Warm Hugs

If you live in the north east, Warm Hugs is exactly what you need, that and some hot chocolate wouldn't hurt either. Earlier today it was sleeting which then turned into large slushy snowflakes and by rush hour it was horrible out. No dance class for my daughter Gabby tonight, it was cancelled along with any after school activites.

This Snowbunny Bella is perfect for the weather today. I wish all of you could see just how glittery this card is IRL, I used dazzling diamonds on her hood and any other fur trim and on the snowflake with the clear rhinestone brad.

Supplies: Snowbunnybella, Warm Hugs - Stamping Bella, The snowflake is from the Season of Joy Stampin' Up set, Swirly wheel, Ribbon, Linen BG (on the Soft Sky), Rhinestone brad, Dazzling Diamonds, Pop dots. Colors: Lavender Lace, Elegant Eggplant, Soft Sky and Whisper White.

If you're livin in a cold climate - think warm thoughts :o)

WSC33 & CC152

This is just a quick post before I hit the hay, its 11:33pm and I told myself that I was going to try and start getting to bed earlier (ya right). This card is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge and the color challenge over at splitcoast (I killed two birds with one stone, not that I'd ever kill a bird). Lately I've been feeling really run down and the past two day I've had a sore throat, I kind of feel like I wish I could be a bear and just go sleep in a cave for the rest of the winter. I'm going to have to put on some sun glasses and lay under my Ott light and pretend I'm on a tropical vacation.

Supplies: Priceless, Polka Dot BG, Swirly wheel, Itty Bitty BG, All in a Row, Fundamental Phrases, Word window punch, Ribbon, Flowers, Rhinestone brad, Black brads, Piercer w/mat and pop dots. Colors: Ballet Blue, Real Red, Apricot Appeal.

Thanks for looking!

The Last Two Pun Fun

OK, I think I'm all Pun Funned out, as much as I like cute its time for me to move onto another stamp set. These cards are the last two cards that I've made from this set and if youve been reading my blog you'd know that my mission was to make a card with every stamp in the box (mission completed). Hopefully I've challenged some of you to do the same, maybe pick a stamp set were you've only used one or two stamps in the box and make those cards girls!

The details: the You're a blast card up top I used my Canvas BG and stamped the Always Artichoke and used the Itty Bitty BG stamp on the Bashful Blue. I cut out the main part of the rocket ship and popped it up and then colored the whole image with my Watercolor Wonder crayons (I've forgotten how wonderful these crayons blend, thanks Nicole)and added some dazzling diamonds. This is a great color combo for a masculine card. The cat card to the right I stamped my Polka Dot BG on half the Certainly Celery along with the dotted scallop from All Scallops set and used my Nestabilities die for the cat image. I cut out the cats head and popped it up for more dimension and colored it with Rose Red.

PS Bloggers spell check isn't working and I'm the worst speller ever so forgive any mistakes please.

Shoe Box Swap Thank You

This was my card for today's Stampin' Up meeting that I had, we did a shoe box swap which means that you bring all of your supplies cut and ready to go in a shoe box and then all of us demonstrators move around the tables and make each others cards, kind of like musical chairs except you make cards too (and we don't play music). These meetings are always informative and fun and usually get your mind over flowing with Stampin' ideas. The card I made for the swap I thought was fairly simple, I didn't want to do any thing to complicated since there was only so much time to make everyones cards.

Supplies: A Little Bit of Happieness, Weathered BG, Slit punch, Taffeta ribbon, Linen thread, Eyelet. Colors: Always Artichoke, Mellow Moss, Kraft, Sahara Sand. I used Stampin' Up watercolor wonder crayons to color the leaf image.

Thanks for visiting!
