Two hats this month!

Good morning. I hope your weekend is treating you well.

Today I have a layout I did for Creatively Yours. I was lucky enough to be the guest sketch designer there this month. So this is my sketch below. Head over to the site to see all the beautiful creations.



And here is what I did:



Materials: Pink Paislee paper, Magistical memories chipboard, glimmer mist, American Craft Thickers, 7 Gypsies stickers, Bazzill flowers.

That's it for today, enjoy your Saturday!

Humble Pie Friday!

TGIF!! Can you believe it's the last Friday in November? I'm really not sure where this month has gone. I felt like the holiday season has just crept up on me.

Today I have my Humble Pie card. This weeks challenge was to do a monochromatic card. Well I decided to go non-traditional and do a brown Christmas card. I was unsure how it would turn out but I'm really happy with the results.



I used Maggie with the string of lights, My Mind's Eye paper, Copic markers and spica pens, Stickles, Prima flowers, Kaiser pearls, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon, Making Memories tiny letters

Well that's it for the week. I hope you have a great weekend and if you are in Canada, enjoy the big football game!

Chistmas card mania!!!

Good morning! It was a busy weekend here. I got to go to the Bloomin Inn this weekend and we had a great time. I made Christmas cards all weekend. I decided on 3 designs and then just mass produced them. I got 41 done. Not bad! So here are a couple I did. I used my new Magnolia stamps that I got from Little Stamp Shoppe. I had resisted getting Magnolias because I didn't need another stamp addiction, LOL. But when I saw these Christmas stamps, I fell in love. I knew I want them for my cards this year. So this is what I came up with:



Materials: Magnolia stamps, My Minds Eye paper, Copic markers, Stickles, Fiskars border punch, Stampin' UP stamp



Materials: Magnolia stamps, Basic Grey paper, Cuttlebug embossing folders, spellbinders, Copic markers, Stickles, Sewing machine, Stampin Up stamps, Fiskars border punch.

Well that's it for today, I'm hoping to get to some baking and maybe a few Christmas gifts. Enjoy your day!

Simple, Special, Stunning!!!

This time it's my turn to do the Simple, Special, Stunning feature at SheetLoad of Cards. Here is the idea, you take the sketch from the November issue of SheetLoad and you make 3 cards. One is simple:


All I did was follow the sketch to the letter and added very little.

The next is stepped up a notch to make it Special:


Here I added some Copic coloring and some sewing

And the last is over the top to make it Stunning:


And to make this stunning I hand cut the "Santas" out and popped them up. I added Stickles to the image and more embellishments. I also use transparency as my card base.

I hope you enjoyed a look at Simple, Special, Stunning. Have a great Saturday and see you soon!

It's Humble Pie Friday!

TGIF!! It's Friday again and that means a new challenge at the Humble Pie blog. This week the challenge was to make an altered item. If you don't have Humble Pie stamps, that's ok you can still play along.

What I did for the challenge was to make a little tag journaling book for the upcoming Christmas holidays. Now I'm all set to write down all the little fun things that happen in the next few weeks.



Materials: Humble Pie stamps (Maggie with the Christmas lights), Page Frames acrylic tag booklet, Copic Markers and Spica pens, Little Yellow Bicycle Letter stickers, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon, Making Memories Epoxy stickers, My Mind's Eye paper, Maya Road sheers.

Also Phebe at the Town Scrapper is having a sale. Buy 1 item and get 2nd of equal or lesser value for 50% off. Sale is on until the middle of January 2010. And note that Phebe's store will be closed from Dec. 11 to 21.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

The Ribbon tree

Good morning! It's a windy day here. I can hear it beating the house right now. Hope your weather is good today, where ever you are.

Today I have a ribbon tree to share with you. You can find the tutorial I posted on the Savvy'n'Sassy blog here. This is a super easy project, a bit time consuming but I love the end product. I bought my Styrofoam tree at Michaels. You can get all different sizes. And all the ribbon is from Savvy'n'Sassy.



I still need a topper for it. I haven't decided what to use yet.

That's it for today. Have a good one!

Sketch #25 from Creatively Yours

Good morning. Another busy week is getting under way here. Lots to do, and so little time, LOL.

Today I have a tag sketch from Ali at Creatively Yours. I'm well into Christmas mode, so I made a Christmas tag to use with gifts this year:




Materials: My Mind's Eye paper, Whipper Snapper Stamps, Humble Pie stamps, Copic markers and spica pens, Spellbinders, Cuttlebug dies, Kaiser Pearls and Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon.

Hope you have a lovely Monday, I'll be back here and there throughout the week.

Humble Pie Friday!

It's Humble Pie Friday again!! Today we have a great sketch for our challenge. This was loads of fun to do. You must check out these stamps, they are super cute. The Christmas line is awesome. Today I used the Tree and the presents from the new stamps for my card. They are colored with Copics markers and spica markers and Stickles. I love the way it turned out.






If you do a card, make sure to link it to the Humble Pie blog for your chance to win. You don't need Humble Pie stamps to play along, but if you win you will get to try out some of these awesome stamps.

That's it for today. Have a great weekend. I'm hoping to be back on Sunday with my tutorial for Savvy'n'Sassy.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Well I'm in full blown Christmas card making mode. I have lots to make and now it's crunch time. So here are some. I used the Savvy'n'Sassy November ribbon kit. This is yummy. This color is awesome, it goes with so many of the new and old Christmas papers out there. I did a bunch of cards but here are a few:






Well that's it for today. Quick post, the boys are off today. And we have a fun day planned.
