FSS Emma the Skating Elf

Hello to all! I had a pretty productive weekend...both in the yard AND in my room! I had a blast playing with this new image of Tracey's. I used Fred She Said's Emma the Skating Elf  pre-colored image. Isn't she just so cute? This was a really fun image to play with...the possibilities are endless with it! After printing the image, I cut it out with Nestability circle, matted with a slightly larger nestie circle and added some glitter around it to make it festive. I don't know if you can see it, but there is also some clear glitter in Emma's coat and hat. I used the Score Pal to score the white paper in behind the image and an EK Success punch for my border. The gold paper I used was from my stash and the gold flat back gems are from Pizzazz Aplenty! If you have not been out to see Pizzazz Aplenty lately, you really need to....wow what a new assortment of beads and stick pin accessories and charms she has! Guarantee you won't be disappointed! Well, it is late and I am ready to call it a day. Thanks to all of my awesome supporters who have been leaving love...it is very much appreciated. Hope to be back little later in the week or maybe even tomorrow, who knows! Take care!
HUGS!

Doodle Pantry Quirky Penguin

Good morning! We had a wonderful time at the wedding last night...went with oldest son and daughter in law and really had a nice time visiting, eating and dancing! I wanted to get a card posted this morning before I started my day and got busy. Today I am sharing the Doodle Pantry's Quirky Penguin....he is one happy fella and was fun to work with! I used the colored version of the image....and added some Glossy Accents to his feet and beak. The patterned paper in the forefront of the card is one of the two that come with the image set...and so is the sentiment...of which there are several of them as well! This image pack is just packed full of fun! I added one of my own handmade flowers in the corner for a little more fun!
I am so excited to say that I have been asked to stay on with the Doodle Pantry now until February!! WHOOOO HOOOO! More fun ahead! Thanks to Laurie for asking me to stay on and thank you to the awesome Doodle Pantry DT for their warm welcome!
Well, I better get this posted and get on with my day...I hope your Sunday is a blessed one and that you have fun in whatever you do today. Thank you for stopping by!

HUGS!

Wedding Card

Good morning! Busy weekend for us! We have a wedding to attend today and tomorrow hopefully we get to some of the much needed yardwork! We have a huge oak tree in our back yard that blesses us with tons and tons of shade which means it ALSO blesses us with tons and tons of leaves in the fall! And I need to get my pond ready for winter so my outside friends can survive the winter. Just got home from my workout, got a shower and thought I better get this card done while my hair was drying! This is a pretty clean and simple card but does have some elegance about it. The brides colors are black and white so I thought I would go with that...used the Ornate#2 Sizzix folder to emboss the card around the bride and gooms' names, added some black flatback pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty, spritzed with some Sheer Shimmer and that was it! Not bad for a quickie. Well, have to run...hopefully your weekend will be a wonderful one and I thank you tons for stopping in and sharing some of your time with me!

Doodle Pantry Quirky Owl

Hello!!! Well this was one fun card to make! I worked with Doodle Pantry's Quirky Owl....OMG the colors and patterns in this image set are just phenomenal. I used the colored version of the image set but it comes with the outline image as well as the two patterned papers that I used in my design...as well as two sentiments...one of which I used. It was just fun to play with it. The pretty square shaped pink bling is from Pizzazz Aplenty. I also used a different fold for my card and also decorated the inside as you see below:

Please take a moment and visit the Doodle Pantry...there are soooo many fun images to play with I bet you won't be able to pick just one! Hope your day was wonderful...thank you very much for stopping in!

If you have not had a chance to check out the new releases, please do so...they are awesome as always! My card is fairly simple in its design but it turned out to be a lovely card. The image I used was pre-colored, I added the fake "snow" on the birdie's had as well as on the ground. The patterned paper in the background is included with the images pack as well as the sentiment I used! I had tons of fun with this card! Will be back tomorrow with another!

FSS Love You This Much

Good morning! The weekend is here and what a relief. It has been a long work week for me. Hope you all have some fun planned for this weekend. Me...may watch some of the grandchildren but otherwise no big plans...which is good...that may mean some play time! Well todays card is very similar to one I made back in April...it was a requested card for a friend's little neice's first birthday. The image I used is FSS I Love You This Much...one of the colored versions. The red paper I used is from Pizzazz Aplenty...I just LOVE this paper...it is like velvet! The heart frame is my own creation! I designed it it Make the Cut...this is my first time using it on a card and I think I chose the perfect image to use it with! Well, I am off to work out and get my day started...Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by to see me!
HUGS!

FSS The Old Truck

Hello! Quick posting for now...I have been so overwhelmingly busy but had to find some time to create a card for a dear friend of mine. She had asked for a "no frills" simple card for her boss for Boss's Day. Well since he is a man, I immediately thought of the FSS The Old Truck image. This is the most awesome image for a masculine card and the colored images come in several colors besides the brown you see here. I just did a little photo shop and added the sentiment...matted it on brown card stock and voila...very simple "no fuss" card but an awesome card to say the least. I will be back hopefully tomorrow with another creation that was also a request! I hope you have all been well, I need to get caught up on my visiting as I am very far behind. I truly appreciate all the kind words you have left me over the last few posts! Have a blessed day!
HUGS!
