Felt Mittens

Evening to you all!
Hope your Monday has gone well. It was a pretty OK day at work. Usually Monday is ferocious! Very busy but today just steady. Gotta love that. Anywho.....wanted to share a card that I started at my friends Gina's monthly card workshop. Once I got home I changed a few things. Instead of the stamped mittens I decided to cut them out of felt. I like this MUCH better. Then it seemed a little boring so I added snowflake brads! I like this much better than the original. And my friend Angela let me borrow that awesome punch!! thanks girl! Thanks for coming by my way today. Dont forget to enter for blog candy on Saturdays post!!
Cheers!

Soft Christmas Card

Helllloooooo!!!
Sure hope you are doing well today. I am sharing a card I made from a sketch challenge over at
PTI. I used My Minds Eye pattern paper. I used Merry and Bright for the trees and sentiment. The snowflake is from Rustic Snowflakes both PTI as is the beautiful ribbon. I stamped images onto PTI Vintage Cream and the pink and blue cs is CTMH Blush and Twilight. I got the scallop edge from Fiskars threading water punch and the scallop circle from SU. Hope to get back to you soon. I have totally neglected my house today reading Breaking Dawn, the last in the Twilight series. I hope to finish it tonight. Are you going to go see the movie!!! I can hardly wait! woohoo
Cheers!

Frosty Nights

Happy Election Day! Man, I got lucky, I walked right in and voted!! I tried 3 different times before during early voting and each time it was a 2 1/2 wait. Anywho, I am still playing with the new nesti's. This time I used Curved Rectangles, I decided to make the whole card the shape.
I used True Thyme cs from SU then used CTMH White to stamp the snowflakes from Snowfall PTI. The snowman and sentiment is Made of Snow also PTI. I don't know but I think this one is a little bland, I inked the edges for more pop, it did help define the curves. Oh well back to the drawing board. TFL!! Not much longer and I will have 10,000 hits that means blog candy!!!
Cheers!

Baby Boy

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share a sweet little card I cased from the Sunday's Featured Stamper over at SCS. This girl has some super duper talent. Be sure to check out her
gallery, you will be blown away. Here is her card that I cased. Of course her is better than mine but I still like it. I used PTI Bitty Baby Blessings for the stamp and my new Label One nesti die. and ribbon from JoAnn. Fiskars scallop punch for a top border. Anyway. Thanks so much for the visit. I have to run. Very busy tonight!!!
Cheers!

Happy Halloween!!

Good Morning and Happy Halloween!
What better way to celebrate Halloween than with winter cards!! Teehee
I FINALLY got the new Label One dies from Spellbinders. Gosh, that was such a looonnnngggg
wait. Anywho, I just had to dive in. I REALLY need to learn how to take better pics of cards because the blue does match IRL on these cards however, it just does not show up on camera.
I got out the Rustic Snowflakes from PTI and the Indian Corn Blue from CTMH and made a couple of winter cards. The first one is matted on Shimmery Silver PTI. I stamped onto that too awesome White cs then cut out the 2nd smallest label. The ribbon used is PTI Shimmery Silver and retired SU French Blue amazingly it matches the ICB exactly! The second card I think is my fav. I cut a large label out of glossy cs, stamped Rustic Snowflakes in versamark, embossed with clear ep, then sponged ICB over it with the nesti as a stencil to leave an edge. The glittery ribbon I got at the end of Christmas last year at Hobby Lobby. I stamped snowflakes in White pigment ink (SU) then added some little silver Dew Drops. Both cards I embossed the word "snowflakes" in Silver ep. So that is my morning so far. I hope to get a chance to play more after I help dd class with there "Fall Party!" Have a Happy and SAFE Halloween!!!
Cheers!

Coffee Break

Hi there! Thanks for finding your way over to my blog today. Hope you will like the card today. It is simple straight to the point card. I made it for a lady at work who celebrated her birthday today and LOVES coffee. The polka dot paper is Silhouette from CTMH the red is Pure Poppy and cream is Vintage cream both from PTI. The luscious red ribbon is also Pure Poppy satin ribbon (so smooth and beautiful) I stamped Happy Birthday from PTI Birthday Basics. That is it for today. I am hoping to have a crafty day tomorrow. Enjoy your day!

Frilly Girly Card

EDIT: GO TITANS 31-21!!!

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?!?!?!?
Whats goin' on this Monday Evening? In my world the Titans and Colts game! Woooohoooo
Go Titans. Well, if you do not enjoy football then I have a card to share with you! I made this card per request for a girl I work with, her DD, Janie is turning 7 this weekend. Janie's favorite
color is PINK! I got this layout from another card in Nov/Dec Paper Crafts Magazine made by
Melissa Phillips. I loved the softness of it and just had to duplicate. I admit that it may not be very young but it is still soft and delicate like this soon to be 7 year old. Anywho, I used PTI Vintage Cream cs and stamped PTI Polka Dot Basics in SU Cameo Coral. The pattern paper and stickers are from the SU Simply Scrappin kit. I stamped Janie (which you cannot see in the pic) with PTI Spring Moss then cut in little strips and had them peak out over the main image. The number 7 was stamped from CTMH Homestead Alphabet. The yummy fat grosgrain ribbon is PTI Spring Moss and the button and silver string is from my bottomless stash-o-goodies. I hope you enjoyed this card today also. Thanks so much for the visit. Hope to see you again soon!!!
Cheers!

October Papertrey Ink BlogHop

Hi there, thanks so much for checking out my project for this months bloghop in which we were

to create anything with polka dots. Fun stuff cause I loves me some polka dots!! Since I took a jewelry making class not too long ago I decided to make a polka dot snowflake necklace. I bought an inexpensive large charm and painted it green with pink polka dots. The polka dots were added with PTI Polka Dot Basic stamp (I do believe this is my favorite PTI stamp set that I have) I then stamped a snow flake from Rustic Snowflakes with white pigment ink as white paint did not give a good image. After that all dried I covered it in Mod Podge for a nice shiny coat. I used seed beads that matched the paint and faux pearls and silver spacer beads. Of course I needed a card to match just incase I decided to give this as a gift. This was a really fun project to create and my daughter was right there with me creating one of her own too. Thanks for looking I hope you enjoy all the other projects you can find on the PTI forum here.
Cheers!

Sparkle

Thank goodness I have the day off today. Lots of stuff to do. Clean, Create, Workout, Errands and Vote!!! So, on to today's card. I used all PTI products except for the embossing powder and hardware (SU). The stamp set is Snowfall Additions. The pattern paper is Vintage Holiday and the card stock is Pure Poppy oh, the green is SU (I do not have my PTI green yet). That beautiful ribbon is silver ribbon by PTI and the card is backed by Silver Shimmer. I LOVE that paper. Pretty simple card but I love it. Hope you do to. Enjoy your Thursday!!
