Image Swap - Lena's July Image

We have just returned from a great week of camping in Idaho with friends.  What FUN!!

Well, it took a bit of finger crossing but my July image from Lena arrived safe and sound through the mail despite the Canadian postal strike. 

For the image swap, Lena decided to really change things up a bit and I love it!!  This cute image is from Dustin Pike.  My son was totally pumped.  His comment was, "Well, they did it.  They found a way to mix dragons and space". 

I decided that I wanted to use this particular background paper with my space dragon so I wanted to cut him out.  But then I needed a surface for him to stand on.  I didn't ha\v one so I just created one!! 

You need to go see what everyone else did with this cool dude of a dragon HERE. 

Thanks for dropping by today!!!  Have a great one!

Loonie Stamper's Challenge - #62 - Holiday Elf

So Jewels picked some great colors and requested a Christmas theme project or card. That is great becuase I am in the middle of creation tons of Christmas cards. I haven't shown you any because I am saving them up for the weeks leading up to Christmas.

So, these are great colors: Dark Chocolate, Aqua Mist and I picked White to go with it.

I decided to go a bit of a different route and printed off one of Dustin Pike's Freebies - this cute little elf. Then I did some paper piecing with Aqua Mist paper and colored his shoes and face with Copic markers. For the white edging on his had and sleeves I used some dimensional fabric paint. Then I was stuck as to what to do for his big moustache and eyebrows. In the end, I used a light grey Prismacolor marker and also outlined him with the same.

For the rest of hte card I added some Dark Chocolate Bitty Dots paper, a bit of Aqua Mist twill (I am loving the PTI twill as it cuts so clean!!) and a holiday sentiment (from Everyday Classics, PTI).

Check out the Loonie Girl's work:
