I lightly use the R30 on the outside of the R20 and blend with E000.

I used the following for the hat and coat - B97, B91, and B93. I used a light was of BG000 on the hat before laying the darker colors on top, I did not use BG000 on the jacket.

Trousers and Boots - W04, W02, and W00. On the sole of the boot I used N04.
