This week is everyone's favorite ANYTHING GOES!! 

Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly

linky party here. Tara will designate a theme and invite you to share

projects you've made!!  And don't forget about the prizes!

Every linky party will have a sponsor and a winner, plus a top 3!

The winner will be announced on a semi-weekly basis.

Sponsors will be announced

at the beginning of every linky party.

This party sponsors are...

CDD- One stamp set

TCBJ - $25 Gift Card

(regular priced patterns only)

And now for my project:
My oldest granddaughter Eva turned 18 this month
Here is one of her senior pictures:

She is a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul
and she is very artistic.  Here is the card I created for her.

I used lots of Prima Product for this card.

I tried to get the Julie Nutting Doll to resemble

my granddaughter in her pictures.  I think

its a fair resemblance!!  I used Prima Color Bloom Spray

and a stencil for the background.  The trim along the side

is also from Prima as are the flowers which I inked

up with my Prima Chalk Edgers to match with the background.

I also added some Prima Glitter Enamel Dots.

Her face is from Peachy Keens Laffy Taffy Assortment.

I used a chalkboard tag for my sentiment and the actual sentiment

if from the Be Inspired Stamp Set, which I stamped in white ink.

I used Bring on the Cake for the sentiment on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by!!

I have 3 projects to share with you today!

For my first project I used Bitty Blessing

I tried a few different techniques with this release.

For this card, I first embossed the sentiment

and starburst pattern from Bitty Blessing

with Zing Clear Embossing Powder

and then I inked the background with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Pickled Raspberry to

reveal the stamping!!  I finished but adding

the cute little baby and ducky.

They were colored with my Spectrum Noir Markers

and I used a Peachy Keen stamp for her face.

 

For my next card, I used Sew Raggedy

Papers are from Doodlebug and I colored with

my Spectrum Noir markers.  It is faint, but

can  you see the stiching??  I was able to

manipulate the stamp on my block into

a curved line :)

 

For my last card, I really stepped out of the box

using Tissue Time!!

Tissue Time has those cute little mice, but

I decided to make a clean and simple card

to highlight the sentiment.  I also tried

watercoloring with my distress inks.

Once again I started my stamped and embossing

my sentiment with clear embossing powder using watercolor paper.

Next I "painted" on color using distress ink and water.

Next, I dripped water onto my paper.

I finished off by adding some sequins and some twine.

Your next stop on the hop is the amazing NICOLE

Friday lineup..
