YAY!!

Here is my project for the challenge...

Such fun playing around with all the fun

stuff from My Favorite Things (MFT!

I used SY Polar Opposites for this card!

Anyone that really knows me knows I 

LOVE POLAR BEARS! This set is just so

cute and fun to play with. The images were

fussy cut out after I colored them with my

Copic markers. I raise the framed panel

and the penguins. Then I raised the Polar

Bear. It was a simple card and certainly

makes me smile. Hope you're smiling too!!

Here's my card!

Since I just made it to Florida the 1st of Jan.

this image could be me. HAHAHA! I just 

love Beccy's images and sentiments!

I used Copics and SN TriBlend markers

to color the image. I used daubers and

ink pads to create the scene. I took a shrub

stamp and added some "growth" on the

beach. This card will go to a friend back in

Wisconsin who desperately NEEDS some sun!!

Yup, gotta love Gerda Steiner Designs,

and I do! Another super easy card that is 

just too cute. I colored my sweet little 

kitty with Copic and TriBlend markers.

I fussy cut it out. The sentiment bubble

and sentiment were from two different

companies but worked out nicely with

this kitty and will be a wonderful birthday

card for my cat loving sister-in-law. 

I used some white scrap strips to place

behind the image which is raised using

mounting tape. Easy and fun.

This was a darling little image from SheepSki Designs.

I colored this little chill buddies with Copic markers

and fussy cut them out. I added some white dots and

lines to the hats. I embossed the raised white 

background with snow flakes. Using some silver 

glitter paper I die cut a large snowflake. I added 

that to the embossed piece and attached the

Here's my card!

I have several stamp companies that I 

love...two of them are LAWN FAWN

and the other is Newton's Nook, and 

I used NN stamps, trees are from 

another company, and one of my favorite,

fun interactive die cuts, Platform pop-up,

 from LAWN FAWN. I've used this die 

cut MANY times with Lawn Fawn 

stamps but this time I grabbed

NN and it shows how versatile this die cut

is. The images were colored using TriBlend

markers. This does lay flat and fits envy.

 The challenge this week is sponsored 

by PIP Challenges and they will be giving away a 

$10 Gift Certificate from Sweet n Sassy

NOW...

Here's my card for this challenge:

I used an older SnS stamp set to create this

card for a dear friend. I used the Lawn Fawn

die cut Pivot Pop-up to make the interactive 

part of this card. It made this card pretty simple.

The fun little critters were colored with 

Copic markers. I had lots of layers and that's

basically what took the most time.

sponsors the challenges wouldn't happen.

Be sure to pop over and see all her amazing

sets and ideas! Such a talent! 

Here's my card,

using "Snowglobe Snow Family"

So, I decided to make this fun digi into a

shaker card. Well, as I began to start I realized

that I had no idea how to make one...it's been

too long. Soooooooo, I had lots of screw ups. 

Apparently I found using a digi for this type 

of card isn't as easy as an actual stamp...BUT,

I think it turned out ok. I colored my snow

family with Copics, adding a touch of Sparkle

pen to the globe base. I put some sequins

in the shaker and that was about it. I did have

some shaker cups handy, which helped. 

I will be entering this card in the following 

challenges:

1. Jan's Digi Stamp Challenge for Nov.

(top pick)😄

2. Colour Crazy Craft Challenge 44

3. HLS Christmas Challenge Nov.

Challenge Card

So, here I am in another challenge. It's been

forever since I played along with some but I

have some time this week since I crammed

everything in the past 2 weeks, health wise. 

I am entering this card into:

1. Colour Crazy Craft Challenge A/G with coloring 

2. Creative Fingers Challenge 242 A/G

3. The Paper Funday Challenge A/G with autumn colors

Here's my entry.

I used a Sweet 'n Sassy set for the image,

and the inside sentiment (I forgot to take 

a pic). The "there's no place like home"

came from an old A'muse set. I used

a circle die cut to make a peek a boo spot

for my hot chocolate gal. She was colored

with Copic markers and I raised the 

pattern paper (Circle) with a thick mounting

tape and then raise my little lady.

MFT Sketch #618 Challenge

 Well, I was unable to be creative for my own

PIP Challenge but I was able to join in with

MFT Sketch Challenge #618

Here's the sketch to follow...

Here's my card...

I embossed the white card front and

used daubers to add some ink. I used an

older MFT set, can't remember the name

or if it's even available yet, but I love it! 

I colored it with Copic markers and 

added a sparkle pen to the snow. The 

scarf, hat, and coat were paper pieced.

I heat embossed the sentiment to a dark 

gray tag. I used mounting tape to raise up

the images and sentiment.

PIP Challenge 2245

Another great challenge over at PIP Challenges

with our amazing sponsor

Varada Sharma

VS has such beautiful images! It's 

awesome that she is kind enough to sponsor 

PIP Challenges! Be sure to visit her site!!

Sorry to say, I was unable to prepare a 

card. Minor surgery on Wed. and two

messed up attempts on doing Varada's 

images justice. Apparently my creative

juices are still in la la land. I couldn't 

believe how badly my coloring was/is. 

So, instead of making her wonderful 

image look horrible, I am taking a pass.

Thank goodness for PIP's awesome 

design team.

We REALLY appreciate them!

Here's my card...

When a person has a digi this cute to 

"work" with it's not hard to make a simply,

adorable, easy card. I colored the image with

Copic markers and cut it out. I added some

white "freckles".  I printed the sentiment 

circle and used a circle die cut to cut it out. 

I added the cute little guy with mounting

tape. Final touch, a few enamel dot elements.

This card was made for my 3 y/o grandson's

first day of Pre-3K. He loves school...for now. lol.

Thanks Polkadoodles for creating the

adorable "Study Dude".

Go check them out now!

Here's my project for this challenge...

The Cutting Cafe always has something

for every occasion! All I needed was glue,

scissors, and some cardstock. That was pretty 

much it. I did traced the patterns onto my 

cardstock and cut them out. For the medium

pumpkin I was able to cut 2 of the pumpkin

pieces out of each 12x12 cardstock. I used a

total of 4 (2 different) 12x12 papers. You

can check it out at TCC 3D Pumpkin Template.

I added a bit of twine and some enamel dots.

I did sponge some brown ink around the 

edges of the solid orange, leaves, and stems.

There are three different sizes of these templates

and would make a great center piece!

Here's my card!

This card was made for a friend that is going

through some life challenges and I just felt

she needs some smiles, AND prayers. So,

Lawn Fawn had everything I needed to 

create this fun card. I used "Happy Mail" 

and "Grassy Hillside Pop-up Add-on" die cuts

and "Let's Go Nuts" stamps, and Dies. I die

cut all the items I needed. For the mailbox I

punched a hole through the flag and box and

attached the flag with a mini brad. It does go

up and down. The letter was handwritten. 

I colored the squirrels and nuts with Copics.

Pattern paper was used for the grass. Then,

it was just a matter of putting the card

together. I do think my friend will enjoy the

smile when she opens her mail.
