Snowman LOVE

Hi Everyone!


Hope you are having a nice day. I recently won a challenge over at Cindy's Scraptastic Designs.  The prize was 3 of her fantastic designs.  Well, the digital stamp world is super new to me in fact this is the first time I have ever used one on a card. It certainly is fun! I did purchase a few copics (boy are they pricey) but well worth the price. I have a question for some of you pros out there. When coloring close to the lines my ink tends to bleed through/past is this due to the type of paper? Just wondering. I know I have plenty to learn and shading is a bit harder than I thought, but I just think it's so fun to practice :)
So here is my card using One of Cindy's designs and I'm entering it in a few challenges.

Have a dazzling Holiday

Hi Everyone!


Hope you all had a fabulous Holiday or weekend. Wow, I had my fill of turkey.... we had a great Turkey day and a very nice weekend with family.  My niece was here for a couple days and boy is she just the cutest little girl! She is 5 months already, time is just zooming by!
Well on to my card, now many of you know if you've been following me that I really love high heels. The higher the better....so in my mind the Holiday can not go by without a great pair of heels.  So I just couldn't pass up making a Holiday card without a great pair of shoes Aren't these just sooooo awesome, I really want a pair!! I know I'm nuts, but I would  wear these!

Hi Everyone!

Thanksgiving Treat Bag

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all are enjoying the last of our weekend.  There sure were some fun challenges this week.  I created a project that suits quite a few. This week I created a treat bag. I created my own buttons by wrapping twine in a circle. I used 3 girl jam ribbon and placed it behind the handle just to add a little "something" to the bag! I printed the sentiment placed it on the tag and added a cute border to the bottom of the bag with decorative scissors. Hope you enjoy!

A Candy Apple for you!

Hi Everyone!


Wow! I've been busy working...which is good but I miss my "Me" time.  I have made quite a few projects this past week but I've been getting home after 6:00pm every night and I just don't like how the projects photograph using indoor light. So here is one project made for the CWC Challenge - Fruits, Cornucopia, or Harvest. Now, my boys have been asking me to make homemade candy apples for years for Halloween and every year we get so busy I just go out and buy a few to hand out to their special friends. So this year I thought ok maybe I'll make some cute tags that will encourage me to make them.....but no go. Well here are the cute tags for another batch of store bought candy apples :)

These cards are about 3" x 3".  I welded two apples together using my gypsy and the Cricut Create a Critter Cartridge.  I just hand cut the caramel drip and added glossy accents.

The tag is from TBBM and the mini popsicle sticks I found at Micheal's in the kids arts & crafts section.

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Tea for three!

Hi Everyone!


Hope you all had a nice weekend! We were in San Diego visiting with family! We have a cousin who is playing on a Hockey team in Texas and had a tournament in San Diego this weekend so our whole family went to show our support! I have to say the team is AWESOME! They swept the entire tournament. Go Rhino's 


My little group of friends always celebrate our birthdays with a lunch or dinner, it's just so nice to get together and eat and laugh.  I have a friend who's birthday is December 22nd and it's just so hard to get together around this time so we either do it early or late :( So last night I got this great idea with the help of the Simply Sunday  Challenge over at Getting Cricky. A tea party! I will just be three of us, the other two will be out of town :( So I came up with this shaped teapot card. I didn't want it to be too Christmas themed but still wanted it to be festive. I used some doodlebug paper that I won a while back from Paula at More than Favors, it's so pretty! 


I am entering this in the Simply Sunday Challenge - It's tea time and the Wacky Wednesday Challenge - Buttons, Bling or Brads

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone!


What a beautiful day here in my city! I had some time this morning to create a fun little Holiday card! I recently purchased some Stampin Up stamps from a new bloggy friend Nikki over at Creations by Mommy.  Stop by and see some of her cards, they are just so pretty! I also recently purchased the Cricut Cartridge Jolly Holidays. I couldn't wait to try out both! I really like the cartridge and the stamps are fabulous.  For this card I created my own embellishment which is the snow.  I used cotton balls and clear transparent glitter embossing powder. I also used lots of stickles.  
 Here is the card I created and the challenges I will be entering.
