Happy Birthday....

Happy Sunday all! Wow it looks like we are going to have another gorgeous day here! I am hoping to spend some time outside today, maybe put some Christmas lights up!
For me, November and December are very busy months, we have so many birthdays coming up, and Christmas on it's way! I had to make four birthday cards so I used one of my favourite stamps from Karen Lockhart! I ran the background of the card thru the cuttlebug and then used my nestabilities to cut the two circles so I could stamp my image on the one and colour with copics to colour my image. I then added just a little glitter to the flowers.
It sure makes me want spring to come early this year!

Skater girl...

Happy Saturday to all..I am so glad that the weekend is here! The sun is actually shinning and the temps are pretty good! So why am I making a wintery card....Well, I fell in love with Victoria Cases stamps for SCACD called skater.
I thought I would try something different.. I used my circle punch to cut the circle in the card stock and then attached a piece of acetate to the back of it and stamped snowflakes all over it to give it that snowglobe look!



Stamps: Victoria Case
Punches: Marvy, Martha Stewart
Snow: Martha Stewart
Copics

Peeking out the window!

I am so sorry about the quality of my picture...I think the pastel colours that I used on my card just washes out the picture, and the weather is not co-operating here! I tried something different ...I stamped my image and then coloured it and then cut it into cubes. I thought it might resemble a window! I have done this once before with my scrapbooking pictures and I really liked the effect it gave!

happy holidays....

Well here it is such a dull overcast day here in Ontario... So what better then to get some things done around the house...and even slip into the craft room and create a card for the
Magnolia-lious site! They have a great sketch to follow this week. I am partial to sketches...this way some of the thinking is done for you!!!! Be sure to hop over and grab the sketch and try your hand at a great challenge.

One of my peeps...keeps telling me..Christine... try to use some embellishments. Now I am such a plain and simple card is the best for me, but no....I have been told embellishments is the way to go! I'm trying...how are the little snowflakes working for embellishments and they are punched out with wonderful already glittered paper from Doodlebug Designs..LOVING THIS PAPER!
Well I hope this works for the challenge !



Have a great Wednesday!

WISH upon a star...

I fell in love with this stamp from Whipper Snapper and could hardly wait to colour her up!
Once again a very simple card...just coloured her up with prisma pencil crayons and just lightly sponged the oval with Versa Magic, wheat!
Was out and about today and it was snowing...yikes Winter is coming!
