Candy cane jar

This is for the Scribbles designs challenge blog

I love this stamp image.

I colored the candy up with my markers.  I really like the look of the candy canes with the thin line of red or green beside the thick color band so I colored them like that. 

Reminds me of old fashioned candy in shops.

I filled the jar in with crystal effects.  After it dried, I poked 2 holes in each side of the jar and threaded some twine through tying a bow.

I got the tree paper on the Decosse's Dynamite doodles blog, click the image and head over

I'm also adding this to the Holly Jolly challenge blog

and to the Crafter's Cafe Challenge that the above paper was made for

Happy Fall

I made this card for the Fabulous Fall challenge at the Scribbles design challenge blog.

This is a free image and a matching digital paper.

I colored the leaves using my SIL program and created the title, layer it all in my SIL program and printed it as one piece.

Mason jar card

I am playing along with the Mason Jar challenge at Scribbles (click above to head over)

I actually won this set a while back.  I always want to play along with more challenges but always seem to be playing catch up with design team obligations.  But this summer I've lost some teams due to challenge blogs shutting down...so, I have more time!

 I have always been drawn to mason jars, I can't tell you why, it's just something I really like.

I added crystal effects to the jar after I colored it and then used the tip to scribble through the wet lacquer to create some bubbles.  The old mason jars have bubbles in the glass, that is what I was going for.

So now it's your turn, you still have some time to make your card.

I'm adding this to the I did it creations, challenge of anything goes.

I'm also adding my fox card for the Gerda Steiner challenge because I almost forgot to post him!!

Pretty lady bug

This was a freebie offered by Scribbles Designs

As soon as I saw this image I knew it had to be a shaker card.

Winter wonderland challenge at 12 Months of Christmas

I got a little carried away this month.  I am a big snowman fan so I had to make 3 cards for the challenge.  I also loved the paper that was designed for this month so I wanted more reasons to use it!

My first card I'm showing you is a fun Polaroid card I found on the SIL store.

I kept the colors in line with the digital paper set.  I used the cute Snow Fun image, making it look like it was a photo taken on the cute camera.

I used foam squares to seal the card closed and cut through the layers so the photo can slide in and out of the camera like the real thing.  Don't you love when a vision works out the way you see it in your head?  I am over the moon excited about this card!

For my next card I made a cute shaped card using the Snowflake mason jar.

I used my markers to add shadow to the jar then used 3 different shades of teal to color the snowflakes adding a dot of crystal effects to each center then adding crystal glitter.  

I finished it off with 3 strands of twine.

I added a snowflake gem to the bow's center.

And next, I used the Let it Snowmen image.  The card base is one I got from the SIL store along with the snowflake swirls in the medallion.  

Aren't the papers this month super pretty?  I love them and the colors are great!

I used my gel pens to color the image for some added shine.  I kept the embellishments to just gems stones on the snowflake centers then each corner of the card.

I sure hope you will join us this month so you can get your snowflake paper and win some of these cute designs.

I'm sharing 2 cards I made today using some images from Scribbles Designs. 

This first one was the freebie from this past Friday.

I stacked two so I'd have 4 envelopes.  I used a cute pencil background paper I had on my computer and added real buttons to the envelopes.

This was an idea I saw on facebook recently.  The designer used some splat type stamps to put the yellow in the light bulb, I used a cut file I have and just filled it with color and printed it inside the bulb.

I am adding this to the current challenge here

Let it snow!

Scribbles Designs is our sponsor this month
The optional theme this month is add snow somehow.

I used the Let it Snowmen image.  The card base is one I got from the SIL store along with the snowflake swirls in the medallion.  

Aren't the papers this month super pretty?  I love them and the colors are great!

I used my gel pens to color the image for some added shine.  I kept the embellishments to just gems stones on the snowflake centers then each corner of the card.

I sure hope you will join us this month so you can get your snowflake paper and win some of these cute designs.

So head over and see what the Sleigh Bells have made for your inspiration and get to linking!  Be sure to stop back by on the 15th to see what else I made for this challenge, I'm a little partial to snowmen so I got a little carried away this month!

Heart card

When I saw this image I knew I had to make something with it.  

I had this paper out for another project and wanted to use more of it so I colored my hearts to match the paper.

I think it's a very cool card, what do you think?

It's rare I get to make a card specifically for a challenge, I love when that happens!

Scribbles designs animal challenge

I wanted to show off another one of Emily's creations.  She is doing so good with her cards lately, she's just turned 5 last week.

I made this cute worm card using my SIL program to fill in the colors and created the frame.  I added some Trendy Twine for the actual line attached to the hook.

 He's just SO cute!

Scribbles designs

Emily designed this card, she colored her images and cut out the drink, I cut her card base and the layer, she did the rest and all the gluing.

Here's the card I made using the glass.  Still have to work on one with the flip flops.

Scribbles designs cupcake

Sweet cupcake by Scribbles designs, I used my SIL program to create the whole card front then printed it all out on one sheet.  It takes a lot of time but I love the result!

Besides, it gives me a whole new range of paper possibilities.  I can change the pattern size and colors.

I found another new to me digital stamp company, I really need to stop, lol, I love too many designers.

I could not pass up this Hedgie! I really really want one as a pet, working on the husband on that one by the way.  So here's my celebration card. 

I mounted him on an action wobble and used lots of layers to make it more fun.  The embossing folders I got from Pinque Peacock discount hut, fabulous deals! AND I used a fantastic fabric covered button, it's so soft and comfy, I just run my finger over it, over and over again.

 Here's a shot of the action wobble and a close up of sweet little hedgie.  I used my Cameo print and cut feature to give him his look.

I hope you like this, head over and join along.
