Its time

There is no more denying it, its time. The parkas and mittens are pulled out from their summer storage and the weatherman has become my least fav person(although he is very handsome). 8:19pm tonight I plan to be fast asleep so I do not see sight of the first flakes. Yup its that time again so with that I bring you my first christmas card of the year.
I used an adorable digital stamp I found on free digital stamps (I am sorry I am not sure whom its by)
I inked my fiskar embossing plate before embossing
I used KutUpsFont(scal) for the bracket
whole lotta pop dots to make it pop
also some Purdy ribbon I picked up today at dollarama for the bow.

Please stay safe and warm :)

Lotso

Good After, today I bring you this card I made for a 6 year old girls birthday my ds is attending this weekend. I dont know the girl real well, ds was less than helpful, so going with the theme that I got her a toy story toy and a toy story gift bag I made this toy story card, Yes I chickened out and did the easiest character of them all, man some of those guys have alot "parts" However I am just returning after a major loss of mojo so I didnt want to push myself too much =) 
Lotso is scal
Cuttle bug swiss dots
Skittles for bling

My Last DT Project for Cardabilities

I am sad to be bringing you my last reveal for Cardabilities, I really did love being apart of this AWESOME group, with wonderful sketches to work with each month. I decided not to stay on with Cardabilities not because I didnt enjoy it but because I know how exciting it is to be accepted onto a design team and after two terms with Cardabilities I thought it was time for someone else to feel the honor.
So here it is!!! my last reveal, but dont worry I am not leaving the cardmaking world and will be posting plenty now that I am home alone 3 hours a day WHOOOOHOO!!! I will just have to come up with my own ideas from now on HA!!! Could get interesting stay tuned lol. I made this card for my dd to give her teacher on the first day of school, I digital stamped the bingo card---if you were paying attention I used it before on a LO ;) I cut the apple with SCAL, border is a cheap knock off I got for $2 :P "September" is a rub-on. Papers I do believe are K&Company, but who really knows I am not that organised to actually know that.
Thanks for visiting
and before I sign off today I want to thank Cardabilities and its wonderful DT for having me. It was an honor and privilage playing with such a wonderful group of young ladies :)

Cardabilities #6

End of June already??? Are the kiddies driving you nuts underfoot already???
Well if so take a break visit Cardabilities for this weeks sketch. The DT has once again come up with some great inspirtation for you this week.
Here is my take on this weeks sketch, a simple Grad card for my DS who graduated kindergarden yesterday =)
I made a svg file from one of Dustin Pikes digital stamps LOVE HIM!!!!
Leave it to weaver punch for the border...see you dont HAVE to use it with ribbon
Papers and "the graduate" sticker I just found in my stash from various companies, I thought worked well for this card.

Please swing on by to Cardabilities to see this weeks sketch, see what the other DT members came up and play along. Dont forget Mr.linkey is there because we want to see what you create too!!!

Thank you Teach!!!

Today I have to share with you all this pencil shaped thank you card I created for my DS to give to his teach as he says goodbye, it servers not only as a thank you and enjoy your summer but a good luck as well as she will be taking a new journey no longer as a kindergarden teacher come the fall. We will miss her greatly especially seeing as DD would have been entering her class in Sept.

I created the pencil shape with SCAL
Scallop shapes are from 09KutUps a free font you NEED if you have SCAL
Stamp is from Studio G

scrap-ivor 2

we were challeneged this week to either be inspired by animals or some forever 21 jewlery, I choose the jewlery. This LO is of me, boy the things I would tell that lil girl if I could the things I would warn her of, to reassure her that it will be ok. When I picked these pictures I knew exactly where I wanted to go with this LO just needed a sketch which I got from got sketch? blog. The bottom two pics are close ups of the bling around the U and the fuex pleating.

any occasion

I had no intentions of making anything tonight but earlier I was "playing" and this card just seemed to make itself. Its been awhile since I used mineral spirits which once upon a time I loved but now with the rage of copics I am not too sure I am feeling it anymore, what do you think? are mineral spirits "out"? or I am I making excuses to go shopping? ;)

Definition of a man

This is a very important LO to me as it is one of the only pictures I have of my grandfather who passed in 2006. I like it but I don't know if it got everything that he deserves. Hmmm gonna have to sit on this one and think about it for awhile.
Journaling reads "while I have had many of men to look down upon, there are a few that I look up to" Everything is digitally stamped and CTMH papers. I used Got Sketch's Sketch # 69 thank you got sketch for the inspiration.
