Love Potion

 

Love Potion Card

 

Valentine's Day is going to sneek up on me as we are very busy this January. This card is created for my hubby who loves blue and orange. I used the weekly sketch over at Sketch Frenzy Friday

 

I used some old paper from SU, Alphabet from CTMH, heart burst and beakers are from Unity Stamps kit of the month Happy Love Day colored in with some copics and used some dimensionals on the orange beaker.

 

 

Christmas Canvas for the kids

I love mixed media, it was so much for to create this canvas for my daughters bedroom door with her talented "help" Keep in mind she's 4. lol. Her imaginary friend is Peso the Penguin and when I found this patterned paper at Giggles and Scribbles I knew I had to buy it for her. The penguin is cut out from my cricut machine using the cartridge Create a Critter 2. I used up so glitter paper that I have been collecting (not hoarding) With her help we have a few bubbles under the DSP but that's ok with me because it adds charater.

And here's the canvas for our son's bedroom door. He's 2 years old and LOVES neigh-neighs! Anything that resembles a horse is a neigh-neigh, lol. This reindeer is also cut off the Create a Critter 2 cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by today. I love hearing from other crafters and seeing your work too. So if you happen to comment I'll be sure to visit your blog as well.

Merry Monday #83

This weeks challenge over at Merry Monday is to use strips, red, chocolate brown with stars or hearts. I had so many ideas but had a hard time with the stars or hearts part of the challenge... Here's what I came up with...

Used a candy cane embossing folder on real red cs, edgelit on the ivory with red twine and a chipboard star (colored with ink and then cinnamon stickles) The merry and bright stamp comes from Unity Stamps Ocotober kit of the month. Used chalk talk framelits on the ivory and brown tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm off to make lunch for my muchkins and then I'll be back to comment on the cards created.

Oh Christmas Tree...

Today's card was created for two challenges. First the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday SFF110813  and also Unity's Friends with Flair 

 

Embossed the card front with snowflakes and used some silver Inka Gold Metallic Rub. A few banners with the new paper from Stampin up. Inked up the trees and sentiment from Unity Stamps October 2013 kit of the month. Oh and my most favorite item is that little bit of glitter to the left of the trees... it's adhesive glitter ribbon from Close to my Heart.

Good Times

I received the best surprise for my birthday this year! I'm heading to Las Vegas for four days with my sister in law. My hubby will be home from work later today and I'm flying out Friday morning. This is my fourth trip to Vegas and I'm just as excited this trip as the first. I will miss my babies and hubby but know that they will have fun here too. I might even miss the first snow fall of the year.

Anyways enough about that, on to the card I created for my sister in law as a thank you for taking this funfilled trip with me! Card Layout is from this weeks Tuesday Morning Sketch. Created this card using products from Close to my Heart and Stamping up. I used some dsp from SU called Eastern Elegance. Cardstock is slate grey (CTMH), whispering white and coastal cabana (SU) Inks are slate grey and coastal cabana. I added some ribbon instead of punching a border on the sentiment and added a resin flower to the center of the paper flowers.

Merry Monday #74 and Tuesday Morning Sketches 3215

Another fun Christmas card to add to my stash! I think my total is up to 40 cards now.

Todays card is for Merry Monday Challenge: to use green and white with woodgrain and Tuesday Morning Sketches! I dug out some garden green and pistaschio pudding. Embossed this Santa with versa mark and white powder. Using spellbinders circles and scallops around him, mounted on white cardstock that was run through the big shot with the wood grain folder from Stampin up. Used word window and modern label punches for the sentiment and added 6 pearls around the edges.
