I had so much fun with this card, I used my cricut, a new stamp, my computer, my new Studio Acrylic Paints, my new I am Roses neutral rose buds, and a cute, cute stamp from A Day of Daisies.  It has been sooooo cold here, I decided to concentrate on a warmer thought, like spring.  I love this little fairy, and she is so tiny compared to the cherries she is leaning on, that I decided to gound her on a tree branch.  I hope you enjoy.

Walking, well Rolling, in a Winter Wonderland

I just had a blast creating this, after I got the Imagine Calibrated properly.  Calibration is really a frustrating experience for me, especially when I forget the you don't go to a higher number to increase when you are in the negative numbers.  Yes! I did that, and could not for the life of me figure out why it kepts getting worse instead of better.  Reread the directions multiple times.  Decided to take a nap, and after the nap it dawned on me what was going on, and we fixed it, as you can see. LOL  I just love these snowmen, and have used them a lot.  This whole design is from the Snow Angel Cricut Imagine Cartridge, including the card background.  Hope you enjoy.

Valentine for Hubbis

This is one of those cards that ya couldn't get enough on, and then all of a sudden it was almost too much.  I decided to stop here.  I had an amazingly bad experience with my red spray glitter.  :(  I broke the bottle sprayer, and I really wanted to use it here.  I ended up using some gold that was OK, but not what I really wanted to use.  Anyway, I'm giving this to my Hubby for V day.  However, I wanted to use it in  a couple of challenges.

Recipe:

Stamp: Outlines Rubber Stamps, Digital Greeting: Neumann Studio, Flowers: Petaloo & Hobby Lobby spray, Lace: Paper Studio.  Glimmer Mist gives us the shiny, Spellbinders gives us the circle sentiment shapes.

Punk's House

This is three digis from Make It Crafty, that I layered using Photoshop.  The paper background is a digi paper that I picked up from Stitchy Bear.  I made the label in Photoshop and cut the background label with my Spellbinders die.

Medallion Flower

I used a digital image and made a layered flower from it.  I just love the way this turned out.  I used Copic to color it.  Such a lovely image.

A Ragamuffin Valentine

I love grunge and steampunk art, and this little Ragamuffin from Saturated Canary just fits nicely into my particular style.  I used tim holtz gears and film strip as part of this card, along with Maya Road flowers.  I used some Lindy Stamp Gang spray glitter, but painted it with a brush.  I used a background paper from Stampin' UP I think.  The card base is Gina K layer weight. That about does it.

Bleached Snowman

This guy had some surprises in store for me.  I thought that Ranger's Archival Ink was similar to Stazon.  It isn't.  When I hit it with the bleach it faded.  OOOOOhh!  I agonized over how it was going to look, and surprisingly enough I actually like how it turned brown and gives the whole scene a more washed out, sunny feel.  The shadowed area stays black and gives good contrast to the scene.  The blue paper I used wasn't the best, so the bleach wicked into areas that it wasn't supposed to, but overall it is hard to tell.  I had to cut the border of, as that really showed badly, but the rest is acceptable to me.  The white sure came up in this.  Wish the bleach worked half that well on my hubbies grass stained socks.
