Good morning!

My week has been super busy as I am

currently staying with Summer and Emery

getting everything set up, which is sooo much fun.

I had a card due for our challenge this week.

It has been many years since a card has not been made in my home.

So many things were forgotten at home but we laughed

and it was amazing how some kitchen tools came in handy for this card.

Halloween Peeker Cat

Good morning everyone!

It is another chilly day here in central Alberta.

It is windy (-9 celcius but feels like -15)

and snowing a little bit.

I am afraid warmer jackets and mitts will be

pulled out. We (my family) are not ready for

the cold weather yet.

Happy Thursday!

Over at Creative Knockouts

we have a brand new challenge for you.

We are on 

Challenge #373

Halloween 

(If that isn't something you celebrate please

use this color combo)

Purple, Black, Orange and Green

Our amazing sponsor this week is 

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize: $12 voucher or approximately 4 images 

Thank you for allowing me to color up

and high light this adorable image called

Halloween Peeker Cat

Halloween is going to be so different for everyone

at our house this year. I am looking forward to

it going back to the old way next year.

Halloween Peeker Cat was colored up

using Copic Markers.

I also used the color combo of 

Purple, green, orange and black

with my card stock.

Gina Marie Designs square die was used

to frame the digital image.

Then I embossed the orange, black and green

paper with stars (embossing folder and papers from Stampin' Up).

The base of my card is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4

It was so much fun coloring up this image.

I love Halloween but this year

am missing all of my mom's fun designs

for her trick or treaters. Her creativity was

simply inspiring and it brought me joy

at her excitement to see the kids

faces at their treat bags or boxes.

Birthday Elephant

Hello! What a fun filled day we are having. Nothing like enjoying time with family and friends at a wedding.  We have been so lucky this year because this is our second wonderful wedding on Rob's side of the family. It just seems as everyone is getting older, with family and their careers, we don't get to see one another as much as we would like. So today we will be grateful and enjoy every minute of it.

We have a brand new challenge for you over at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. For Challenge #43 Anything Goes. For our newest challenge, Bugaboo let me use this super cute and adorable image (Baby Elephant) used on the card above. This card was made for my daughters, friend who absolutely adores elephants. 

My card was colored with Copic markers W1, W3, W5, W7, C00, BG11,BG13, BG15, Y02, Y11, Y15, R35, R37.  I used soft suede ink that I sponged around the edges of the card and the image. The numbers were cut out with number dies from Stampin Up. The ovals were made with punches. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession Rubber Stamps.

Best Buds

Wow already on the 3rd week of February.  I have been working very hard lately on some afghans that are being given as birthday presents to two of my friends. A fitting challenge for this week I think.
