Last Christmas project posted for the year....


Wow!! We're almost to the year 2011! Unbelievable!!! So here is one last post showing you one more Christmas card along with a set of to/from tags. For my card, I used #3058 Jolly Tilda from Magnolia-licious along with the presents which are also a Magnolia stamp but I can't find them in stock right now. If you're interested, please be sure and ask Diana about them. Tilda and the presents are colored with Copic markers, and then I fussy cut and popped them up off the card base for lots of dimension.  You might be able to tell a little better with the next pic.



The background papers are from Nitwit Collections, and the cardstock is Bazzill. I know it almost looks black, but it's a dark green color. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used some Angel Wings Shimmerz on them. The bow is made from May Arts silk ribbon of course and I believe the charm is from the Charm Barn.


Here is a set of to/from tags I made using #3070 Sitting Angel Tilda from the Merry Christmas 2010 collection from Magnolia-licious. Again, it doesn't look like she's in stock right now, but please check with Diana if you are interested.  The box is just a standard jewelry box that I decorated to match the tags. That's it for me today. Tomorrow I will have my project for the Magnolia-licious Design Team Sketch Challenge, so I hope you check back for that!

Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for another fabulous year of your friendship! I am truly blessed. Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you in 2011!! Hugs!

Well...things are getting back to normal now....

My daughter and grandson left this morning to go back home. *sigh* We had so much fun and it is really hard to let them go. But such is life I guess, huh? Just wanted to show you his first grade school pictures. This is what has been keeping me busy for the past couple of weeks... Gotta love the "cheesy" grin in the first one! LOL!!


So I'm back to getting some crafting done and will be back to posting again. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish all of you a Happy New Year filled with many, many wonderful blessings! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon!  Hugs!

Papertake Weekly - Anything goes!!!


Happy Holidays, friends!!! It's almost Christmas and I hope you have all your shopping done, and are enjoying your holiday with your friends and family! With it being Tuesday, that means it's time for a new challenge from Papertake Weekly. This week, we're being sponsored by the fabulous Katharina at Whiff of Joy! Since it's so close to Christmas,  the challenge this week is "anything goes". So link away my friends!!   For my creation today, I'm showing you a card I was asked to create for a friend at work using this adorable image, #492 Lion from Magnolia-licious.


He's stamped twice onto Xpress It Blending Card, and then fussy cut once to pop him up from the bottom image. He's colored with Copic markers.  The papers are some I've had for forever in a Debbie Mumm stack, and thought they were perfect for this adorable lion. The heart border was created using a Martha Stewart border punch and the ribbon is from Stamp and Create. I also colored and cut out another image of him to place on the inside of the card.


Please pop over to Papertake Weekly to see the rest of the awesome creations by the fabulously talented design team, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us.

Papertake Weekly - Red and Green must NOT be seen!

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying all the holiday festivities and that you're not stressed out with all the preparations! I'm actually doing pretty well this year. I've decided that I am not going to stress over anything. I'll get done what I can get done, and what will be, will be.  And I'm feeling so much better than  normally do at this time! I'm loving it!  My middle daughter and grandson get here in one week, and I am way beyond ready! We're all soooo excited and can't wait to make Christmas cookies, sing Christmas Carols, watch all the traditional Christmas movies, and everything else! 



With it being Tuesday, it's time for another challenge from Papertake Weekly! This week, Dawny's challenge is to make a holiday card or project, but red and green is not to be seen, and we're sponsored by the fabulous Katharina at Whiff of Joy!  For my card, I used one of the most gorgeous images of Madonna and Child from Peggy Loves Vintage!! It's from one of her newest sets of Christmas cutouts, and it's just so easy to use!! I just printed it out, mounted it on cardstock, and finished up the rest of the card. Sooooo easy!!!


This image evokes the true reason for the season, and I adore it! Please be sure and visit Peggy Loves Vintage if you still have Christmas cards to make! Her images will make quick and easy work of it!  Be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to see the rest of the gorgeous projects from the design team, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us!

Wags 'n Whiskers - Snowflakes


Happy Friday, friends!!! Today over at Wags 'n Whiskers, the new challenge is to use snowflakes on your project. Pretty appropriate for the season!  So I used snowflakes galore, LOL! I immediately thought of this beautiful fairy, Iris. She actually sits on a mushroom and it putting her hand out to touch a hummingbird. But I knew right away I wanted to sit her on, as well as have her touching, a snowflake. So I colored her with Copic markers, cut her out and propped her up on a snowflake strip from a Martha Stewart punch. The individual snowflake that she's touching is also from Martha Stewart covered in Stickles. The snowflake papers are from Nitwit Collections and the cardstock is Bazzill. That gorgeous May Arts silk ribbon is from Stamp and Create.



Please be sure and visit my Diva sisters to see their fabulous creations! And then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us for a chance to win! Visit the Wags 'n Whiskers challenge blog for all the details!



Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Magnolia-licious Design Team Sketch Challenge for December

Hi everyone and welcome to the month of December!!! Can you believe how quick this year is going? It just goes faster and faster every year! Anyway, since it's the first of the month, it's time for a new sketch challenge from the Magnolia-licious Design Team. This month, our challenge was chosen by the fabulous Queen Diana, and she asked us to create a frame using Magnolia stamps and words. Unfortunately, I didn't remember the part about it being Winter or Christmas themed, but I hope it helps that  I used three stamps from the new Merry Christmas 2010 collection.  You can click on the pics to get a better view.


I bought the frame at Michaels and then painted it white using acrylic paint. I then cut the letters out with my Cricut Expression with red Bazzill cardstock with a Black Bazzill cardstock shadow. I used #3070 Sitting Angel Tilda on the left,  #3078 Tilda Wants a Hug on the right, and #3081 Tilda With Hanging Heart for top center.  I think it's quite simple and kind of plain, but I still like the way it looks and think it would make a cute frame to welcome someone into a kitchen or even a shop.  All of the images are currently available right now over at Magnolia-licious!





Please be sure and pop over to Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog to see all the details on how you can enter the challenge for the chance to win a fabulous prize from Magnolia-licious, and to see the GORGEOUS creations the rest of the Design Team came up with! My jaw kept dropping as I looked at each beautiful project! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Papertake Weekly - sketch week!

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I've got to tell you I am sooooo excited!!! I bought tickets for my daughter and grandson to come spend Christmas with us this year. They'll be here for two full weeks and that's the only Christmas present I want! They get here in two weeks and it won't get here fast enough for me.

So anyway, with it being Tuesday, that means it's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week it's sketch week. We're being sponsored by the fabulous Simon Says Stamp!



And here's what I came up with for the sketch



I chose to use #3039 Longing Tilda along with #457 Noel both from the amzing Diana over at Magnolia-licious. They're stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with Copic Sketch markers. I used oval Nesties to cut out the word Noel. Cardstock is Bazzill, PP is Nitwit Collections, and the hearts were cut using my Cricut Expression.



I truly wish I could remember who's blog I recently saw the buttons and attached string on so I could give credit where credit is due. If you know, please email me so I can link to them! The ribbon is May Arts silk from Stamp and Create. That's it for me today! Please be sure and visit Papertake Weekly to see what the rest of the fabulous design team has created, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Peggy Loves Vintage Christmas Cut Outs


Ok, the rush is on! Do you have all your Christmas cards made? Don't panic! With images from Peggy Loves Vintage, you can crank out those cards in no time at all! This precious image is from a set of her Christmas Cut Outs. I simply printed the image, cut it out with my circle Nesties, and popped it up with some dimensional tape. All cardstock is Bazzill and the PP is from Bearly Mine. I machine stitched the large panel, and while I was stitching the smaller panels, I noticed I had ran out of bobbin thread. I didn't want double holes, and it's so hard to get them lined up perfectly again, so I just continued stitching around it with my needle for the holes, and then used a white gel pen for the stitch marks. Not bad, huh?



Added a few Kaiser pearls, some paper lace courtesy of a Martha Stewart punch, and that was it! Please be sure and visit Peggy Loves Vintage to see all the fabulous Christmas images she has available to help you in your quest to get those holiday cards done and in the mail! And don't forget to follow her blog too. She loves to give away free vintage images!! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Wags 'n Whiskers - Wrap it up!!


Hi everyone! For all of my friends that celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I truly hope you had a wonderful holiday with lots of food, friends, and family! And so the hectic shopping season begins! Did you get up in the wee hours of the morning to attend Black Friday events? Not me! I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole! LOL! I like my sleep way too much. If you braved the weather and the crowds, I hope it was well worth your time and effort, and that you found all the deals you were after. 

It's time for a new challenge from Wags 'n Whiskers, and this weeks challenge is hosted by the sweet, wonderful, and extremely talented Nikki!! She is asking us to "wrap it up". So make either a bag, box, or tag.  I worked with one of my favorite images called "Say a Prayer" in both rubber and dgi form! I miniaturized the digital image so she'd fit perfectly on my tag. I love being able to do this!! They're both colored with Copic markers and cut out. The bag was cut using my Cricut Expression and the tag and scalloped edge were cut with Magnolia Doohickey dies.  Please be sure and visit my Design Diva Sisters to see the fabulous creations they came up with for this challenge, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us for a chance to win your own Wags 'n Whiskers image!

Papertake Weekly - Cut it out!


Happy Tuesday everyone! It's time for a new Papertake Weekly challenge, and this week it's "Cut it Out". So you can use your punches, die cuts, or just cut your image out with your scissors! We're being sponsored this week by the fabulous Wendy over at Digital Delights by Louby Loo! I chose to use this absolutely adorable penguin from Kraftin Kimmie called Oliver! I fell head over heels in love with this little guy as soon as I saw him last year and had to have him. Well it just so happens that Kimmie sent me another Oliver stamp in my Guest Design Team package, so some lucky person out there is getting ready to win him! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post before 11:59pm Friday night, November 26th, and I'll pull a lucky winner sometime next weekend!


Oliver is colored with Copic markers and then cut out and popped up for dimension. The hearts were cut from Nesties and the icicle punched border is from  a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is computer generated. I used Bazzill cardstock for the base, Kraft cardstock for matting, and the PP is from Nitwit Collections. The red pearls are Kaiser and the ribbon is May Arts. That's it for me today! Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to see what the rest of the fabulous designers created for your viewing pleasure. And then grab your paper and glue and join us in the challenge! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and for those of you that are in the States, I wish you and yours a Very Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs! Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win Oliver!

Wags 'n Whiskers - Lavender and Lace challenge


Happy Friday! I'm excited about today as I have all of next week off! YAY! The alarm gets turned OFF! LOL! Plus I've come down with some NASTY chest cold and it's knocked me flat on my butt. I'm wiped! I do NOT want to spend my week of vacation being sick, UGH! Ok, enough about my whining self..... So with it being Friday, that means it's time for a new Wags 'n Whiskers challenge. This weeks challenge is from the wonderful and talented Vicky, and she wants to see lavender and lace.  I kind of cheated and used paper lace made with Martha Stewart punches, but it's still lace, right? Anyway, I used this adorable fairy called Hannah. I just love her! She's colored with Copic markers and then cut out and popped up off the front panel.


The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, cardstock is Bazzill, and the PP are all from Pink Petticoat, all three are lavender. I'm not a real purple person, so my choice of colors in Purple Copics is VERY limited (that's an understatement!) So she does't match perfectly, but I still think she's cute!  So hop on over to my Sister Divas and take a peek at the bit of gorgeousness they've created for you today, and then join us in the challenge over at the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge Blog for a chance to win!! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Papertake Weekly - Autumn Nights


We made it through Monday! Just a few more days and I get all of next week off work! You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to that break! So needless to say, I am ready for Friday to be here NOW! LOL!  With it being Tuesday, it's time for a new challenge from Papertake Weekly, and this week we're sponsored by the fabulous Katharina from Whiff of Joy! This weeks challenge is Autum Nights, so use autumn color such as oranges, reds, browns, reds, and greens.


I used this adorable Hanglar that  I've had for a while and never inked up (shame on me!). He's colored with Copic Sketch markers and then cut out with circle and scalloped circle Nesties.  I used some of my new Tim Holtz products such as the leaves cutting die and the ticket stamp. PP is from Nitwit Collections. I totally transformed those hearts! They're Melissa Frances glittery chipboard hearts, but I slathered Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paint all over them and then spritzed them with my Copic ABS with R89. Then I took my embossing gun to them for the nice big cracks.


So that's it for me today! Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the Design Team, and then grab your paper and glue and play along! You might get lucky and win a gorgeous prize from Whiff of Joy!! Thanks for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Magnolia-licious November blog hop - Home Sweet Home!!!


Hi everyone! I sure hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for a brand new week! I did a demo Copic coloring table at our local scrapbook store last night and even got to meet one of our own wonderful  Magnolia-licious members! It was tons of fun!

So now it's time for a new blog hop from the Magnolia-licious Design Team!  If you've arrived here from the ever amazingly talented (and my coloring hero!!) Cheryl, then you're on the right track. If not, you will want to go back to the Magnolia-licious Hightlights Blog so you don't miss any of the fabulous creations!!

This month's theme is "Home Sweet Home"!! How fun is that??!!  I really like cute magnets for the fridge, so that's exactly what I made!!! I stamped some of the new images from the Merry Christmas 2010 collection that is available right now over at Magnolia-licious. I also used one from last year's Christmas stamps, and I even did one from the Yummy For Your Tummy colllection so I wouldn't have to take them all down after Christmas!  I simply colored them with my Copics, cut them out, and then coated them with Mod Podge to protect them. I then cut some magnets and attached them to the back of the image with Scor Tape (that magnet is not going ANYWHERE! Here's some closeups of the magnets.






I just stuck these on my magnetic white board in my scrapping area, and that may very well be where they stay! LOL! I love them!  Here is a list of the Magnolia images I used:


Now before you hop along, be sure to leave a comment on this post before the end of Friday, November 19th Pacific Standard Time.  I will be giving one lucky person a Magnolia stamp of their choice from Magnolia-licious!!  Now it's time to hop along to the fabulously talented Angie to see what gorgeous creation she has to show you!

You’ll meet Miles on Ice, Miles and Winter Friends, Skating Polar Pal, Skiing Miles and Mice Angels! Two of them come with sentiments too!!

I think this is perfect for a couple of ski passes (we're only an hour outside of Tahoe). Miles is colored with Copic markers and then cut out using oval and scalloped oval Nesties.

Wags 'n Whiskers uses acetate and another sneak peek for Kraftin Kimmie


Good morning and happy Friday!! It's time for a brand new challenge from Wags 'n Whiskers. This week our challenge is to use acetate, vellum, or tissue, and it's brought to us by the fabulously talented Diva Tracy. For my card, I chose to work with this adorable image called Sweet Danni and Bella. I just LOVE her! She's colored with Copic markers and then cut out with Nestabilities. The entire card front is acetate.



I cut out the scalloped edge on the inside and the "ho ho ho" with my Cricut Expression. The "ho ho ho" is completely covered in red stickles.  The bow is made from May Arts silk ribbon and a stocking charm is hung from it. Cardstock is Bazzill and the PP is from Bearly Mine.  Please be sure to visit my sister Divas to check out their fabulous creations, and then we'd LOVE it if you'd join our challenge over at the Wags 'n Whiskers challenge blog!! 



**********************************



Are you ready for another fun sneak peek at the new Kraftin Kimmie release? I'm excited to present to you, the adorable Annie the artist! Isn't she just too cute??!! I wanted to draw a big round yellow happy face on the canvas, but didn't trust myself. I didn't want to ruin my colored image. Just call me chicken! LOL! But you should see what some of the fabulous Krafty girls have done with this stamp! I'm telling you, they are amazing!  Anyway, Annie is colored in Copic markers (chalk was used on her cheeks)  and then I added some fun flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts in the corner of the frame that was made with Martha Stewart PAP set.


I really wanted to use some fun, happy colors with this image. The cardstock is Bazzill and the DP is some I've been hoarding since last year from American Crafts. The bow again is made with May Arts silk ribbon and I dangled a fun heart charm from it. that's pretty much it for this one. I left it pretty simple and fun! Please be sure and visit  the Kraftin' Kimmie challenge blog. You will find a list of all the details there!

Are you ready?? It's time for sneak peeks of Kraftin' Kimmie's new release!!!!


Altogether now...."oh what fun it is to ride in a one mouse open sleigh, HEY!"  I'm totally excited as today is the first day of sneak peeks of the new release from Kraftin' Kimmie!!! I'm on top of the world that Kimmie asked me to be a Krafty Guest this month. This adorable stamp that I used for todays sneak peek is called Miles and Winter Friends. Aren't they just too cute??!! They will be available for purchase on Sunday, and the sneak peeks will continue until then!  I colored them with Copics, cut the stamp out with oval Nesties,  and then zig zag stitched around it.  Don't know if you can tell, but it's popped up off the card for dimension. .


The cardstock is Bazzill and the PP and that tree are from Nitwit Collections. The snowflakes were cut from a Cuttlebug die, covered in Stickles, and then popped up for dimension. The bow is made with some gorgeous May Arts silk ribbon which is available at Stamp and Create, and I hung a snowflake charm from it. For the snow, I used Polar White Flower Soft, and for Miles coat, I used white flocking on his furry parts (Marlene - don't EVEN go there!!). This was so much fun! Please be sure and visit Kraftin' Kimmies blog to see the rest of the sneak peaks from the Krafty Girls and other Krafty Guests! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again tomorrow for more sneak peeks of Kraftin Kimmie's new release, plus a brand new challenge from Wags n' Whiskers!! Hugs!
