I colored the image in Procreate and printed out with the sky blue background. Next I used colored pencils and gel pens to make the colors pop. I also went around the scrolls with the gold gel pen making faux stitching lines to bring them further to the front of my card.

So my mind immediately goes in the direction of “wouldn’t that make a great decoration for the craft room!” This image with it’s beautiful colors and the sentiment I choose fell right in line with a wall hanging that would light up my area! It involved printing at almost a full page and the sentiment also quite large. Then layering on some bright colors before attaching the sentie to the moon with some ribbon and adding the ribbon for hanging! This sentiment is one I have used with my children since they were tiny babies right up till now as adults! It makes me happy every time I see it! I hope to see you at<a href="https://theoutlawzchallenges-monday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge for March </a>with the lovely things you make to fit our required greeting which is……ANYTHING GOES!

Next I did a print and cut of a black and red doily from <a href="https://pixabay.com/" target="_blank">Pixabay</a> and layered the bottom layer of the wreath adding foam dots to pop the twig layer on top. I gathered a bit of gold metallic fabric and glued to the back of the doily. I added bits of foliage cut out of black from the kit and glued behind the red ribbon I added. This mega kit contains so many awesome flowers and a wonderful box plus a bunny wreath! I kept this kind of low key for the gothic feel! Not finding my glue gun 😞 I attached the Skelly on some of the same ribbon. This FaBOOlous fellow is smiling and so happy to be in the blog hop!

She is so so cute with her bows and love-leigh whiskers! :) I colored her with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers then fussy cut leaving a white border. My card is one I cut out on my own and I have seen similar ones and I am sure they have a name but I do not remember what it is! So after cutting out the pink base I used some pretty marbled paper and cut the top layers. I inked all the edges with Distress Ink abandoned coral and stamp the sentiment (freebie from a magazine) in the same ink adding some gold gel pen hearts here and there! Now it's your turn to dazzle us out of the February gloom with your projects!

His majestic splendor called for a dramatic opening scene for my blog hop this year so my card had to become his stage! The card is a curtain fold pattern following the tutorial at <a href="https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2020/01/curtain-fold.html" target="_blank">Butterfly Challenge!</a> I made it work on a slimline card base made from three of the amazing papers from the <a href="https://leighsbdesigns.com/b/vintage-grunge-decorative-digi-paper-pack" target="_blank">Vintage Grunge Digi Paper Pack </a>from the 2023 Edgar Allan Poe releases by Leigh! The curtain was also from the same digi paper pack! Just a heads up here: all of<a href="https://leighsbdesigns.com/collection/edgar-allan-poe" target="_blank"> LeighSBDesigns Poe designs</a> are on SALE through January 23rd! I printed out the sentie from the <a href="https://leighsbdesigns.com/b/romancing-poe-collage-set" target="_blank">Romancing Poe Collage Set </a>after coloring the background in Procreate and popped it up on a purple popsicle stick I found in my distress ink box! Speaking of my ink box, I used vintage photo Distress Ink to ink all edges involved in this production! Then I added some glitter bits for the bottom corners and the center of the curtain! The only thing missing from this production is my tiny Poe! This is the second year he has been missing! 😢 I have the whole family on the lookout for him so I am hopeful he will make an appearance before the finale of the blog hop!

The image is a gorgeous one from the<a href="https://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/p/monthly-card-challenge.html" target="_blank"> Gecko Galz blog here</a> and is for their monthly Card Challenge. I had some packs of plain kraft cover notebooks and I printed the image (after adding the title in Procreate) on kraft cardstock. I lost of some of the vibrant colors doing that but I didn't want a lot of white cardstock glaring around the image on my cover 😉. It was one of those decisions that I have hated and loved all afternoon long! But right now I am just excited to add some mood boards and prompts and sketches in this notebook for a production and crafty new year!

After a November visit to Japan back in 2016 I discovered a brand new Christmas tradition for my family! Christmas Cakes start appearing in late November in Japan and are a kinda shortcake layers with delicious cream icing in top and in between the layers with gorgeous red strawberries as big as a plums sliced and layered. The top is decorated with whole strawberries and often a Santa pick decoration! In Japan they taste so good and mine, well, not nearly as good but kinda tasty! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoxrhIdFjP3EFzAEBUtdgzV7dOm0sVopr7e37t82jwz2XdyL-29Od0AATzlidLml1w4G8xUPueLr7hFnLHfBXOpAjE4uM0aw-YmQvwFhqazr2RoThBEtxNHLzouYgyNeAnUObtDCA9U-7HDbbhNC553rGS6h8kdC3lvsx7dcwVcJlSaojOWYpCXqTaJqs/s917/IMG_2223.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="917" data-original-width="749" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoxrhIdFjP3EFzAEBUtdgzV7dOm0sVopr7e37t82jwz2XdyL-29Od0AATzlidLml1w4G8xUPueLr7hFnLHfBXOpAjE4uM0aw-YmQvwFhqazr2RoThBEtxNHLzouYgyNeAnUObtDCA9U-7HDbbhNC553rGS6h8kdC3lvsx7dcwVcJlSaojOWYpCXqTaJqs/w326-h400/IMG_2223.png" width="326" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I found this delightful pack with images of desserts and pretty papers that were free from Cardmaking and Paper Crafting magazine (when I tried to link these I kept getting that the site was not there but they do still have a site that has some free images and papers) So with some Procreate magic I added my Merry Christmas sentiment to the cake and layered the image on to two of the papers then added the Christmas in Japan sentie to finish it. I am still working on my digital scrapbook of our trips to Japan and this will work perfectly with photos of me and Noah stuffing our faces with delicious treats and this type of cake (more than once or twice!).

I colored the points and insides of my stars with markers (because I forgot to do it before printing!) 😉 I colored the garland on the cardstock copy with Copic and Spectrum Noir Markers before fussy cutting it out and edging with my Pitt big brush marker in black. The sentiment I printed out on glossy photo paper, too. I glued the garland on to the glossy photo paper copy and attached that to glitter cardstock. I also glued the sentiment to glitter cardstock. This is so marvelously sparkly it brings tears to my eyes! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We do hope to see you at <a href="https://creativeinspirationchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Creative Inspirations Challenges </a>this month where it is always Anything Goes and we look forward to visiting you blogs and seeing what you have created!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
