Doodle Pantry Challenge #3

Good morning all!!  Today I have a card I made for the Doodle Pantry Challenge.  All you have to do is use any of Doodle Pantry's many cute images.  Plus, if you enter this challenge, there is a cute freebie set Laurie will send to you via email.  I chose to use the Christmas Birdie set.  I just love the birds that she has in the store.

So with this challenge, my sister Kris and I decided to do one of our "sister challenges".  We came up with a color challenge and here are the colors ...

The colors are red, pink, green and blue.  Any shades of those colors.  So I looked thru my stash of dp and found Basic Grey "Eskimo Kisses".  It was perfect for this challenge.  The sketch I used is from this weeks Mojo Monday...

That's about all for now.  Thanks for stopping by and go check out Kris blog to see what she made using these colors.

Creative Chicks Challenge #23

Happy Monday =)  Today I have a card I made using the freebie from Stretch N' bubbles challenges.  This cute li'l reindeer is free for anyone but hurry cause the challenge ends Tuesday night.  For those who enter this challenge, a new freebie will be sent to your inbox.  Pretty awsome huh!! 

For my card I used dp from Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses and I also used SB nesties Labels Ten.  Thanks Kris.  I used the biggest nestie for my card base and then layered from there.  I love this shape of card, it's different from A2 or square. 

Thanks for stopping by today, have a great week ahead *Ü*

Birthday Clown!

Good afternoon!  As many of you know my sister, Kristine, had a birthday last friday 12th.  I made a card for her birthday blog hop.  But this is the card I sent her in the mail.  I thought it would be nice to send one to her so she has something she hasn't seen yet. 

For my card, I used a digi from klmdigistamps.com.  Kris loves clowns, so I thought she would appreciate this.  I used the basic grey paper pad 'sugar rush' (love that)  and added some ribbon and a flower.  Then I took my clear gelly roll pen and outlined the entire image to give it some pizzazz!!  Buttons and pearls finish it off. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!!  Have a great week:)

Beanie Cap Card Holder

Good Evening!! Today I made a couple of beanie g.c. holders. My sister gave me the idea so I thought I would give it a try. It was a TLC challenge over at SCS. You can use the tutorial I used here.
As you can see, my first picture turned out a bit crooked. But I think it's a fantastic idea and so many different ways to decorated them. I hope you give it a try, they are very easy to make.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a super day!!
