Colour Create Time

Colour Create Time! For this challenge, yours truly (me) got to choose the colours! Here they are:
So whaddya think? I thought this would be a great combo for Christmas, winter, or any theme! Oh and we have a fabulous sponsor this week - Michelle's Scrapbooking!

Please head over to Michelle's and check out her awesome selection of products! I have added Michelle's to my sidebar under favorite places to shop because I suspect I may be placing an order soon ;-) And you can get details about the prize over at Colour Create.

Here are my cards:

Don't you just love this little image? This little cutie is from Pink Petticoat's Have An Ice Christmas set.


I coloured him on my computer using Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I used a small Spellbinders die set for the flower in the corner. The bottom edge was punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. I added this very huge ribbon for a final touch.


This next card was really simple. I embossed the top half with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder.

I cut the ornaments with the Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge - I cut the base image and the shadow and then layered them. Then I decorated the ornaments with Stickles for some sparkle.
The sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Winter Swirls set.

I added the white ribbon, and secured the bow with some hemp cord - I strung the ornaments on the twine before I tied the bow. Finally, I gotta add those glass beads for some sparkle.

I thought that since I did one penguin card with a digital image, I would do another penguin card using the Cricut machine. This card is very similar to one I made a few weeks ago, except for the colour scheme and instead of a penguin, I used some snowpeople.


For the background, I used some K&Company Christmas paper that had snowflakes and some sparkle on it. I ripped some white paper for the snow at the bottom. The penguin and tree are from teh Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge.

The snowflakes and sentiment are from the Winter Woodlands cartridge.

I added stickles to the sentiment and hat. I also put dots of Stickles all over the snow for a little bit of sparkle - but I don't think it is showing up in these photos.


For this last card, I decided to just make an everyday card using the new Papertrey Ink Big and Bold Wishes set.

I used Nestabilities for the ovals for the sentiment. I also stamped some swirls above the scalloped oval. I just had to use some more of that huge ribbon

Well, that's it for me. Please hop on over to the other design team member's blogs. They have some amazing creations to share with you!

Happy Birthday Card

I needed a birthday card and decided to use the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. Here is the sketch this week:

Here is my card:

I used the Papertrey Ink Sign Language set for the sentiment.

I decided to play with the iTop tonight and make these happy birthday brads for this card. I used a stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps called You're So Sweet. These little stamps fit the medium sized iTop brads perfectly!

I finished off with a bow and some hemp cord.

Red and Green

Lots of fun challenges out there this week. I just got the new Pink Petticoat Ice Christmas set and decided to use it for the following challenges:

Cupcake Crafts: Red and Green
365 Cards Day 275: Red and Green
The Pink Elephant: Color using you favorite medium
Card Patterns: Sketch 43

Here is my card:

Ok - I had a bright idea to sew a ruffle around this image. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped, but I just didn't feel like doing it over. All of the patterned papers are from Pink Petticoat Fairy Lights set.

My favorite way to color my images is with my computer. I use all different settings - sometimes the airbrush setting, sometimes the paintbrush.

I added some hemp cord at the bottom with some glass beads for a little sparkle.

Thanks for Looking!

Old Country Christmas

Moxie Fab World is having an Old Country Christmas challenge. I decided to try to make a winter scene looking out of a window. Since I used so many different Cricut cuts for this card, I am also entering it into the Just Buggin Challenge #12.


The frame and the trees in the background are from the Cricut Camp Out cartridge. I thought the frame looked kind of like an old window, and I inked all over to give it a more aged appearance. I welded the trees to the shadow frame in the back. On the blue background, I stamped some snowflakes and heat embossed with some glittery embossing powder. I also added Frosted Lace Stickles to the trees and branch to look like snow.

The raised branch and the cardinal are from the Winter Woodland cartridge. and I welded the shadow branch to the raised frame. The picture above shows the dimension.


The sign at the bottom is from the Camp Out cartridge and the holly leaves and berries are from Winter Woodland. The sentiment stamps are Papertrey Ink.

Thanks so much for Looking!
