Christmas Elf Journal Page

 It's the last design team project for December for TTCRD. I had to use the digital Christmas Elf. The journal page I wanted to use was my December Daily Day 6 because December 6th is the day the last design team project will be put on the blog. I have really enjoyed being on this design team. So, I colored in the digital and cut it out. Then added my title to the page Day 6 December Daily.  I just thought it was very fitting to the situation.

Challenges:

Christmas Penelope

 I am starting on making Christmas Journals for the season. So, for TTCRD I wanted to make my piece based on Christmas. I loved the versatility of Penelope No. 3 from Oddball designs. I colored in the digital with markers and watercolor pencils. I took some scrapbook paper and scraps to make the mini journal and add dimension to the background then glued the digital on top.

I am sorry I am not myself today I am dealing with some personal issues at the moment. Hopefully, my next post will be more like usual. 

Giant Mushroom Art Page

 I had the page made for about 2 years I washi taped and used watercolor to make the background. I thought the Giant Mushroom from Sheepski designs would be a cute focal point for this page. So, I used it for my August DT project for TTCRD. I added a label because it's a habit I have had lately. Then I added the phrase "It's a good day for a good day" which I thought went well with the gnomes. I admit it didn't turn out exactly how I saw it in my mind, but I like to make different pieces not identical ones every time. 

Challenges

Altered Guest Check

 I colored in Cream Tea Chalet from JMC. I am a huge fan of JMC's Teacup series. Each teacup has an individual look.  I added some washi tape, some words, and the colored digital onto a guest check. This is a simple project with multiple uses. For example, birthday cards to using it in a journal or a thank you for shopping card. Come visit more beautiful pieces from Through The Craft Room Door.

Pocket Watch

 For Through the Craft Room Door Design Team

I used one of my collage masterborads to use as a surface.

Then I stenciled some Nuvo embellishment mousse.

I then started coloring the digital Pocket Watch from Dr. Digi.

I glued the pocket watch on then added gold glitter glue and some glossy accents for the middle of the pocket watch. 

I added some flower and butterflies to look like they are flying out of the pocket watch.

I think this piece symbolizes the happiness and busyness I have had the last few months. Also, I feel like my happiness is on the clock at the moment with the stuff I hope to someday be able to share with others.

Christmas Blooms Window Shutter

 I have had an old window shutter laying around for a while to use for a project. I decided for my TTCRD design team project this week. I used the digital from Beccy's Place called Christmas Blooms Digital Stamps. I first painted the shutter black. Then colored and modpodged the digital onto the shutter.  I hot glued doilies and added some glitter accents. This project was time consuming based on dry time. Otherwise the project was quite simple and easy. Makes a perfect Christmas gift.

Snowmen Gift Bag

 I loved this idea for a design team project. I made it for TTCRD. We were sponsored this week by Dr. Digi. I choose Gift Bag Template "Snowmen". I wanted to get out of my comfort zone but also stick to my style. I used some walnut stain distress ink to make seem vintage. I also added some lace and twine to give it character. I only used a regular A4 cardstock. It's great to add some candies or in my case tea for my grandmothers upcoming Birthday. I threw in a cute vintage card printout for the front.
