The Colors of Spring!!!

     Welcome to our Spring challenge over at House of Gilli ~ think Spring colors for your project!  It's so fun to change up your colors throughout the year, isn't it.  I love doing this because just as I tire of some colors it's time to move on to a new look.  I've inked up and colored Painter Gilli for my spring look.  

     So pull out your pretty spring paper, markers, pencils or whatever you use to create and come join us over at House of Gilli.  :)

Create a Spring or Easter Tag!

     Our new challenge over at Through the Craftroom Door is to design a tag in an Easter or Spring theme.  Our sponsor for this challenge is Pizzazz Aplenty and the winner will receive $10 worth of goodies from this sponsor!  We also have a monthly sponsor Aletha from Ippity and this winner will receive an $18.00 shopping spree!  I used my Cameo to create these tags.  The butterfly stamps are MS and I added little Swarovski rhinestones for a bit of glitter.

     Can't wait to see your project at Through the Craftroom Door, and thanks for stopping by.  :)

Happy Easter from Gilli

     Hi, I'm a couple of days behind in my posting, but I wanted to tell you about a fun challenge over at The Outlawz.  Our Greeting Card Challenge this week is to make a card using some green.  It can be a small amount or green all over, just make sure you include a bit somewhere. 

     I used some Liquid Pearls on my Easter Egg and Oozak has tons of different colors.  I love liquid pearls for a quick and easy way to add some color and fun to my cards.  Perhaps you'll be one of the lucky March winners over at Outlawz and will be able to pick out lots of fun craft items at Oozak which has super speedy service and a ton of craft temptations to choose from.  ....Or maybe you'll be the winner of a Gilli Goodie Bag....I love the Gilli stamps!  ....and we also have the wonderful sponser Paper Temptress who carries the most gorgeous paper, including, Cryogen, which is great for Copic coloring.  ...and there's also an opportunity to win a class from the very talented Suzanne Dean over at Color Me Creative Classrooms.  Suzanne was my Copic teacher both online through her videos, as well as, her on the road class!  All the sponsers are terrific so I would enter as many Outlawz challenges possible, if I were you.  ;-)

      I inked up and colored Jean Gilli and an Easter egg for my card:

     Thanks for stopping by!  :)

2 Fun Challenges!!!

     Today I have two projects to post and two fun challenges!  The first is over at House of Gilli and it's to use the color green in your project!  Check out the site to view some inspiring green projects here!!!  I've colored Celtic Gilli using Copics for my card; and remember, if you ink up Gilli to use for your project, you'll be given one extra chance to win a Gilli goodie.  :)

     Looking forward to seeing your *green* card/project here!

     Next up is a sketch challenge at Through the Craftroom Door!  Just go here to have a look at the sketch as well as to post your card for the challenge.  Prize for this challenge is a $10 certificate to Guylous Inimitability!!!  For this card I used Guylous digi image Leah.  I colored her with Copics, and paper pieced her shirt (then shaded with Copics).

     Hope you'll stop by both challenges, and thanks for stopping by here!  :)
