Happy Thanksgiving to you !

I would like to wish each of my blogging buddies here in the US a very "Happy Thanksgiving" and to those of you not celebrating today please have a great day as well.  I am so blessed to have each of you as a part of my life.  Today I will be spending the day with my family at my oldest son's home !  They are such a giving couple as they are opening their home to all of those they know with no family here or a place to go, they did this when they were in the military as well.  So I would ask each of you to just reflect today on the blessings you have in your life, and really look inside to see all the little things we take for granted and shouldn't. 

I also wanted to share the new little man that is in my life....Phillip and Kimmy picked him up for me this past week....not real sure what he is just AKC Mutt :)  No his eyes are not blue but could not get it fixed.

Have a great day !

Snowy says "Merry Christmas"

It's Friday can you believe that it is here already.... I tell you the days are just flying by, it is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next Thursday.  I have been working hard on getting my Christmas cards done, and using up all those pieces laying around or the things I have on hand...a few of us are on a mission not to buy anything new until summer, now that does not include ink, paper to stamp on etc.  I had this little image colored and was trying to decide what to do with her...Snowy is a girl today :) and I knew I wanted to do a mostly white card.  I was looking at the challenge blogs I say this cute sketch on Cute Card Thursday and one of the DT gals Annie had use the embossed snowflake folder on hers so I thought oh my that is perfect for my little Snowy, so here is my take on the sketch.  My image is stamped on Cryogen white cardstock, colored with copics.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.  Snowys ear muffs have fun flock on them and her bells have glossy accents. Her little coat edge is done in puff paint.  Be sure to stop by and see what Christina and Danielle and Rene  have made in their quest to use up their inventory.

Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - #139 sketch
Magnolia-licious challenge blog - pink and yellow
ABC Christmas Challenge - X is for Christmas

Have a great day thanks for stopping by.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

Happy Monday to you all I hope you had a nice weekend.....My card today is for the Magnolia-licious Group they have a new challenge blog where the first challenge is a color challenge...pink and yellow this is not a combo I usually use so this took me out of my comfort zone a little but I am happy with the end result.  I combined it with the Magnolia-lcious Highlites Nov. Monthly challenge where we were to make a shaker card.  I cut my card and all the layers with on my wishblade,  ran the base through the cuttlebug, "Snowflakes" embossing folder then went over the embossing with a light pink chalk.  The next layer raised for dimension a with the acetate shaker box in-between.   The DP is Basic Grey from the Porcelain collection 6x6 pad.  I have used the new little mini  "Tilda in the winter night" she is colored with copics and I have added fun flock to her coat, glossy accents to her shoes and stickles for the lantern. The little snowflakes are from my stash.

For the inside of my card I have used 2 of the Pine Trees colored with copics with puff paint and stickles for dimension.   Another little mini "Starlight Tilda" from the winter collection, perched on the snowy hill colored with copics with stickles on her wings and star.  I chalked my card base in blue, and then added puff paint for the snow edge and then filled in with fun flock.  My sentiment is from a little dollar bin clear stamp.  All of the stamps I used can be purchased here from Diana.  I hope you enjoyed my little card as I had so much fun putting this together.

Saturday Challenge - challenge #109 Sparkle and Shine

Good Friday morning, thanks for stopping by. This is week 5 in our "Use up your inventory challenge" where this week we are using scraps and pieces. I rec'd this cute little hAnglar image in a mingle card...thanks Lone I love her. She is stamped on X-Press It Copic paper and I have to tell you this is my new favorite paper even over Cryogen White. This cardstock is a dream to color on and you can get this paper from Diana at Magnolia-licous. The DP are from Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses 6x6 pad. I have machine stitched all layer except the image. Ribbon, buttons, snowflake metal holiday brad are all from my stash. Senitment stamp is a Studio G little clear stamp. My image is colored with copics. I have added "Polar White" flower soft to her scarf and "Diamond: stickles to her wings. I have followed the sketch from this past week at Friday Sketcher's.

Tilda sings "White Christmas"

Happy Friday ...wow the time is just flying these days !  Can you believe there are only like 50 days until Christmas...yikes and I have not bought anything yet to speak of.
Friday means another card done for the use up my inventory challenge with my blogging buddies, Christine, Danielle and Rene so be sure to visit their blogs and see the beautiful cards they have created you will not be disappointed.  This week our challenge was ribbons and bows.  For my card I have used this cute little "Tilda singing Christmas Carols".  The DP's, image and thick grosgrain riboons are all from a card kit I rec'd from Anglea in a swap at SCS.   The fancy edge frame I cut with my wishblade and the little red polka dot ribbon is from my stash.  My image is colored with copics.  I added puff paint to her jacket edge and hat.  Stickles for her wings and her little winter stockings.  I put some glossy accents on her boots, and some flower soft on the bottom for the snow.
