...if there's a tear in my eye, its not for you...


Can you believe tomorrow is December already??? Wow i am not in the Xmas spirit at all this year!! :( I haven't bought one gift yet!! Could be the lack of snow and mild weather we have been having!!

Anyway onto my card for today!!

This is another card kit, i thought this bear was so cute! I coloured him with copics and cut him out and layered him on cool Caribbean and real red.

My card base is Real Red with come Cool Caribbean that i ran through my swirl cuttlebug folder.

I then layered the 2 ribbons that were in the kit and a piece of dsp that was also in the kit.

Hi everyone:) i know its a day late but Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends out there! Here is my card for you:)

Today over at the Humble Pie Challenge Blog the challenge is Monochromatic. Not my fave challenge since i hate using one colour...but i did it and i did it orange (not one of my fave colours!!)

I printed out the pumpkins and coloured them with copics. I used 4 different colours on each pumpkin! Then i cut them out.

The sketch i used is an older one on SCS but i didn't save it...sorry! My papers are from my stash and i have no idea what they are.

...its christmas time in the city...



This weeks Challenge over at Humble Pie is an Altered Item. So i went digging in my closet and found some altoid tins.

I used some bo bunny christmas paper and added some strips of the other side of the paper.

I then printed out this sentiment from Humble pie and cut it out with nesties and matted it on some real red. I finished it off with some snowflakes and bella bon bons.

I also decided to make a card because i love this little Maggie! She is too cute!

I coloured her with copics and cut her out with a nestie.

I used the same paper as the tin so they kind of match:) I finished off the card with some more snowflakes and some liquid applicate for her hat and coat.

...i don't know what to do, but i'm never giving up on you...


Happy Sunday everyone:) Today's challenge over on the Corrosive Challenge Blog is embossing. It can be heat or dry.

I picked dry because it was easier and i am pressed for time! lol

This is a card kit i got in a swap. I coloured the snowmen with copics and used some stickles for the snow. I then cut them out with a nestie.

This is also a sketch challenge on SCS but i didn't save it i guess! Oops!

I used my cuttlebug folder with the diamonds (sorry don't know the name) on a piece of real red paper. The dsp is from the kit and so are the ribbon and brads!

...saturday nights alright for fighting...


Wow i haven't made a non DT card in weeks!! This being sick took a lot outta me! I am feeling much better though and even got a card made:)

This is a card kit i got in a swap. As soon as i saw it i thought of my friend Devon (she is a super chef and even gets to go to the Olympics to cook!!)

I coloured Tilda and her rolling pin with copics and cut them both out. I then cut out an oval nestie and sat Tilda on the rolling pin.

I then found some great red bling in my stash and attached them to the nestie.

The dsp is from the kit, i matted it on real red and basic black. I tied some ribbon from the kit in the middle and then put on the heart button.

To finish off the card i used my SU photo corner punch and layered some together with some bling on top.

So do you think Devon will like her card?? I do know this is one of my fave Tildas!!

HUGS!

...there's 13 angels standing over me....


Today over on the Humble Pie Challenge blog its a lovely sketch! I had to flip the sketch to make it work for me.

I used this lovely sentiment from a set of sentiments at Humble Pie. Since i have been sick i didn't feel like colouring much.

My dsp is from SU, but i don't know the name and i can't find my catalogue (i think my sister threw it out! bah). I am sure someone knows it:)


I finished off the card with some Martha Stewart snowflakes, i doubled them up and added some pearls in the center from my stash.

Be sure to head over to the Humble Pie Challenge blog to see what the rest of the team has been up to!!

wow really i didn't think i would have a card for today but here is it.

I used Lindsay's coffee set for this one:) I coloured the cup with copics and cut it out with a nestie. When i did it cut the steam off so i just cut it out and attached it.

The dsp is from Taylors Oct kit, the card base is PTI white.

For the sentiment i just cut it out and distressed it with some chocolate chip ink and popped it like a banner.

Well i hope you are well, there are some crazy sicknesses going around!!
