1st Christmas Card for 2016

Hi friends, I joined a challenge site for Christmas card making.  It's called: Christmas Card Challenges.  I joined in an effort to get me to make more cards so I won't be pushing in December to get all my cards made, we shall see if this works.  Sounded like a good idea anyway.  So here is the 1st card I made.  Used my Brusho Powders to make the back ground then stamped the different snowflakes all over for the background.  The stamps are from The Ton, I think...as is the sentiment.  Was a very quick card to make and I will probably make a few more like it as I like easy!  
Now for the card:

So we shall see if I am able to keep up, I hope so......

Until next time

Last Minute Holiday Cards

HI everyone.  I made a 3 more quick cards, rec'd some from friends and wanted to send some love back.  The items used to make the cards came from a Deb over at Society of Stampaholics , I won a challenge and the package included a ton of cool goodies to make cards with, Thanks Deborah!  Here are the cards, I made with them all in less than 30 minutes total....... The green and red background on the 1st  card was done with brusho powders on card stock.  Love my brusho powders!  


                Stamps used are from Stamp of Approval set, love these too.

     

        Gold Snowflakes are dies from Stamp of Approval set also.....

OK so that's it for me today.  House cleaning and Pet Sitting are calling my name.  Thanks for popping by and looking.  Have a fabulous day!

Until Next Time

2 last minute cards

Hi I want to share 2 last minute cards I made yesterday.  One is for my Mom, I know I made one already for her, but I gave it to her b/c she was down in the dumps and she loved it.  So made another for her to open on Christmas Morning....And a Sexy Santa one for My Hubby.........

 

 So there you have it....  I found a Sizzix die in my stash that I got at Convention and never even opened it so that's the one I used to make DH's card.   He will be surprised b/c I never make "Sexy" Cards ever!   Hope he likes it....

Well off to finish picking up the house and freshen up the guest room so my Mom can stay with us with her adorable little dog Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day.  Hope every one is having a wonderful Holiday Season.  Hugs and love to all of you!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Until next time

Card for my Mom

Hi just popping in real quick with a card I made for my Mom for Christmas.  I have been so busy with something that I will be telling you all about in 2016.  But had to share this.  The stamps, snowflakes are from Stamp of approval set form Stamp Nation.  And the glittery snowflakes are punches.  Did it in blues cause that's Mom's favorite color........ Hoping she will love it.
Here it is......

 

I am also entering this in the Stamp Nation contest to win Next Months kit free.  Wish me luck! 

Until Nest Time,

2 More Christmas Cards done

Good Morning Peeps.  I was in the mood for Christmas cards and well just plain needed to get started on them for this year.  Also this year I am making a bunch to give to the Nursing Home where my MIL lived for a short time.  Think they would love to receive them.  Any ways, I made 2 cards with the same stamp just used different colors.  I absolutely love this stamp, need to play around with it a bit ans see what else I can come up with, but I thought these where way cute. What you think?

That's all I have for today.  Check back cause I have a bunch more cards to share after I snap some pictures.  Hope everyone is having a nice summer and keeping cool where ever you are.

Until Next time

Happy 4th of July

HAPPY 4TH TO ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

I thought I would share some of my plants that I have been working on growing.  First you have to understand I do not have a green thumb at all.  And we have sun on our back Patio for most of the day.  So I found 2 flowering plants that love hot weather and direct sun light.  I have had them 3 weeks now and wow are they doing well.  I love sitting there and seeing them.  I am trying to grow some herbs to but not having a lot of luck there.  Planted Basil, Rosemary, Oregano and Parsley.  So far only the Parsley has begun to grow and the oregano is just popping up.  Oh well, there's always next season....... Here's some pics to enjoy. Hope everyone has a safe & fun 4th weekend........................................

Until Next Time,

     By Bye

Happy 4th of July 2014 to all!

Challenge cards

Hello all.  Just popping in to share 2 cards.  The first one is from my weekly challenge for  the group I belong to Card Camp.  The challenge was to use black and gold and bling.  And here is what I did. After the fact i thought maybe it had to much, what do you think??

 And now this 2nd card is for a challenge over at Gecko Galz, it's for the November Color Challenge - Fall colors. And it will be going to my parents as their Thanksgiving Card.  I colored the digi image with Copics and the die that is doily like is from Heartfelt Creations and the die that the digi is layered on is from spellbinders.  Added some bling and it was done.  It really says Fall to me........

 

That's it for now .  Thanks so much for popping in and do say hello, I love to hear from everyone!

DT Post for challenge #47- 4th of July

Howdy all and a Happy early 4th of July to you all.  The challenge over at Created with Love this week is "4th of July" where I am on the DT.  Our sponsor this week is Stamp and Doodle and I choose this cute and adorable lil dog image to use from them.  I had a hard time deciding how to use them but after playing around a bit I came up with this card front that I made a stand for and it will be used as a table decoration to celebrate July 4th.  The image is called : "Blowin in the wind".  I am a Pet Sitter so this was natural choice for me.  Hope you like it!

Well that's all I have today.  Now you just need to come join in the fun over at CWLC Blog and you could just be one of the lucky winners, who knows.  Hope to see your creations there.

Until next time

ST. Pat;s Day Fat Card

Hello all you crafty peeps.  I made my 1st Fat Card today.  This is a fat card for a St. Patrick's day, and it's going to my step dad.   I used an freebie image from Robyn's Fetish, she creates some really fun digi stamps. And this leprechaun is one of hers.  I just thought he screamed St. Pats...... and here is the card.

OK, Now I can get on with more Easter Cards.  OHHH and I almost forgot I have to brag a bit (blushing)

my Easter Egg Cards from last week that I made where both feature cards on 2 of the Groups I belong to, WooHoo.....Sorry It's so nice to be recognized for a card.  One is featured on the Card Camp Group Site and the other is on the Outlawz Group.  It sure felt good to see them there today.  OK I'm done bragging on myself, LOL.  Alright stopping with the chatter and time to start thinking about Easter Cards.  I send a lot between family and RAKs for Card making friends so I better get busy......

Until next time

 Happy Card Making

A Card for Mum

Well It's time again for another Challenge over at The Stamping Shack blog, where I am on the Design Team.  This time the theme is "A Card for Mum".  I know your thinking it's early for Mother Day but in the UK Mother's Day is March 10th this year.  So come on over and join in and show us your creative cards for MUM.  I chose the image " Daisy with flowers" from the Oscar and Daisy range and can be purchased over at the stamping shack store.  

I colored my printed digi with Copic markers. I don't know if many of you Spellbinder fans use wax paper with your dies to cut cleanly. Well I do and look at what you can do with the die cut wax paper image, neat right?  The die is called Floral Ovals.  I wanted this card to be very "sparkly", so added tons of bling and I mean tons for me, LOL. Even used bling for her eyes.  The beautiful flowers are from       and I added some white stickles to the inside petals for even more sparkly effects.  I am not the sparkly kind but am learning to like it.  I think this card is really just to adorable!  Not sure who is going to be the lucky recipient yet b/c I have to make 6 mum's day cards for family and friends this year.  But Not bad for the first one, right?

Well that's all is have for today.  Be sure to head over to the Blog and check out all the inspiration form my other talented team mates. Thanks for popping by and visiting.  Leave me some Comment Love if your so inclined.....

More Easter and St. Patrick's Day

Good evening all.  As I promised I am back with two more cards to share.  I made another Easter card and a St.Patrick's day card for my step Dad.  The first card is similar to the other Easter Card but it's just A4 die cut with the grand nestabilities oval and embossed.  Added some orange and green flowers and spellbinder Leaf die cuts.  Used a Fancy Tag die and of course added more bling rhinestone swirls  The Shamrocks card is very basic, just patterned shamrock paper cut slightly smaller than the card base. Added small panel of dark green paper with 2 - 3dimensional shamrocks and a bit of green twine.  Like I said very basic, but suits my needs.  Now here are the cards:

Well that's all I have for you tonight.  But do check back tomorrow morning for another Card for the Challenge that's starting at the Stamping Shack where I am a DT member. 

Until next time,
  Sweet dreams
