Fs95 Mike and Ike

Okay so I gave you fair warning you would be seeing more of Mike!LOL!

Congrats to Dawn todays featured stamper. Dawn has a wonderful gallery and is super sweet!! I cased Dawns card here. I love this Mike and Ike image!! I kept Dawns layout b/c I thought it was perfect for this image. I used a snowflake instead of a circle and changed the colors. I colored the image using gamsol magic and added diamond stickles to the snow and snowflake. I used some ribbon from SU theatre ribbon originals. I think its retired but Im not 100% sure.

We didnt get to pull out Christmas decorations yesterday it had rained here all weekend long!! We did go see Bolt yesterday and the kids LOVED it! It was a cute movie! Have a great day!

Frosty Day Snowman

I have a triple card for you this morning. Todays OCC snowman/snowflake challenge. Jens sfytt and todays inspiration. I was insired by the Festive forest wrapping paper it reminded me of the frosty day dp. Im really happy with this card and seem to be back in my stamping "groove"! Yayyy!!

I love this adorable Whipper snapper image fresh snowfall but I love all whipper snapper images!LOL! I colored the snowman using gamsol magic. I added waterfall stickles to parts of the snowman and snow. I used my circle nesties to cut and emboss the circles. The snowman is popped up on dimensionals. This was a really fun sketch to work with! I added a paper pierced frame and ribbon with a pumpkin pie brad from Pink Hedgehog Papercrafts for my embellishments.

We are going to see Bolt today and then pull out our Christmas decorations. Have a great day!!

Tecc44 Wintergreen Mike

I finally got to do Taylors sketch on Friday!! While we were watching movies last night I colored up some images. I love this Whipper snapper image (you will be seeing more of him!LOL!). Mike is sooo cute!! I saw a card Denise made awhile back and had to have this image!LOL! I colored Mike using gamsol magic and outlined him with copic marker bg10 cool shadow. I used my nesties to cut and emboss the circle. I also embossed the dp on this card which is something Ive been wanting to try. I used the snowflake ef. Its hard to see in the pic but its really cute and something I will be doing again!

While shopping with my Mom one day last week I found this Martha Stewart snowflake punch and snow glitter. I love it!! (told u to get some Mama!!) I added some bling to the center of my snowflake. I sponged all the edges with basic gray. I dont know why Ive been on a sponging kick lately! Have a great weekend!

Merry Penguin


Im not so good at the limited supply challenge but I gave it a go today!LOL! I realized after I had finished my card I still cheated!! I was only supposed to use 3 layers! Oops!! Oh well!! Throw me in jail challenge police!LOL!
Todays challenge is to use an animal image (no more than 3 stamps) and you have to use pink in your card. No more than 3 embellishments or 3 layers. I remembered the 3 embellishment, stamps , and pink part! I pulled out my neglected Merry Muffin set. I love this set it has some of my fave Stampendous images and the cutest sentiments in it! I pulled out this fun KI memories dp b/c it has pink to pair with my penguin. I colored the penguin cupcake using gamsol magic and outlined with copic cool gray no.1 marker. I added dew drops and ribbon from Joanns for my embellishments.
Hope yall had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday!! We had a great day!! I even went shopping this morning with Mama something we've never done before and of course she went reluctantly until she found out Staples had a monitor for $100!LOL! Have a great day!

Pour some sugar on me


Sorry...had to do it!LOL! I sang the song the entire time I was making this card! I needed a break from cleaning and cooking so I made another card for the sketch challenge. On this card I used a sneaky peek from Treehouse stamps. Both of the images I used will be released on Friday Nov. 28. We will be having a release party so come join in on the fun!! This is an individual image and also has a sentiment (Sweet as sugar) that is an individual that I used on the inside of the card which I couldnt get a pic of b/c my batteries died. Sorry!! I think thats why my photo is kinda blurry.
Okay so I made this card in under 15 minutes! Yayyy me!!LOL! I colored the sugar bag with copic makers. I also used some kraft prints for the first time on this card. I love them!!! I think the button kinda throws everything off so Ive already taken it off!LOL! But you tell me what you think!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Birthday Heather!!!!


Todays is Heather's (owner of H & M) bday!! All the DT memebers are making her a bday card and we are havinga Bday Blog hop for Heather!! I used todays sketch for my card and a cute set called The Cats meow. I love this fun set! I colored the cat using gamsol magic. The dp I paired with my cat is from Autumn vine I think this design looks like cat paw prints!LOL! To see the other DT memebers creations start hopping....
Have fun hopping!!!

Ellie going really vanilla


Todays colors are going gray, very vanilla, and really rust. I pulled out my scraps of fall flowers dp and found this floral design. I needed an image that I could color gray and I remeberd Ellie!! This is the first time Ive colored her! Isnt she adorable?!?! Thanks Shannah!! For my vanilla I used vanilla bean cs coming soon from Treehouse stamps. I sponged all edges with going gray. My going gray brads are from Pink hedgehog papercrafts. I love em!!! The button is from a pack I got from Walmart and I used some ribbon from Joanns in my button. I wish I would have had a smaller button but this the only size I had left of this color.
Today is one of the days I just about gave up on my card!LOL! Well actually not making the card but trying to load it!! I dont know why but for some reason every pic I took of my card was lopsided!! Well my photo editing program kept freezing up!! So I gave up and Ellie will just be lopsided today!LOL! She looks like shes having one of those days too!LOL!
