Just Because

Over the past few months, while heading to my craft room, hubby has jokingly asked if I was going to make a card for him.  Not sure if he was really joking or not so I decided it's probably time and maybe I should make him one.  For no reason but just because.  I know some of you have seen me use Heidi before but here she is again.   I put Liquid Applique on the foam and also Glossy Accents on the beer mug.  It's quite refreshing!!!  LOL!! 

Also found this neatest embossed felt to do the CHEERS sentiment with.   A little fun for no reason.............just because.  :)

Sketch Saturday #129

Had to join up in Sketch Saturday's challenge this week and pair it up with this lovely fellow from Dustin Pike's collection.  Isn't he hilarious?!  I laughed out loud the first time I saw him.  EGADS was certainly not the first sentiment that came to mind but I wasn't sure of the recipient so figured I better keep it PG rated.  LOL!! 

I turned the sketch upside down, which is probably how the toads world is going anyway.  LOL!

I haven't put anything inside the card yet but have lots of ideas in my head.  If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!!   Thanks!

Dishwasher Magnets

Aren't these the cutest?!!  I saw one on Silhouette America, although it was a bit different then this, and thought I MUST make that!  I decided to put the ribbon on for a bit of a handle.  I find when I try to grab a magnet off the fridge and don't have nails, it's somewhat difficult.  So, you just yank on the ribbon, off pops the magnet and turn it around accordingly.  APPARENTLY some people I live with (hubby & the cat but I won't say which one) doesn't want to take the time to see if there is dirty or clean dishes in the dishwasher.  LOL!!  Well I'd like to make it as easy as possible for the dishes to go IN TO the dishwasher. 

I used my biggest nestibilites for both magnets.  The top magnet has Bo Bunny paper and the bottom magnet has vinyl and both are covered with lace snowflake flocked vinyl I cut with my Silhouette.  Then I added the finishing touches!  VOILA!

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!
