Christmas Trees

Yeah, I know my blog post title is really original....

A new sponsor is with us this week at Sister Act Card Challenge. We're happy to welcome Just Some Lines to our line-up of great sponsors. I actually used one of her background images from Christmas Bear - The Wonder of Christmas. It comes with a Christmas tree and I just placed 3 of them together in different sizes to make a collage. Colored them up, added some white paint, and then glitzed them up with Sparkles. I keep threatening to order some of that new stuff going around (frantage??), but haven't gotten around to it. At this rate, something else will become popular before I ever try it. 

Kept it simple, but I think it seems a little vintage. Added a little twine and a brad from Hobby Lobby. (BTW...I'm so sad we live over an hour away from HL. Sniff, sniff. I used to love popping in there. Guess it's saving me some money).

 

 

Under the Mistletoe

Goodness, Christmas is quickly approaching! I'm pretty sure we just had last year's yesterday...

This post is scheduled, but hopefully Tricia, my SIL and co-owner of SACC, had her baby girl this week. Sure wish I could be there to snuggle her! 

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge, we're being sponsored by Stamp and Create. They are an online scrapbook store with anything and everything. You'll wanna make sure and join our challenge for a chance to win this gift certificate.

I used a pre-colored image from Lili of the Valley. It made for a fast card which sometimes is kinda nice! I'm not sure if you can still get them. Last time I checked, you couldn't. 

The paper is from MakingMemories that I found at Big Lots. I just love random stores like that. The red flowers are from Micheals, as well as the bling.

 

Chuggin' By...

Hey Everyone! Happy Friday! Busy, busy, busy here with Christmas preparations and baby coming in a month. Don't have too many details to share with you b/c I made this card at my SIL's this past summer. Needless to say, I can't remember. HA! I colored it orange because my hubby is an Allis Chalmers fan.

Come play with us at Sister Act Card Challenge.

Caroling, Caroling...

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. We were able to go back to my Mom's house and celebrate with my grandparents. There was enough food to feed an army! So yummy...and she fixed my favorite pie. 

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge, we're being sponsored by Digi Darla Designs. This caroling couple is from her store. We'd love for you to join us. 

Lovin'

Went quick and easy and used a pre-colored image from LOTV. Not sure they sell them anymore...I did add some more color to it because it just seemed to need it (grass and such).

Frosty

Hello All,

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Rick St Dennis. I chose to use Frosty. Kept things fairly simple, especially with the busy paper.

The Kind of Person

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge, we're being sponsored by Meljens. I chose to use Cozy Mittens. I paper pieced the majority of the image and so it came together pretty quick. The sketch is an old deconstructingjen which you can find on my sidebar. 

The paper is from Hobby Lobby.

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Digi Darla Designs and QKR Stampede. I chose to use Lil Lad Scarecrow. Isn't he sweet? I may or may not have went a little overboard on the flowers, but couldn't stop. HA! The green ones are from Recollections, brown from Hobby Lobby, and the others are from Petaloo. I used the circle pennant die from Whimsy Stamps for the "Happy Fall."

We'd love for you to join us...double the prizes this week.

 

 Today is also my sister's b-day, but I'm fairly certain she doesn't read this blog...just in case though...Happy Birthday!

Tea Time

Happy Friday!! Anyone interested in knowing that Christmas is less than 100 days away?! :) Thought that might bring a reaction...good or bad. 

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we are being sponsored by Stamp and Create. They are an online scrapbook store with lots of goodies. The stamp I used is available there. I believe it is called Joyful Tilda.

The butterfly embellishment is from K & Company. The wooden frame is from Micheals and I distressed it with an ink pad. The flowers are mostly from Micheals.

Sarah Kay Stamps for Sale

I have these used stamps for sale (just click on picture):

Easter Bunnies

Hello and Happy Friday!

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

It's been a crazy week, so I pulled a card out of my stash that I hadn't shared, yet. We all know I'm not that far in advance with my Easter cards. :)

I tried coloring with a different technique using copics. I put some of the ink on my clear acrylic block and then using my blender dabbed it on hoping for a watercolor effect. It took WAY too long! I don't think I'll be attempting that any time soon. 

The paper is OLD from my stash. The flowers are a variety from Micheals and elsewhere. I backed the image with some really wide lace.

Happy Fall Scare Crow

Hello and Happy Friday! Can you believe it's September?

This week at Sister Act Card Challenge we're being sponsored by

I chose to use Country Scare Crow.

 I used my SIL's stash, so I can't give you details on the card. Hope you have a great weekend!

Stamps for Sale

I have several stamps for sale:

Nautical Wishes

Hello, I'm on vacation this week visiting back home with the family. We have been looking forward to this trip. Needless to say, this post was scheduled, so here's hoping for no technical difficulties. 

It's time for another challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. Anything Goes is our theme, so we'd love for you to join us. We're being sponsored by Digi Darla and Ink and Whimsy2. I chose to use Digi Darla's Ship2.

Thought this image made a great card to have on hand for Father's Day or a male birthday. I just printed it out on kraft card stock and took my copics to give it a little color. I didn't fully color the entire image. I just wanted to give it a smidge. Kept the layout simple.

 

Bee Mine

Just a quick Valentine tag to show you for Make It Monday. I used Bee Mine from Cute2Ink. Trust everyone has a great week. I am returning from vacation and frantically getting ready to have company for a week, so keeping this short and quick. 

 My POTW:

God's Little Girl

Happy Friday! Happy 5th Birthday to my sweet daughter!! This little image looks like her hair did when she was about one. It used to stick up in all kinds of angles. So cute!

It's time for another "anything goes" challenge at Sister Act Card Challenge. This week we're being sponsored by Digi Stamp Characters and Close to My Heart. I chose to use God's Little Friends 001. I kept it pretty clean and simple! The paper is from My Mind's Eye and the twine is from American Crafts. 

Isabella Stroller

This is one of those "seriously lacking mojo" cards. I've had the image colored for a couple of weeks, but when it came down to creating the card, I just didn't have it. Must be prego brain. Haven't felt like making anything crafty for a while. 

Anyhoo, I used Isabella Stroller from Bugaboo Stamps. They are sponsoring us at Make It Monday this week. The challenge is anything goes and we'd love for you to join us. 

 My POTW:

Cabio

Her dress is very impressive!

Say Cheese

Hi all! It's time for another challenge Sister Act Card Challenge. I had to pull a card out of the stash this week, so I'm not sure about all the details. Hope you enjoy anyways. Have a great weekend!

Friends In Any Weather

Hola Peeps! Happy Monday to you! 

It's time for another "anything goes" challenge at Make It Monday. This week we're being sponsored by StampArt Design by Kathryne. I chose to use ARI & TOBY I'd like to say this image reminds me of my daughter like last time, but truth is, she's terrified of dogs! I have no idea why. She thinks they're cute, but don't let them get anywhere close to her. It doesn't matter what size. My son, on the other hand, is obsessed with them. Kids! :) 

I used paper from Echo Park and distressed the image with brown ink and stamps from Forever in Time. The majority of the flowers and ribbon came from Hobby Lobby. The "X" bling is from Micheal jewelry making department.
