Holiday Greetings

Happy Halloween!!! What is more appropriate for a Halloween post than a Christmas card? I have been practicing my Copic coloring. This image is a free digital download from My Favorite Things. And that beautiful paper is Kaiser Craft. I also finally got around to scrapbooking last years Christmas pictures with this paper. I used Spellbinder Nestis for the scalloped frame. The
cardstock is PTI Scarlett Jewel that just happend to match perfectly. Along with some PTI Scarlett Jewel ribbon and the sentiment is also PTI Merry & Bright. Then finished the card off with three little snowflake punches from Martha Stewart snowflake punch.

Alrighty then, I am making french toast for breakfast and my daughter is driving me nuts to get started so I must run. Thanks so much for your visit!!! Have a great Halloween!
Cheers!

Happy Holidays

HI!!! Happy Tuesday. Hope things are well on your side of the fence. I have two cards same design just in different colors. The one on the bottom was for an embellishment challenge. This time i remembered the twine. ( a few posts down I did the same challenge but forgot the twine).

The first card was my original and found the inspiration for it from a Home Decor magazine. Cant remember the name of it. It was a mag at work, I instantly thought of this layout and jotted it down so I would remember when I got home. Okie dokie, I am off to have some family time. Enjoy your night and thanks so much for coming to see me!

Cheers!

Purple Butterfly

HAPPY MONDAY!!! wooohooo....we made it. Made it through Monday! Hope all is well with you.
I was totally inspired to copy one of Dawn McVeys cards. I loved the big butterfly. I decided to change the color to purple. The butterfly I used was cut using the Hannah Montana Cartridge (have i said i love that cart before LOL) The small butterfly is the Martha Stewart punch. Good Luck sentiment is from PTI Mega Mixed Messages. The embossing down at the bottom was used with the American Crafts Purple Metallic Embossing Powder and PTI Damask Designs. I threw on some pearls from The Paper Studio and some Plum Pudding ribbon from PTI. OH the polka dot paper is PTI Bitty Dots in Lavender Moon. Hope you enjoyed. Have a great night!!
Cheers!

Adore and some tidbits

HI!!!! Well, i am still alive after the 10K run!!! OMG it totally wore me out though. My daughter took some before and after pics and I was too ashamed to show the after pic (after got home and showered) I looked like I had been beat half to death! LOL I ran 6 miles in just under 1 hour and 20 mins. That to me is a little slow because my husband is a marathon runner but hey... I had never ran more than 3 miles so it was an accomplishment. My daughter took the pic above of me running past the finish line. I was wonderful and can hardly wait to do it again.

Then WICKED was absolutely AMAZING! The props and acting, everything was superb!

I did hear two ladies behind me saying that they saw Wicked in St Louis and it just did not compare to Nashville, they said Nashville was tons better.

Now...on to my page. This is of course Grace while we where in Florida. I had actually scrapped this pic in one of Dawn McVey's color challenges but HATED the layout. So I re did it and LOVE this one. The base page is The Angel Co, polka dot paper is Jennie Bowlin (LOVE her stuff). The striped paper is DCWV. The flowers and lace is The Paper Studio as well as the flat pearls and brads. I swiped White Pigment Ink across the pink paper and also the Clear Cardstock from PTI that I placed over the photo to make a border around the pic. The little butterflies were punched with Martha Stewart punch. And the Adore was cut using my beloved Cricut and the Home Accents Cartridge. Well thanks so much for your visit today. I hope you come back!!!

Cheers!

Color Me Purple

Hi All!!!
Hope you have had a great Monday so far. I had an EXTREMELY busy day in the ER today. It is that time of year I guess. Thank goodness that I have a job! Thanks for coming in to see me today. I have this card for your view pleasure today. I got the stipe idea from a magazine. I also have shared a card similar to this before. ANYWHO....I used Bazzil monochromatic card stock. I punched out the snowflakes with Martha Stewart punch. I used the emboss resist technique on the label one die cut. Holiday wishes and the snowflakes are a Papertrey Ink stamp and the hardware is SU. Gonna run for now DD has lots of homework. Take care!
Cheers!

Glisten

Good Friday Morning!!!
Note to self. Take a photography class! This card is so pretty IRL. The card stock is PTI Gold Shimmer and that beautiful ribbon is also PTI. I just can not get a good pic this am. This was for a challenge over a SCS for limited supplies. Your creation can only be snowflakes and bling that is it! and only one sentiment. I used glisten, I stamped it in Vintage Cream ink then sprinkled glitter over it. It does look good IRL but it did not come out in the pic, this is the only stamp on the card. The snowflakes are a punch from Martha Stewart. Super easy. Oh, the glitter and bling is CTMH. TFL! Enjoy your Friday
Cheers!
