Happy Anniversary

Hello! It's wonderful to see the weekend here...I hope everyone is having a great start! Don't they just fly by? The sun is shining brightly here but it is COLD! And we are looking for our first measurable snowfall this weekend into next week. I do LOVE snow so I get sooooo excited when it is forecasted! Well on to todays card. This card was created for my DIL's grandparent's 50th Anniversary. I really should have used gold in the creation...but didn't. The card was created entirely with the Cuttlebug using the Sizzix Flowers embossing folder and a Frame folder from another Sizzix embossing folder set. The background paper was Bazzill pearlescent. I used the ScorePal for my score lines and added some ribbon and pearls. The sentiment was computer generated. Well, today I hope to play a little with my cricut...I have been neglecting it lately. I hope to have some cards to show you maybe tomorrow! Have a great rest of your day and thanks for stopping to see me!

HUGS!

Snowflakes!

Hello again! Well we got our first snow in the Illlinois Valley last night. Just a dusting but as far as I am concerned...winter is now here! Drug out the winter coat today...thought since I was sick all day yesterday maybe I should bundle up! Feeling better today. So in line with the weather...here is today's card...a snowflake card! Another gatefold design that was embossed with the Sizzix Snowflakes folder....The snowflake is a Cuttlebug Snowflake combo die and embossing folder. And of course last but not least...layers created with the circle nesties. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday...stay warm and thanks for stopping by to see me!

Shy Bear Birthday

Hello again! I played with the Shy Bears again today! I am just amazed at how easy they are to work with...silly me being afraid of a little bear! This card was created for a co-worker's neice who turned 11 this month. The sentiment was created in Photoshop and I colored my image with copics. I used a little chalk to shade the background around the image and then cut it out with a nestie...and layered it with more nesties. The card base was embossed with the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug embossing folder that I had inked with Momento ink. Love, Love those Shy Bears! Hoping today is going to be a little better for me...not feeling the greatest and not sure if it is that I am getting sick or am just reacting to some meds...but not liking it! Hope your day is wonderful...thanks for stopping in to see me today!

HUGS!

Merry Christmas

Hello! Today's card was a fairly easy one to put together but I like how it turned out! Basically this card was all created using the Cuttlebug. The wreath is a Cuttlebug die and embossing combo called Holly Wreath...added a few Stickles to the berries. I embossed the background paper with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Divine Swirls and added a couple of score lines between the two with the ScorPal. Stamped it with a stamp from the Vintage Christmas kit by TPC Studios from Joann Fabrics. The green foil paper is from American Crafts and purchased from Hobby Lobby. Well our weather is supposed to be colder today...and maybe we might see a few snow flurries...winter is coming...just hard to believe cause our weather has been unseasonably mild. Take care and have a great day. Thanks so much for stopping by again to see me...I appreciate all the comments and encouragement!

Snow in Love Dressed Up

One more post today! Well I just couldn't leave this card alone...I just had to "dress" it up a little. I like the way the card turned out a little better now...added a little "holly snow" and some snowflakes. Now I am happy. Hope you all had a wonderful day today...See you all tomorrow and thanks tons for stopping to see me.

Snow in Love!

Morning! On today's card I used an image from the Stamping Boutique that was created by Stef called Snowman Hugs....it is the sweetest image....snowmen...I love working with them!! I used the Hearts Scallopped Nesties to cut out the heart shape and emboss it...I am thinking as I look at this card that it needs a little more embellishment! I may have to work on that and put out another version of this card! Colored with copics and added a few Stickles. The sentiment was computer generated. Hope everyone has a wonderful day today. Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me.

Birthday Wishes

Good morning! Well the last day in a long weekend for me...where did all the time off go? Seemed like the time off went so fast...but I am thankful for what I had. Yesterday I spent some time with Stef... aka Glitterbabe... I enjoyed our visit so much and look forward to our next!
Todays card is one I created on the fly this weekend for my DIL. She had asked me to create a birthday card for her best friend's birthday. She wanted it to be something special...I chose an image from Fred She Said that I had purchased some time ago. The image came with paper piercing guides...I rather like the effect however it was time consuming. I colored the flowers with copics and added some bling with the Clear Sakura glitter pen. The sentiment is from SU and the scoring was done with the Scor Pal...added a few pearls. Today I need to work on a card for a 50th anniversary. Well, enough yaking for now...hope you have a wonderful day and thanks again for visiting me today and every day!

HUGS,
Vicki
