Owl always love you

I have a triple challenge card this morning!! I used the colors from todays inspirationchallenge. I used the blocks as my inspiration since the colors were similar to the bali breeze dp!! I used Jens sfytt as my layout but I flipped it. I used this super cute Treehouse stamps image Owlentine for todays Occ lovey doveychallenge. I love this image and my anniversary is in Feb so this was a perfect time for me to make a card for my hubby!! He loves all my cutesy cards so this TH image would be a great one to use!! I put googlie eyes on the owls so they can make goo goo eyes at each other!LOL!!!

If you havent been to the Treehouse store lately go check it out!! Ashley has been super busy adding all kind of goodies!!! She is also having a 20% sale but it ends tommorrow!!! Have a great day!!

Livin like a rockstar

Todays challenge is winter blues to use mostly blue making a holiday card (any holiday). Well when Jeanne said any holiday I thought this would be a great day to make a card for the DD gallery. This months theme is Obscure holidays. Did you know that Jan 13 is make your dreams come true day? Well this littlel girl from H & M stamps Livin the girls life is making her dreams come true livin like a rockstar!LOL! I used the DD sketchfor my layout.

I watercolored the girl using SU markers but Im not bragging about that!LOL! I havent used the technique in awhile and it seems I've forgotten how to do it!LOL! I colored two images and popped her up. It looks really cute IRL.

Todays the last day of school here and they dont go back to school until Jan 7 so the kids are having their Christmas parties today. They were so excited this morning b/c they have pajama day and are watching Polar Express and having cocoa. Madison also got invited to her first slumber party for tonight. Its all shes talked about this week!LOL! Have a great day!

Quick teacher gift

Todays challenge was perfect for me! thanks Julia!! I had one more teacher gift I needed to make. I already had the card made but I ran out of candles (and so did the dollar store!LOL!) so I went through my stash of things to alter and ran across these big Hershey bars. I made the candy bar slider with the ski slope dp and used the alpine ribbon. Since I didnt decorate the front of the slider I think I will just attach the card to the slider! What do you think?

For the card I used Kim Hughes Ur a hoot! I love this little owl! So very adorable!! I used tulip white puffy paint for his hat. I paired the owl with ski slope dp. The choc chip dp is embossed with the leafy branch ef and sponged the edges. I used my circle nesties for the real red dp. I added silver HH and choc chip taffeta ribbon. Super simple! Im finally finished with my Christmas cards!!! yayyy!! Do you the sad part is I didnt even use 1/2 of my Christmas stamps!LOL!!! Please dont tell my hubby that!! Im off to eat Christmas lunch at school with my kindergartener (is that a word?!!?LOL!). Have a great day!!

Coal again

I just had to make another card for todays sketch! 1 card down 1 to go!LOL! I love this Fluffles image!! Hes so fun and cute!! I used the frosty day dp b/c I like how the dots in the dp matched the ornaments on the garland. I added waterfall stickles to the blue ornaments and diamond stickles to the tangerine tango ornaments. I used the MS snowflake punch for the candle and added waterfall stickles to add some sparkle.

We all had a blast making candy today even though a couple of batches didnt turn out and my Mama tried to give me a heart attack!LOL! J/K Mama!LOL!

Button Bear Wassailing

Are you tired of Christmas cards yet?!?LOL! Im down to 2 Christmas cards before Im finally finished!! I pulled out this retired SU set Button bear for this card. I liked how his bow kinda matched the dp I wanted to use. I colored the bear, hat, and candy cane using gamsol magic. I outlined the bear using copic cool gray no.1 marker. Instead of paper for the tabs I used kraft taffeta ribbon. I added a button b/c I had to!! How can I not use a button on a button bear card?!?!LOL!

This is another teacher card so I made another candle to go with it. Im lovin these candles!! We took the kids last night to do their shopping and it was so cute watching them pick out gifts for us (but of course we couldnt peek!LOL!), each other, and their grandparents. They had a Secret Santa giftshop set up at the school with gifts from $0.50-$10.00 for the kids to shop out but they sold everything by lunch yesterday!LOL! I thought it was a great idea though the teachers helped the kids pick out gifts and they wrapped them at school. We're going to try one more time today to make some candy. The weather is supposed to cooperate today!LOL! Have a great day!

Noel Teacher gift

I spent yesterday working on Teacher gifts since my kids get out of school on Friday for the Christmas holidays. I found these candles at our dollar store on sale for $0.75! They had santas cookies, cinnamon, and christmas holly scents so I got 2 of each since I have 6 teacher gifts to make. This first one is Santas cookies and I paired it with last years Dashing dp. I used the ornmanent from the Noel stamp from Big on Christmas and popped it up.

I made a matching card using Taylors sketch again. I love this sketch so you will be seeing a couple more!LOL! I used the Noel stamp from Big on Christmas and colored with copics. I used the horizontal slot punch and added river rock ds ribbon to the image. I paired the image with the Dashing dp to match the candle and sponged all edges using river rock ink.

We didnt get to make candy yesterday b/c it wasnt the right weather so we are going to try again Wed. The weather has been so crazy lately. It was freezing one week, raining the next and this week it will be in the 70's all week!! It was 78 degrees today!! No wonder everyone around here is sick!LOL! Have a great day!

House Mouse America

Todays featured stamper is Cards by America. Her gallery is full of House mouse images and I have to admit Im not a big fan of the House Mouse images b/c I dont like mice!!LOL! My skin crawls thinking about them!LOL! A friend of mine sent me this image and its just been sitting and sitting waiting to be colored. I finally decided today to pull it out and color it and I have to tell you it was fun to color!! I cased Americas card here. I changed everything on the card but kept them similar. I used Taylors sketch 46 for my layout. I colore the image using gamsol magic and added sakura silver gel pen to the bows for some sparkle. Im not sure what the name of my image is since it was from a friend. Im not even sure if its supposed to be a Christmas image or not!LOL! But it is today!! I made this card for my oldest daughters teacher. I made a candle to match that I will post later.

Im off to go to Mamas where we are going to be making candy today. I love making my Granny's fudge and peanut brittle!! Then I have to work on some more Christmas cards I still need 10!! So except to see more Christmas cards!LOL!!
