CAGI ~ Recipe of Fun

Hello There!

Early this week I had the pleasure of escorting a couple of our Elders to a Native Elder/Youth Conference, there was some great key note speakers and I found it very informative and loved the workshops.  Cook Inlet Tribal Council has been collaborating with a E-Line Media in Seattle to make a video game "Never Alone"  See the preview on YouTube here  I was pretty excited about it!

Alaska is getting chilly now the last couple of day were in the 20's early in the morning, but today's morning temp was only 17 degree's we are expecting snow again by the latter part of the week and I suppose it will stick around

Okay that's enough chit chat so on to my card, Come And Get It Challenge is being sponsored by the  fabulous Lacy Sunshine & Oak Pond Creations, so come join us for our recipe challenge this week using Designer Paper, Die cuts, Ribbon and Bling

I've featured Lacy Sunshine's "Bride of Frankenstein Susie" in my Halloween Scene

Couldn't find a frightened pumpkin to go with my image so I ended up just drawing one this time

OSAAT 215 Boyish Challenge

Hello Again!

Good news is we've had some rain to help put out most of the fire here on the Kenai Peninsula, I took a ride and went up on Saturday to check on my son's house that was right close to the fire.  Looks like they did a back burn so that it wouldn't do anymore damage to the area.

One Stitch At A Time has a new Challenge up and we have Boyish theme this week and we are sponsored by Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet

For my card I've used the image of "Baby Boo Dragon by Scrapper's Delight" it's he just delightful in his little dragon costume!

OSAAT #185 Winter Wonderland~ Tis the Season

Good Morning

Alaska is in the drench mode of raining, it must of rain all night........ the day I left the weather it was dry......LOL do you happen to remember that phrase?  If not you can find the whole song here

Just a folk song that you would of learned as a kid.

I'm playing again over at One Stitch At A Time Challenge and our  theme this week is "Winter Wonderland" please see the blog for all the details

I had the pleasure to use a digital image from Delicious Doodles called Lycaonia, I really loved working with this image and you can find it at StitchBear Digi Outlet here!  

So I masked the image and stamped trees (Stampscape which are wonderful scene stamps) for the background, then I tried the Frantage technique with what I had in my stash on the designer paper edges for the sparkle and shine.

I've used the digital image from our Stitch Bear Digi Outlet Store called: Clowning Around by BBKakes

So here's the sketch that you get to work with.

See how easy the sketch is!

I'm still on a Halloween kick as you can see by the card I did, the witch showed up more as she crossed the moon until I sprayed the Radiant Rain ......I may have to do some more cards using the sketch as I'm not really happy about this one.

Stamps used: Third Coast Stamps, Stampscapes and My Mind's Eye
Papers: SU and K& Company
Inks: Ranger, SU and Radiant Rains

Thanks for coming by today!

Another Sunday means a new Challenge at Come and Get It, so this week we would like you to make anything your little heart desires ..........but there is a catch .........."NO Cards"

Anything but a Card week!

 My Theme in the bathroom is Mermaids so I finally got a chance to do something with the  Mermaids that I got  awhile back........digital image is from "A day for Daisies" and the figurines are from a shop in Homer, AK.

 This is a picture of what they looked like when I purchased them

 This is the photo of them finished after painting with Lumiere Paints

 Here's my little darling Mermaid in a Bowl, I added stickles to her lower body and fins for sparkle with a few gems in her hair.  Other stamps are Third Coast Rubber Stamps ~Coral

Stamped out image of  Fairy dry brush in distressed inks to color her and spray with Star Gazer Radiant Rains.( I just love the shimmery sparkle from these inks)
