Polkadoodles Winter Birthday

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone is doing well!

I have my DT card for this week's
Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge

to share with you today.

The DT was asked to use the theme

"Winter Birthday"

to create our projects.

I decided to go with 'wintery' colors and

used Ruby Chic. The patterned paper and sentiment are from

the Rose Budd Collection and the flowers are found

in the Winnie Winterland Foliage Download.

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers

and fussy cut. I also used glitter glue and a clear

Sparkle pen on the image, which is hard to see in the photos.

More glitter glue was used on the torn edges of the

patterned paper and on the flowers, which I fussy cut and layered.

I die cut ovals to frame the image and sentiment.

We'd love to have you join us this week!

Your entries can use any image 

and an "Anything Goes" theme!

The Sisterhood of Crafters- Sparkle 

Baby's 1st Year Mini Album

Hey there!

It's my turn to provide a little inspiration for

Digi Doodle Studios!

I had a paper bag album I constructed

a while back and had not done much with it 

so decided I would decorate the cover 

and this sweet image called

"First Birthday"

seemed too be the perfect fit!

I colored the image with the new

Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend Markers

and fussy cut before adding to the

album cover with some circle die cuts,

bow and ribbon roses.

Now, I must confess, I did not come up

with the album design on my own.

I followed a You Tube tutorial by

lyriclover810.

I did not add the ribbon tie on mine

and I minimally decorated the small pockets with

some die cuts included with the paper pad I used,

the Paper Studio's "Baby Girl" 8x8 Collection.

 There is a lot of room in the pockets to add

photos and/or journaling and I did tuck 2 4x6 inch

pieces of colored card stock in each large pocket.

I hope I've given you some ideas to play with!

I think I may have to put a couple more of these together!

Oh, and don't forget to join in this

month's challenge at

Digi Doodle Studios Challenge Blog.

Enter a project that is new for this month with the theme

"Happy Anything" and any image you choose that is hand colored.

You may just be a winner of some great digis!

Something New Polkadoodles Challenge

Happy Friday!

We have the first challenge of the year up at

Polkadoodles Crafting Challenge .

The DT was asked to create projects with a

"Something New or Thank You" theme.

My altered frame was inspired  by the "Something New" option,

as the Serenity Fairy Wishes Download Bundle is new to me

along with the markers I used to color the image.

The patterned paper and sentiment are also from the
Serenity Fairy Wishes Bundle.
The flower embellishments are from the
Rose Budd Collection.

'

The frame was painted with acrylic paint and 

the patterned paper was decoupaged.

The image and flowers were fussy cut and I added

some glitter glue for some sparkle.

I completed my design with some twine.

I hope you'll join us for this week's challenge.

The theme is "Anything Goes" and you

can use any images and products you choose.
