Festive Friends

Hello Everyone !!! I have a card to show you today that just never got posted !!! I was in my edit on my blogger and seen this one back that never published. Sometimes me and blogger just don’t get along. Sometimes I am able to leave comments on blogs but for the most part it won’t let me. Keeps asking me to sign in and after doing this over and over I just give up.

So here is a late posting. I am showing you today Festive Friends from Sugar Nellie.

My card is very CAS, as we all know how much Karen loves CAS. I colored my image with copic’s and used some glamour dust on Santa.

The sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly and I just added some gems to the card and it was done. I am not sure of the papers as they were in my stash from last year.

Well everyone enjoy your weekend. I have lots of chores to get done but while I was messing on the computer and ran across my post not published thought it fitting to get it done.

Thanks for stopping bye and as always sending you Big Hugs ((((((((())))))))))))

With Love

Happy Weekend Everyone !!! I hope you are enjoying your time this weekend. Sorry I didn’t get to make my post yesterday but ended up having a bad day. I think I tried to eat something I shouldn’t of. I guess this is a big shock to my stomach, But it was good going down lol

 

Today I would like to show you a card I made for the sketch over at Friday Sketchers and the color scheme over at Color Create Challenge Blog.

I have used this darling image I got from a dear friend called Bildmalarna these images are coming to the states and I am so excited. I think they are so cute.

I have made a card for Valentines for one of my granddaughters. The papers are last years SU papers. I have used a chipboard heart and covered it with stickles. The leaf and branch punch are from MS and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly and have been punched out with some SU punches.  She is colored with my copic’s and I have used some glamour dust on her wings.. All pages have been distressed with Walnut distressed inks.

 

While I am off I thought it fitting to join in the challenge over at Whiff Of Joy Challenge Blog. It has been ages since I have been able to participate in challenges as much so thought I would take the opportunity to join in again after ages. I have used this Handsome Oakley here as a Dr. The sentiment is from High Hopes Rubber stamps. I have used some older papers from SU (yes I am going to get rid of these old papers by using them up this year.)  The bottom sentiment is from SU and the sentiment on the star is from Sandra’s Digi’s.  I added a calendar to the front of this as it can be used for a desk calendar if so fitting.  The star is a Maya Road chipboard that I covered in glitter.  I have also used copic’s to color him in.

Well that is it for me today. I have some house cleaning to do while the grandson is home since I can’t push a sweeper yet (that ‘s a good thing lol) so need to get my word done and am just going to take it easy on what goes in my stomach today. Don’t want a repeat of yesterday.

 

Thanks for stopping bye dear friends and I so appreciate all your comments. Sending Big Hugs ((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

Hello everyone!!! I am hoping you all have had a wonderful weekend!!! Mine has been just wonderful!!! Plus we are on holiday tomorrow so it is another day off for me ! Yippee!!! I so love holidays that get me out of work lol

I managed to get some play time in today so thought I would show you all what I have done as I have had a nice quiet day here to myself.

This is a card I made for Sunday Sketch and Stamp for there gorgeous sketch they have this week. I have used one of the Morehead images I got awhile back she was begging to be inked up lol I colored her with my copic's and added some of those gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I used the MS branch and leaf punch and also the border punch around the card. My sentiment not for sure about. I got this set of clear stamps awhile back and put them in my holder but never kept the wrapping ( I know shame on me)


Now this card is another one begging to get inked up, I bought this several weeks ago from Susana's Custom Arts and Crafts she is from the Elizabeth Bell collection. I have colored her with my copic's and I added some diamond glaze to the windows. The papers OMG are from Bearly Mine Designs. I went a little nuts getting some digi papers and boy am I going to have to stock up on ink for these papers are just beautiful. I used the gorgeous sketch from Sketch and Stash Challenge. I added some ribbon from my stash and some Prima flowers with some Pearl Brads. I used the MS branch punch around the flowers.
Now look at this image isn't' he just so squeezable??? This is one of the older images from Sugar Nellie from the Little Cotton Rabbits collection this is Dexter the Bear. I am so loving going back to using some of the older images. I love them just as much as the newer ones and the gorgeous images just get forgot about lol He has been colored with my copic's and I used some papers from BG. The sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly and I used some SU punches to punch it out. I added some Pearl Pen to the card in a couple of spots. I also added a Prima flower with a pearl brad and used the MS Leaf punch. On this card I used the gorgeous sketch by Dawny at Paper Take Weekly


Now I have a couple of pictures I would like to show you. This is my granddaughter Kirstie this was taken last week at one of her ballgames. She loves playing sports, I was a bad grandma and forgot to take my camera so my daughter took this with her phone and emailed it to me.

Now here is Kirstie again Friday night, she went bowling for her birthday, I guess she done really good her mommy got me a picture lol. Saturday we had her party at Chunkie Cheese!!! Oh yes I was really dreading going for the last time I went it was in the big city and OMG it was a nightmare but this time it was really quite nice, they have one closer to us now and it wasn't in the huge city so not so many was there but all the kids had a great time.

Well that is it for me for the day, I have had a very busy weekend, I was off Friday also and my grandson had been staying with me so Friday we went out and ate and then went and decorated my parents grave, then got all the yard work done. Then Saturday we were at the birthday girls party most of the day and done some shopping lol

My dear grandson will be coming back next week to stay with me for a few weeks to take Drivers Ed. OMG my little boy has grown up to be such a man!! Seems like just a few years ago I was chasing him around lol They so grow up so fast.

Well enjoy the rest of your day and thanks again for stopping bye. Sending Big Hugs((((((((())))))
