MAGICAL MONDAY - Something Reflective

Wow, slow week last week in the participation, was it my image or was everyone just busy!?! :O)(hehe) Seems like this was a tough challenge as well, so I am including all who participated whether you incorporated the white, grey and/or black or not! :O)

This week I am just going to skate by with brief words as I am still tired and somewhat coughing and ready to head for bed! Today we are going to kick off the upcoming images reflecting wintry fun and Christmas! So you won't want to miss a week! This week I bring you this cute little penguin fast on it's feet!

("Skating By" is no longer available for free... I am in a process of getting a website up and going to make available to you not only these images, but many more originals by me in digital form and in the near future photopolymer as well... it's all in "the works"! In just hours a new free image will be released)

This week Kim brings us our challenge. She would like to see you use this image "Skating By" used with a reflective material (e.g., metallic paper, foil, mirrors, etc) on their project. Be creative!

Well, not sure if you noticed, but the eye will be a little different on the image posted verses whats on the cards. When coloring my penguin I totally lost his eye in the black. Guess I didn't think that all the way through while drawing it, good thing I color my images to catch silly little things like this. I really liked that little dotted eye too! Oh well.. but as you can tell it didn't stop these wonderful designers from rocking these cards!

Have a wonderful week...

MAGICAL MONDAY - Monochromatic Challenge

Well, this going to be short and sweet mainly because I have been sick for over a week now with this awful cough. I managed to make 2 cards this evening after dinner, one for this blog and one for a cause regarding a little girl named Jaimie, so make sure you check out my blog to see another one of my images that will be in my soon to be store. I love elegant images and I think elegant fits this image. Although, I did make this with Thanksgiving in mind, I also think it is certainly an image that could be used for anything in general. So, I will be excited to see what you do with it. Soooo, these designer cards are just wonderful as always, so show your appreciation to the team and leave them all some lovins! I love reading everything you leave in the posts.... so this week let us know if you sit or if you stand while you create. I personally stand, except while coloring my image, although I have been known to stand at our taller table and color as well, but I rarely sit! I use to think everyone stood until I started crafting with friends! :O) So, this week I bring you the image "Elegant Pumpkins". I thought I would also just post the sentiments again this week, just in case someone missed them.

In just hours a new free image will be released)

Leigh Anne brings us this weeks challenge and she wants you to use the image provided "Elegant Pumpkins" and then do a monochromatic card... your image can be multi color.... pick any ONE color for your monochromatic color for your card and then add with that monochromatic color either white, black or grey... Does that make sense? LOL... I hope so! This was my first card for monochromatic, so if you have any questions just slip me an e-mail and I will try to answer you asap.

(monochromatic: one color with variations of that same color from light to dark.)

Lisa did the orange card first and realized she left off the white, black or grey and then sent me this second one, I thought that they were both so beautiful I thought I would just showcase them both. :O)

MAGICAL MONDAY - Let's add some Buttons!

Please send me your address at magicintheair@att.net so I can get this out to you. CONGRATS and ENJOY!

This week I am super excited to introduce three new designers Danielle Lord, Kim McDonald and Selma Stevenson. All bring their own unique talents of inspiration to the team. Don't stop with just looking at their cards posted here, but make sure you also check out their blogs as well. The links are just above their posted cards below. Also, I would also like to introduce to you our November Guest Designer Lisa Cook, she too, brings us a lot of talent and inspiration. Make sure you check out her blog as well. So, why don't you join me in a big welcome for all the new Team Designers and this months Guest Designer!!

I realize that not everyone out there celebrates Thanksgiving, it is a tradition for the good ole USA, so how could I not have an image for that? So I went for a nice traditional cornucopia. I think we all have things to be thankful for no matter where we live on this globe, so I hope that even if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving you could still use this wonderful image to create another type of card for harvest, fall or of thanks. So, in the mist of snagging this free image this week I want to challenge all (lurkers included) to leave a message for the designers and also include something you are thankful for on a daily basis. I am certainly thankful for all of you who participate on a regular basis and also for all the people that have supported and encouraged me along this journey.

Also, I have had a few people inquire about using my images in other challenges and by all means, yes! The only thing I would ask is that you credit me for the image.

Now, the main focus for the challenge is still the image, but I have included two sentiments for you to use as well, but it is not necessary; that is up to you. You could either use them on the outside of your card with the image or on the inside, or not at all. :O) But they are there if you would like to use/have them.

(C) "Cornucopia"

("Cornucopia" is no longer available for free... I am in a process of getting a website up and going to make available to you not only these images, but many more originals by me in digital form and in the near future photopolymer as well... it's all in "the works"! In just hours a new free image will be released)

Nilla brings us this weeks challenge. You will need to use the image "Cornucopia" I have provided and then Nilla wants you to use buttons on your creation.

Part 2 of my interview.

Thank you to all who have taken the time to leave me a message in regards to my interview with Dana. Those posts truly mean a lot to me. Don't ever underestimate a small gesture of kindness, it really does feel good to the receiver and kindness really does ripple. :O) Now if you would like to read part 2 of the interview you may find it here.
