Fairy Happy Birthday

Hello, so glad to see you today! Wow this week has flown by for me! It is hard to believe it is Thursday already! Today I have a card that I created for a friend whose birthday is coming soon...and she is an avid reader so I wanted to make her a bookmark as well as a card. Decided to make the bookmark a part of the card! The image I used on the bookmark is from Pairie Fairy. It is a freebie she offered a while ago on her blog. If you remember a few days ago I posted some information about the call for a DT and there are lots of sneak peaks of images that will be in her new store. If you haven't gone to see her...please do! I colored the image with Copic markers and added some clear glitter to the fairy's wings and skirt. I chalked the background of the marker and tied a ribbon at the top. The card was actually part of a kit I had gotten from a Lisa Bearnson sample kit. I created my sentiment in photoshop. Thanks to Roberta for the freebie! Well that is it for today...hope you enjoyed your visit. Thanks much for stopping in!

HUGS!

For You

Hello! Well we are getting closer to Christmas! Are you ready? I most certainly am not! Still have to put up the tree and decorate the house but I plan on doing some of that by the end of the week. Most of my shopping is done...but nothing is wrapped. However, I am off work all week next week so I have some "extra" time I would not have had if I had been working so I am not panicking YET! Well, todays card was a real simple card...white card base, layered with gold and burgandy...used the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder for the embossing and cut it into sections. The ornament is also a Cuttlebug die and embossing folder but I am not remembering what it it called. I brayered some burgandy ink on the ornament, colored the top with Copics, and then used some Gold stickles. The ribbon used to "hang" the ornament on the card was from Hobby Lobby. Well, hope your day is wonderful and WARM! Thanks for stopping by to see me, I know you are alll busy busy trying to get ready for the Holidays. I am planning on visiting all of you a little later in the day today!

HUGS,
Vicki

Cricut Happy Holidays

Good frosty morning to you! Today's card was a cricut creation! So simple but it has a little bit of an elegant feel to it. I layered the underside of the cut out front with some gold foil paper from American Crafts and then simply stamped the sentiment in gold. Super simple, quick and easy with the cricut. Today I am at home...took the day off work to help out my DIL and son with the babies. I hope to be able to stop by and visit with each of you a little later on in the day...thanks so much for stopping in! Happy creating!

HUGS!

Season's Greetings

Good Morning!!! Well today's card is featuring some new images from The Stamping Boutique. I did some photoshop and combined a couple of images to get this result. One image is Tracey's Cardinal2 and the other image is the evergreen brances from Stef's A Little Bit of Christmas. Colored the cardinal with Copics and the branches were colored in photoshop. Added a little crystal stickles to the branches to give the card some bling. The sentiment is computer generated using the Adorable font. Stop on over at The Stamping Boutique and check out the new images...they are awesome.

And speaking of new images, have you been to Squigglefly lately???? Wow, you have to go there! Many, many new awesome images there as well. Be sure to check everyday for the Nab It image as well!

Thanks again for stopping in to see me! I will be visiting each of you later on today to see what goodies you may have! Have a great day today.

HUGS!

Season's Greetings

I am sorry for being gone for a day or so....life is catching up with me! I really did not have any time to craft since last weekend...so today, I got busy again! I had an order for about 5 Christmas cards that I needed to fill so you may see a few more Christmas cards from me this week, but after that, I think I am moving on! I have really just about had my fill of Christmas cards for now. Today's card is another gatefold design...embossed with Sizzix Snowflakes folder. The beautiful tree in the center and the sentiment is from the SU Snow Swirled stamp set. I stamped it with VersaMark and then heat embossed it with some silver embossing powder. I used the Classic and Scalloped Oval Nesties around the image. I took my Sakura Stardust clear glitter pen and added a little bling to each of the embossed snowflakes. I think this card turned out rather elegant. Well I sure hope your weekend has been a great one...getting all that shopping done as well as all the decorating? We are getting close! Take care, and thanks for stopping in today...I truly do appreciate all the support you have given me.

HUGS!

Peace

BRRRRRRR! Way too cold here again today! But supposed to get up to 29 by Sunday so that is a heat wave compared to this cold blast. I really have not had much time this week to play so I am glad I was able to get some cards done last weekend! This card was created mostly with the Cuttlebug again...The die/embossing folder combo is called Dove I think....pop dotted a couple of embossed panels onto some silver foil paper....added some ribbon....the scoring at the bottom of the card was done with the Scor Pal and then I stamped and heat embossed the Peace sentiment. I sure hope you all have a great weekend planned...we are going to have 2 of our grandsons tonight overnight and need to finish some shopping for xmas this weekend...gosh I don't even have my tree up yet! Next week! Hugs to all and thanks tons for coming to see me again today.
