The Elves are hard at work.....

It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas...OK so Santa's may be doing well but I am not.I am so far behind on my Christmas cards.I  always aim to be done by Dec 1st ,haahaaa ,not happening AGAIN this year ! !

Any way you may have guessed ,this week at Scrap-Creations our challenge theme is

CHRISTMAS

How easy is that ! ! You probably already have a big stash going !

Now all you have to do is link it up!!

So a little details about my card...This cute little elf by Mo Manning /Penny Black.If you did not know ,Penny Black now has Mo Manning images in clear stamps.

I used papers from Little Yellow Bicycle.I am a big fan of plaid,in all colors.LOL

I added some flowers and bling.Those cute little charms were silver but I used alcohol inks on them to change their colors.

Here's a close up of the image.. I really tried to color the ball to look more gold than yellow....not much success.LOL

High Hopes Number Challenge

Today is my nephews 6th Birthday,so I stepped away from my Xmas cards to make his.This adorable little "dude" dragon is from High Hopes Stamps .Our challenge over at High Hopes Challenge is to use NUMBERS.

Now you can use numbers a multiple of ways...on your paper,chipboard embellishment,stickers..oh so much more.Our DT has amazing inspiration to help get you going...do go check it out.

As you can see I used a THICKERS number sticker onto my embellishment.I also covered in stickles to give it a little somethin'. My Papers are from Echo Park,I wanna say Summer Days,not sure though.LOL

Close up.............

Snowfall Friends

I gotta say I just Loooove Whipper Snapper.This image just sucked me in.You can find it and my card at Creative Accents. I also love this paper line from Bo Bunny. Yep gonna be using it a lot.Browns and Blues...one of my favorite color combos.

I colored up this pair with copics...my one and only coloring medium ! LOL.There's no other way to go ..for me that is...I have tried many others and this has been the best investment for me.That's what i keep telling my husband..an investment hun ! ! I do use them continuously ,they don't sit on the shelf begging for attention.They are not just for coloring images but you can color gems,flowers and much more!...ok enough sales! LOL

Here's a close up...

And here's a close up of my "cluster ? "...I used Maya road snowflakes,Prima flowers & gems, as well as Wild Orchid Flowers... there is a strip of ribbon under there somewhere.

He's from High Hopes Stamps.I teamed him  up with Authentique's papers.These are sooo not Christmas or snow papers but I think it worked. I just love the blue and brown combo. I promise to use some other colors. 

I also used High Hopes mitten border stamp in the corner.They are so quick to color and easy to cut out.I bought these cute clothespins and just had to hang those mittens. Those cute wood snowflakes were covered in Picket Fence distress stain and the spritz with a blue Smooch Spray.

Ok I got a cute close up of the liquid applique ,...had to show.

It was her birthday.I admire Teddy Bo images so much,yep I'm a sucker for cute.And these are soooo cute.You'll be seeing more of these in the future. 

Today I used this cute elephant.Now I have to admit I started to color the wings,which I thought were ears.As I was coloring and looked and thought to myself....6 ears what the heck?? LOL So I corrected my confusion...much better ! !Still kinda giggling.

My papers are from Authentique. Some flowers ,ribbon,brads and there you go.

Whoop- Dee- Doo

Hi sorry I've been away for a few days...but I have cards to show you this week.Today I'm showing you a Birthday card that I made for my husband's friend.They have this very smirky and smart-ass relationship.So I used Simply Betty's stamp and teamed it up with some sentiments from Hero Arts and Graphicat Designs.

I just love the look on this guys face...

Looks real excited eh?...bahaahaaa

 Now I have been playing a lot with Twiddleybits chipboard.This time I inked up these gears with Metallic ink and then I used Ultra thick embossing powder...BUT look at the effect it did.I sooo did not plan that  but holy smackers is it ever cool ! ! ! !

Here's the inside sentiment from Graphicat Designs...LOL Just tops the card off ! !

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by...

You're my Treasure..xoxo

Good morning ...This week at Scrap-Creations we are going sentimental.

We want to see SENTIMENTS as your main focus on your card.

My card definitely a sentimental card as it is a sympathy card .My Aunt passed away a couple of days ago so I've been trying (and I stress that) to make my family cards.It has been a lot more difficult that I had anticipated. I've never been a fan of making these cards but even more now.

On my card..a few details...papers and sentiment are from Kaisercraft. The swirl chipboard and butterfly is from Twiddly?? something.Sorry can't remember as I'm typing.I inked and spritzed them up. I wanted this card to be that simple and elegant type.

Hope to see you join us for now..

Take care.
