Book Lover

Creative Knockouts has a brand new challenge for you today.  I am so excited as always to share my latest DT creation for them with you.  We are on Challenge #123 ALL that GLITTERS.  I would like to thank the sponsor this week (SLS Lines Digital Stamps) for letting me color up Book Lover.

It is hard to see all of the glitter that I have going on here but there is alot.  I have dazzling diamonds going around the first oval.  Then a darker silver around the outside.  I also used Wink of Stella on her eye lids, the book pages and on the binding of the book. I love glitter and I tried something new this time.  Doing just the edges.  It was tedious but a lot of fun.  I haven't used actual glitter in a long time. Some paper piercing and texture highlight this image colored with copic markers.

Prize: 3 digis 

Hop on over to Creative Knockouts and see some more wicked inspiration by my fellow DT's. We look forward to seeing you.

Have an amazing day!!

Beach Cat...4 Crafty Chicks & GDT call

Hello, Hello, Hello! Welcome back to my blog this week. My latest creation is for 4 Crafty Chicks. Our hostess this week is our one and only Leanne. For challenge #280 - Tropical is what she would like to see.  We also are holding a Guest Designer Call for the months of February, March and April. If you are interested please add GDT behind your name when entering our challenge.

The temperatures have been dropping here in my new home Wainwright, Alberta and we have gotten a wee bit of snow.  Really can't complain about the weather but it does make one dream of a warm vacation.  My card above is well not as tropical as my teammies but when making it I thought of our trip to Mexico and the beautiful flowers and thought it was paradise.  The cat image is from Inky Impressions and well I just love cats and this is what I would look like on the beach, hence the name Beach Cat. I fussy cut the cat out and popped it up over the glittered flower.

Looking for more inspirations be sure to hop on over to 4 Crafty Chicks our DT will knock your tropical socks off. Don't forget we are having a Guest Designer Call.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sakura Maiden

Good, Good Day!! It is a sunny and beautiful day! Today, I am showing you my first card made in my brand new craft room.  We moved to Wainwright, Alberta during December and it has been crazy.  It has been a blessing this Holiday season as we have had our family around us.  We will being missing family and friends but will always look forward to seeing them and spending quality time together. 

My first card for the new year is for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.  However, we are still looking for stuff and not sure where I put it.  Now comes the challenge of finding a better way to take my pictures so you get to see a better quality picture. We have two brand new sponsors for you this month. We are on Challenge #25 and as always it is easy peasy...ANYTHING GOES. The image I colored with my Copics is called Sakura Maiden and is created by MoonFlower Digital Stamps.  The image is super beautiful and was fun to color.  Thank you so much for letting me use this image to create with.

Let me tell you my brain was a little sluggish while creating but it felt awesome to make a card and color. You can't see it but I used Wink of Stella on the red and white flowers to add pop and it does look gorgeous just wish you can see it.

We also have a crazy egg badge up for grabs to along with our Top Pick.

Wedding

I would like to wish ever on a Happy Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas tomorrow. May this Christmas season bring many blessing big or small to your family and friends.

We have  a brand new challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks and Lori is our hostess this week.  Even though it is a super busy time, if you get some new crafty goodness, I hope you can still share your creativeness with us this week. For challenge #278 Lori would like us to create something to do with a Wedding.  When I was little I dreamed of a winter wedding, a sleigh ride, trees with white lights and a Christmas wedding.  This card popped into my mind.  Hope you like it.

Wishing a season of new memories to cherish.

Snowman/Snowmen

Hi! Thanks for joining me while I share my latest DT creation for 4 Crafty Chicks.  We are so close to Christmas, spending time with family. As I think about when I kids were younger I can remember the snowball fights, snow angels and it was always a blast making snowmen.  It is my turn to host the challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks and I would like to challenge everyone for Challenge #277 to break out their snowman/snowmen creations. A clean and simple creation but I love this image and stamping up creation.

My fellow DT's and GDT have amazing inspiration for you.

It's Snowing

Can you believe that it is only a few more Thursdays until Christmas. Wow this year has been going by so fast. Still looking for presents, not very organized this year :).  One more week and then our daughter is off on Christmas Holidays.

The image in the card above is made by All Dressed Up and they are our sponsor for this week. I colored It's Snowing with Copics and of course just couldn't wait to break out the snowflake embossing folder once again. Boy, I am getting ahead of myself.  My lastest DT creation is for Creative Knockouts and for Challenge #119 Winter Wonderland. My fellow teammates have amazing creations with you.

Prize: 2 Digis

Thank you so much for coming by.  Have an amazing day!!

Happy Holidays

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Over at 4 Crafty Chicks we have a beautiful and fun challenge for you. Our beautiful and not to mention very talented Chick Tina would like us to use Non-Traditional Christmas Colors for Challenge #276. My card above is a clean and simple one, the ribbon from Stampin Up and pattern paper is from Bo Bunny.  The design I had seen is similar to one I seen on pintrest unfortunately I am not sure who the wonderful designer of the card was. I am unable to find it again, if you know please, let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.

Thank you for sharing my latest creation with me.

I would like to thank them so much for letting me use the super cute images to create with. The digi is called Ice Fishing.

Winter

What does Winter mean to you? It means to me lots and lots of snow. Beautiful scenes and sometimes the snowfalls that have the big and fluffy flakes are like being in a snow globe. I like to burn candles at this time of year and sit in front of a fire place. Hot Chocolate also means Winter to me.

We have a new challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks and our beautiful, very talented Leanne is wanting you to create something to do with Winter. We are on Challenge #275 - Winter.

A clean and simple winter card. When I think of Winter I think of big fat snowflakes. Each one so different, it is like being in a snow globe.

Have an amazing week!

Christmas Pixy Two

Hi there! Welcome winter was sure welcomed in this week. High winds, some rain and a good dump of snow.  Monday and Tuesday sure were hunker down and stay in the house if you could days.  The sun should be peaking out today and melting some of the snow.  Be careful friends and family give yourself extra time to get places.

Today, I get to highlight this cute image called Christmas Pixy two and it is by A Day for Daisies. They are our sponsor this week at Creative Knockouts.  Our Challenge for #117 is Festive Fun.

Prize: $12 Gift Certificate

The image above has been colored with Copic markers and the my oval dies are from My Favorite Things. The paper, punch and embossing folder is from Stampin Up! This is my favorite time of year. I love the music, songs, lights and the decorations.

Wishing you all a fantastic day.  Remember my fellow teammies have wonderful inspiration for you over at Creative Knockouts.

News Kid

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends in the U.S.  I am wishing my family, friends and fellow crafter's many new memories with loved ones. Grateful for each and everyone of you.

Don't we all love it when the news tells us about snow? Well I can honestly say this year not me, sometimes I cringe but usually I like to hunker down and get my crafts out and go like mad making stuff.  Our beautiful and talented Lori is our hostess this week at 4 Crafty Chicks.  She would like us for Challenge #274 - Masculine.

I always feel for our news paper kids who walk house to house on those cold days.  My card has a snowflake textured background to add to the image but other than that it is super clean and simple. The image is colored using Copic's. 

Have an amazing week.

Santa Claus is Coming To Town.

Good Morning! What is new this week?  Well we had our first snow fall of the season and some rain that made it slippery but the snow is melting fast.  The wind has been a little bit cooler the last few days. Today is the last day of volleyball for our daughter Kaitlyn. Another season at school will be complete and I am excited to watch the final games.

It is my turn to give the challenge this week at 4 Crafty Chicks.  I love Christmas and Christmas music so for Challenge #273 - Inspired By A Christmas Song.  The song that I used is Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. This stamp is just super adorable :)

Please join us at 4 Crafty Chicks we would love to see your wonderful creations and be sure to stop by and see the incredible inspiration that my fellow Chicks and Guest Designer have for you.

Have an amazing week!
