...burning bridges falling down...

Over on karen's blog instead of a new sketch the challenge was to use one of her old sketches. I picked this one because it was simple and i wanted to make some simple Christmas cards. I counted my box and realized i don't have enough and better get moving!!

I already had these riley's coloured so all i had to do was cut them out:) He is coloured with copics and cut out with nesties.

My paper is PTI white, kiwi kiss (ran through a cuttlebug folder), and the dsp are some scraps from my stash.







I finished off the card with some of bella's frosted bon bons and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes by SU:)

How are you doing with your Christmas cards???

HUGS

...little fighter....DAY #3 of 80's TRIVIA!

I was going through my coloured images (i have a lot, i love to colour!) and i came across this cutie from MFT! Dana had stamped these for me and i haven't even used them yet!!

I thought it would fit perfect with the Sweet Sunday Challenge! I coloured the little mouse with copics and cut him out with nesties.

All my papers are from my scrap bin. My base is PTI white with basic grey and then some pink flamingo dsp from SU and a piece of My Minds Eye orange paper.

The ribbon is from my stash, its all i had left! Yikes!




I finished off the card with some primas with a bella dot in the center!

Now onto some Trivia...

Its Graduation time!!

This is my second graduation card in a week:) I am a little late with them since both grads were a week ago, but i am sure they will forgive me!! :)

This one is for my niece Shannon. She is the baby of my nieces and nephew i call her my brat:)

I am so proud of her, she graduated with a 95% average!! :) She studies very hard and i know she will do well in university! She is taking Accounting since she is so good with numbers:)

Ok onto my card:) I bought this Riley stamp for her card, i think hes so cute! I hope i have more grads to use it on though.

Shannon and i went to the same school so i am glad i knew the colours, purple and white:) I had to leave the side panel off the card because i couldn't get anything that looked right!

I used Elegant Eggplant and Shimmery white both from SU. I put the shimmery white through my big shot with the swiss dots folder.

I then used 2 pieces of elegant eggplant ribbon for the middle.

I coloured Riley with copics and cut him out with Nesties.

I finished off the card with some bling and the saying is teeny tiny sayings by SU:)


Here is Shannon at her grad:) She is a lot like me, not very girlie:)













And here is a picture of Shannon at prom! Her and her friends went and they got a limo:) I am so glad she went since i didn't go to my prom:)














I guess that is it for today! I am off to Toronto to see Poison/Def Leppard tonight!! :) yay! Happy 4th of July to my US friends:)

HUGS!

Its a Happy Day...

For 2 reasons! One...Its Karen's Birthday! So be sure to hop over to her blog and send her some love!

Karen please don't kill us, we love you:) hugs!













The next reason is today i am at a wedding in Toronto! My friend Krista is getting married to a great guy Shawn. Its a cute story...they dated in highschool, broke up..and after years apart they reconnected again! I stole this picture from facebook:) I met Krista through pen palling! We wrote for years and always met up at concerts and Canada's Wonderland! We now see each other a couple times a year! She rocks and i wish her and Shawn the best!







Now onto the card! I made this card a few weeks ago but couldn't post it because Krista is a follower of my blog! hee hee Now you are probably wondering what is up with the colours...well when i asked Krista what her colours were she told me hot pink with orange accents! So i had to make a card that matched!!

I bought hitchedafellabella for this card (a long time ago mind you). I coloured them with my copics and used my spica glitter pen on the suit cuffs and collar. I used Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the dress i think it would have been too blah without the glitter!

The paper is Basic black and PTI white. The dsp is My Minds Eye (orange) Bloom and Grow, and American Crafts (pink) Teen series.

The ribbon is Paper Source Ribbon (fushia), i love it so much that this is the first time i have used it since i bought it in Boston! I would be sad if i used it all up!

I cut them out with nesties and stamped always (small script SU) with memento black ink.
I wanted to use flowers somewhere on the card, but i think its perfect the way it is!

Oh this is a Sweet Sunday Sketch too! But i don't think i saved it on my computer. It was #20!

I sure do hope they like it!! :)

I will report on the wedding later!! :)

HUGS!

ITS VACATION TIME!!!

Yes it is!! Every year i take off the week of my Birthday!! Don't ask me why, i always seem to have crappy birthdays unless i am away (last year was Disney World). I was suppose to go to Las Vegas but my friend Devon got a new job and can't come with me:( So i am planning a BBQ at my house...we will see how that goes! lol

Anyway here is my challenge card! Be sure to check out the Challenge blog for all the fab cards from the Design Team! They are on their last month!! :( sniff sniff But the next team is ready to go!

For this card i used a sketch i found on this really cool blog called Sweet Sunday so be sure to check it out! I coloured my bitty bloom with copics and a spica glitter pen.

I used everything from Taylor's Key Ingredient Kit. Do you think there is enough bling on this card?? LOL I really messed up the nesties...so i had to improvise.

I used On Your Birthday from SU for the sentiment.

Well i hope you have a good Sunday, its the last day of FREE COFFEE at work...WOO HOO!!

I have also come down with some kind of cold virus...ugh...i hope my week isn't spent in bed!!! YIKES!

Hugs
