It's Time to Party!

 Hello everyone!  I couldn't resist using this fun, new image from the "priscillastyles" Store to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year.

Are you ready to party?  Then head on over to the end of the year party that Priscilla is hosting on her "priscillastyles" group on CDAC tonight.  The fun begins at 8 PM EST.  Sure hope you can join us for some great prizes, games and freebies.  

I would also like to congratulate and welcome the new members to the "ps" DT.  I can't wait to work with this talented group of women. Thanks so much for stopping by.  Wishing everyone  a very Happy and Healthy New Year!  

Happy Holidays

Hi All!  I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and are enjoying the holidays.  I finally treated myself  to some 'me' time today and hope to catch up with my  blogging buddies over the next few days.  This was the first Christmas that I can remember that I was frantic with last minute cleaning, shopping and cooking until the very last minute before our company arrived; and I hope it never happens again!  My New Year's resolution is definitely going to be "better organization",  and I am also resolving to make Christmas cards throughout the year!  I may feature some type of Christmas post each month as a way to fulfill this resolution.

No, I did not start a new stash of cards for next Christmas.... just sharing a card I made my husband.  It's one of my favorites, probably because I used felt (something I hadn't incorporated on a card in a very long time).  I love the feel of this MFT felt and it cuts like butter.  Also it reminds me of a Christmas stocking I had as a kid... 

The vintage image is one I found on the Cleariy Vintage blog, and I am happy to report that my husband really liked it.  My very best wishes for a very  enjoyable holiday week and a very Heathy, Happy New Year!  Stay warm and drive carefully in all the snow!

Katlyn's First Christmas

Hi all!  Just got this new photo of little Katlyn.  She' s three months old already and is growing like a weed!  Looks like she's all ready for Christmas.  How about you?

Winter Song Birdies

Happy Sunday everyone!  Here's my take on today's Corrosive Challenge #94 -- SketchyTime!  This sketch was perfect for my Doodle Pantry circular sentiment from the Winter Song Birdies Set .  I combined it with the image called Winter Song Birdies -- Color Doves.  While I was at it, I decorated the inside of my card with a sentiment from the Holiday Ants Set.  Below is a photograph:

Talk about quick and easy...  It took me longer to take the photographs.  If you are like me and under the gun trying to madly finish your cards, I highly recommend giving pre-colored images a try.  Hope you have a great week and thanks so much for stopping by.

Christmas Carols

Hi everyone, sorry I've been MIA this week.  I went through my stash of Christmas cards earlier this week, and just about had a panic attack when I discovered I was about twenty cards short.  I did get about 10 cards made over the last couple of days between Christmas shopping, chores and such; and hope to get the rest finished over the weekend.  Although I vowed to make more postage-friendly cards this year, this one had a mind of its own...

 I used a Tim Holtz stamp, added lots of layers and embossing, and finished it with a fun flower I created with punches and dies.   Wonder how much postage this one will take?  

I will be entering this in the Creative Card Crew Challenge -- Anything Goes

Have a great weekend and thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Supplies: Stamp - Tim Holtz Component Collection; Paper - Deja' Views DSP, MM Noel card pad, Jingle Bells Music-Flair Designs, SU! naturals ivory and sage shadow; Ink - Versafine smokey gray; Accessories - Marvy flower punch, Sizzix branch with leaves die, SU! embossing folder, sanding block, deckle scissors, fancy brad and dimensionals from my stash.

Merry Christmas to You

Hi there!   Last week, Laurie, illustrator and owner of the Doodle Pantry, released some wonderful colored sets of  Winter Song Birdies.  Talk about Laurie coming to the rescue.... I needed  to make a card for my teenage nephew, and the pre-colored  "Merry Christmas to you" sentiment ( which is included with all the sets) was perfect!  

This card was a snap to put together, and would be very easy to mass produce.  I kept things very simple and just used papers  from my scrap bin, some dies and 3 'Cloud 9' epoxy dots.  I just need to finish the inside pocket to hold a gift card, and I'm done.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges;

Happy Tuesday, everyone.  Here's my card for the Midnight  Madness Sketch Challenge #81.  For my card today, I wanted to change things up a bit, so I went with a cozy, country Christmas look. I think this look works well with the tree image I used...  It's  from the Christmas Tree Set available from the "priscillastyles Store".  To go with the look, I incorporated some paper piecing into my design.  It's always fun to try something different, and I like how it turned out.  Hope you do too!

MMSC80 -- Christmas Bird

Hi everyone!  Here's my take on this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #80 (MMSC80).  I love this week's sketch; it was so easy to work with and came together just like I envisioned... don't you just love when that happens!  My image is one of my favorites from the "priscllastyles" Store; it's called Christmas Bird.  I added touches of glitter to the snow on the branches and used Spica pens to color the berries and bells.  The ribbon was highlighted with a Sakura clear star pen.  IRL, my card sparkles nicely.  Wish my photo picked up the glitter and shine.

Glad I'm finally up and running, because today is release day at the "priscillastyles" Store, and I get to share a card I made with one of Priscilla's new images called Christmas Ornaments.

Kaitlyn's First Christmas

Happy Saturday everyone!  Hard to believe Halloween is tomorrow... Where did October go?  As all my Halloween cards are done and mailed, I thought I'd share a Christmas card I finished yesterday for new baby, Kaitlyn.  This was a breeze to put together as both the paper and colored images are from the Winterland Set by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff.  I just added some ribbon and punched around the paper.  Doesn't get easier than this!

Watch out for all the ghosts and goblins tomorrow and Happy Halloween wishes to those that celebrate!

Supplies:  Stamps - Winterland by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff available at Mygraficio; Paper: Neenah solar white, blue from Walmart, generic white base, digital DSP - Winterland by Lindsay's Stamp Stuff; Accessories - Spellbinders die, PTI ribbon, small rhinestones, MS border and corner punches, rain dot.

Butterflies in a Row

Hi All!  Here's another card using the "priscillastyles" butterfly image.  I wanted to try something different, so I played around in 'Word' and created a frame to showcase a row of butterflies.  I think it gives the image a whole new look.  Don't you just love what you can do with digis!

Qualifying Challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers:  Digital Plus -- Do something with a digital image other than print and color.

Papertake Weekly Challenge:  Sparkly and Bright -- Lots of glitter on the butterfly wings!

MMSCC77 - Butterfly

Happy Tuesday!  Here's my card for today's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC77).  The sketch this week (which you can find HERE) can be fancy, clean and simple, or somewhere in between.  My lovely butterfly image is from the "priscillastyles" Store.

I used some creative license and turned the sketch on its side.  The four panels surrounding the butterfly started out as 4 plain panels of metallic cardstock -- 2 gold and 2 silver.  I dry embossed the panels with a Sizzix embossing folder;  then rubbed with different shades of metallic rub-on paste and sponged with distressed inks.  All 4 panels were heat embossed with clear embossing powder/dazzling diamonds before they were adhered to the card base.  The butterfly was colored with Copics, pencils and Spica pens before coating with glitter.   The card was finished off with gold metallic stickers and rhinestones.  IRL, the colors of the butterfly match the colors in the 4 panels.  Don't know why I  couldn't get the camera to cooperate... perhaps the shine and sparkle distorted the colors?  

Qualifying Challenges:

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC77) - Sketch

Flutter by Wednesday #127 -- Open Challenge -- anything goes as long as it has a butterfly, fairy, or angel on it.

Birthday Birdie

Good Morning, Everyone!  Today I would like to share a card I made with a new Doodle Pantry image called Birthday Birdie.  It is one of the new releases that  Laurie Wilson is adding to her store today.  I just love this sweet image. 


After coloring my image with Copics, I added a distressed look to the edges by sponging with distress inks and heat embossing with embossing powder.  I also added two coats of Utee to the entire panel... sorta cracked glass without the cracking.  I paired the birdie with an embossed panel of white core, textured cardstock.   Some simple sanding makes the embossing pop. Very easy and fun to do.


Here are all the images and sentiments included with the Birthday Birdie set:

Good Morning  It's time for another Midnight Madness Sketch challenge (MMSC76).  There's a great sketch to play with this week, plus Priscilla is releasing this fabulous new Christmas Stocking image in her "priscillastyles" Store today.  

I colored my image with Copics and Spica pens in tones that match the background paper.  I added Flower Soft to the stocking's cuff and some bling to the greenery.  I finished my design with a poinsettia border, and some crinkle ribbon which I made last week.  Yeah, another Christmas card for my stash!

Candy Corn Ants

Yikes, October is flying by... Thought I better get some Halloween cards made before the holiday passes me by. For this card I used the fun image from the Doodle Pantry called Candy Corn Ants.  My image was colored with Copics and I also went over the yellow and orange sections of the "candy corn" with glaze pens.  The background paper is a piece of "faux leather" cardstock that I have been hoarding for ages.  I also dug into some Halloween embellishments leftover from last Halloween.  It always feels great when I create with supplies I have on hand rather than run out and buy new. Besides my image the only new item is my very vanilla seam binding which I dyed and crinkled.

Challenges i used:

If the shoe fits... Scrap It!: FF#51 Holiday challenge :   Pick a holiday, any holiday and make something!

Stamp Something challenge:  Halloween Somethings theme

MMSC75 - Hat with Cat

Good Morning!  It's time for another Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (MMSC75).  For my card today, I used one of the images from the "priscillastyles"  Halloween Witch Hat with Cat Set (includes 5 images).  After coloring my image with Copics, I heat embossed the hat with clear embossing powder mixed with dazzling diamonds.  The hat's buckle was finished with tiny rhinstones.  IRL, the hat sparkles nicely.

I also used one of the witch hats (included with this set) to create my background paper.   Very fun and easy to do with digital images... Just resize and format your image to your liking as you normally would do.  To create the checkerboard, I copied and pasted the image into a Word document, then hit the tab key and repeated across the page, alternating rows..  Very easy and fun to do!

Christmas Joy

Hi everyone!  Here's a CAS Christmas card that I made using a sentiment from Sugar Creek Hollow called Christmas Joy. The sentiment was punched out using an ornament punch. Next, my ' faux ornament ' was sponged with some rhubarb stalk Memento Ink before heat embossing...
