Welcome to this weeks Friday!  I spent last night with the soon to be 20 year old.  She was in the moos to craft, so we went to Michaels and we bought ourselves some Polymer clay to play with.  She made a shoe, heart  and a guitar that "stinks" (according to her)

I guess there is always next time!  hehe  Anyway, it was great fun and I don't get to spend as much time with her as I'd like!  Her birthday is coming shortly and I want to make a Wicked scrapbook project I found at Archivers.  It's her favorite musical and we sent her and her boyfriend to see it when she was in High School and it's been her favorite ever since.  So keep an eye out for it soon!

Before I get into the new challenge at Stamping with the Dragon.  I just wanted to let you all know that we have added some tabs under our header to make things easier for everyone to find what they are looking for including a tab to see if you were a winner of our past Challenge.

We also want to say Thank you to each and everyone of you who submitted an application to be on our Design Team.  We will be in touch soon.

This up coming challenge is being Sponsored by Stamping Dragon Designs 

Janette was a busy beaver the past few weeks creating our new lines 3D/Decoupage.  These fine creatures have been colored for you. All you need to do is cut and put them together and add a few of your magic touches.  So, that brings us to our next challenge.  SHOW US YOUR 3D OR DECOUPAGE PROJECTS!!!  It doesn't have to be a card but, it must either have a 3D effect or Decoupaged.  The winner of this challenge will win 4 images of their choice from our Store Stamping Dragon Designs.

Check out the Design Team creations too!  We all had a blast creating their projects for you!.

A Dragons' Gift

It's Friday!  Woo Hoo!  I have another class tomorrow with Angie Hunt and Sunday I hope to go to the Apple Orchard with the twins!  I hope it stops raining long enough to enjoy some cider and donuts on a horse cart ride through the orchard.  It's sort of a tradition, since both my children are October babies, we go to the orchard/petting zoo and enjoy the changing trees and family time.

I have a card to share with you today with Jiggy and some of the Dragon Designs digi paper too!  I adore him!  It doesn't seem to matter if he's on a beach, covered in fairies or camping with his pop, the color theme and design always comes together so well when it's with Jiggy from Dragon Designs!  This one is no different.  The card was made to have the appearance of a Christmas gift box just waiting for the grand opening ceremony on Christmas morning!  I paper pierced the presents, made the ornament shiny with dimensional liquid, the wings are angel like with flower soft, I used photo corners to frame the picture like a gift tab and sewed all 4 layers of DP's.  I simply adore this "Gift" card!  hehe

NEWS FLASH!

The OCCUPATIONS challenge sponsored by  Bugaboo is still going strong over at Stamping with the Dragon Challenge blog and I hope you get a chance to pop in and play!   Also, there are some changes a happening real soon so keep an eye out int he store for some new products and maybe even more!

Playing with the Fairies!

Good day to all my friends and family. . . It has been a little warm but a lot rainy here in Michigan this week.  Just as soon as my socks dry out, that grill is getting fired up!   I've been wanting grilled chicken for weeks, and I'm not the most patient person on the planet!
On to this Brand New really mystical and dainty image.  It was so much fun and as soon as I saw it, my gears started crankin!  It reminds me of that story where the elves come in at night and get all the work done for the shoe maker.  I think it was by the Brothers Grimm?  Anyway,  I need to get a sewing fairy, or two,  of my own for all those dresses my daughter wants me to fix the zipper on!  lol
