Guest Designer Card for S2G Sparkle Challenge

Hi Everyone,
Guess what I've been invited to be the Guest Designer for July at S2G.  And if you couldn't tell by all the places that I have posted the news I'm Sooo Excited!!!
This is my first project as Guest Designer and I hope I don't dissapoint.  So wish me luck.
I was sent this image to work with for this weeks Challenge. The theme for July is Summer & Travel with a Twist.  This weeks Twist is Sparkle.  The only thing wrong with "Sparkle" is it is hard to get in a picture.  But don't worry if you can't get it to show up in your picture.  They trust you have it on your project.  So get on over to
S2G  at http://s2gpapercraftingcontest.blogspot.com/ and join in the fun.
Now For the Details
The image is Passeport (Passport)
Copics
Glamour Dust & Stickles for the Sparkle
Glossy Accents

S2G Challenge #62 Something New

Hi Everyone,
Hope this finds all doing well.  It's not quite as hot today as it has been.  But that won't last long.  Well, I've got a bunch of Bridel Shower Invites to finish up.  But that means a trip to Wallyworld (50 miles roundtrip) I ran out of tull.  So I will get to my entry details this weeks challenge.  Thank You for considering my entry.  Have a good one.

Entry Details
S2G New Sassy Bride Image (My Something New)
Martha Stewart Punch
Glamour Dust


Flower Soft & Flowers that Steph http://stagnantlycreative.blogspot.com/  sent me for my Birthday. 
DP My Minds Eye
Copics to color

Stickpens & Heart Charm from Quixotic http://www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk/
And Last but not least

After seeing my card using the Bridel Songs image.  My neice wanted to know if I could change a few things on the orig. and make some invites for the shower she was going to give.
So here's what I came up with.  We kept the card simple because of having to cut cost for mailing.  So a little glamour dust for a touch of bling.  This is the project that will have me making a 50 mile trip for the tull.

Well, I think that covers it.  Thank You for considering my entry.

Sugar Nellie Challenge #9 Gate Card


Hi Everyone!
I just love this little cutie.  Isn't she adorable? This is the first chance I have had to use her.  When I first colored her I was planning on sending her to a friend in Ca. so I  used her colors.  But !  I find that I am going to have to make another.  I just can't part with her.  Good thing that these are some of my colors also.  Well, since this entry has a lot of pictures with it I had better let you go & get to the details of my entry.  Thank you for considering my entry.

Entry Details
Image Sugar Nellie "Pen Pal"


Hair, Skin & Envelope are done with Copics
Prismacolor Pencils for the rest of the coloring
Glamour Dust,  Martha Stewart Glitter & Dodlebug Sugar
White w/Black dots Paper BoBunny
Blue DP My Minds Eye paper pack

Since I always get stuck making bows for everyone I wanted to make it so the bow did not have to be untied to open card.  So I used Picture corners to hold the image that then holds the card closed. You just slip one side of the image out of the corners to open.
Flowers & Ribbon are some I had
Stick Pens are from Quixotic Paperie
Spellbinders Fleur de Lis & Cuddelbug Embossing Folder


And the finishing touch on the back a button I had hot glued and center filled in with a BoBunny crystal
and now you know what the B in BJ is for.
I'm sorry that this was a long one.  Thank You for stoping by.
