DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS

Well, I am really not dreaming of a white Christmas. I like my Christmas without snow. But the title fits the card. Hi everyone, am I glad that it is the weekend and I have some time for blogging and crafting. I also get to play with my new video camera some more. I have made a few videos and I still need lots more practice. But, you can get to them by way of my side bar.

The card stock is Bazzill, the DP is handmade paper from the Paper Studio, the image is from Digital Doodling by Wendy, it was colored with copics E31, E33, E15, E18, E29, R24, R27 R29, RV04, YR04, W05, W07, diamond stickles. Senitment is from Recollections. The bling is from my stash. I do love that pink with the red and silver.

Black and White

Time sure goes fast when you are having fun. It is already 2:16 pm. I am finishing another card. I have gone out and ran a few errands. While I was out. I found that a chair I had been looking at for my living room had been clearanced out. It was marked down 1/2 price. I was so excited. I had been watching these chairs for months and they never even went on sale. Today I walk into the store and they are half price. What could I do. I only had enough money to get one today. I bought the chair and came home. Did I tell you how much I love a bargain. The moral to the story is never buy something the first time you see it. You can always get a better price.

Now, don't forget, tomorrow I will be posting my blog candy.

I have a new card and of course it will be entered into several challenges. I do love a good challenge. The image is from Digital Doodling and was drawn by Wendy, Wendy gives a lot of freebies on her blog. and Now she has blog candy. Go by and see her. I love her images. Can you believe that I found to challenges with the same requirements. Black and white plus one other color. The first is over at Die Cut Dreams and the other is Pixie Dust Studio Challenge. The next challenge is at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge oodles and oodles of flowers. I think I got that covered. Digital Tuesday to use scrap paper. Well I have more than enough scrap paper to many cards so that was easy. Next is at Stamp Something pink something. well I have pink.

The papers are from my scrap stash, the card base is Paper Studio. The image is Digital Doodling, onthe black paper, I ran it through the Cuttlebug embossing folder the argyle and swiss dots. Although you can't see that in the photo. I distressed the edges of the image just to tone down the white. the flowers are from my stash. and the pearls are Martha Stewart, I bought them on clearance. Michaels seems to be clearancing out a lot of her stuff. I used my fancy tags fo the sentiment spot. I have not decided what occasion I will use this card for yet. I used a Martha Stewart leave punch for the leaves. Well that is it. Now here is my card.

I would love to hear what you think.

COOK BOOK PAGE

Hi all, I have a very short post this morning because I am busy creating but, I wanted to add a new cook book page for my sister's cook book. I am so behind and I guess it is good that she will be working on this project, also. The image that I used is from Digital Doodling this is not for any challenge, how weird is that. I always have a challenge. Well, not to worry, that is what I am working on. The paper for this is Bazzill, Basic Grey and something from my stash, I am not sure where it is from. I colored the image with my copics and the popped up cupcakes are Martha Stewart. The letters are from my scrapbooking stash. I hope she likes this.

One More Christmas Card

Wow, I can't believe I've finished one more card this week. I am on a roll. This card is a Christmas card, I actually thought that I was finished with Christmas. But, not quite. Next week is my departments Christmas party and it is given by the department head at her home. She supplies all of the food and gifts for dirty santa. The food is really good and the dirty santa game gets really interesting sometimes. We always take up a collection from everyone in the department and buy her something really nice. I volunteered to make a card instead of giving her a store bought card. Well here it is.

Another thing, this card is for the sketch challenge at Pixie Cottage this week. The image used is called Mrs. Tilly Claus and was a freebie from Digital Doodling by Wendy. Thank you Wendy. I hope that you like my take on Tilly.

I used my Copics to color Tilly with. For her coat and skirt I used BG18 and BG72. For the fur around the bottom of the coat and the muff I used W1, W3 and W5. For her hair I used Y21, E25 and E31. Skin I only used E21. and for her shoes I used E25. The snowflakes and ground snow I used crystal stickles. The paper was all bought specifically for this project, the colors are teal, aqua, Turquoise. You see, I colored Tilly before I knew which papers I was going to use. I know this is backwards but it worked. The paper that I matted the image with is a pearl green glitter paper from Walmart, which comes in a pack of maybe 20 sheets for $8. One sheet of glitter paper at Hobby Lobby cost $1.99. The bling and flower are from my ever increasing stash. The ribbon is about 2" wide, sheer with silver along the edges, it had wire in it and I removed the wire because it was easier to use for this project. It has teal, blue, turquoise and silver circles on it. It was given to me by a friend who had used it for one of her projects.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think of Tilly.
