Red Pink

Happy Monday!

This week over on the ABC Toys & Crafts Challenge we are focusing on what else but Red, Pink and White Creations~ I feel like I packed alot of stuff onto (into) this card. It was alot of fun to make too. I started with Authentique paper pack and cut out a variety of hearts with MS, Cheery Lynn, and Spellbinders. The pocket is embossed with the music folder- I truly love this folder because it can be whimsical or romantic. I also added some MM glitter flowers and pearls. The sentiment is Crafty Secrets.

Julie has some fabulous challenges coming up and I think that you will all enjoy the prizes! I do hope you will join us! HERE

It is not a SQUARE!

Hello! Boy what a wintery/blustery day it was here in Michigan. We didn't get as much snow as we had thought but it was cold and blowing snow everywhere, so much you didn't know how much was coming down or just being moved around! Phew...... and well, no school on Thursday either. So for those getting pelted,........... stay warm and safe!

And on to my card. Now this card was made with several different challenges in mind. I had my list out and thought - Valentine card. Again! Remember, this is my first year to actually mail out Valentine's! So I use my lacey nestabilities to make the card base and then my circle nesties to do the top layer. A couple punches (heart/branch/circle) and some flower. I should have taken a close up of the flowers because I put clear glittery stickles on them and they are sooo pretty! I love them and think that I will start putting it on all my flowers. You gotta try it, quick and easy to do too!

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Today's card was alot of fun for me to make. ABC's challenge was just that sentiment "Baby it's cold outside" and so I thought about the sentiment and what it would look like to me. And well, this is what I came up with. A snowman standing outside the window looking in. LOL, that makes sense doesn't it? So I picked this beautiful blue color for the main focus and then added a little red to make it pop. I colored the magnolia image with copics and then for the actual windo I used some plastic. I embossed it with a snowflake embossing folder and then I used "snow" substance around the window panes. I tried to capture this in the following photo. The card itself is so pretty but the photo does not do it any justice. One of those cards you go, hm..... "who is good enough to receive this card and will not throw it away" Oh, am I the only one that does that? :) I hope you are all staying warm!

Simple Clean Christmas

So today's card is a little different isn't it? Firstly I used the Pixie Cottage sketch which I did like but struggled with alot. I was not sure where to put my sentiment! But I knew when I started I needed some simple holiday cards so did want to keep it simple. The colors were chosen as I didn't want to use typical traditional holiday colors so I could enter the card into the ABC DT Challenge and the Simon Says challenge. I added a little bling to give it a little umph!

Sweet Pink Snowflakes

I just love the white on white cards with the embossing on them. I just think they look very elegant. So this is one that I had seen some time again- well the layered concept anyways. I embossed the lower layer with snowflakes and then swiss dots on the top layer. Then of course added some of my MS snowflakes (which I love!) Challenges:

Celebrate with a Cupcake or Giftcard!

I had seen this cupcake a couple months ago over on Claudia's blog and thought it was just so sweet but was afraid to give it a try because it looked complicated. But this weekend................ well, as you can see! And surprise- it is a gift card too! Isn't it just the cutest? I am not sure who will get it this year but I think that after all the work, it will need to be someone special. It took me at least 1.5hr to complete this, I know, alittle slow but what can I say?
So here is a close up of the top of the cupcake. When I showed it to my son he said, "Uh, why do you have flowers on the top of your cupcake?" Oh they just don't get it do they? I thought it was so pretty and then I added a little bit of stickles to make it shimmer.


I think that I am going to hide a little Christmas present inside her this year for someone special. Heidi

Hanglar Birthday Boy

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. We have had a pretty laid back one, football, laundry, crafting and then movies. I like those relaxed weekends. This little hanglar boy is one that I colored a couple of weeks ago and decided I needed to get him into a card before I lose him. I decided to do it as an easel card and I made it a 5x5 one instead of the smaller version I was making before, after a couple trial and error attempts! LOL! Well that is about it- have a good one.

Happy Spring Day

Hello everyone! Well today is a fun card that I am using a new stamp that my sweet friend got for me on my birthday (thanks Cindy!).

I colored my image with the copics after stamping with momento tuxedo black. Once again, this is what I find works best with my copics. The designer prints are from a DCWV pack that is full of wonderful spring colors, flowers, bugs and daisies. The name is something like that too! :) The little flower is an MM grommet that I got the pack for 99c at Mike's the other day- I think they are clearancing them out. The sentiment goes in there but I wasn't sure which one to use yet so for now it is the background print.
