Snowflake Penguin

Hi, Yes I'm back with yet another post.  I got into a creative groove yesterday and had sooo much fun!

I have made this card for the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog that's all about SNOW! You got it, snowmen, snowflakes, snow people or just snow!  Since we have lots of it, why not let it inspire instead of tire!  (Yes I am thinking of when it stops and I have to shovel! (with the help of my landlord's quad))
This time I've chosen a cute penguin from Bug-a-Boo Stamps.  I've layed him with lots of blue(can you tell that's my favorite colour?).  The patterned paper is from K & Company and the cardstock from Stampin' Up.  The little sentiment is a Scribbles by Sandy freebie and the snowflakes were a gift.  I put a star brad with the big flakes and rhinestones with the smaller ones.  I just love it when the sun hits the flakes and they sparkle.  Oh, and the little patch of feathered paper is handmade from Thailand.

A Friend in Me

Here is another card I'm posting today, this one of for the challenge over at the Stamping Boutique.  It is a monthly challenge, so it's Holiday/ Winter till the end of December.  I was so sad to hear that Stretch N' Bubbles is closing their digital stamps down.  I hurried over and bought some of my favorites that I didn't already have.  (they have an amazing deal for the entire collection if you're up for that!!!  Here)
This is one of my favorites that I just had to use!  I went for purple for a nice change from winter colours.  I layered her and her little friend on some glittery papers from my stash and popped up the main image.  I added some wonderful lacy white ribbon which I tied in a knot.  Then tied a button on with some embroidery  thread then made a tiny bow.  I added some mini pearls, and the sentiment is from DDH.
Thanks for dropping by!

Happy Snow Family

Hi Everyone! I'm back with another card that I've made.  This time for Dilly Beans Snow Family Challenge.  They provided this amazing snow family, and I couldn't resist joining in!  One more snowman and it could be my family! LOL  Here we are experiencing a wonderful blizzard outside and most of the roads are closed.  I thank the Lord Jesus now that my little boy was sick last night and kept my husband and I both up.  With no sleep my husband stayed home and is safe (he drives for work).
For this card I decided to cut out the adorable snow family and adhere it to some fun snowflake paper by ColorBok.  The sentiment is from DDH and I distressed the cardstock under it just a bit.  The ribbon I added is from Portafolia and I frayed the edges to make it look like the edge of a scarf.  To top it off I filled in the space on the right with some lovely green pearls from Forever in Time.
I pray you are all keeping warm and toasty today! and if you go out in the nippy cold, do wear a lovely scarf!

YeeHaw Cowgirl

Hello Again! This time I have a cute card for the Digi My World Challenge - Anything Goes.  Now what could be easier than that? And also for Seems A Little Sketchy challenge as you can see, just follow the sketch!

I have wanted to create a card for my daughter who is sooooo horse crazy and even though her birthday is afar off, I was inspired.  I tried to stick to the sketch but not perfectly, so I hope it's good enough.
I used Digi My World's YeeHaw Cowgirl digi and paired it with a sentiment from Lil' Inkers.  I added these to some wonderful papers from K & Company and used some Elmer's braiding cord to attach the sentiment. Lastly, I added a button to the corner that I found in my stash.  Now this is a new challenge blog, so do hop over to see what they're all about, you might get hooked on their challenges. Here
Thanks for dropping by and please check back soon for I have some exciting news that I'll be sharing with you.  See you soon!

Best Friend Around

Here I am again!  I could chose what bird image to use, so I made both of them. This card is for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge "to use a bird".  On this card I used the adorable image and sentiment by Stretch N' Bubbles.  I coloured them with markers and inked the edges with some Color Box blue ink.  I then matted it to some textured cardstock from Stampin' Up and some green gingam from my stash.  I then paired some lovely brown ribbons (the ruffled is from Stampin' Up and the satin was a gift) for the trunk.  I needed a finishing touch, so I decided to add some green pearls to the corners.  It's wonderful to have great friends. I thank the Lord Jesus everyday for the wonderful comments that you all leave for me! It is wonderful to have others to share my creations with! HUGS!!!

Music in the Air

Hello everyone, here I have a new card that I've made for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ  Challenge:  Make a card/project that features a bird, such as in the patterned paper, a stamped image, a charm, etc. 

I will also be entering this card in Scrapbook Sisters challenge- anything goes.  I just love this bird image singing away on his branch.  Both the image and the sentiment are from TLC and I added just a touch of colour and some distress ink to them.  I also used a strip of music notes from some digital papers by Lindsay Stamp Stuff available at MyGrafico.  The ribbon is from multicraft imports and the wonderful design paper is from K & Company.  To finish it off I added an old button my mom had given me.  She gave me a bunch of buttons that came from my grandparents estates when they passed away.  Knowing I love buttons, she saved them for me.  Thanks for dropping by, and please come again as I have more posts coming out soon.
