Snow People 2010

I really love Snow!!!
Being from the south we don't get a lot of snow at one time. But this year, the day after Christmas, we finally got SNOW. We have made snow cream, had snow ball fights, took plenty of pictures and build snow people.

This is my husband Jerry, we enjoy playing in the snow. But while he was playing in the snow he lost a cell phone. Which he found a couple of days later...his 4x4 truck tire was on top of it. And the thing still works. Hope everybody that got snow this week took a minute to enjoy and be a kid again. In closing here are some snow pictures

Thank you for visiting and Have a very Happy and Safe New Year 2011.

Get Well Soon

I am trying to get back in the groove of carding. I had a great vacation in Dover and Atlantic City for some much needed relaxation with my wonderful Husband. He even treated me to a spa treatment at Dover Downs Toppers, my first but not my last...I had a massage and a facial. Now I am refreshed and ready to make cards. Last week a friend and I went card supply shopping because I had a lot of lost time to make up for and boy did I make up for it. So now it is time to do what I enjoy. This card is for all whom has had this awful cold, sinus, allergy mess that has been going around. I got the mess just a few days before I left to go to Atlantic City, but I still managed to have fun. I just lost most of my appetite, that was no fun, with all the different foods to try ah well I will just have to go again...I will force my self hehehhe.
This is Tilda in the rain colored with Prisma Colors and OMS. I used my design runner for the sentiment, this is a great gadget, also very handy.

Bizzy Becs Creatalicious Challenge #6

Bizzy Becs had a different type of challenge this month. No stamped images, you can stamp sentiments and use punches, diecuts and stickers (anything as long as it is not a stamped image or a digi image). The DT did a wonderful job with their cards, very creative. I used my craft robo to cut the heart and heart florish, embossed the heart with the cuttlebug. Used Martha Steward punch for the hearts along the edge. The heart ribbon was from my stock pile.

Paper Sundaes Challenge #1

I picked this sweet little Tilda to use for this challenge over at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog This is their first Challenge so I had to give it whirl. It is a challenge to make a card with this sketch:

Mojo Monday Week 122

Good Evening, I have completed another card for another challenge this week. Yes I am on a roll, I have missed making cards and blogging, now I am back. I have done a Blog Hop this week over at Fred She Said Challenge Blog, this was the first blog hop I have done. It was a lot fun and saw a lot of wonderful and awesome cards. So if you want to have some fun, check out Fred She Said and do some hopping. Also check out the new Fred She Said Challenge Blog a new challenge the last Monday of each month.

This is the card I made for Mojo Monday Sketch Blog. I really enjoy sketches the best, everything flows when I am trying to match.

The stamp I used was from House Mouse of course "Everthing is coming up roses", used Prisma colors and OMS. I just love the little mice they are so cute and fun to color. I used paper from K&Company Sweet Talk.

Here is the Sketch we had to follow:

Flutter by Wednesday Challenge

I am Using this card in the Flutter by Wednesday Challenge #93 , this weeks challenge is to use embossing--any kind--with your butterfly, fairy or angel! I used a House Mouse Stamp "Take Time to Smell the Flowers" I colored with Prisma and OMS. The paper is from K & Company - Sweet Talk. The little butterfly I also colored with Prismas and added a little sparkle with diamond dust from SU. I embossed the flap with swirls using the cuttlebug.

I designed this card a little different from most. The flap flips up to reveal the message.

Fun with an Easel

I have seen several of these easel cards so I had to give it a try. You can find a tutorial over at Splitcoaststampers. They are alot of fun to make and very easy to assemble. I used a sweet Tilda for this card, I colored her with Prisma and OMS. Also I added a little touch of stickels to her wing, just a sparkle to her cheek and the center of the rose. The papers I used were from several Basic Grey packs. I used my craft robo to cut out the heart flowers and the corner embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by please leave a comment.

Love is in the air!!!

Valentine Day is just around the corner, so I got an early start on my cards. I am having a great time with the 3D cards I had to do another. This little guy is a Happy Hoppers from House Mouse Designs. This is "Love Bunny" with Itty Bit and Hop it, I used Pisma color and OMS to color this design. The paper I used for the Background was Bittersweet from Basic Grey. I just love this Martha Steward Heart punch, then I used Diamond Dust from Stampin up for an added touch. I also used the cuttlebug for the embossing of the heart background paper. This card was alot of fun to make, by using the pop dots it gives dimension to the card.
Thank you for dropping by will be bring some more new designs soon.

"Let It Snow"

I have been away from blogging for quit a while now. I am ready to get back into the swing of it again. I had not been making any cards for a while due to a knee replacement. I have missed seeing what everybody had been creating but this week I have been checking some of you out. The cards I have seen are just so beautiful and creative, thank you all for sharing your creative ideas with the rest of the world. So I got my creative juices flowing so today I created a new card.
With winter knocking at our door, I hope for some real snow. So I created a card with snow...

I did not have snow to build a snow person, so I did the next best thing, I used paper and stamps. I did a 3D effect with puff dots and layered the paper. I used my cuttlebug and spellbinder dies to cut out the center. The snowflake embossing was a cuttlebug embossing folder. Shy Bear is hiding behind a snowman, I used prisma color pencils to color the image. The little snow person was from a Stampin up set I have had for a while. The snowflakes were punch with the Martha Steward snowflake punch it makes the perfect snowflake. The Let it Snow ribbon is some I bought at Target for half price. I really like a bargin.
I hope to be posting more often now. Thank you for visiting.
