A Sunday 2fer

I was in a Christmas kinda mood today...obviously! I wanted to do the Pollycraft Monday Challenge , so I thought I best do it today before it expired...LOL! It was to use 2 of 5 S's...I used ALL 5!! There are snowflakes, sparkle, stripes, spots, and swirls! I just love this image, too...

This one also follows another challenge, the Stamping 411 Challenge, which was a sketch. Lastly, I used the color combo from Paper Make Up -ruby, olive and chocolate.

I will try to get a better picture tomorrow if there is some sunlight. You can't see the sparkle completely, and it is important...LOL!
Thanks for stopping by...have a wonderful Monday!

ATC Grows Into A Card

Last week while I was home, I did some ATCs. This is one I thought turned out kinda cute, so today I decided to make her into a Christmas card and use a few of this weeks Challenges. I used the sketch at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards. It was perfect for an ATC as the main image! I also went with the ABC Challenge, which this week is Embossing. Got out the trusty Cuttlebug and voila...embossing! The next one this qualifies for is Die Cut Dreams Challenge, which is to use ribbon or trim. LOTS of ribbon there!

Lastly, the Tilda is done in 3D, so it qualifies for the Pile It On Challenge today.

I have a couple other things in the fire today, so though, I missed World Card Day yesterday due to some family issues, I am making up for it today! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a WONDERFUL day!

Happy Fall, Ya'll

Well, it has been a while since I have created, but I HAD to do something today! I was getting antsy, to say the least!

I have been home all week, trying to get this leg to heal! ARRGH....it is better, and I AM going back to work Monday. I need my life back!

Anyhoooo- This card was made for the Digital Tuesday Challenge, which was to use falling leaves. The Sponsor this week is McMahon5Designs, but I couldn't wait to see if I won this digi-stamp, so I went and bought it...LOL! I also was able to fit this into the Dare U-2 Digi Challenge, using dies or punches. Lastly, this card qualifies for the All Sorts Challenge to be inspired by Autumn! I got a new set of Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils for my birthday, so I used them to color the image. I couldn't find any PP I liked, so I made the Polished Stone to match the color scheme. It sure felt good to make something....

I have a couple other things I am working on, so I will be back later! Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT DAY!

Tilda Time

I had this little Tilda colored up, so I thought I would make her into a card. I loved the sketch at Sketch Saturday last week, so I decided to use it. My Mojo has had the week off, so I needed something to give it a boost. I just adore my Tildas, and even though I only have a few, I tend to use them alot! I promise, this weekend, I will use something OTHER than Tildas...LOL!

It is past my bedtime, but I wanted to post something since I haven't for so long! I hope everyone is doing great and has a wonderful Friday! See you tomorrow~ Thanks for stopping by!

Yup, one year ago today, I delved into Blogland! It has been so much fun, and I have "met" so many wonderful, talented people! I am gonna give away some blog candy...nothing special, but hopefully, you will all think they are goodies! I have tried to include a few cool things ...Stampin' Up Stamps, TAC Stamps, ribbon, chipboard....and will also throw in some stamped Magnolia images on quarter sheets. EDITED: I took another picture, but we have storms today( yes, I am home sick with the flu this week...arrgh!) so I hope you can see the goods better!

All you need to do is link my candy on your blog, if you have one, ( if you don't, no problem, just let others know to come join!), become a follower, and leave me a comment! Easy Peasy! My Birthday is next month, but I am not that patient, so I will close the candy on Sept. 10 and draw on Sept. 11-my parent's 44th Anniversary.

Frosty Wonderland

A friend introduced me to a new challenge blog a couple days ago, Winter Wonderland. The challenge this week is to make a card with a Snowman...I love snowmen so this was SIMPLE!

I used one of Dustin Pike's Snowmen-he is just so cute and happy! He is colored with watercolors and cute with Nesties. I cut the Snowflakes with the Silhouette, and I just LOVE them! I covered them with glitter...I hope you all like them, as you are gonna see alot of them on my Christmas cards this year...LOL! The sentiment I just wrote....WOW that Nestie is SMALL. This started as the sketch on the blog, but kinda morphed into what it is now. The sketch wasn't mandatory, whew! Well, chalk it up to one more Christmas card made for 2009...YAY! Thanks to all for stopping by, and have a FABBY FRIDAY!!
