Aud Sentiments - "Ho, Ho, Ho"

Happy Thursday!

Have you been working on your Christmas cards?  Thanks to all the challenges, I have some done this year!   Well, Aud Sentiments wants to help too!  Over the next two weeks we would like to see you use the sentiment, "Ho, Ho, Ho!"

When I saw this new digi accessory set @ Doodle Pantry....I knew it would be perfect!!

I used Doodle Pantry's Shaggy Cat digi and added a Santa hat, Ho- sentiment, a tall gift & a square gift!  Used the Gimp editing program that I downloaded for free.  easy peasy!

Go Girl!

This is my take on the CPS #89 sketch...I wanted to make a card for a friend of mine and remembered my neglected "Go Girl" image by Catslife Press. It will be perfect for her. I've had the K&Co dp for ages and think it is fabulous with the vintage, yet sassy image.

This week I celebrate my 1 year Blog*iversary! I can't believe how time has flown by. I'll be posting blog candy later in the week so please stay tuned!
Hope you had a magnificent weekend!

Butler Bloom and Campaign for Creativity!

This is my take on the SCS WCMTLCO8-Nested Flower Challenge...just a couple days late...{hi suzy!}. The Butler Bloom is ginormous! The largest circle started off as a 4 inch square. My card use to be a 9.25 x 4 inch base...I used ribbon to act as a stem & leaves for the bloom but I didn't like it, so I cut the card in half. That's what I love about being creative...no rules!

Amy Butler paper is fabulous to work with...the colors are magnificent!

Back to School

Well it is back to school time...so when I picked up this 5 sheet pack of paper for a $ at Big Lots, I knew it wouldn't be long before there would be a challenge using the theme...Stamp Something challenge blog! These funky letters are from Junkitz! The sketch is from Beate's weekend sketch challenge! Enjoy the weekend!

Bloom!

A flower for you!

Enjoy this bloom, sadly our flowers and plants are drying up...we need rain! Though today's temps are only to be in the high 70's. No air condition today!!

The sketch for this card came from Julee's Mojo Monday sketch #50. Papertake weekly challenge wanted us to use stitching. Do you know how hard it is to stitch around a circle, whew!!!! That's why I chose to do faux stitching. hehe So, yes, it's meant to be a little willy nilly, looks more real!!!
The little brown panel is scored if you have good eyes you can almost see it! I was also inspired by Verve's pink & brown challenge. Love those colors together. Have a great day!

Sweet Little Bundle of Joy!

Sweet little bundle of joy!!! Well, I needed some baby cards. This is for a little girl that will be loved on by loving parents and three older lovely sisters! With all that "girl power" in the house, I just couldn't bring myself to make this card pink!!!

The scalloped sentiment is clear embossed and shiny and the wide sheer ribbon has a shimmer also. If you look closely you can see the white gel pen dots along the pale yellow scallop edge...or not! The sketch is from Meet the Verve Diva MTVD07 and the wide ribbon is for Allison's Suggestive Sunday challenge. Thanks for looking!!

CASEing a very talented lady!

Ok, I'm back to reality again! And this is reality in my neck of the woods...the beautiful mountains and meadows of Pennsylvania!!!

The featured stamper this week over at SCS was kokirose. I had some of her wonderful creations in my favorites already, though I still took the time to look through her gallery...sooo talented! For the FS challenge, we are to CASE an inspiration piece from their gallery and change at least 2 things. Well, I'm glad it was only two, because I really liked this one! Here's Patricia's card ! I kept the layout, colors and the image. I used the weathered background which I borrowed from my lovely stamping buddy! (thanks BB {waving})

The sentiment is from so many sayings (SU!). If you're a hunter the sentiment is self explanatory and if it goes to a non-hunter it's a birthday card! Do I know any non-hunters, I'll have to think on that one........blessings for a glorious day!!
