FRAMED SNOWMAN # 2 / DB #5 & PTW...

Good morning! We have a brand new challenge for you over at the Dilly Beans Challenge blog, and another chance for you to pick up a free digi! Our challenge this week is to use "shades of red & black". I used Framed Snowman #2, colored him in shades of black & grey, colored the heart red & added some chunky glitter!

  

I also used the sketch from Papertake Weekly and the color palette form colourQ!

Thanks so much for visiting...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY / CQC #117...

Ahhh, another fabulous colourQ Challenge started yesterday! Today is my birthday, I turned 39! That's so hard to believe - I think I'm still in my early 30s!

Most everything about this card is Papertrey Ink! I just placed an order with them last week... keep your fingers crossed that there will be a little package waiting for me when I get home!

Thanks so much for visiting...

WIND IN THE AIR / ADFD New Release...

Tammy has a super sweet little A Day For Daisies release today, Giving Love. All the images are just gorgeous! I used this image, Wind in the Air, and paper pieced her with some Authentique paper. Make sure you go visit the blog to see the other inspiration and don't forget there's another week to join in the challenge!

Bye for now...

CHISTMAS OWLS / DB #4...

Good morning! There's a new challenge up over at the Dilly Beans Challenge blog - use 3 different images together! I decided to use Winter Owl, Christmas Owl and Tree Branch. Megan's owls are SO CUTE!!!! And it was so fun coloring theme up with Copics! It's hard to tell, but if you click the pic to enlarge it, you'll also see some stickles I added to the hats and scarves.

Thanks so much for visiting...

PENGUIN TAG / DS #32...

ARE YOU GETTING EXCITED YET? Only a few more days until Christmas - WOOHOO!!! We went to visit Santa last night - Alex sat in his lap & Maisie said "No" - which happens to be her favorite word these days. 

We have a new sketch for you over at the Deconstructed Sketch today, it will run for 2 weeks, so you have plenty of time to play along!

I used the Penguin Tag image from Dilly Beans for this card - so CUTE!

   

Bye for now!

BUG & ROO ALLISON / BLD Inspiration and USSIS #137...

For the Inspiration post over at byLORIdesigns, I decided to play with Bug & Roo Allison today. Her clothing is digitally paper pieced, and the papers used are from the same digital pack... I just can't remember which one - LOL!

I also used this week's sketch from Unscripted Sketches...

Thanks for stopping by!

HOLIDAY BUTTON BITS / CQC #116 & FTL #171...

Hello! We have some VERY traditional colors for today's new colourQ Challenge! I thought it would be fun to drag out Papertey Ink's Holiday Button Bits for my card. Such a fun set!

I used the Fall-to-Layout #171, isn't is awesome?!?

Thanks for stopping by!

CHRISTMAS COOKIES (day one) / Sweet Shoppe Challenge...

Here's a page featuring the kids and I making Christmas cookies! Mommy got to measure and the kids got to put the ingredients in the mixer! We had a lot of fun, and "day two" will feature us rolling them out and decorating them.

The kit I used is "I Want to Bake You Cookies" by Laura Grier.

Bye for now!

SANTA SNOWMAN / DB #3 & SSSC #147...

Good morning! We have a great new challenge for you starting to day over at the Dilly Beans Challenge - our theme is "Santa Baby"! I used 2 digis, the Checkered Frame and this gorgeous little Santa Snowman! Isn't he cute?!? For the sparkle on my card I used a chunky Martha Stewart glitter - awesome stuff!

I used Karen's sketch (a little modified) over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Her sketches are always one of my fave "go-to" spots for inspiration!

Thanks so much for visiting...

KITTY FOR CHRISTMAS / ADFD New Release...

I am in LOVE with the new release today, All Wrapped Up, over at A Day For Daisies!!! The images of Christmas~y kittens and puppies and bunnies is ADORABLE!!! I decided to make a little gift box with this image Kitty for Christmas. 

I used this digital scrap kit by Dani Mogstad, called Fa-La-La. This bundle has lots of goodies in it, including a lot of printable containers. I took one of them and modified it to make this box. The bow is made from 6 strips of paper. I used the papers from the kit to paper piece the image.

Bye for now...

MAISIE GRACE / Sweet Shoppe Challenge...

Here's one of Maisie's Christmas pictures. The December Portfolio over at the Sweet Shoppe is to pick challenges from the previous 11 months, and there was a really cool one to cut shapes out of your background, so I chose to do these cool snowflakes! The kit is by Kristin Cronin-Barrow, called Deck the Hall: Classic.

Thanks for stopping by!

SNOWBALL GIRL / DS #31 & Jellypark Challenge...

Good morning! The kiddies are home sick today, the weather here has gone from freezing to the 70's over and over again the past month, I don't know if we'll ever shake all these little bugs going around!

This morning's card is for this week's Deconstructed Sketch. It turned out a little differently than it was supposed to, I suppose, but I think it still works - LOL! The light blue scallop is from felt - which is the theme of the Jellypark Challenge. I put stickles on the snow and snowball in her hand. The image is from Jellypark, called Snowball Girl.

Bye for now...
