Let's get dolled up

Happy Day to you all....

Thanks for stopping by.

A new challenge is starting over on

the Hiding In My Craft Room blog today.

HIMCR #266 - Super Scraps Saturday!

And the sponsor is:

MHK Designs!

The giveaway is 3 products from mhk designs!

We, as the design team, were given

the opportunity to choose our

images for this challenge.

I finally decided to choose 

this set, called Beautiful Bottles.

It is a beautiful set..

and I have always been intrigued with 

perfume bottles, especially the 

vintage ones.

The styles, the colors.

I am not one for perfume, 

but I do like how they are presented

in their glass bottles.

Here is what I created:

I used my Prismacolored pencils...

I really wanted to keep the vintage look, 

and as I really look at it now, 

I should have used different papers

for the background..

The papers are from Glitz Designs...

My picture is not the greatest...ugh..

I used a bit of Distress Paint, white picket fence, 

on the background to mute the colors a bit.

There you have it, folks.

Be sure to link up your projects

for a chance to win some 

beautiful images...they are

gorgeous!!

Challenge ends next Saturday 

at 2AM CST! So get yours entered today!

How was your week??

My week was...bizarre

Weather-wise, anyways.

The temperature dropped dramatically--

so much I put my scarf on. lol

It is a running joke in my household--

my kids know when it is cold--I put

my scarf on--yeah, weird!

And the wind---yessh!  Let's just

say there were times when I felt like my

whole house was going to end up 

elsewhere! wacky!

Alright, enough gabbing!

Super Scraps Saturday--You are the only one

Happy Saturday!

I hope you are all well, and

have not caught any nasty 

viruses out there.

My daughter has shared with me

her cold from the week before, 

and it seems to have invited

some of its friends over.

Lovely!

I love my daughter to the

moon and beyond, but

there was no need to share the 

germs with me.

ugh! Wipes me out.

Anyways.

New challenge!

HIMCR #250 - Super Scraps Saturday!

And the sponsor:

A day for Daisies!

The giveaway is a 

$12 Gift Certificate to 

A Day for Daisies!

The Design Team were given the

chance to choose an image

(one of the many perks on being

the design team!)

and here is what I created

I had her printed on red paper--bright

red paper 'borrowed' from

my daughter's stash---shhh!!

Fussy cut, and glued onto white cardstock.

I lightly colored her flesh with

Prismacolor colored pencils.

The script background is

created with a Kaisecraft script clear stamp, 

inked with Ranger Arvhival ink.

Gold Stickles were added to accentuate.

The black cardstock is my last piece

of BoBunny double dot cardstock :(

The bling is also from stash--Teresa Collins, I believe.

The gold swoosh is from a die cut exchange. 

as is the butterfly.

The sentiment is from My Mind's Eye.

Et le voila! mes amies!

I adore this gal---

I have also enjoyed the styles of eras gone..

except the 80s.

Ohmigoodness...wow!

LOL.

That is it for me.

Be safe. Get crafty!
