Painting with Chalks

So I watched this Utube Video on painting with chalk. Well I decided to try my hand at it.. This is what I came up with.. This is my new digi Air Fairy.. It is at the shop now for sale at 30% off.. wooohooo! Blending with chalk is different than prisma color pencils. I like how her gown came out but I think her wings are a bit flat. I went over them too much with the brush.. yes you wet the chalk with the tip of your brush and spread it like paint. Once I applied too much chalk I didn't stop naturally and it became flat looking.. duh and duh again.. I like her hair though.. LOL
I didn't have a skin tone so I improvised with a very light pink and a lot of water.. 



It was fun for all.. me , myself and I!! ROFL


Hot Town Summer in the City Back of my Neck getting wet and gritty

Remember that song? I'll humm it.. Hot Town Summer in the City back of my neck getting wet and gritty.. well I'm living that song ,it's so hot and humid in Indiana, well in my house anyways. We are one day closer to getting the air put in.. The one air in my crafts room which cooled the living room and entry way is out still .. I know I've been bitching and moaning for a week now.. I just can't take it much more!! I guess I'll have to so you all have to listen to me bitch and moan all week. I did get some work done yesterday .. I made myself create some new digi's. Do you love love my new Fairies. I'm a fairyaholic, I can't get enough of them. I even made one more but it's not zipped up yet nor put on the preview. boooo on me.. LOL

The other day we went over to my FIL's house and wouldn't ya know it it was his 82nd Birthday and my DH (Duh Hubby) forgot. I felt so bad. Jeanette has this great Freebie Challenge going on in the Forum and the image from Lauretta's Digital Stamps was perfect for a Card for my FIL.. Thank you Lauretta, what a great Digi!! If you would like to buy this digi it's over at our shop I Did It Creations. I added the salutation onto the Digi with the program Paint Shop Pro

Here is the card for DFIL (duh father in law)  Once again you can't see how I tried to blend my prismacolor pencils right so Susan won't beat me!! ROFL.. I had to use my scanner as it was raining outside. 

Oh I'm so jealous Jeanette put in a big order for Copics and they arrived at her house yesterday. I want, I want!! LOL

Summertime and it's sooo hot in this house!!

It's summertime..and the living is not easy!! I hate hate summertime. After living 30 years in Arizona I escaped to Indiana.. wrong!! It's not cool in Indiana especially when the air isn't working right in the house.  I crawled into my crafts room this afternoon to create a card. Nothing was going on, da hubby is sleeping da doggies are sleeping and the cats and birds are knocked out too! Nobody wants to play.. No one is online either.. so what's a girl to do but craft.. okay so while I sweated I crafted.. LOL   here is what I came up with.. I bought this stamp at Michaels.. aint it a cutie..


I'm entering it at a challenge at Sunday Sketch and Stamp. Susan turned me on to all these cool challenge blogs.  Check them out!

Have a cool Sunday what's left of it!!



Fun at our Slumber Party

What fun we had last night at our first ever Slumber Party over at the I did it Forum.. Gals were coming in and out all night until 4 in the morning! We started off with a Speed Craft my take off from a Speed Scrap and had a ball. Wendy our resident Speed Demon won the prize!! From there we did a tutorial on how to make a gift bag and then we made tags and finally a pop up box! Tammy and I were the last to lie our heads down at 4..

Here are some of the projects I completed.. I didn't complete the first project as I called the Speed Craft so I used the digi I was coloring on the second project.. It is a gift bag.. I used my new digi Rose Fairy.




The second is a tag and I love how this came out.. I used a digi from Stitchy Stamps. I'm entering this into Stefs Challenge at Glitterbabes challenge blog. I hope I can enter a tag and not a card. It was a color challenge. pink, turquoise and orange you had to use.



and my third project we made a pop up box. It is not a digi but a stamp I found over at Michaels one day. I found out when making a pop up box be sure you image is up high enough so when you put your tag in the slit it shows up. duh and duh again!! LOL




Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!! LOL we had a ball last night.. Laughing all the way!! Come join us in the forum we have many challenges going on ..Loads of fun and lots of tips and techniques to learn!! Also some fun Swaps... We'd love to see you there.
