Sassy Cheryl's

So I thought I discovered a cheater way of making christmas cards.  Visit Sassy Cheryl's and HOLI COW you can find all kinds of already colored images!  But I discovered that it takes me just as long to actually MAKE the card especially when I do crap like this.  Well, not to say it's crap it's just ..... well.....did you know making gorgeous simple cards is a talent all by itself?  Ya, I didn't possess that one.  Me and my freakin' embellishments!!  Jeeps!  But I like them anyway.

This image is called Single Box Top Snowmen.  Aren't they fun? 

Friday Sketchers #128

Well not much to say about this card other then that I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers below.  I LOVE that they have a sketch a week!!!  I did turn this sketch sideways to try to fit my image.

I did add 2 rows of pine borders to follow the sketch but added another row of Barbara Trombley's Elements "Earth Textures - Roots" to give it a more woodsey feel.  Is that a word?  

SBC #6 - Thanksgiving Place Cards

So our challenge this week at Simply Betty Challenges, is place cards.  Thanksgiving place cards that is.  Now here in Canada our Thanksgiving has been over for about a month BUT I still really enjoyed making this little cutie!

I used SBS "Thanksgiving Jude" digi image.  ha ha ha FEATHERS?  REALLY?!  Oh ya, that was so funny.  I adhered them once but came to my scraproom to find them on the floor slightly chewed on.  Cat!  Bugger!  I did a mini-easel, added a little rafia, an image and a few feathers and VOILA!  DONE! 

I hope you can join us this week at SBC and please check out what the DT's did this week. Leave some luvin' if you have time.  Oh and don't forget there is always a prize!

Attitude Award

Apparently a number of people think I have attitude.  WTF?!!

Thanks to my creepy friend Gloria, 

My Canadian friend Nicole and

Carol my Granny friend

but ALLLL wonderful card creators, among other things!!

Before passing this on, one of the rules is you have to tell people 3 unknown facts about yourself soooooo:

1) I can't drink coffee with caffeine.  I know, then it's not coffee.

2) I try not to let the different foods on my plate touch before I eat it.  That's gross ... but my sister is like that too.  LOL!

3) I hate being awake after my husband goes to bed so I go the same time he does.  Makes me feel really lonely.  I know....odd for many of you who find that's when your making your cards is when hubby has hit the hay. 

Now I get to pass this along to 5 more people with attitude:

1) Cheri

2) Tanya

3) Chris

4) Catherine

5) Carla

Ummmm apparently I have mostly only friends that start with a "C".  WHAT?!!
