My Besties Fairy Mobile just for fun!

I really like this image just released at My Besties image 338..to the point that i pushed everything else aside to make this mobile.  This mobile is plan B, because plan A didn't work out.

Here is my project:


The "base" of my mobile is a birdcage from Michael's..and it was $3 but with my 40% off coupon..it was closer to $1.60. The beads were all half off at Michaels and i had the flowers in my stash but ended up using a whole package.  Oh, and the clip on butterflies were at Michael's as well 60% off..so i guess for the most part a Michael's project!

Copics used:
skin- YR000. 00, E02, YR23, 24, Y21
hair- E41, 42, 49
flower- W1, 3, R81, 85
wings- V000, 01, YG00, 01
watercolor pencils to highlight

My Besties 3D decoupage challenge KISS (Keep it Simple Sweetie)

This week at My Besties 3-D Deco Challenge blog we have another great challenge for you!

The theme is to (KISS) Keep it Simple, Sweetie on your 3-D My Besties card/project.  That means to make your card simple..we realize that 3D is more work, but in itself it is a simple look with a big impact. 

To participate in our challenge go here:

For this project i am using a brand new 3D sheet that i am calling "Stylish Rosie" and she is found at the My Besties store here.  All of the 3D sheets are pre-colored.


To find the Decoupage sheets in the My Besties Etsy store click here.

The only thing i added to my 3D image was the tulle for her hat..and what i did was gather up some tulle (i stitched mine, but a staple would do) and then i added it before the last layer of flowers were added to my 3D image.

Another added technique is i dry-embossed the last hat layers using Stampin Up lattice embossing folder.

I am chuckling, because this image is called Bobby Bluebird by Digital Delights and i colored him yellow.  Poor bird!  He is cute yellow, don't you think?  I wanted him to be a singing canary.. because inside of the card i would write.. "Some birdie told me it was your birthday"

Here is the card i made for the Digital Delights Blog: using Bobby Bluebird (hee hee) and a new sentiment from the new sentiment set called "Its for You".

He is darn cute..he makes me smile..LOL.

My Besties Aussie Challenge Dreaming with Making Faces image

What an absolute privilege to be asked to guest design at My Besties Aussie Challenge Blog!   

If you have a bit of time you should really check out the Design Team's creations every two weeks they showcase fabulous inspirations! Here is the link to the challenge and their work!

I need to share with you something else that impacts me about working with ladies/men that make cards around the world.. we might not "speak" the same first language but our cards speak volumes that we all understand.   And that is we like to create and share our passion.  I love the encouragement i get from the My Besties community..they have been so kind.

This card was created for the My Besties Aussie team challenge theme that is to use 2 Laces and flowers.  Easy Peasy?
This image is so adorable and is Making Faces #237 found here.  She looks like she is dreaming or "thinking of you".  I have used one set of dies on this card from Cheery Lynn..it's the set of doily hearts. The leaf die is from Noor/Joy Crafts (i think).   I have recycled the packing paper from a Prima package (behind the image) and then i also recycled a corrugated box behind that.  The butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch.
