Mystery Image Swap #44

Hello Hello 

Today I am sharing my card for Mystery Image Swap #44 on SCS. This round is being hostessed by Tracie. The hostess provides us with stamped images to make four cards. We create and send four cards to the hostess, and she sends us 3 cards back plus images for the next round (for a new hostess).  I was happy to see a Whipper Snapper floral image - as I am tired of winter! I used some brighter colors on my cards. The prismacolor colors I used are below: 

 

I also added a Stampin Up Button to the sentiment banner. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from A Sellabration set from 4 or 5 years ago. 

Can't wait to see the cards I get back and the images for round #45

DD - New Beginnings

Hello Hello 

It's the 15th of the month and it's time for a new duel between the Dazzlers and Divas. To start off the new year, Darlene is hostessing the Dazzlers and I am hostessing the Divas. Our theme this month was "new beginnings". We sent each sent our group of ladies a kit with a January 2018 Calendar. We asked them to be creative, and use the content kits to create a "new" card. It could be for the new year, a fun holiday, whatever they choose. They also were encouraged to use any stamps of their own they wanted in order to complete their project. 

I sent the Divas an assortment of papers from the Mint To Be Fab 12X12 Collection from Hobby Lobby. I loved all the gold, black, mint and pink colors and thought it would fit a number of themes that anyone chose for their card. I also included some gold embellishments, a gold tag, and some ribbon. 

My card was created for January 20th - which is Penguin Appreciation Day. :) I put a gold heart on January 20th which is Penguin Appreciation Day, but it's also the day I will get to see quite a few of the Divas and Darlings: Barb (our generous hostess) & Terry are here in Wisconsin, Jeanette is driving up from southern Illinois, Kelly from Florida (flying) Darlene (from the east coast), and Carol (from Minnesota). The six of us are attending Camp-Stamp-in-Oga which is an all day crafty event in Waukesha! I simply cannot wait to see them this weekend. Especially Kelly, as this is her first trip up here. She loves snow and she is going to get it  as it snowed 5 inches here today :) Yay! 

Thanks for stopping by - Hugs ~ LJ
