Ooooo, three, count 'em, THREE posts in one month!

LOL, this just tickles me pink! Seriously, my robe is pink...I digress. I am posting today to enter this card into the challenge over at the Jingle Belles blog. Their 15th challenge is a recipe:

1- as white as a ghost

2- a present

3- a bow or a knot

4- a touch of traditional Christmas colors

All of these elements added together= "the ghost of Christmas present"...aren't Steph and Lauren just too clever? Teehee!!

So, my card is pretty simple...I was inspired by Steph's card. My base is white and the embossed layer is white; I went around the edge with a green Sharpie to provide some contrast. The image is a Studio G rubber stamp that I'm sure I picked up in the dollar bin at Michael's. I colored with a red Sharpie and a green ZIG pen. Oval and Scalloped Oval Nesties were used to die cut the image and the green mat, and I attached it with foam tape. That's about it...publishing post now....

Look Ma! 2 days in a row!

Yes, folks, I am back! Can ya believe it? Heehee! Just wanted to add a couple more cards for ya to view. Sorry Carol, they are still from my stash for Christmas! I had the images laying on the desk, all colored up...seemed wrong to let them sit til November! These images are from a Whimsie Doodles set that I just HAD to have! I have more cards made with other images from the set, so be on the lookout! I love these images; they are just so cute! I hope you like what you see! Well, as I type, I am fighting off sleep...and losing, so here goes the mouse toward the "publish post" button...night all!

How-DY!

Did that sound like Minnie Pearl? If it did, that's what I was hoping for! How is everyone? I hope you are all well and healthy. Seems like sickness has been wreaking havoc alot this winter season, but hopefully we are all on the way out of that. My younger DD, Leandra, broke her wrist a couple of weeks ago, so now she is in a light blue cast just past her elbow. We go back to the orthopedist Friday to check the healing progress, and hopefully soon, she can get a shorter cast. So for now, I am helping her shower and dress when needed. She was such a good little trooper thru the whole thing...she had to be put under to have it set; she only got upset right before she went in, asking if I could go in with her. Even though she understood why I couldn't, she was still upset about it, so they gave her something to calm her down. Ahhh, my poor baby!

Well, enough about the "real" world, how about some cards? I have been working on my stash of Christmas cards, and I took and edited some pics today, on my day off (YEA!) These two feature my favorite winter subject, snowmen. The "pink lemonade" colored one shows a cute little scene from Melyssa Connolly of Whimsie Doodles. I can't remember the name of it, nor can I find it on the site, but if you really wanted to know about it, I'm sure Melyssa could help you! I've had the image colored for a loooong time, just waiting for my mojo to come back! The card in blues uses a piece recycled from a card (I think), that was gifted to me by my friend Carol. There are 3 more similar to it waiting on my desk, so be on the lookout for those in the future.

Well, it's late, and I do have to go to work tomorrow (BOO!), so I'd best be hitting the "publish post" button right about now...night all! :)

Hello all!

Just wanted to touch base with anyone who might read my lil ole blog...I'm still around! My FT food service manager position is really sucking the mojo right outta me! I made 3 cards for Valentine's Day that I took pics of, but they haven't been edited yet...hoping to get to it soon! Deep down, I really wanna sit at the old craft desk and make a card or two, but something is stopping me...not sure what that is, but I hope it leaves soon! :( Anyway, just wanted to post SOMETHING...so here I go hitting the "publish post" button....

Good (late) evening!

Just wanted to pop in and share a couple of cards I made (fairly) recently. The ornaments came from a dollar store garland I disassembled. I bought several! The pink scalloped oval is made of foam, and I added some score lines on both cards to accent the sentiment. Not much else to say, really, so thanks for looking and take care! :)

Hello all!

Just popping in really quickly tonight to share another card for the Christmas list with you. This one is made with an image from Softpencil...CUTE digis are found here! Check out Elizabeth's work, if you haven't already!

This image is called "Michu in Santa's Bag". I love it! So stinkin' cute! This is the first time I tried to make a calico cat too...I hope it looks OK!

Well, like I said before, just a quicky post tonight, as I have been up and going since about 3 o'clock this morning...I am TIRED!!!! Before I forget, I am also entering this card into the Creative Inspirations challenge 47. Thanks for looking and until next time...TOODLES!!

Good evening!

I know, it's been awhile. I have to say that Farmville is very addicting. That's all I have to say about that. I HAVE been making cards in my cyber-absence...trying to get ready for Christmas, as I'm sure we all are! I won't post them all at once, cuz that would just take too much of everyone's time...mine too! So, I did make this one last night for the current challenge over at Whimsie Doodles. I know I'm squeaking it in darn near to the last minute...again! I am good at that! Hehe... I can't seem to find this image on the Whimsie site to tell you it's name, but you can tell it's cute! I colored it with Sharpies, Bics and Sakura Gelly Roll pens. And all the other card-making friends are here...Nesties, punches, ink, LOL. Well, best get this linked up for the challenge. Thanks for having a look, and until next time...TOODLES!
