12 Days of Christmas Contest! Catching up on my posting...

Day 1!
Paper Craft Planet is hosting a 12 Days of Christmas contest. So here is my card for day one. It is very simple because I completely forgot about the contest and had about half an hour to come up with a card if I wanted to play along. As you can see there is no stitching, but I did add liquid applique with glitter for the snow. So it is not complete simple. I think it looks pretty! What do you Think?


Day 2: Two Turtle Doves Day 2! My layout is from Jen del Muro's Sketch for You to Try this week. Becca Feeken's is the guess designer for this month. Please visit Jen blog to see all the amazing sample that the OCC girls and Becca has for you. I don't have a turtle stamp but do have the dove from my Peace on Earth stamp set.

Day 3: Three French Hens
Todays Feature Stamper is the super creative Dawn aka Flowergal36. Her creations are all awesome, it was hard to chose one card but I settle for this card, because it work with my card for PCP 12 days of Christmas challenge and today is day 3. You all know how the song goes, well it is French hen turn and I only have one French Hen, so I stamp him 3 time and got 3 French Hen. lol! I did however flip Dawn card to work with my image. I add crustal effects to my glass to make it look real.

Beautiful Willow!

This is the layout that I use for my card! It can be found over on the Whiff Of Joy Blog. Heather is the creator of this awesome sketch for this weeks Whiff Of Joy Sketch Challenge #9. Thanks Heather for a great Sketch!



Last night I was up late trying to upload this card, but for some reason Blogger will not upload it. I was very tired and was getting frustrated, so I just went to bed. Well I try this morning and it work, guess blogger was having problem last night. Anyway I love the layout and wanted to give it a go. I only have 3 Whiff of Joy stamps(Hope to add some more to my collection soon). My image was a little too larger for this sketch, but I think it looks ok. What you ladies Think?
I made the flowers using SU punches and smudge them with ink, wrap them into a ball, open them up and then layer them. I like the way they look. I add twinkling H2O to the pretty dress for a shimmer look. Isn't she beautiful!

I am on a roll....

I made this card with Jen del Muro's Sketch for You to Try.... Be sure to visit Jen at i{heart}2stamp, to see Jen's sample. Her guest designer Becca Feeken's sample, and also what the rest of the SFYTT comes up with! Thanks for sharing Jen.
I got this new stamp from Our daily bread Designs and never used it, so I decided to ink it up for this sketch. I like it when you smudges ink on the card how it look, so I smudged the edge of the card with borcade blue ink to give it a distress look. Now my fingers are all blue lol! (Note to my self, wear glove when smudging ink) :) I like how this card turn out. I think that even though I did not used a lot of accessories(Pearls) it still look great. You know me I can't live without my pearls...lol!! I think I did well without them on this one. What do you think!!


This next Card is for Fresh and fun weekend Sketch Challenge #67.


I am on a roll with these Sketches!!! Not very often I get to play along with so many sketches.. This is my card for Beate Weekend Sketch challenge . I started making this card last night and didn't finish it until today. I guess I am missing the snow more that I think, because all I want to make is cards that has some sort of snow team on them. My SU snowman stamp is get used after sitting around collecting dust for about a year now lol! It was fun inking up this guy. I add some glitter on the bottom for my snow. My colors was also inspire from the Inspirational Challenge over at splitcoast. This was a fun card to make. My girls love it when I use glitter, because the get to get some to put on their arms. Little girls and glitters I tell you! They even try to used my Clear Embossing powder and then they would asked, mommy why it is not sparkling! Then I will have to explain why it is not sparkling and then comes the BUT WHY question... You know how that goes....

IC155 Oh let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

I always look forward to the Inspiration Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers. I don't always play along to all their inspirational challenge, but love to see what the girls comes up with. They have an eye for these stuff .
I just love the colors of this room. So I made my card with some of the colors in that room. I wanted to make something snowy, because we don't get snow here. Not that I miss the snow, but if would be nice to get a little of it once in a while. Remember I told you that my Stampin Up stamps are begging to get use!!! Well I decided to use these darling little girls playing in the snow. This is the first time I am using this set. I made the glittery snow on the bottom of my card with crystal effects and glitter.

I decided to make a Bag in a box, instead of a card. I never made one of these bag before and don't know why, because they are super fast to make and cute too... As you all know my crafty piece will not be finish without some pearls lol! I don't have any chocolate laying around beside M&M (except for those two Snickers,and I think my bag need more than 2 Snickers) so I fill my bag up with M&M, tie with with some ribbons and there it is.

Beautiful garden

So.... I woke up this morning checking out Splitcoast to see what the Way to used it challenge is, and guess what it is PEARLS... Really Pearls!!!! I think that Julia was thinking of me when she posted this challenge. (Pearls is my middle name lol!!!, not really but it should be). Almost all of my cards have pearls in them.
I decided to use my Stampin up bear stamp for this challenge. You see all my SU stamps are collecting dust. (I can hear them at times say use us please, please, please use us lol)!! I did not want to over do it with the pearls this time, so I just used a few on the bottom of my cards.. The little flowers has glitter in the center, but it is not capture it in the picture.

Guardian Angel Prayer

Today's Color Combinations challenge, CC193 over at Splitcoast Stampers is Red, Krafty and Black. I don't have Kraft card stock, however I do have Bazzill Basic Bling card stock and when you turn it over, the other side is matt and it looks like Kraft card stock a little. So guess what I used for my kraft paper, Bazzill Basic turn over on the matt side. I guess now I will have to order some kraft CS.
This month is the US Marine Core Birthday and so it is Ball time. Today I saw this girl in a beautiful red gown. When I get back home I see that the Color challenge is also red, so I decided to used this Angle with her beautiful gown colored red.
I also made this card for Julee Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. Her Sketches are great. Thanks Julee for all the awesome sketches.

Once upon a time.......

Hi, Thanks for stopping by!!!
I had this card sitting around for well over a month now unfinished. I finally decided to put it together. I still think that it need something more, but I have no idea what else to add. I just don't want it to look too crowded, but at the same time I don't want it to look too plain either. What you think?
This card was made using the Stair Step Fold technique over at SCS. As soon I see the technique I knew I want to used one of these stamp, Stampin up or Lizzie anne, I ended up using both sets for my images.. I attached the fold technique to the front of a 5 3/4" square card. I add some glitter on the Princess gown and Rhinestone on her Crown. Princess has to have her jewels you know!LOL!!! This card took me forever to make, because of all the cut out I did..The Castle is layer to give it a 3D look.

Recipe:
Stamps: SU Dreams and Dragon & Lizzie anne designs
Paper: Watercolor, Blush Blossom, River Rock, Blue Bayou, Porcelain prints
Ink: Black.
