Hey there again, still enjoying the lazy weekend. Not going to let myself talk myself into Christmas decorating. Not gonna!
I am going to show you some sneaks to the upcoming December SheetLoad of Card E-Zine. You will find a link to download your copy here on my blog on Tuesday with an important announcement to follow. Be sure you come and grab it.
For today, I'll share these....
Enjoy your Saturday!
Happy Friday everyone. Hope that you that celebrated Thanksgiving didn't eat too much. I did....and it wasn't pretty! *wink* It was a great day.
And today was too. My mom, my SIL and McKinley and I went shopping and I forgot to post my Humble Pie Challenge card. Oops! It was a fun day tho, so worth the wait for ya!
The challenge that the Humble Pie Bakers cooked up was for a monochromatic card. I just happened to have some SU Blue papers out and grabbed this cute Maggie image to play with.
I colored her with my Copics in blues and grays. The DP is SU Prestwick and the cs is all Bazzill that I had...I don't know the names of the colors. I've also had these blue flowers forever, and stuck them on with black American Crafts brads.
Make sure that you look at the Humble Pie Blog and the other bakers today. Play along for your chance to win!
Now, we are going to enjoy the rest of the weekend. Nothing left to do but enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.
Happy Sweet Sketch Wednesday!
Are you testing out your *fat pants* for tomorrow's feast? YUM! Lots of family coming in for the weekend, so I can't wait to enjoy!
Today I have a SSW Sketch AND it's a Color Challenge.
The Colors are Gable Green, Pink Passion, Lovely Lilac and Tempting Turquise, or similiar. OR you can use fall colors.
I choose to go with these colors since I had some fun papers that matched nicely.
The image is from our sponsor, Inktegrity, and is so cute!! The sentiment is from Sweet N Sassy Stamps. The pretty paper is My Minds Eye, Penny Lane papers. I also added some green grosgrain ribbon, and then tied my buttons on with twine. I cut the main image out with my Nesties and embossed it as well.
Have a safe and fabulous Turkey Day tomorrow! I'll be back on Friday!!
Does that make you think of the Beach Boys Let's Go Surfin' Now! It is not quite sled weather and I am OK with that. After 3 full months of snow last winter, we can surely hold off. I am slowing getting into the holiday spirit without snow.
Well, the craft fair is over with. It was successful, I had a few return customers from last year. I cleared out most of my cards, and all but 2 of my notebooks. I forgot to count before hand, then didn't keep that great of track as I sold them. And I forgot my camera. But it was a good day, and I'm happy with the results. Now, I have some none crafty things I need to focus on this week. I'll be pre-posting my SSW, and my Humble Pie challenge this week, so I won't be sharing anything else this week.
Today I have a Dog Gone Stamps card for you.
This guyis having so much fun on this sled. It makes me happy to know we will get to do this soon, but no hurry. I colored him with Copics on Papertrey Ink's white paper. The DP is from SEI and Heidi Grace Designs. The buttons are PTI too, and tied with some twine I got at a fabric shop. The sentiment is CTMH and I borrowed from Ashley so I don't know the name. Sorry!
My ippity stamps should be here today, so make sure you check out my ippity page to order. I'll try and post some samples there this week, if I get to it. (Who am I kidding, I'll have them inked up before Mr. Brown leaves the yard!!)
Have a great day everyone!! Stay warm, and prepare your bellies for Thursday!
Happy Friday. I am going to be more excited for Sunday this weekend, when I can sleep in and my Craft Fair is over. Tomorrow is the day, and I think I am almost ready. Going to get my envelopes today and get cards packages. I'll share pics on Monday.
Today the Humble Pie Bakers have a recipe for altered items. I'm a sucker for anything alterable, and I had a basket of white gift bags to use up.
I used some older SU DSP for the base of the bag, and then on the strip. I matted the strip with Chocolate Chip cs and used my scallop punch on the bottom.
The image is a new Humble Pie image released last week. Then I popped the prenst up on him. I kept with the scallops on the bottom of the tag and more of the old SU paper. To top it off, I used some organdy brown ribbon, and added some twine to a PTI button.
Make sure that you stop at the Humble Pie blog to see what the other bakers have cooked up. You do not need to use Humble Pie stamps if you don't have them. It is my understanding that you need to email Phebe to place you order. You can find details HERE on her blog. She is hosting a sale, when you buy one item at regular price, get the 2nd item 50% off.
Last night we also had our Stampin' Up! meeting, and I wanted to shout out to my friends there. We tend to get crazier and crazier each month that we meet!! I love that!! ♥
Have a great weekend!!
Time for a Sweet Sketch Wednesday!!
Hi there everyone! Enjoyed my trip to Havre yesterday, got some goods to play with, as well and rations for the family. Now to tackle this day and all it holds!
Time for a sketch, which is sponsored by Digi Stamp Boutique. Please play along with the SSW Blog for your chance to win your own DSB stamps. They are super cute!!
This is Becky at Christmas, colored with Copics, and added to this beautiful wintery paper to make a beautiful card. The printed word paper is Heidi Grace Designs, and the lined paper is SEI. The buttons are from PTI Holiday Sampler. The ribbon was something I got at Girls Night Out.
I also made another card because I was messed up on the dates.
I made this one awhile back using some SU papers and Cosmo Cricket papers, as well as my SU set Wanted. Of course I used some fabulous bling on their to look like a belt buckle. I have more cards like this that I'll show you at the end of the month, and explain why then.
That is all for me, I have a long boring To Do list to finish up for tonight and then this weekend. Blah, tired already! Gonna enjoy my coffee, stalk the SSW girls' and then get to work! Enjoy your day!!
Hi ya Peeps... These Whimsie Doodles stamps are so funny! I knew that I needed them images as soon as I saw the sneak peeks. And now there was another new release this weekend. So this post is going to be overloaded with cards, as well as a creation from my newest crafting partner!
This one is from the set Get Stuffed. I love funny stuff like this, so it's perfect. The DP I used on these cards was My Minds Eye, Bloom and Grow, which was the same thing I had on my last Blog Banner.
Don't critique too close, you'll see my mess. I used Glitter Glue on the feathers, and I love the sparkle. I popped up one last piece of pie to finish him off. I can't wait til Turkey Day to get stuffed myself.
These cards are from the Muffin for Christmas Set. I love how they flow over the sides of the muffins. I added some SU chunky glitter to this guy. I was trying to mimic the holly and berries with my button and ribbon.
This image is from the same set. There are three different muffin bottoms and the two tops. Now they added a penguin topper too.
The next two are Holiday Gingers. They are both pretty simple. I used my Nesties to emboss the edges of this image, and then I pierced around it.
I used some different papers on this one but again it's fairly simple.
My newest stamping partner here is RC. He is always asking to color with me anymore. I gave him a couple images and he played along. Then he set them up to photograph them. He then photographed EVERYTHING else as well. But he took an old SU set clear box, and loaded it up with papers, inks, markers and glue, calling it his kit. He cracks me up, but I love that he wants to be crafty with me.
Today we are on the road to Havre for dental appointments. Hoping to enjoy some crafty shopping too! Hope you have a great day. Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Monday! That is right, be happy! *wink* We had a good weekend. Family pictures Saturday even tho it was super chilly. I think we got some cute ones, so as soon as I get them back I'll share. Then it was Girls Night Out, where I worked on cards. I got caught up on some DT cards, and enjoyed yakking the night away with the Tramps. LOL.. I probably should be careful, because some of the girls there might not want to be called Tramps.
Yesterday was a super lazy day. I made a late breakfast and then a pot of beef stew that we ate on in the afternoon. It was a nice way to spend the day.
Now that everyone is back to school today it's back to the weekly grind of housekeeping.
I have some fun Dog Gone Stamps cards to share with you today.
Both cards here are made with the stamp Fly Fishing Background. For this one, I kept the coloring simple, then I cut it out with my Labels 4 Nestie. I cut out the Old Olive cs with the larger sized Nestie, and used the outer part on the card, as a frame for my card. I popped it up for some dimension, and added the sentiment.
For this one, I just added some embellies that I never think about. These photo hangers are from CTMH, and I added some ribbon from my stash. I thought they were sort of manly.
That is all for today. Tomorrow I have a bunch of fun Whimsie Doodles cards. I can't wait to share them with you. RC also has a couple to share with you.
I was going to do this on my blog, but decided to jump on the bandwagon on Facebook and post what I am thankful for there now until Thanksgiving. You can *be my friend* if you want to. LOL...
Have a great day!
Today is the Humble Pie Challenge on their blog. It's a sketch challenge which I LOVE, but since I did this week's tutorial I didn't play along with the sketch.
Full details can be found HERE on the blog, but here is the sketch.
Remember, playing along increases your chances of winning the $10 in Maggie Money!!
TGIF... I've kind of flaked off the rest of this week. The cold knocked me out, and I couldn't do too much. Finally yesterday I could actually work a lil without breaking a sweat. Still full of pfelm, but feeling better. Tomorrow we are going to try our photo shoot again, since we didn't make it last weekend. I am also looking forward to lots of crafty time as I finish up before my first craft show next Saturday. Then I can focus on making my own Christmas presents. Tons of ideas from the Cricut!
I hope you all have a great weekend. I wont be posting...I'll be back on Monday to catch up with you tho. Now go make this sketch!!
