Love is in the air...

Happy Friday!
It is the end of January... SO... it is time to make St. Valentine's Day plans and projects!!

We at the A Day for Daisies DT were able to choose a Valentine/Love themed image to show to you, today!

I chose Elephant in Love:
The top washi tape has red foil dots on it (photographed black).  I need to work on photographing shiny/metallic elements!! (any tips you can give would be GREAT!)

We also have a BEAUTIFUL inspiration board to help, too!


There are more beautiful projects featuring the our favorite Valentine/Love themed images on the blogs of my teammates:

Brown Paper Packages...

Tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things!

That song was going though my head during the entire process of making this card.

Lately, I generally lean toward the Clean and Simple look, but today I decided to give the more embellished look (that I used to use often) a try.

The image is from A Day for Daisies, Christmas Shopping:

The image is named "Christmas Shopping" but, as you see, it can lend itself to other uses.

The image is colored with Copic markers.
The design was inspired by the folks a "the challenge":

I hope your Friday finds you warm and cozy and perhaps ...a little time for crafting!

Mermaid Joy!

This one is especially sweet!!  She must be tiny of have a seahorse look so large next to her!
I think she (A Wish Under the Sea) is negotiating a ride!
This image is colored with Copic markers and the layout is from Mojo Monday #430:

We also have a new challenge on the A Day for Daisies blog!  Add stitching!  I used a tracing wheel and a straight edge to add stitching onto the base of my card.  How will you incorporate this challenge on to your A Day for Daises project!?!?

I cannot wait to see!!  Thanks for stopping by my blog, today!
Have a wonderful Friday!

Thanks for the lift!

Happy Friday!!

Today is the beginning of the second week of the January club kit for A Day for Daisies, and I have another super cute penguin to share with you!!

Penguin in the sky:
Normally I resize the images down a bit, but this week I just resized it down a tad so we could get up close and personal.

This cutie is colored with Copic markers and the balloon is highlighted with Stickles!

Have a magical birthday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

To go along with a FABULOUS new year Tammy, the genius behind the A Day for Daisies images has some absolutely adorable images for you!!

I got to use the image Penguin Fairy, today:
She is colored with Copic markers.  The stars are accented with Stickles.
The image and the background cloud are accented with my DIY glimmer spray (Perfect Pearls and water in a spray bottle).  

The card has quite a bit of sparkle with the glimmer mist, the Stickles, shimmery paper and sequins.

This newest release is just so cute!!  You will want to visit all of the projects on the blogs of my teammates to see all of the images in action:
