You Bring Me Joy

Hi all! Here's a card I made for a couple of challenges on SCS. I used MFT's Precious Little Lamb - Where Flowers Bloom. I added some texture to his fur with a Le Plume white gel pen. The rest of him was colored with copics.

The sentiment was cut out with one of the mini tab dienamics. Some silver brads, a white corrugated heart (cut out using another dienamic) and a button with some twine finish off this card.

The sentiment is fitting as my last card of 2011 because all of you who stop by my blog, whether you leave comments or not, certainly do bring me joy! I wish you all MUCH JOY in the new year!!! Be safe!

CAS Christmas cards

Ok, I'm pretty positive these are the last Christmas cards I'll be posting for the year... I just couldn't resist inking up and coloring these CUTIES!!! I couldn't resist getting this HoHoHo set from There She Goes. The sketch is from the Clean and Simple challenge from SCS. These were all colored with copics, added a button and twine, and some glittery "snow". The "Merry Christmas" and "Merry & Bright" are from MFT.

As always, thanks for stopping by! I don't know about y'all, but I am definitely ready for Christmas!!!! :D

Sick of Christmas cards yet?!

I sure hope not! LOL! Here's one I made using one of the sweet new PI's from MFT. The sketch is their WSC50. I gave her a glam look by making the top part of her dress all glittery and the coloring the bottom part with copics so it looks satiny. She's cut out and on pop dots.

I used twill for the middle part of the sketch. The extra holly leaves were cut out using the Christmas Ornaments dienamics. Here's a peek at the inside:

TS Monday -Sparkle and Bling!

Hi all! This week's challenge on the Totally Stampalicious blog is to add some sparkle or bling to your project! I added bling to a lot of the corners and along the sides of the layer under the main one. I also used a gold spica pen to color in her boots - SO shimmery!

Lots of sponging on here, too! Thanks for taking a peek! And don't forget, Totally Stampalicious has an AWESOME SPECIAL going on now, so don't miss out!!!

TS Monday - Eat, drink and be Merry!

Hi and Happy Monday! Can you believe how close we are to Christmas?! Wow, I know I can't! Here's my card for this week's Totally Stampalicious challenge which is to have some type of food and/or drink on your card. Uh, can't go wrong with a big ol' cup of cocoa! Love this sweet image called Poppi Cocoa. He's colored with copics and is up on pop dots. My sweet 8 y.o. loved how I colored the cup and wanted me to color one for him like that because it looks like a "real shiny cup". So sweet!

I kept the layout simple and just added some small scallop dienamic borders at the top and bottom. Some satin ribbon with a MS snowflake punch, part of the fringed perennial dienamic and a pearl add the finishing touches. The whole main layer is also up on pop dots. Here's a peek of the inside where I've stamped one of the sentiments from this set, more dp and another small scallop border.Now head on over and check out the rest of the dt's creations! And don't forget about the fabulous special going on over at TS! It's a great time to do a little Christmas shopping for your favorite stamper - YOURSELF! *wink*

Snow Much Love in blue

Hi ya! Here's a card I made for the latest Mojo sketch and for Sue's VSN challenge on SCS, which is to make a Christmas card using blues. I just love this newly released Frosty stamp by MFT! He's colored with copics and is up on pop dot. The sentiment, also from that set, was cut out using a Verve oval die. I added a MS punched snowflake and brad. A little piercing around the popped up main layer and done!

Thanks for stopping by! See you in the morning with a new Totally Stampalicious blog challenge!

MFT WSC49 - Feel Better

Hi! Everyone recoup from the release party and shopping?! Ha! Well, here's my last hoorah as guest dt... I had this sweet Fred Bear Gives Comfort colored and ready to go for a few days now and decided to save him for the sketch. Is he not the sweetest?! He's colored with copics. I used like a dotted technique to give his fur some depth and dimension. I used the circle from the Fishtail Banner dienamic behind the big, fancy brads. The sentiment was cut out with the newly release Mix & Match Banner dienamic. You can only see a little of it, but I also used the Scallop Ribbon border dienamic.

A peek at the inside... Here I've used the crown border and just stamped Fred's sweet face peeking around the corner.

Thanks for stopping by! Off to the mall - wish me luck!

Hugs,
