New Challenge at Lia Stampz - Shabby Chic

We want to see your Shabby Chic projects this fortnight at Lia Stampz!

Here is my project:

The image is called Haley.  I colored her with Copics and texturized her with some grosgrain ribbon and colorless blender.  I sponged everything in Stampin Up crumb cake and bermuda bay inks.  I used some retired Stampin Up Christmas paper.  The burlap I bought from a seller on Etsy.  I punched out a snowflake from some bermuda bay card stock and added glitter and a pearl.  The Merry Christmas stamp is from Impression Obsession.

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Also this month at Lia Stampz...

Surprise Birthday Blog Hop for Sandy!

Welcome to the Surprise Birthday Blog Hop for Sandy!!! 

Sandy is having a birthday today!  What better way to celebrate our fearless leader's birthday than with a crafty (surprise) hop!?  Every stop along the way has a surprise birthday project for Sandy created by each of her design team members.  Sandy is such an inspiration to all of us and she has been so supportive and generous. She's a great friend and a very talented and artistic woman! 

I absolutely love Scribbles Designs images.  I was so excited when Sandy told me that she was going to start it and round up a design team.  So happy and honored that I'm with her and on her team!  

Happy Birthday, Sandy!

Here is my project for Sandy:

I used her digi called Sundae.  Inked it up simply with Copics.  Did a whole white-on-white motif and added some polka dot red ribbon, stitching, rhinestones, and stamp from Stampin Up!

Next head on over to DEANNE'S blog for the next project!

Here's the line up, in case you get lost (Make sure your last stop is SANDY so you can wish her a happy birthday!):
