Happy Canada Day:)





Well Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends (and you Canadians living elsewhere!). I don't usually do much to celebrate Canada Day, things around this city are NUTS! So i usually just stay home and chill out.





I have decided to show you a Bella Card on this day because Stamping Bella is my fave Canadian company:)



My base is PTI white with Mellow Moss and some Razzleberry Lemonade DSP! I love Razzleberry, its a great purple!!

I coloured my Bitty Bloom with copics and used a bella bon bon for the center of the flower. I think this is Poppy Bittybloom, i got her in a swap:)

I cut her out with nesties and layered on a piece of mellow moss.

The green ribbon came from my stash and a layered a piece of Razzleberry on top.

The sentiment is from SU called Short and Sweet and i finished the card off with some Primas and a bella bon bon in the middle!

I am so glad Jamie is back doing sketches again! They rock:)

Also today is day 1 of the Squigglefly Blog Hop! Be sure to go check it out, there are lots of stamps to be won!! Come back tomorrow for my card!! :)






HUGS!!

The greeting farm:)


I made this simple card for one of the monthly card kit swaps i am in. Its one of the last ones, then i am taking a break for the summer, although i am sure i will miss them!
My cardstock is Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose. The dsp was with the kit so i have no idea what it is.
The image is from the Greeting Farm, but i don't know the name. I coloured it with copics.
I finished off the card with some CTMH bling. I like to keep swap cards simple because i have to make 6 at a time and i don't want to much on them for mailing purposes!
Well i hope you have a great day!!
HUGS!

Squigglefly Challenge #8!!


So todays Squigglefly challenge is to make an ATC...i haven't made one of these in years!! So i pulled out some old stuff and went to work.
I wanted to make a different ATC so i made a tag pull out one. The colours are bordering blue and brocade blue. The dsp is old SU paper (sorry don't know the name, it was a little scrap i found). I used the free Hummingbird from Squigglefly and printed him out pretty small, so small he fit in a 1 1/4 inch punch:) I layered it on a square scallop.
The Thanks is Heartfelt Thanks by SU and the little flowers is an old SU set that i only kept that stamp from so i have no idea what it is:)
I used the tab punch and some old SU organdy ribbon i got through wish rak! The button is also from SU
Be sure to head over to the Squigglefly blog to see what everyone else is up to:) There is also a 2 day blog hop coming up...so be ready!! Lots of fun prizes to be won!!
HUGS!

Oh Canada.....


Today's challenge over on the Corrosive Challenge Blog the theme is Patriotic. Make a card with the colours of your flag, or something to do with your country!
I bought this stamp from High Hopes forever ago and haven't even inked it yet! Its a really big stamp so i had to make a 5.25 X 5.25 card. This was the only nestie it would fit in too. (and some stuff got cut off, poor beaver!)
I coloured the image with copics.
For my layout i did my own and don't like it at all...ugh...i used Chocolate chip and the dsp is rockabilly by SU.
I used some Real Red ribbon and buttons and finished off the card with some SU corduroy buttons. OH and i had these photo corners left from another card so i used them too. The inside reads " greetings from Canada"
Make sure you head on over to the blog to see the rest of the amazing cards the DT made!!!
HUGS!

Its a Gorjuss Girl kinda day...



I found this great new blog and i LOVE the sketches and the stamps!! So be sure to check it out! http://www.littlepapershop.com/ I even ordered some stamps from them:)

Ok so i have had this Gorjuss Girl coloured since i got her...and she was sitting ther collecting dust...i figured it was time to put her on a card!

I coloured her with copics and cut her out with nesties.

The dsp is mounted on Chocolate chip, the orange is My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow and the red is Rockabilly by SU.
Both were scraps on my desk, so was all the Chocolate Chip! I seem to be using a lot of it lately!





I used some bling i had lying around the sentiment is Bitty Birthday from SU.

HOpe you have a Gorjuss Day:)

Its a Scrappy Frogs Challenge Day!!



Well this was a tough challenge for me because i am not good with the whole pirate thing!! The challenge was to use this Pirate ship background to make a card! I decided to download the free Dragon too (because i need him for another project anyway!).


I coloured the Dragon and Background with Copics, it was fun to colour them:) I tried to make the wood look old on the deck, but i don't think it worked! lol



My colours are Green Galore and Baja Breeze. The stripped paper is from Piggy Tales.



I cut out the dragon and placed him in the middle. Oh i also used Mojo92 for this one as well!
The greeting is from the SU set On your Birthday and i punched it out with my SU punch.
I finished off the card with some corners and some bling (because every dragon needs bling right??)
So be sure to head over to the Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog to see what the prize is and what the rest of the DT came up with:)
HUGS!

I coloured the guitar with copics and used my gelly roll pen for the tuning pegs and pick ups. Then i cut it out with my nesties.

The card base is PTI white with Bermuda Bay, then some Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. I also used a piece of Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo.

Christmas Monkey Style....




Over on the sketch and stash challenge blog this is the great sketch!!





I have had this Changito monkey coloured for a while now and thought he would fit perfect with the sketch!





I coloured him with copics, a jelly roll stardust pen and some liquid applique to his hat and boots.





I used my snow dots Cuttlebug folder for the background on top of a layer of Chocolate Chip Su paper and some PTI white as a base.





The ribbon in SU chocolate chip with a layer of some ribbon from my stash on top. I layer Changito on Chocolate chip.

I used my SU Photo corner punch and put some CTHM bling on them.

The snowflakes are Martha Stewart punch with CTMH bling in the middle.

I love the colours of this card!! I sooooooo miss Cool Carribean!! SU needs to get it back!!!

Well have a great day!! :)
