We love bringing back those older images into the spotlight and you're going to love all the creativity we have to show you!

My card uses the image Lil Snowman Star, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers.  All papers are from my stash. Don;t you just love the glittery papers?!

Winter Fun For Kids

Well, can you beleive it? I'm guest designer, this fortnight, for Send A Smile 4 Kids! I'm so excited! Thank you, Karen, for the opportunity!  The challenge this fortnight at Send a Smile 4 Kids is to make a project, for kids, with the theme, Winter Fun, For Kids!  Definitely a perfect theme for this time of year, here in the states! Especially being that we just had 6" of snow here in Ohio a couple of days ago, and are expecting more, again, today!  Lots of opportunity for the kiddies to have some Winter Fun! The challenge sponsors, this round, are Milk Coffee Stamps, Dollar Graphics Depot and Fred She Said.  All great companies with super cute images, so be sure you come over and play along for your chance to win!

My card uses this fun image of kids building a snowman, from Milk Coffee Stamps. All papers are from my stash. I especially love the blue paper with white embossed sparkly snowflakes, that I used.  I've embellished the card with black pearls.  This card is the perfect winter card for any boy or girl!


I am entering this card in the following challenges:


Challenge #58 Winter at The Squirrel and The Fox
Challenge #70 Winter Wonderland at Artistic Inspirations

Topiary Tree turned Snowman! Oh My!

HI all! Hope you're having an awesome morning!

I'm back, today, to tell you all about the new challenge going on, now, at C is For Challenge. The theme, this time is "Winter Is Coming."  Uggh I hate to even think about Winter, but unfortunately, we have no choice, at least here in the states!  It's been sooo cold and today we are supposed to get snow here in Ohio! Blah, Yucky! I hate hate hate snow! I think snow is evil! LOL!

Anyway, let me stop rambling and get back to the challenge details.  As always the challenge at C is For Challenge runs for two weeks, so that gives you plenty of time to play along! We're being sponsored, this challenge, by Scribbles Designs, too, so that means a chance for you to win an awesome prize! Want to win and feel like creating a winter project? Then come play along with us at C Is For Challenge.

For my card today, I made a sparkly winter card. This is my second project as guest designer for C Is For Challenge and I'm having so much fun joining in with thier challenges! I've used the image Snow Cap Topiary, by Scribbles Designs, colored with Promarkers. As soon as I seen this image, I immediately thought it may look cute, turned into a snowman - So that's what I did! It was fun to transform the image and I think it turned out so cute! What do you think?! I used two gems as eyes to make he topiary into a snowman. I used an orange Promarker to draw on the nose, and a fine tip black Promarker to draw his smile.  Three more gems were used to make buttons on his middle. A clearstar gelly roll pen was used to ass glitter and sparkle to the snow on each layers of the topiary tree, as well as to the ribbon around the base of the pot. All papers are from my stash. I used a handmade ribbon bow and three blue gemstones to embellish the card and add the finishing touches. The sentiment is hand stamped, with a stamp by Taylored Expressions, and punched with circle punches

Chic Sparkly Christmas

Good Morning!

I have a cute card for you, today! Another Christmas card! Can you tell I am getting into the Christmas spirit?! I hope you are, too, because Christmas will be here before you know it! If you haven't started your Christmas cards, yet, you better get busy!

For today's card, I am using the October freebie from KennyK Downloads - This cute snowman, colored with Promarkers. All my papers are glittered, to add sparkle, and are scraps from my stash.  I also added glitter to the snowman, as well ad embellishing with two shiny sparkly snowflakes, and a snowflake button.  The bottom panel has three recycled buttons, threaded with baker's twine. My sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with circle and scalloped circle punches. I put some wiggly eyes on the snowman and tiny black pearls down the front, for his buttons.

Snowman Thank You

Wow, can you believe how fast Christmas has come and gone?! It was here and gone before we knew it, wasn't it?! Of course, we had lots of snow here, after Christmas, which came in before we knew it.. two snow storms in a row, but luckily one didn't amount to much!  I hate hate hate snow!  But, I do love snowmen!  Which brings me to today's project!

It's time for a new Stella Says Sketch challenge at Catch The Bug, with awesome prizes from Bugaboo Stamps up for grabs! Come over, check out our new sketch, and play along with us! We love it when you participate, and you could be one of our next big winners, just for playing along!

For my card layout, of course, I used the sketch from the current Stella Says Sketch challenge. I've used the image, Snowman Star, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. I used this fun new paper pack from Bo Bunny, in nice winter colors. The border was punched with the drippy goo punch, by Martha Srewart, then sparkle added with a clearstargelly roll pen.  I also added sparkle to the snowman, as well, with the same pen.  The crystal snowflake embellishment is from my stash.  My sentiment is from Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches.

ABC - Let It Snow, Let it Snow

Hello everyone! And a big Merry Christmas to all of you! Hope you are having a wonderful holiday so far, and managing to keep warm.  Today is ABC Monday at Catch The Bug! That means, we feature projects that are Anything BUT A card.  It's always fun to see the different things you can do with stamped or digital images, besides making cards.

Today, I have this adorable glass ornament to show you.  Isn't it a cutie?! The image inside the ornament is Snowman Skates, by Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. The image has been fussy cut out and then inserted into the glass ornament.  Blue sheer ribbon is tied around the neck of the ornament. White, glow in the dark, and blue glitter have been placed inside the ornament, behind and in front of the image.  (Yes, you read that right- I said glow in the dark glitter - If You haven't ever used the stuff, you should try it! It is SO cool!) I made this ornament as a gift, so the recipient is going to be surprised when the snow glows in the dark, don't you think?

If you'd like to see other ABC projects, check out Catch The Bug for more ideas!

Pocket Full Of Snow

Here I am, again, with another pocket card! I'm using another image from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. This time, it's a cute snowman. I went with shades of blue for a monochrome male card. My card layout uses the Sketch at Card Positioning Systems.
I used all papers from my stash. The two strips of paper on the pocket are snowflake paper scraps. The snowman tag sticking out of the pocket uses a scrap of ribbon and I've added faux stitching with my white opaque pen by Inksentials. I've embellished the upper right corner with these sparkly glittered snowflakes. The snowman tag has had glitter and sparkle added with a clearstar gelly roll pen. The sentiment is by Sentiments 4 You and is punched with oval and scalloped oval punches, then mounted with foam mounting tape for dimension. I added Faux pearls around the scallop, with white liquid pearls.
