Sande's Wednesday and a MINI candy

Sande here, with my second DT post for our current challenge "Anything but a card". I made this small painting with the gorgeous digital image by Karen Sheltron and colored the bird with Copics.

They are stocking the store and the all images may not be there yet. 

I'm offering this MINI candy for you.

It contains 4 st. 90x120 mm sheets of vintage stickers. Each sheet has 12 st. stickers on.

All you have to do is:

* be our follower 

* put the photo of this candy to your blog

* link the picture back to Fitztown.

* leave a comment under this post during Wednesday on Eastern Daylight time.

I will draw one winner by random.org on Sunday 8th of Sep. 

Good luck everyone! 

September Guest Designer

Please help us welcome one of our September Guest Designers! We are so happy Kate Leroche agreed to be spotlighted with projects using Fitztown images. She did an incredible job with these images!

First, Kate writes:

My name is Kate Leroche. I live in the middle of Sweden in a town called Karlstad. I am married to Michael and have been together for 19 years and married for 10 years (16 September is our anniversary). We have a daughter Jessica, who is 30 and who has given me four wonderful grandchildren and a son Nick who is 27.

I work part time at a training company with administrative duties. We love to travel and we travel abroad three to four times a year. We spend time with family and friends and love to be in our boat in the summer.

I have always been creative and enjoyed creating things. I have as drawn and painted, stitched and renovated since it allows one to do something for yourself and you feel good doing it.

I became ill 5.5 years ago in something called Frozen Shoulder, which means that the shafts freezes solid and you can not use them at all. Needed help with everything. The road's been long but happy that I'm working again now. I have pain every day but forget it when I scrap.

I have a female friend who was doing scrapbooking and she would stop and get rid of her things, she asked if I wanted to try. I did and it worked for me.

Now I have been doing this for 2 years and like to create folds, details are important to me, and accessories must stick together in what I create.

I started blogging in March and now works as a Design Team Member in three blogs.

Here is her first project using a Morgan Fitzsimons' image. 

Isn't this fabulous!?! Please, if you have time, visit Kate at her blog, K8's Scrapcorner, for all the details and leave her some blog love there too!

Welcome to Fitztown. I would like to share my card with all of you. I used an old car digital stamp. It was a challenge for me to color this old car, but I feel it came out great. I felt this image would make a great boy card. My nephews would love this card. You can find this image on

 http://www.fitztown.com/digi-stamps.html. 

 Fitztown shop is still adding new digital images everyday.

Sande's Saturday

It's Sande here showing you my Saturday DT-card for the current "Add Sparkle" challenge at Fitztown. This fairy is one of the fabulous fairies of Morgan Fitzsimons. If you don't find this image on the store it is because they are stocking Morgan's images to the store and it takes some time. I bet you will find them soon. I have colored the whole thing with my Copics. I like this card myself even it is quite simple. What do you like?

DT Kaija on Friday !

Hello toYou all “ who have got grazy about card crafting” J

This hobby has ”hooked” me anyway; not a day without some card making or something else crafting.

It is so fantastic to create something.

You are so welcome to visit my blog and see my creations.

This one has a story: The story is from the time when I still was working. My employer became my best friend , best friend for the rest time  of my life. In this month she turned 50 years and I could imagine in my mind how I shall recall her. And here it is; the Tag is decorated all over with a thick lace fabric (from a wedding dress) and a clock is symbol the time that flies –suitable for the theme-. Beside it is a charming digi stamp from Morgan Fitzsimmons. You will find it from www.artfire.com.

The bottle beside it consists “Heart Medicine” J The bottle is covered with the same fabric with a vintage theme. Anything which is made with love is beautiful !

Here is the theme for the actual challenge:

Add SparkleChallenge.

Thank You so much for Your visit and I hope that You will join us !

There is more in my blog; Hugs Kaija.

Unexpected Glitz

I've heard tell it cannot be done... I'm here to show you it can be done! ;)

I've been making lots of masculine cards of late. Getting out of my comfort zone, stretching the limits, see what it is I'm really made of. ;) It's been hard to keep from adding bling, flowers and ribbon. 

When I saw this image, it brought back memories of camping trips and fishing when we lived up in New Hampshire. I can clearly remember the way the setting sun made the trees, dirt road and water glisten. I have pictures of my kids as children holding up their catch and in every single one of them the fish glisten from being wet. So... I went for it! 

Here's my card:

I colored the image with Copic markers. The background is colored with Pebbles, Inc. Pearlescent jewel-tone chalks. All card stock and rhinestones are from my stash. I've used The Angel Company and Raisin Boat stamp sets to stamp the background as well. I've dotted the entire background with Stickles in Star Dust, Firefly and Baby Blue to give the card some shimmer. I dabbed the fish with Stickles in Platinum and covered the surface with Glossy Accents to give the appearance of slimy, wet fish. :) lol The image is from Morgan Fitzsimons called Fishing.

Here are some close ups of the shimmer.

Trees and water...

Fish...

Dirt road...

I can't help but be a little giddy! lol I've used rhinestones and Stickles on a masculine card!! :) 

Hope you'll join us for our Challenge #7 - Add Sparkle. Show us some of your glitz and glam!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sande's Wednesday and MINI candy

Hello lovely crafters!
Welcome and thank you for joining us today! It's Sande here sharing my second DT card
for the current Add Sparkle challenge.
I've used this lovely fairy again because I fell in love with her!!
She is one of the new images by Morgan Fitzsimons.
 I have colored her with my Copics.
I usually color the images with my Copics even though I have Promarkers too, but somehow
I turn my eyes to Copics again and again :)

So sad the photo doesn't give the rights to the card because it looks more sparkly in real life. 

The card is size 6"x6". 

I have - again - this MINI CANDY to offer you today! :) 

One randomly chosen winner will get these two packs of rhinestones. 

All you have to do is:

* be our follower 

* put the photo of this candy to your blog

* link the picture back to Fitztown.

* leave a comment under this post during Wednesday on Eastern Daylight time.

I will draw one winner by random.org on Sunday 25th of Aug. 

Good luck everyone! 

Tuesday DT- Maria

Wow, can't believe it's Tuesday again. I just feel this month is going so fast. The next time when I post my daughter will be at her second day of school. Before we know it will be fall season and I can't wait for the cooler weather. How about you? 

For this Tuesday I used an image from Morgan Fitzimons.

You can see her digital stamp images here or here. 

Here is my card:

I colored her with my copic sketch markers

Ballerina!

Sunny Friday wishes from Kaija.
Handmade flower Challenge #6 is still going on few days.
I made a simble card of this gorgeous Ballerina by Morgan Fitzsimons.

I cut the flowers and i inserted diamonds into the middle and a flower made 

of,ribbon also:)I colourded the picture first and the embossing.

Have a nice day all of you!

Hugs Kaija!

Fairy Child

Good morning Fitztown girls! We're so glad to see you back here again! :)

This is my final card for the handmade flower challenge. 

I've made my flower out of tulle. I cut a strip about 9" (L) X 2" (W) and folded it in half. I used needle and thread to stitch through the fold weaving in and out without any rhyme or reason. Once I had the entire section threaded, I pulled the thread tight and tied a knot. I pulled and pushed the tulle until it formed a flat round, gathered circle. I glued the center down and added a flower rhinestone on top. I then dabbed Stickles in Petal Pink to the edge of the tulle. I thought it made a very simple and pretty, delicate looking flower.

Here's my card:

All supplies are from my stash. The image is Fairy Child Stamp Forget Me Not by Morgan Fitzsimons.

Don't forget to join us for our handmade flower challenge. There's only a few days left! We'd love to see what kind of flowers you like to make.

Thanks for stopping by!
