Let it Snow…………….

I am still busy making Christmas cards, they seem to be taking me forever to get done. I will be working on something a tad more simple to mail to my friends. I just had to use one of my favourite companies, House Mouse and it’s a Gruffie, which is a cute bear, I think he is just adorable. You can find them HERE.

Here is what I used

Stamp…..Gruffies Beary Fast Sled

Ink….memento tuxedo black

Card stock…..Pacific point and GP white

Embossing folder……Sizzix from SU

Accessories …stickles diamond, Liquid pearl white opal

Colouring medium….prisms and oms

The fabric snowflake and blue rhinestones are from last year’s supply.

I am entering this in House Mouse & Friends challenge Let it Snow

Thanks for stopping by today and come back again soon. Check out Clear it Out and Use it Tuesday the challenge is for all of December

Friends Forever

I am so excited I have a chance to join  the Use it Tuesday  challenge blog as a guest designer,  the theme is “All about Love” and to use your hoarded stash. Now I love House Mouse stamps and what better to use for the theme than something that you love. The image is Snuggle Bunny featuring Muzzy and friend, it was coloured with prismas and oms, I added a few dots of stickles to the flowers. I don’t have any idea where I got the lace from, perhaps a rak from a friend, but I have been moving it around my craft table for weeks, finally a project to use it on, The other hoarded stash I used was the 5 year old designer paper and the pearls. You know how it goes when you are out shopping if you really like something you tend to duplicate it a lot. I really don’t need to buy any more pink  pearls.

It’s all about Winter!!!

At least that is what it says over at Use it Tuesday, the challenge is to use your stash and create a project that is all about winter. Now my image was  has been hanging around for over a year, I know there is one that is coloured as well but that one hasn’t surfaced yet. With the exception of the base of the card everything I used was from my scrap pile.  I used white flowersoft on the snow and the toque. The tub/sled was coloured with a clear spica glitter pen.  Here is what I think winter is all about and today we are getting the snow to have fun in.

Yea for the Blue and White

The challenge at Use it Tuesday is to make a project using your stash with the colours of your favourite team. Have a peek at their blog it’s a fabulous site and you don’t have to go out an buy anything new, just use your stash.

I live in South Western Ontario and have always cheered for the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team (there are not a lot of us left) and for the Toronto Blue Jays (baseball). There is not a thing on my gift tag that is newer than two years in fact the gold cord was still in the package, (I have red as well) and has to be at least 6 years old, the place I bought it doesn’t exist anymore.  This was a very quick project, I used scraps from making my Christmas cards and largest plain nestability circle but the white base (you can’t see) cut half circles of the two dp attached the ribbon and stamped the phrase with Brilliance Mediterranean blue.
