613 Avenue Create

This is my very first Canvas LO! 
Infact I never heard of these until my friend Karen Wilson showed me hers so she inspired me to make one!
The challenge at 613 Avenue Create is Anything Goes!
I made these stars and they are origami folds. The pix of the stars are my house and I am right by the airport and I'm sure it kinda looks like a land field! LOL! Gwen made them and she keeps adding more, now there are 43, they are taking over my driveway!

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge

At Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge they challenged us to use white glitter or white frosting. They are being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine and I had the perfect image!
I needed a masculine card. This one is called Tipsy Holiday Timmy by Lacy Sunshine and boy did he get tipsy. He found a pink bow on a pkg and tied it on his hat. I used the PNG and made my own background with Template Dreams and MDS2. I colored him with copic markers and prisma colored pencils. The frosting or froth on the beer is overflowing with white glitter.

Lasting Memories #170

Good Morning!!!
WOW!!! I can't believe it's 10 more days until Christmas!
Lasting Memories has a new challenge for us this week. It's called 'I'm Charmed'Add a charm to your LO, so I made my own!

My digi's name is Heather Valentin's 'Twinkle Boo' from Lacy Sunshine.
I printed my digi out on Shrinky Dinks. She was a 4x6 size. What I did was colored her digitally and printed her and then cut her out but you gotta be real careful cuz I don't think the ink ever dry's since it's on plastic paper. B4 I shrunk her, I used my crop-a-dile to make a hole for a charm.
Isn't she ADORABLE?! My journaling says Artist Heather from Lacy Sunshine Stamps drew her for me THRILLED TO PIECES! I read her Angel Policy  but for some reason it just wasn't sinking in! LOL! (but I think it was a good thing so 'Twinkle Boo' could be born) I used the PNG and added her to my pic, printed and then colored her with prisma colored pencils. I found these cutsie little buttons for her pajamas in my stash and I added stickles to the stars. The lattice is a diecut from SU.

Lasting Memories #168

Hello!
If you live in the US, you're probably suffering from TURKEY OVERLOAD! LOL! Time for Christmas and that cold weather.
Well anyhoo, it's time for a new challenge at Lasting Memories and it is called 'Snowflakes or Snowballs'

Last week-end we had our first snow of the season and it wasn't much snow but it sure was cold! Silly Gwen was putting stars up and every once in a while she had to get thawed out and my Sam (the dog) does not like cold weather in the least! Made my LO with MDS2.
