"Frosty the Snowman"

Hi Everyone!!

I have my final Christmas card to share to be entered over at The 12 Days of Christmas w/

Catch The Bug Challenge

Today's theme was to use a Christmas Song as your inspiration.

I used Frosty the Snowman and the adorable

Snowman Skates image

This is a very quick and easy card....I colored the image with my copics and then matted it on Scarlet Jewel PTI cardstock.

The sentiment was stamped using Black Memento Ink using Joy's Life~ Wintery Puns stamp set and that too was matted on Scarlet Jewel PTI cardstock.

I ran a piece of black cardstock through my cuttlebug using the snowflake (?) folder

Attached all the layers and TaDa..

A card was born :)

Very simple and very easy.

I have been working on a surprise project that I hope to share really soon with you all.

I am so super excited about how this turned out...

Details up here soon :)

That is all I have for you tonight

I will be back tomorrow!

Have a GREAT night!!

Catch the Bug 12 Days of Christmas~ Day 11 Card

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my Day 11 card with you all for the 12 Days of Christmas over at Catch The Bug

Today's theme was Plaid....

I used the Xmas Brat~ Presents image and paper pieced her outfit with the red plaid DP.

The rest of her was colored with my copics and stickles were added to the whites of her dress and hat for some extra bling :)
I used my favorite crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam in Mistletoe for the gift wrapping and
 My Creative Time~ Build a Banner Die for the tag and All Around Christmas for the sentiment.
After redoing this card 3 times (working on it all day) I think I am finally happy enough to post it.
What do you think?

That is all I have for you tonight....Oh Wait I want to tell you my exciting news.....
I won a bunch of stamps from My Creative Time over at Everyday Cricut!!!
Merry Christmas to me :)

Now that is all I have for tonight!
Have a great one and see you all tomorrow!

 

Deacon Elf~~ Bugaboo's 12 Days of Christmas Day 10

My last post for tonight :)

I finished my card for Bugaboo's 12 Days of Christmas~ Day 10....Yippee I am now caught up and ready for tomorrow's challenge

Day 10  Challenge was to make a Masculine Card

I used Deacon Elf~ Presents and colored him with my copics.

I love the way he turned out all colored in

As for the rest of the card I am not a fan :(

The sentiment is from Joy's Life Wintery Puns set

The twine is from the Twinery in Maraschino

Card stock is from a set that I got at Michael's

The whole card is then matted on a white A2 card.

I'm thinking I may redo this one and make him a tag instead of a card....what do you think?

Anyways I am entering him over at..

It's Your Birthday~ Clean and Simple Card ~Scraplifted Design :0)

Morning Everyone!

I have a Clean and Simple card to share with you.

I was blog hopping this morning and came across a new challenge over at

Catch the Bug

The Challenge was "Summer is for the Birds and the Bees.

I was looking at all the DT projects and let me say they are AWESOME as always and so very inspirational.

I came across Min's at Kaymin Kreations and loved the clean and simple design.

My son has a birthday party on Monday that needed a card so I scrap lifted Min's design and made a birthday card to use for this challenge.

Thanks Min :)

I used Bird Greetings~sweet birdday and colored this adorable bird with my copics

The sentiment is from Fiskar's~Birthday Cheer

Well thanks for stopping by and another thanks to Min for her inspiration :)



Besties Always

Hi everyone!

I have a quick card to share with you...it is past my bedtime so sorry for the shortness :)

I posted yesterday about coloring my own ribbon...well I did it again!

I just LOVE how it turns out and I have a perfect match for my card.

I used Bugaboo's Deacon for this card and colored him with my copics.

I colored the ribbon with the same blue and green as in the digi.

I totally scrap lifted the flower embellishment idea from Tara over at Homemade Happiness~ I won a bunch of them from her not too long ago and fell in love with them. So I found the cuttlebug dies and made some of my own!

The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper~Pinka-licious.

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

Ruby Christmas Tree~Bugaboo Christmas in July Challenge

Hi Bloggers!

It's Christmas in July over at Catch The Bug Challenge Blog and today's challenge was to use the freebie image~ Ruby Christmas Tree. Isn't she a rip!

I colored her with my copics and added some white gel pen doodles....very little just some on the ornaments and her Star..just for alittle extra!

She was put on My Minds Eye~ Sweet Dreams Holiday Avenue paper which I picked up last year and have yet to use.

The sentiment is a CTMH stamp mini that I won a while back and remembered that I had. It is up on a Recollection dimensional sticker, inked with evergreen chalk.

Hope you all like it and I will be back with another Christmas card for tomorrows challenge.

Christmas in July~ Catch the Bug over at Bugaboo Challenges

Hi everyone!

I have been busy practicing my coloring for the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

This week is Christmas in July and since I am a huge Bugaboo Stamp fan I know I wanted to participate.

Here is my first card... This is for the kickoff to the week long challenges

I used this weeks freebie..the super cute bear tag.

And here is my Non-Traditional Christmas Color Card for today's Challenge

This too was another freebie~I believe it was last weeks.

Both cards I colored with my copics.

The tag card, I did alittle paper piecing and added some stickles to the hat.

On the "joy" card I added some snowflake brads up the side.

~Red/White & Blue ~~Whimsical Wednesdays & Catch the Bug Challenge Card

Hi everyone!

I have a card to share today to enter into a few challenges.

Since it is still baseball season at my house~we are just getting into the playoffs~ and the 4th is fast approaching I decided to incorporate the two for this card.

The paper is Bo Bunny~Liberty Fireworks.

Image is Bugaboo Stamps~I love all their stamps and always have such a hard time deciding which to purchase...but I think this one is an all time favorite!

Stars are a border cut from the Stand and Salute Cartridge at 5" I used the inside cut as well and attached a sparkly brad and foam tape to give it some dimension.

Ribbon is American Crafts and I used 3 Candi's in the bottom corner. I just LOVE these embellishments! They have a sparkle to them that the picture does not show to well.

I colored the image with my copics but in a very easy and simple way. I used 2 markers~B26 and R24.

There is not blending or shading...just straight color :)

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Whimsical Wednesdays~Let's Get Patriotic (remember you have 2 weeks to enter)

Catch the Bug Challenge~Red/White/Blue & Ribbon

Hope you like my creation for today...It so makes me think of summer!

Happy Monday Blogging Buddies!
I hope you all had a GREAT Easter...ate too much chocolate and got to spend lots of family time together!

We did here and it was great....my nephew (8months) came over for his first Easter and he had a blast with my two boys (7 and 10 yrs). We gave him his Easter basket and inside was an egg in the shape of a basketball. There was chocolate in it of course but I think that was done not so much for Calab but for my sister :) By the end of the night he was chasing the basketball around the kitchen with my boys and playing hockey with it. It was so cute and such a blast to watch my boys interact with their baby cousin and play so well with him :)

You tend to forget how fast kids grow up and I know every time I look at either one of my boys, like really look at them they change so much :( Well enough of the mushy stuff here is card I made to enter into a few challenges.

This is a Bugaboo Stamp and she is from the Bugaboo Angels series. Isn't she sweet?!?

She was colored with copics in the following colors:

BG70, G24,G40,YG61,Y17,Y21,YR30,BV00,BV02,E33,E35,E37, RV29

Where the rain fell is Glossy Accents to add some more dimensions.

The red/pink polka dot paper is Colorbok and the rainbow paper is a free download from Get Funky!

The sentiment is also from Bugaboo Stamps and the Bugaboo Angels

I added some stitching around the outside and around the sentiment which was punched out using my 2" circle punch.
