Sketch Saturday #76

Good morning!  Well I'm just off to my mom's for the better part of the week as we have just moved and I am commuting for 3 weeks.  I am fortunate enough to not have to stay in a hotel and have the comforts of mom's home cookin'!!  It's turkey day today!!  Woo hoo!  Before I leave for my 3hr journey (not too far hey?  hee hee) I thought I would upload a few of my creations from yesterday.

This one is for Sketch Saturday and cuz I really needed to do a winter card. 


And here is my interpretation:


This cute little set is from Pink Cat Studio.  I colored with Copics, added to Spica glitter to the sled, added Liquid Applique to her fluffy hood and coat then put Stickles over top the applique.  The snowflakes are covered in Twinklets - my newest favorite product!!  I embossed the red cardstock and the white nestie behind them.  The paper is from Harmonie called Poinsetts & Sucre D'orge bought from my LSS.

Mojo Monday 111

So it's been about 3 weeks since I made my last card and yes, I was going through withdrawals!!  I am so glad I had to make a card for my MIL cuz it still may have been longer yet.  Oh shucks I HAD to make a card!!  hee hee  I used Mojo Monday's sketch and a digi image from Sketching Stamper Digi Stamps.  This one was thankfully, a freebie and you can still download it here

I just LOVE these easel cards but I did spend a lot of time on it.  Maybe more then I needed to but I know it'll be muchly appreciated. 

I used Prima flowers, Martha Stewart border punch, MS butterfly punch, which I added dimensional gloss to and used my Copics to color.

I also used some charms & spacers from The Hobby House (UK).   Amazing website BTW!!



AND CHECK THIS OUT!!  My sister sent me a new product called Twinklets.  Everyone is using them for snowflakes right now but I thought it would add a nice glitter to my flowers.  Cute or what?!  I can't wait to try them on some snowflakes!!  Thanks Simone!

Magnolia Challenges

***Later added note - I am such a moron!!  I actually did use the Sketch Saturday #73 challenge for this but didn't remember until after I went to bed last night!!  So, now I will go post with Sketch Saturday because I did like this sketch! 

Today I managed to make this challenge a muilti-functional card.  It's for 2 challenges as well as my sister's (my twin) birthday.  She's banned from my blog until she receives it in the mail!  LOL!!  It feels like forever since I've done a Magnolia challenge and that's just not right!!  :O

Just Magnolia - Bright & Zingy
Magnolia-licious Highlites - Easel card (which by the way is so easy!!)


I colored with Copics and her dress is RV000, RV21 and RV23 (my mom wanted to know).  The charms & spacers are from the Hobby House (UK).  I embossed the white paper with my Cuttlebug folder and then added Stickles for some nice glitz.  I also used a Martha Stewart border punch, misc ribbon, Hero Arts gems,  Doodlebug DP and the new cherry Quickutz.  I used sparkle paper for all 3 different colors in the cherry.  It's so sparklie IRL!!  I really enjoyed making this card but if felt like it took forever then I realized I was just tired and had no mojo.  Must be the weather!!

I am so excited to say this is my first time putting together 5, yes I say 5 challenges!!!  I have really enjoyed making Halloween cards over the past month or so and wish I had time to make more but with christmas around the corner I better get my butt in gear and start making those ones. 

Today's card includes the following challenges:

And now for the inside - yes, I did the inside!!  OH MA GOODNESS!  I still can't get over the ladies who do the inside all the time!  I'm slow enough.  LOL!
