Another snowy day...

This is me looking out my window today!LOL We have lots and lots of snow! It sure looks like it is going to be a white Christmas after all. My son has left for Cuba with my dad for a week. A wonderful birthday present for him. Today is his 14th birthday! Lucky him, he gets to look at white sandy beaches and I get to look at white snow!

I had this image from Elzybells that I coloured with prismas pencil crayons. I added a little bit of glitter for the snow. Have a wonderful day, and keep warm!

Indulgence....

Happy Saturday to all...
I am so sorry for the lack of posts this week. I have been making a quilt for my daughters 16th
birthday which is Tuesday, and it is taking up so much of my card making time! Why I always seem to leave things until the last minute I am not to sure. I think I work better with a deadline!
For my card today I pulled out some of my favourite Elzybells stamps. I love to bake and this just reminds me of the goodies that you can make! Does anyone have a favourite recipe? Please share!!!! I love a good ol family recipe!

Here is one of my favourite recipes for Chocolate Chip Cookies!
2 1/4 cups flour 1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt 1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 large eggs
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375
COMBINE flour, baking soda, salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla
in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time. Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop onto baking sheet.

BAKE for 9-11 minutes!!!!

Well I am off for an all day hockey tournament for my son! Have a fantastic Saturday!

Happy Birthday to Hubby...

Today is my hubby's birthday so last night I put together a card for him. Poor guy..he has to put up with me not being able to make anything but cute! I used this Elzybells image and coloured with Lyras and Primas. I tried to make the couch look like plaid using the pencil crayons..I think it turned out ok. Now this is not typical of my husband to be reading and falling asleep on the recliner...he works sometimes 7 days a week and sometimes I think he should just take a nice needed break! Very deserving he is of that! So Happy Birthday Bruce and I hope you have a great day! I'm off to make Chocolate Cake...now this is not a request from the hubster but from my son! Good choice bud!

...the stockings were hung...

I am so glad it's Saturday, yeh, I look so forward to the weekends! I am sure you all do as well!
This morning I got up really early to make my first Christmas card! I have 50 or so more to do! But at least it is a start! I pulled out my Elzybells stamp from last year that I never coloured yet, so I was so excited to get the prismas out and yes...the GLITTER! If I can put glitter on a card, let's just say look out! I find that my pictures just don't show well as to how much glitter I put on my cards! I stitched up my card as well and popped up the sentiment. A rather simple card, but I really like simplicity when making alot of cards!



I really hope that when you look out your window today you don't have any snow yet! This image is reserved only for Christmas morning! LOL!

Just a note..

Happy Sunday Everyone...the weather is still not cooperating here, just gloomy and rainy! Last year at this time we were still wearing shorts it was so nice! Only in Ontario do you get this kind of unpredictable weather. This is probaly why I am making so many winter cards...I know what is coming. "WINTER". This card was made with one of my Elzybells stamps from last year. I coloured her with copics and added the liquid applique around her coat and the top of her hat. I added a little around her to make it look like snow falling.
Well, I am off to check out Stamptaculars challenge and see what I can come up with for that!
Have a great day!

From me to ewe....

Another beauty September day here in Ontario!
For this card I chose an elzybells image that I actually masked. I had one image of the sheep and I wanted to have two of these little guys. I coloured with prismas and ran my flower embossed template thru the cuttlebug. I bought this handy dandy punch from Stampin Up' that is just a perfect size to run ribbon thru it! Now I am off to see what is happening at the
Cute Card Thursday Challenge for this week! Have a fantastic day!
