Humble Pie Friday!

TGIF! Today is a big day here. My little guy is getting a leadership award at school this afternoon and he has no idea. I can't wait to see the look on his face when they call him up.

On to the Humble Pie challenge. This week was to use only ONE type of embellishment. You could use as many as you like of it but it's only one. So I used flowers with Flower Maggie, who is my favorite Humble Pie stamp.



Well that's it for today, I'm going to spend the weekend cheering on our Canadian athletes. Have a wonderful weekend

Humble Pie Friday!

GO CANADA GO!!! THE OLYMPICS BEGIN TODAY!!!

I'll be cheering on Canada for the next 2 weeks. I'm an Olympics junkie! Must be the Greek in me ;).

On to the scrappy stuff. Today I have my challenge from Humble Pie to share with you. It was to use Spellbinders on your card. Well...seeing as I LOVE Spellbinders this was a super easy challenge for me. I used a labels one and the butterfly on on this card:



Well that's it for today, I'm spending the day with my littlest while my DH and oldest are out skiing. We are having quality time together. Have a great weekend.

Today it's Humble pie Friday again. I have the latest challenge from the Humble Pie blog. This week it's all about flowers. You must use at least FIVE flowers on your card and patterned paper doesn't count. I layered mine to make a spot for Maggie to sit on. I used some Bo Bunny paper, Prima and Bazzill flowers, and I colored her with my Copics

It's all about the bling!

TGIF!! This week has been not fun at our house, I'm so thankful it's the weekend.

Here we are again! Another Humble Pie Friday.

Today the challenge is Fancy Flourishes. Use stamps, rub ons, paper piercing, bling, chipboard, or anything at ALL to produce some fabulous fancy flourish embellishments.

Here is what I came up with. I used some felt that I had and cut it to fit my card.



Make sure to check out the Humble Pie blog to see all the great DT creations.

I'm off for the day. Have a great weekend.

A little tutorial

Good morning! I know I've been MIA. But I still have little boys off from school. They go back tomorrow. It's been fun having them home. Yesterday we got to go and see "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". Super cute movie, we highly recommend it.

On to some scrappy stuff. I did this pocket card for the Humble Pie tutorial this week. If you want the instructions you can go here. It's really easy and makes a great card.

I used Blueberry Tilda (Magnolia). I got her from Phebe at the Town Scrapper. She has a bunch of Magnolia stamps. They are turning into my new favorite. I think because they are fun to color and I love my Copics right now.




Well that's it for today. I'll be back tomorrow. I've been struggling with my one little word for 2010. I did this last year following Ali Edwards lead. I choose perseverance for last year. I've narrowed it down for 2 for this year and I'll post about it tomorrow.

Have a great day!

Happy New Year!!

Good morning! I hope you all had a safe New Year's Eve.

It's hard to believe we are entering the second decade of the 21st century. When I look back over the last 10 years I can't believe all the changes. We have been very blessed in our family for the most part. It's been a busy year and I expect 2010 to be even busier. I can't wait to see what it will bring.

Now on to the scrappy stuff. Today a new challenge is up on the Humble Pie blog. The challenge was to use black, white and one other color. I went with blue and made a winter card.



Well that's it for today. I'm trying to catch up now that the holidays are over. I still have little boys home until Thursday so I'll be spending time with them. Have a great weekend!!

Humble Pie Friday!

It's the last Humble Pie Friday. This week the challenge is to make a tag or bookmark. I can always use tags for the holiday season. So here is my take:



Materials: Humble Pie stamps (Christmas Maggie), My Mind's Eye paper, Stickles, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon, Spellbinders, Copic markers, Making Memories Epoxy Stickers.

Well that is it for today. This is my last post until after the holiday season. I hope you have a great holiday season and see you in 2010. Blessings!!

Humble Pie Friday!

Good morning! Only 2 weeks to go until the big day. Are you ready? I'm doing not bad, after this crazy weekend coming up I can relax and have fun.

It's Humble Pie Friday. This weeks challenge is embossing. I chose to go with dry embossing. I used it on the white cardstock behind my snowman (isn't he the cutest!).



Materials: Humble Pie stamps, Cuttlebug embossing template, Spellbinders, SEI Paper, Kaiser pearls, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon, Smooch, Copics.

Make sure to stop by the blog to see all the great creations of the other talented ladies. And make sure to link your project to the blog to win, you don't need Humble pie stamps to play along.

Humble Pie Friday!

TGIF!! It's "tree" day at our house. The Christmas season has arrived here.

Today I have my Humble Pie Challenge. It's a fun one. You need to head over to Kim's blog and pick a card and "lift" it. She has so many cards that are gorgeous it was hard to choose, but I chose the one from this post. I really liked the idea of this house card. I thought it was super cute. Here is my take:



Well that's it for today, a quick post. Have a great weekend!

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!

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.
