Holiday Gnome

Good Morning!

Happy Monday! Can you believe only 1 more day and it's December!? I have yet to do any holiday shopping either, yikes! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend if you celebrated Thanksgiving. It was another weekend that flew on by. Before we know it, Christmas will be here!

And speaking of Christmas, I have created another holiday card to share with you today. I still have quite a few I need to make for this year's Christmas list, so you'll be seeing more holiday themed cards in the days and weeks to come. How are your holiday cards coming along? I find them to be some of the most fun to create.

This is a Whiff of Joy gnome which has been colored with Copics and then framed with Oval Nesties. I have used some Bo Bunny papers and then added faux stitching with a white gel pen to all the red card stock layers. The final touches were some polka dotted organdy ribbon, a tag with a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Winter Letter Seals set, more ribbon, and flowers.

This card also fits the challenges at:
Scrappy Frogs - Christmas
Ellephantastic  - red and green
One Stop Craft - Christmas cuties
Our Creative Corner - make a tag
Totally Gorjuss - trees
Crafty Catz - Christmas
Daring Cardmakers - spots and stripes

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you have a great afternoon!

Wedding

Hi All and Happy Monday,

This is going to be a quick post today as I have loads to do and the kids are begging to go outside. Hope you're having a good day.

Stamping time has been little lately and I want to apologize in advance for not blogging much lately either. I don't think I will be posting too much over the next couple of weeks either, sadly. We have been working hard at Whimsy on some fun things, that I can't share yet, and with the kids home from school my days are less and less my own. Hoping to find a new normal soon!

This card was created with a Whiff of Joy image that Erin kindly shared with me. And I CASEd her idea on the flower soft details from the card she posted HERE. The image was colored with Copics and then I distressed the edges and added some stickles. The papers are K and Company and I've sewn the edges on the machine. I finished off with some ribbons, a charm, flowers, and a sentiment from Whimsy Stamps.

This card also fits the challenges at:
Friday Sketchers: sketch
Secret Crafter: girlie
The Pink Elephant: ribbon and sparkles

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great day!

Happy Stamping,

Happy Stamping,

Lilac and Lemon Angel

Morning!

Hope your day is off to a good start...it has to be better than mine! I started the day by getting peed on by our cat! It was his turn to visit the vet and apparently he was pretty upset about getting in the pet carrier so he peed on me and the kitchen in the process. Oh so much fun! Then it was off to the grocery store, another one of my favorite ways to start the day! If anyone has any tips on getting the cat pee smell to go away, please share! I cleaned everything before I left, but I can still smell it now. Ahhh, the joys! With the way this day started it can only get better from here, right?!

I created this card yesterday afternoon to play along with some challenges. I started with this sweet angel image from Whiff of Joy.

I colored her with Copics and added some white gel pen highlights and then some Stickle accents. The papers are new from my local craft store and fit the Lilac and Lemon challenge at Papertake Weekly. I would have never thought to use this combo on my own, but I love it! So soft and feminine. I've used the sketch from Friday Sketchers and then embellished with some flowers. I think this card is perfect for Spring, so it also fits the challenge at The Pink Elephant.

I hope to get some time to craft this afternoon, while my corn beef dinner is slow cooking. By the way Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope you have some fun things planned with family and friends to celebrate. Have a great afternoon!

Happy Stamping,

A Sketch and a Touch of Spring

Happy Friday All!

Hope you've had a good week! It's been another busy one here. Thanks to all who took part in our Whimsy Stamps Magical Mythical Tour blog hop! Love to read your comments and reactions to our new stamp releases. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Stamp Something

First, today I have my Stamp Something card for our new challenge "Touch of Spring Somethings" sponsored by Whiff of Joy. I've used a WOJ image and some SU! papers for this card.

I used the sketch from Everybody Art Challenge. The image was colored with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen. I embellished with brads and a jumbo eyelet to fit the metal challenge at Cute Card Thursday and then some flowers and ribbon. I also did some faux stitching with a white gel pen to fit the challenge at Crafty Creations.

Just Magnolia

Next, I have my card for the new Just Magnolia challenge which is a sketch from our talented designer Jay Jay. It's a really simple sketch to use and will work great with lots of different images. I had a lot of fun with this one, thanks Jay Jay!

I've used BasicGrey Origins papers with yellow, olive, and chocolate card stock. My image was colored with Copics and highlighted with a gel pen. I used the Martha Stewart Lace punch for the edging on the green layer. Used oval Nesties to frame sweet Tilda and added faux stitching accents. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps framed with some metal hardware. The final touches are Prima flowers and ribbon, and hemp twine with a charm.

Thanks for dropping on over today! Hope you have a great Friday and a fabulous weekend! Happy stamping! :)

Winter Fun

Hi All!

Happy Thursday! Another week just flying on by, where does the time go? I've been busy with stuff around the house and errands, but I made some time this morning to squeeze in some stamping!

I wanted to make a card just for the sake of making a card. It was nice to stamp for fun! I did use a few challenges for some inspiration though.

I wanted to make a holiday card now that I have this fabulous Eskimo Kisses paper from BasicGrey. You can get some too at Paper Maniac! I just love the pretty colors and they match really well with some of the SU! cardstocks. I used Razzleberry, white, and Pink.

I've embossed the white layer with my snowflakes folder and then added some shimmer with my clear Spica glitter pen. It's not very easy to see in the photo though. I've distressed all the edges of the paper to fit the challenge at Charisma Cardz. I love distressing, so this challenge was right up my alley. The layout is from this week's Our Creative Corner challenge.

I embellished with a felt die cut snowflake, some Prima flowers and gems, and some hemp twine and a snowflake charm. The sentiment is from SU! and I've framed it with my oval and window punches. This card also fits the challenges at Creative Card Crew, to use scallops, Everybody Art Challenge to use punches, LaLa Land which is winter and Christmas, and Whiff of Joy challenges to use a WOJ image and dies cuts.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a great afternoon. I'm off to clean up the house now, fun times! Happy stamping! :)

A Sketch and One for the Holidays

Good Morning All!

Hope you're having a great week. We've had a good one so far and today is ballet day with my daughter which always makes for a fun morning! All those cutie pies in pink from head to toe!

I have two cards to share with you today. One is for my GDT with Whiff of Joy Challenges and the other is for some DT work with Doodle Palace and Paper Maniac.

Whiff of Joy GDT

This is my last card as a GDT with Whiff of Joy Challenges. I want to thank everyone for having me, I've really enjoyed designing for the challenges with these sweet images.

This week's challenge is a sketch by the wonderfully talented Rach! It's a fun sketch, but I did change the oval to a circle. I don't have any Nesties for layering ovals, boo hoo. I've used these K and Company vintage papers with flowers. I also created my own patterned paper with the bluish layer and some Layers of Color stamps in flowers and hearts. I embellished with Prima roses, metal flowers, ribbon and a charm, and gel pen faux stitching.

Paper Maniac/Doodle Palace

This is my Doodle Palace/ Paper Maniac card. The image is Bearly Santa from Doodle Palace which is available now for downloading. It's been colored with Copics and then I used a bunch of fun products available from Paper Maniac to complete the card.

The paper is Imaginisce Polar Expressions which is double sided and some of the pages are complete with glitter. It's super cute and really nice quality! I've paired it with some SU! cardstock in Olive and White. I embellished with some silver brads, grosgrain ribbon, and a couple buttons. This card also fits the Christmas challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar. You can see my card ingredients and all the links to these great products at the Paper Maniac store below!

Thanks for dropping by, have a great day. Happy Stamping!

Card Ingredients for Teddy Santa:
Stamps: Doodle Palace Bearly Santa digi
Paper: Imaginisce Polar Expressions, cardstock in Olive and White
Accessories: Ribbon, silver brads, and buttons Tools: Adhesive, Copic Markers

Whiff of Joy Recipe

Good Morning!

Hope you are all having a good week. It's been OK here, but we are dealing with sicknesses at our house. I'm hoping a good scrubbing will send the germs packing! Nothing fun about sick kids or a sick mom!

I did make some time for crafting last night and created this card for my Whiff of Joy Challenges GDT spot. This week we want to see you create a project with our recipe of 3 patterned papers, 6 brads, and 2 flowers. You also need to use a WOJ image to be eligible for any blog candy.

I used some Lemonade papers from BasicGrey and paired those with the sketch from The Pink Elephant. The plain pink paper has been stamped with Layers of Color Polka Dot Love stamps to create my own patterned paper.

I've used this sweet Henry mouse image and colored him with Copics. I also used some sparkly embossing powder to create the shimmery frosting on the cupcake. This fits BasicGrey Challenge this week to use BG products and embossing. I've embellished with 6 silver brads, 2 Prima flowers, a button, and piece of ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today, head on over to WOJ Challenges and play along with us! Happy stamping! :)

Paper Maniac DT and Whiff of Joy Challenge GDT

Hi All, happy Wednesday!

Hope your week is going well. Things are still quite busy here, but hopefully after I get into the swing of a new routine things will quiet down. Today I have two cards to share.

Whiff of Joy Challenges

First is my Whiff of Joy challenges GDT card. This week the challenge is a color challenge to use orange and teal and of course a Whiff of Joy image on your creation.

I chose to use this sweet Angel image and colored her with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen and glitter pen. The papers are some I found in my stash, retired ones from SU!. I used my circle Nesties to frame the image and added some ribbon and Prima flowers with silver hardware and buttons to embellish.

This card also fits the challenges at Kaboodle Doodles of charmed creations and Creative Card Crew's Fairy Nice Day theme.

Paper Maniac

This card is for Paper Maniac DT work. This week our focus is on using ribbons. I grabbed this pretty ribbon from my Paper Maniac goodies and paired it with this Unity flower stamp set. I've added some embossing which I did with my CB and embossing folder and I've sponged some ink on the edges and to the image. The papers are BasicGrey Offbeat with SU! cardstock. I used StazOn ink and SU! ink on the image. The sentiment is from the same Unity stamp set as the flower.

Don't forget you still have time to enter the Paper Maniac challenge which is to use embossing on your project.

Thanks for dropping on by today. I hope to have some time very soon to drop by and visit all of you. Have a great day, happy stamping! :)

Whiff of Joy GDT - A Sketch

Good Morning Everyone!

If you're like me, you've just dropped little ones off at school and are just now getting to your duties for the day. I meant to have this post scheduled but last night was a busy one. My little boy just started the First Grade today, it was an exciting, but sad morning too. This summer went by way too fast and now we just miss him! Here's hoping for a quick day!

Today my card is for the challenge at Whiff of Joy Challenges where for the month of September I'm going to be a guest designer. I am very excited about this! I so enjoy using my WOJ stamps and I love a good challenge, so it's a perfect combination. Plus, all the WOJ DT members are just super talented so to be able to work with them is a great honor!

The challenge today is a sketch created by the ever talented Bev Rochester. It is one that I know I will use again too. Here is the sketch to follow and remember you also need to also use a Whiff of Joy image.

For my card I used this sweet shy Willow image and colored her with Copics and highlighted with a gel pen and glitter pen. The papers are K and Company with natural tone cardstock. I've distressed all the edges, which I really LOVE to do! The distressing also fits the challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar this week.

I've embellished this card with a Martha Stewart lace border punch, some organdy and gingham ribbons, brads, Prima flowers and roses, metal hardware, and a strawberry charm. The sentiment is also WOJ and has been framed with my EK Success oval punches.

Thanks for popping on by today. I hope you have a great day. I'm off to keep busy hoping for the time to just fly on by so I can go pick my baby boy up from school! Happy stamping! :)

A Whiff of Summer

Hi All!

Hope you are having a great day! It's been busy here again. I think once school starts, things will start to go back to normal. Just so much to do before school begins!

I have a card that I wanted to share which was created using a few challenges from this week. It's been tough to combine challenges this week as there are so many sketches, but I was able to find a couple!

I used the sketch Everybody Art Challenge and the papers are SU! cardstock in Pink Pirouette, Purely Pomegranate, and Old Olive and the designer paper is BasicGrey Lemonade. I chose a Whiff of Joy image and added some bling to fit this week's WOJ Challenge. And last, I created some paper flowers with my circle punches to fit the C is for Circle at ABC Challenge.

Thanks for coming on by today. I'm going to get off the computer now though as it looks like a storm is coming! Hope you have a great evening. Happy Stamping!

For My Friend

Happy Wednesday All!

Another week of our summer almost over! Hope you are having a good week. I know I'm already looking forward to the weekend. It's been super hot here and hopefully it will cool down a bit by the end of the week.

I created a card for fun and challenges today. I've been busy lately with DT work and other stuff, so I just wanted to make a card for the fun of it. Sometimes you just need to stamp but for no other reason than to stamp! I'm not sure what I'll do with this one, but it works for a friend card.

I used the sketch challenge over at Whiff of Joy challenges to do the layout for this card. I went with a purple and green color combo, which is one of my favorites. This week PaperTake Weekly is celebrating it's 100th challenge and you can choose your favorite challenge to submit for this week. I don't remember the number of the challenge, but a few weeks ago the challenge was to use your favorite colors. I used Eggplant and Amethyst cardstock with Wisteria BasicGrey papers.

The image is one I received from a friend and it's been colored with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen and a Spica glitter pen. I chose this image to fit with The Pink Elephant's Summer themed challenge.

I embellished with some Prima flowers, buttons to fit the ABC Challenge B is for Button challenge and then grosgrain ribbon and gingham ribbon with a charm. The sentiment is from Whimsy's Simply Said sentiment set.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'm off now to have some lunch and relax a bit with the kids. Have a great afternoon. Happy stamping! :)

Whiff of Joy and a Couple More

Hi All, happy Wednesday!

Hope you're having a great day. This week is flying right on by again! It's been super humid here in NH and we've been stuck in the house dodging monsoon rain and thunderstorms. We're hoping for a break soon. Today is also the birthday of one of my friends and I just wanted to take a second to wish her a wonderful day! Happy Birthday Janna!

I have a card to share today for a few challenges. To start, I used the color combo challenge and image to fit the Whiff of Joy challenge. This week they wanted you to use Pink and Brown. I haven't made a card with this combo in a while so this was a great challenge. I dug out some old BasicGrey Bittersweet papers and SU! cardstock in Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and Pink Pirouette.

I received this sweet image from a swap I did with some friends. She's been colored with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen. I also added some glitter to her hair with a Spica pen. This sketch is from Truly Scrumptious with the added challenge to add bling. I got these cute little pink dangling gems from EllenHutson.com and thought it worked perfectly as bling. I've also added a couple rhinestone brads for a bit more bling. This card also fits the challenge at ABC challenge which was A is for Anything Goes. I finished this card off with some felt and paper flowers and grosgrain ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a great afternoon. Happy stamping! :)

Paper Piecing with Whiff of Joy

***If you are interested in trying out for the Whimsy Stamps Design Team, please click HERE for more information....TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO APPLY!


Hi All and happy Friday!

We have a fun new challenge posted today on Stamp Something and it's an easy one with a super cute blog candy prize! This week we want to see your paper pieced somethings! And one lucky participant will receive a brand new Whiff of Joy stamp that Katharina has kindly donated as our sponsor this week! Head on over there now and check out all the details of the challenge and the beautiful creations by the design team.

For my card I wanted to use the color combo of green and purple so I grabbed my Wisteria paper pack from BasicGrey and then my image and started piecing!

I colored the non paper pieced areas of the image with my Copics and highlighted with a glitter and gel pen. The layout is from the challenge at A Spoon Full of Sugar. I used the cardstock colors of Elegant Eggplant, Mellow Moss, and Almost Amethyst from SU!. I distressed the edges of my paper with scissors to fit the challenge at Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is from SU! short and sweet.

I embellished with Prima flowers, flower soft on the image, and a jumbo silver brad. I also added some stickles to the wings of this sweet angel. All the flowers fit this week's Whiff of Joy challenge. And lastly, this card fits the challenge at Cute Daisy May, which was friends. I plan to send this card to a friend today in fact.

OK, well, have a fabulous weekend. Hope you'll join us this week and play along with our Stamp Something Paper Pieced Somethings challenge! Happy Stamping!

Exciting News and a Card

Happy Sunday All,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I don't typically post on Sundays, but that is going to change. I have some fun and exciting news to share, I have been asked to join the design team at Pile It On! challenges! Of course, I said YES! I love challenges and I'm honored to work with this talented bunch of crafters!If you don't know about Pile It On!, head on over there now and check it out. They are a fun weekly challenge site which posts new challenges each Sunday. What makes Pile It On! unique though, is that not only do you need to use the PIO! challenge, but you also need to incorporate other blog challenges into your entry. Basically, challenge yourself to see how many challenges you can add to one project! Fun right! The only stipulation is that the combined challenges need to be current challenges for them to count in the Pile It On! challenge.

This is my first Pile It On! design team card. I used the Pile It On! challenge this week, which is to use at least 3 different embellishments. Then I added the challenges at Whiff of Joy, which is 3 papers, 3 flowers, and 1 ribbon, the color challenge of Guava, Chocolate, and Sky at Color Throwdown, the sketch from Sketch and Stash, and the challenge of a Stitch in Time from Cute Card Thursday.

I used this Willow with Umbrella image and paper pieced her pants and top with some Soft Sky designer paper and colored the other areas of the image with Copics. The umbrella has been paper pieced with chocolate and guava designer paper. The card stock is Groovy Guava and Chocolate Chip from SU! with other retired designer prints. I embellished with felt flowers, flower buttons, a flower charm, stitched ribbon, grosgrain ribbon, and some faux stitching with a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by, now what are you waiting for, get piling those challenges together! Then head over to Pile It On! challenges and check out the fabulous DT samples and play along with us! Happy Stamping!

Something Yummy

Hi All!

Happy Thursday to you, I can't believe this week is almost over. Good thing too, I'm in need of a weekend!

So while my daughter was coloring this morning, I decided to do some coloring of my own and made this card.

I used the sketch from Whiff of Joy challenges along with the challenges of "something yummy" at Charisma Cardz and "quotations" at Cute Card Thursday. I definitely think strawberries are yummy and I was very excited to be able to use my new strawberry charms from Quixotic Paperie and this cute Whiff of Joy image, which I received from Erin. Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries! And the sentiment is from Whiff of Joy.

The papers are retired Stampin' Up! designer prints and some Real Red and Bashful Blue card stock. I also added an embossed layer of vellum. I distressed the edges of some of the papers and the vellum. The embellishments are a felt flower and metal accent with a paper rose, some organdy ribbon, rhinestone brads, and finally a strawberry charm tied on with gingham ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy the rest of your afternoon and evening. I'll be back tomorrow with a new Stamp Something challenge, see you then! Happy stamping! :)

Oh and if you're looking for something yummy, check out the fabulous birthday blog candy Erin has up for grabs!

Many Challenges....

Afternoon!

Hope you're day is going well. It's been beautiful here and I've been gardening with my daughter, but now we're back inside having lunch. I had some time earlier today to make a card for some challenges and wanted to make a quick post to share. I'm hoping to head back outside later and continue the gardening.

I created this card using the challenges at ABC Challenge, Whiff of Joy, Cupcake Craft, Papertake Weekly and Color Throwdown. The challenges were Q for Quilt over at ABC, use charms at WOJ, use fairies for Cupcake, a sketch at PTW, and lastly the colors of green galore, pink passion, and chocolate chip at Throwdown.

I used this beautiful angel image from Whiff of Joy which I received from my friend Marcea. She's been colored with Copics. The challenge at Cupcake was fairies and I think this image comes close, she does have wings! The papers are all BasicGrey with some SU! card stock. The colors aren't exactly those from the Throwdown because I wanted to create a softer look. The accents are stitching to qualify for the quilting at ABC and then some ribbons, flower embellishments and hodgepodge hardware with the final accent of a Thank You charm to fit WOJ.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'm off to the backyard. Enjoy your afternoon! Happy stamping! :)

Whiff of Joy and Sketch Saturday

Morning All!

Hope you're day is going well. I have a busy morning of house "stuff" and then some errands and appointments later. I did make a point to play along with some of the card challenges and had me some stamping fun last night though! :) I'm hoping to have a chance to stamp later today too.

This is the card I came up with for the challenges at Whiff of Joy and Sketch Saturday....

The Whiff challenge this week was to use blue and brown and over at Sketch Saturday they are celebrating their blogoversary with lots of great prizes! Be sure to check out both of these challenges!

I used this sweet image that my friend Erin stamped me and colored her with Copics. This little one is on her way to someone special too! The papers are SU! Parisian Breeze and some Kraft, Chocolate Chip, and Baja Breeze card stock. I just saw too that these pretty papers are being retired and soon! ACK! I better stock up!

The accents are some taffeta and organdy ribbon with brads and different floral embellishments. The sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy and I got that from my friend Marcea! I tell ya, swapping images is lots of fun! Although now I think I need some of these stamps! LOL!

Well, have a great day! See you again tomorrow, I hope! Happy Stamping! :)

Shabby Chic Cupcake Sketch

Happy Tuesday All!

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Things have been very busy at our house. Catching up after vacation, doing house work and laundry, running errands, etc...I feel like I haven't stamped in forever! I did make some time today though.

I found the sketch on Cupcake Craft Challenge and paired it with the theme of Shabby/Vintage over at Stamp with Fun. And this is the outcome...

I received this beautiful image from my good friend Marcea. We traded images a little while back and this was just one of many I received from her. Thank you Marcea! :)

I colored the image with Copics and highlighted with a white gel pen. Her wings have been dusted with Elmer's glitter glue.

The papers are all SU! including the new Parisian Breeze DSP. I just love this paper, it's not only beautiful but it's also textured! To create the shabby chic details, I distressed the paper edges, made some tears, and then stitched it to another piece of DSP which was also distressed. The accents are a Taffeta and lace ribbons and Prima flowers paired with felt flowers and paper roses. I got the pretty vintage frame at a scrapbook convention this past weekend.

Thanks for popping on over today. Don't forget to enter for your chance to win my Birthday Blog Candy prize! Have a great afternoon, happy stamping! :)

ETA: I plan to give this card to a friend who is recovering from a recent surgery, so this card also fits the Whiff of Joy friendship challenge. :)

For a Friend

Afternoon All!

This is going to be a quick post. I've caught another nasty cold and am feel a bit under the weather at the moment. I was hoping getting up and moving around would make me feel better, but that's not the case. I do hope you're all having a nice Wednesday though!

I created a card this afternoon for the Whiff of Joy and Cute Card Thursday challenges. Both of these challenges wanted you to create a card for a friend to brighten his/her day. I have just the friend in mind and so this card will be for her.

The images are from Whiff of Joy and the papers and most of papers and embellishments are Stampin' Up!. I used Copics to color the image and highlighted with a gel pen. Sorry for the brief description, but I need to go lie down now.

Have a good afternoon, thanks for stopping by. :)
