Happy New Year...

I'm checking off my card to do list...two posts today=)  I made this card for Tiddly Inks New Year Card Event.  Christy was kind enough to supply this lil' guy as a digi freebie...(thanks Christy) isn't he just adorable!  This is the first time I've ever used a digital image.  My dear hubs had to help me figure out the size settings and we had a bit of a paper issue.  Our printer wouldn't feed my Neenah Cardstock =(  So, this lil' guy had to be printed on GP Cardstock, sigh.  I colored him in with Copics.  The DSP is American Crafts, Jolly.  The sentiment is also a free digi from Tiddly Inks (thanks again Christy!)  I used this weeks SC313. 

Have a great night and thanks Hun for your help!

Case'ing Christmas Cards...

For week 4, we're Case'ing any DT Members Card over at Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenges.  I Case'd Sparkle's Week #7 Card.  I used a CC Designs image, but changed the papers, and didn't do the stitching since this gal has yet to learn how to sew=(  I used my Fancy Pants Hot Chocolate Papers since they were still on my desk from my last post.  I just love those colors together!  I colored in Winter Emma with Copics on Neenah Cardstock.  I used a lil' Smooch on the ruffle on her shirt and some stickles on the snowflake. 
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays.  I'll be catching up on some card making...I just picked up some super cute papers from work last night- I can't wait to play with them!
Thank-you for stopping by!   

Rootbeer Truffle...

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.  We had a nice Christmas morning watching our grandson Wylie open his presents.  I had the best gift of all, which was having my daughter and grandsons here with us.  We had a nice Christmas Dinner and have been spending the day hanging out together.                     We're now on week 3 of Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge.  Our challenge was to incorporate Holiday Travel into our card.  One of the guys that use to go to our VW Car Meet had a Golf that was the color of Rootbeer.  I loved it.  I picked up some Fancy Pants Hot Chocolate Paper at work the other day and thought it would go perfect for this challenge.  I colored in the A Muse Holiday Car with Copics on Very Vanilla Cardstock.  I embellished it with Smooch, Stickles, and a Glaze Pen. I used  SC312 and flipped it.                                   Thank-you for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your Christmas with your family!

Peace, Dreams & Wishes...

Another Christmas Card for 2011!!!  This is for week 2 of Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge.  This week we were to use an Angel on our card.  I've had this Elzybell for a couple of years now and this is the first time she's seen ink!  I stamped her with Momento Ink on Neenah Cardstock and colored her in with my Copics.  I used Smooch on the wings, halo and cloud and added some Glamour Dust to the cloud as well.  I put Stickles on the stars and gave her some sparkly red shoes=)  I used Martha Stewart and SU Punches and Denami Design Buttons.  The DSP is Provo Craft Holiday Slab.  My layout is this weeks Card Patterns Sketch 94. 

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Kuddo's for Kathy...

My BFF Kathy graduates from school today.  She went to Pharmacy Tech School and already has a job!  I'm so proud of her!!!                            Since it's so close to Christmas I wanted to use Christmas colors on my card.  I used CPS197 for my layout.  I stamped Diplomabella from Stamping Bella on Bella's Bestest Paper, coloring her in with my Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.  I added Stickles to her diploma, flowers, tasel and sash.  Smooch to her cap and gown.  I used a glaze pen on her boots.  And Denami Design Ribbon...I just love their ribbon!  The sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michael's.
I hope ya'll are having a great week.  Can you believe there's just 10 more days until Christmas???  Thank-you for stopping by!

Giftabella

My first day at work one of the customers brought in gift bags with homemade cookies for all the ladies, even one for me.  The Friday before I started my job, I was at MAC getting a new eye look=)  It turned out that the gal that was doing my eyes, her mom was at the scrapbook store I was going to start working at having her birthday celebration with her girlfriends.  Later that evening she stopped in and told the ladies about me...isn't that sweet?!?!  I made this for Sandra to thank her for her treats.  It was also my entry for Stamping Bella Bellarific Friday Challenge which was to make some type of gift, gift card holder, etc.  I got to thinking that maybe the pretzels might be stale and worried about it so I took the tag off and made it into a card for Sandra instead, lol...which I forgot to take a picture of, sigh. 
I stamped Jinglebella in Momento Ink on Neenah Cardstock, coloring her in with my Copics.  I used Liquid Applique for the white trim on her outfit, stickles on the holly berries and star and smooch on the tree tinsel.  The ribbon is from Denami Design.
Thank-you for stopping bye.  Have a wonderful week!

Purple Snowflakes...

I'm going to give it another go at Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenges.  This is week one for our 2011 Christmas Cards, that's right...Christmas 2010 hasn't happened and I've made my first Christmas card for 2011.  I tried to do all the challenges for this year but life got a little crazy for me.  I hope to stay on track with my 2011 cards. 
I used CPS 196 for my layout.  I stamped the Serene Snowflake in Lavendar Lace, adding smooch and stickles to it.  I did the same for the Baroque Motif part.  I used Denami Design Ribbon and Button and Marvy Punch for the Snowflake...adding lots of stickles to it=)
Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great rest of your weekend!
