HB2U

Hello all and happy Wednesday. This month my little cousins both celebrate their birthdays. Of course one is in his mid 20's and the other in her early 30's, but they are still "little" to me.

Here is the card I made for Sarah. I really enjoyed coloring all these cupcakes and I added lots of glaze.

The DP is DCWV Nana's Kids, image is Bugaboo (I got lots of goodies with the 50% off sale they're having), sewing, and Opposites Attract Cricut cart for the sentiment (1" for HBU and 1.5" for the 2).

Can you see the shiny goodness? The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC306. It's a great sketch that I'm thinking of using for some Christmas cards. I have so much to catch up on! I'm also entering this in Cute Card Thursday's Anything Goes challenge #138 and Tuesday Morning Sketches Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes challenge #68.

Well, thank you for stopping by and have a great day. Stay warm!

Pink Princess

Hello all and happy Tuesday! I'm sharing a card I made last week but was unable to post.

Faith at Designed2Delight just created a couple super adorable birthday sets. I'm using the Princess set for my niece's birthday...I hope she likes pink!

Here is the inside. Both front and inside have sewing, colored with Copics and Prismas, the papers are unknown, added glaze and sparkle, and Fiskars border punch. This was initially made with a few challenges in mind, but they are already over :( Oh well. Next time.

Music Fairy

Good morning and welcome to Squigglefly Monday! The challenge this week is:

Music To My Ears

At first I was a little stumped but then I just started putting things together. I used different digi elements to create this card:

Background paper is Lindsay's Stamp Stuff music sheet on top of Little Dreamer. The other DP's are Little Dreamer as well. The digi is Woodland Nymph by Chesney Young colored with Copics and Prismas. Sewing, liquid pearls in the corners, and glaze.

I guess I didn't tack the wings down very well because as the glaze dried, the wings lifted...and I think it looks cool. So I hope you will join us this week with your musical creation!

******NOT A CARD********

This weekend Bean and I made the "hand turkey." I traced both her feet for the body, and we cut out lots of hands for the feathers. What's great about this is some day she will see just how small her feet and hands were!

Bean is glue happy, so this will NEVER fall apart! I wanted to keep it somewhere inside, but she insisted it belongs on the outside of the front door. I think she did a great job!

Penguins in Love

Hello all and hope you're all having a great Thursday. So, Bean got her flu shot yesterday, and by last night, she was sick! What's that all about?!

Today I'm using a freebie from Pollycraft:

DP is Pink Petticoat, candy canes are Christmas Cheer Cricut cart cut at 1 3/4" (once regular and once on Flip), image is Pollycraft colored with Copics and Bics, shaded with Chalk Inks, sewing, and glaze.

Got an OK shot of the glaze-y goodness.

This card meets the following challenges:

• Pollycraft Challenge - #68 It's Chill Time
• Sketch and Stash - #47 the Sketch and my Stash is my Christmas Cheer Cricut Cart (I think I've had this for a couple years now and never used it!!)
• Christmas Card Challenges - #48 Candy Canes

Sitting Thanks

Hello everyone and hope you are having a great Wednesday! Bean went for her flu shot today, and I just can't handle watching my baby being hurt. I see that lovely nurse make my baby cry and I want to punch her in the face! But on to something a little more happy:

Bugaboo is currently having a 50% off sale so I picked up a few goodies. I also won 4 free digis in the last challenge (can I get a WOO-HOO?!) so I'm all happy! Anyway, this lovely "brat" does not come with the bench. So I simply put the two digis together in word! My image is colored with Copics and Prismas, and shaded with 4 different Ranger Inks - going for a Fall look.

Sewing of course, leaves are Doodlecharms Cricut Cart at 1", and sentiment is Stampin' Up's Short & Sweet (my favorite set!). Anyway, that's all for today :) How's your day? Working on anything crafty?

This card meets the following challenges:

• Bugaboo - Fall/Autumn Colors
• Cupcake Craft Challenges - #115 Thank you with Autumnal Colors
• Card Positioning Systems - sketch CPS 191

Bugaboo DT CALL: This post also serves as my round 1 application for the current DT call. Here are two more cards for your viewing pleasure :)

Dude and Zipper Tutorial

Hello all and happy Tuesday! Guess what? On one of our radio stations, they are playing Christmas music 24/7. Yup, it's already started. I hate to admit it, but I LOVE Christmas music.

So I got this great little squirrel from Dustin Pike (he has some of the BEST sales ever!), I colored him up and just had him collecting dust. So last night, I put him to use for a few challenges:

DP is DCWV Green Stack, and they have a slight shiny texture, so there's more reflection in this pic than I'd like. But you get the idea. Sentiment is Mickey Font at 1", sewing, and a little glaze.

I see lots of cards with the inside all decorated up, so I gave it a shot...just a little bit tho!

This card meets the following challenges:

• Doodle Dragon Studios - Anything Goes (must use Dustin Pike image)
• Cards For Men - #22 Anything Goes
• Just Cute Bears (Now accepting all Cute Animals) - #38 sketch
• Paper Sundaes - #42 For the Boys

*****NOT A CARD*******
Just sharing a little pouch I made using an online Zipper Tutorial. This was super easy and took maybe all of 30 minutes to put together....I see a Christmas gift idea!!

So this now holds my precious markers when I color on the road. Yup, I take images and markers along with me everywhere I go. I don't do well sitting idle.

Smile

Hello all and Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween. Bean got so much candy that I had to carry her bucket from house to house because it was too heavy for her. She took over once we got to the walkways, got her candy, then handed it off to me until the next house.

I want to share a card I made last week using the smiling giraffe from Designed2Delight:

I LOVE him! I colored and colored until I got the effect I wanted. I went with a simple layout from Splitcoaststampers SC62. The DP is Cosmo Cricket, and the letters are Mickey Font Cricut cart at 3/4". The sewing is a little hard to see, but I did a zig-zag stitch around the edges.

Oh how I was so impressed with myself on how I colored his face. Believe it or not, sometimes I take on certain images just to practice, practice, practice. This coloring stuff doesn't just come naturally to me you know (you can tell by some of my cards! LOL!!).

And just a note, the Double Delight Challenge this week is: EMBOSSING.
