Girls Can't what??

I made this card for a girlfriend and now that I know she has it,I can now show you.She is a big fan of Steampunk,so when I saw this Kenny K image.I knew it was perfect.

This image took me forever to color.Well because I accidentally made it so large.After starting to color,it was then that I decided to just go for the top portion of the image.lol. I then surounded the image with the Gears Spellbinders. That fabulous sentiment is from Graphicat Designs.The papers are from Graphic 45 Steampunk collection.

Here's some close ups....Oh and I added some glitter from Stampendous.

I cut out some more smaller gears out of grungeboard.I used distress stain(vintage photo)and then sprayed with Perfect Pearls mists(bronze).

I'm entering this card into a couple of challenges

Simon Says Challenge-Anything goes
Inky Impressions Challenges-Dies/Punches

Paper Sundaes-Anything goes

Thanks for stopping by.....

Today at High Hopes Blog ,We are showcasing some ideas for around the house.I made a table setting that's great for winter.All my images are from the new release.I went with your non typical colors browns and blues.....

Here is a close up of the sour cream container that can be filled with candies or treats for your guests.I used the mitten border and some coredinations cardstock embossed with a snowflake folder.

Next up is the place card,I used the snowflake border again for the background.

This is the front of the menu....love that snowman!!

Inside of the menu,I meant to print out a sample menu on some vellum to

place over

the snowman image.

And finally this is the napkin ring.I actually didn't use the entire image .Less coloring to do if you have a lot of guests.lol. 

So that's my quick and easy place setting that can be used over and over.You must pop over to Karen's blog,she has made an outstanding table setting for fall... Do check out High Hopes blog for some more fabulous ideas from the rest of the DT !  !

Well The first day of school has happened.It was a weird feeling seeing them head off  but mind you ,a good one! I can't believe my oldest is graduating this year..my middle is in Grade 10 and the youngest is in grade 3 already.Where does the time go..it obviously passes me while I'm in my craft room.LOL

So anyhow I wanted to show you some cards I made awhile ago but forgot to post.It's kinda nice to have something to post when you don't have anything else made.lol.

This first card is a Whipper Snapper image as is the sentiment.The second card is a Kraftin`Kimmie Image.If you like what you see,you can find these cards and stamps at Creative Accents.

Thanks for stopping by.I am working on some more projects,I just took some time off to spend with the kids before they went back to school.Now they`re back I can get BUSY ! !
