Happy Birthday with Helga Frost!

YAY!!  I got to play!!  My GF's hubby turned 40 so a few of us (including his very own talented wife, Cheri, check out her card if you get a chance) all made him a card using the Kenny K images.  This is Helga Frost.  I love using these images because all I need to do is find some masculine paper and pull out all my Tim Holtz embellie's.  Also....seems I was hoarding them so figured it was time to use more then just one.  LOL! 

Love this little Tim Holtz vial so I filled it with some Earth Elements and glitter.

I'm entering this card into:

MDUC #116

Color Challenge: PINK, WHITE & GOLD

First of all HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!!  Woo hoo!!  Happy to report it took me 6 hours to make this card!!  YIKES!  LOL!  Well not happy to report it took 6 hrs but am happy I am spending time in my craft room.  And I'm not even done yet!  Love it when hubby leaves for the day.  hee hee

So this week at MDUC we have this amazing challenge which I thought I would turn into a Christmas card.  Well pretty much everything I am creating is being made to serve a dual purpose.  hee hee!  So today I paired up Snowman with Star with this snowflake circle frame that I can't find now but I did buy both from Magnolia-licious.  It did make my card image bigger but I just love how it turned out.  And it was a total fluke that I nailed the masking of the two images on the first shot! 

I distressed all layers with gold, added a gold doily, some cheesecloth, a few doohickey swirls, ribbon & lace and the "Snow Flurries" Tim Holtz snowflake border punch using chipboard.  I even distressed that with gold and added crackle.  Looks cool IRL.  Also added glitter for the snow under the snowman and flower soft to her hat.

You should SEE all the ladies creations!  HOLI CRAP did they all do amazing!  So if you need some inspiration please visit the Magnolia Down Under Challenge blog and be ready to have your socks blown off --- I still need to find mine.

Ok so today's challenges I'm entering are:

Simply Create - Something 6 mos or older....my images are a few seasons old but I just LUV them!

The ABC Challenge - Anything Goes - YAY!

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Distressed another one of my fav's!!

Well enjoy your day making cards and blog hopping.  Seems to be a very busy weekend for all that.  I'm off to work on something more now!  

TPS Lil Haunts Review

Last year we had some really great digi creations come from Tickled Pink Stamps but a little late for Kellie to have made up into rubber.  Well now she has RUBBER for those of you who like to get inky!!  Check out all the other cards on her blog for a review of the images and to check out what the lovely design team made up.  I personally just love this line!

This image is Lil Haunts Witch Lylah and she's even on sale right now!!  Be sure to grab up your favorites as these are available for a limited time only. 

I got this idea from Splitcoast Stampers but didn't actually use the tutorial because I was at a crop and went by memory so you should be able to find the tutorial there.
