The Wiz Relay - Challenge #1

Hello there!

Most people make resolutions at the beginning of each new year.  According to Webster's Dictionary, a resolution is the act of finding an answer or solution to a conflict, problem, etc.  I choose to make declarations, instead of resolutions.  LOL.  So, I declared that I would participate in more challenges this year, and get my name "out there".  With that said, I am dropping off a quick card I did for the Wiz Relay challenge on Scraps of Color - Robert Jackson Digi Group.  We had to use the "Tin Man" image created by Robert Jackson, along with either metal or silver embellishments, OTHER THAN glitter!  Darn it!  (I'm a Stickles fanatic!)  Let's ease on down... ease on down... LOL.  TFL.

Foil and patterned paper by DCWV

Silver hearts and buttons painted using Liquid Pearls

Thanks for visiting my blog.  I can't wait to see what's coming for the next phase of this challenge.

VSDSS Altered Gift Bag and January Blog Hop

Greetings Family, Friends and Faithful Followers,

The Village at Stampin' Dymonz Scrap Shack (VSDSS) is hosting its first blog of 2014; and yours truly has decided to participate.  This blog hop will actually carry on throughout the year, alternating months and themes.  I'm not a regular "hopper" or participant, so this is fairly new territory for me.  Nonetheless, the first hop challenge was to alter a gift bag, and create a matching card, for any occasion.  Here's my entry:

The patterned paper is from my stash
The blue trim is from Diva Cee as one of my goodies in a 6x6 paper swap
The glitter card is from a DCWV Card box
Digi stamp is "Simone" from Kenny K

"Its in the Bag"

Season's Greetings Family, Friends and Faithful Followers,

I hope and pray everyone is enjoying this holiday season, thus far.  No one has over-eaten, have they??  LOL.  My hope for this holiday season was to finish the cards I started over 2 years ago; and actually get them in the mail.  Alas, that didn't happen.  :-(  I am excited about one project that I was able to complete for Christmas... a gift card holder... only I put actually put money in it!  The card is for my DM from the kids; and the purse or "bag" is from me to DM!  Can you say, "loved it"!!  LOL.

The "purse" is from a Silhouette cut file.

The card layout is courtesy of Mojo Monday #320.

Patterned Paper is from a DCWV Christmas mini stack.

As always, I appreciate you stopping by and visiting my little slice of crafty paradise! 

Peace & Blessings!

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!

Hello Again,

Just stopping by to drop off a few cards that I made for a Vendor Showcase in MD last weekend.  I was there, as a first-time participant and full-time supporter of my craftin' sistah - Cassie!  I had a blast sharing this experience with her.  She did the darn thing - great cards, chargers, and great gifts.  I'm looking forward to attending many more of these events in 2014 and beyond!  My hope and desire is to take Taylor-Made Creations to greater dimensions; and this will be possible with the continued prayers, love, support, and butt-kicking encouragement from my family, friends, and faithful supporters!!  Thank you!

Layouts - Courtesy of MojoMonday sketches (2012 & 2013).

May this holiday season bring all of your prayers and heart's desires to fruition!  I truly thank God for all of you who have visited my blog, left blog love, and become followers!  I'm looking forward to doing greater things in 2014!  Will you join me??

Peace & Blessings,
Lisa
