Jingle Belles Rock Pink Christmas for the Cure ~~ Take #3

This is my third card for the Jingle Belles Rock Pink Christmas for the cure!!! I love this challenge and I love making pink Christmas cards!!! I also love snowmen and snowladies so this card has a snowman on it. The image is a digital image from Stamp Art by Katheryne sold through Whimsy stamps.

I like pairing pink with lime green and I have used the sketch portion of Fusion Card challenge

Snowflake embossed background and one of my very favourite Warm Winter Wishes stamps. 

Finished inside with the rest of the patterned paper and a scrap of pink..

Shopping Our Stash #325 ~~ Walking Dead

What are the odds that I'm on two design teams that picked Zombies back to back!!! Maybe I should be buying a lottery ticket. teehee.  It was Chris's fault!!! never the less the Challenge at Shopping Our Stash is the Walking Dead in other words Zombies.  Well Google and Pinterest took another beating for an image to use and this one looks familiar as to the creator but I really don't know for sure who it is, thank you very much if it is someone you know\s art work.

The image was fussy cut and elevated on the spider web. The patterned paper is from a halloween pack I have had for a couple of years. 

not too much of a spooky image but that spider is a little terrifying 

The sentiment is from a large sentiment stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps there are 21 Halloween sentiments on the stamp which I kept intact and just cut out what I want to use. 

Finished inside with a computer generated sentiment

Thanks for stopping by today and check out the SOS crew's inspiration then dig out those ghoulish stamps and enter the challenge.

Pink Christmas for the Cure take 2!!!

My favourite challenge of the year is the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas for the Cure.  I love the theme and love making Pink Christmas cards and they are always well received when I send them.

Lots of scraps for this card, I made one earlier using the snowflake die from Hero Arts and at the Butterfly Moon in Lyndoch we have been taught how to use the negative of a die and that is what I have done here.  Another very CAS card (what is happening to me?) the glitter paper was a scrap out of my scrap box, the Merry Christmas is an Impression Obsession die. I am not fond of a lot of "white" space so I had to make a couple of corners out of the glitter paper.

I almost made it into a shaker card but I really didn't want to cover up any of the gorgeous 'glitter.  I did use a scrap of acetate to attach the snowflake to and then I added strips of foam tape for depth.

Finished the inside with an Impression Obsession Sentiment.

Last year I squeezed in 6 cards and hope to match or exceed my count this year. My first card I made for Lauren since she tells me I have to do all the colouring and she will do the collage work!!!

It's a Musical Happy Birthday!!!

Today is my Grandson's birthday he was born right after Thanksgiving day 21 years ago!!! I remember it well, I was there and it was the most fabulous experience I have ever had, and I won the guess the weight challenge. Okay enough reminiscing on to the card!!!.

Mack is very musical and can play most instruments you give him so I had to make a music related card. it's very simple, An embossing folder and a Happy Birthday music sentiment.  I used the stitched alpha dies for his name. Both the happy birthday and his name were cut twice and layered to give more dimension. 

Carrying the simplicity and the musicality to the inside just a die cut guitar and a simple sentiment.

I sure hope liked it.

Z is for ZOMBIE!!!!

The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers wants you to get in touch with your inner Zombie!!! Well I'm not a Zombie fan but every year there is a Zombie challenge and I should be prepared...NOT!!  I do have a couple of images but I don't want to use the same one as I did last year so off to google/pinterest and found an image I could work with, I have no idea whose it is.  I had planned on making a tag but in my stash I found a gray brick wall I embossed for something a while ago and scrapped and voila a card was born.

A bit of greenery and a spider along with the goo on the wall and voila' a Zombie card was born.

The zombie was elevated with some dots and with this close up you can see the goo I made with Liquid Pearls and coloured with a lime copic marker.

At scrapfest Kitchener in April I bought a sheet of Halloween sentiments from Kraftin'Kimmie Stamps and I mounted the whole sheet and then stamped it and can cut out the sentiments I want to use. 

The inside will be finished  with a computer generated sentiment.

Thanks for visiting today, don't forget to check out the main blog to see the Zombies the rest of the design team have made then head to you "halloween" box and create a zombie for us.

Shopping Our Stash Challenge #324 ~~ If the Shoe Fits..............

Mimi at Shopping Our Stash has a fabulously fun challenge this week!!! If the Shoe Fits....and there are so many finishes to this one, a couple come to mind..."wear it" and "buy it in every colour"  but surfing for some inspiration I found a new one.

The shoes are from Bugaboo Stamps, I've had this digi for a long time and I think it's perfect for the challenge, I figured they deserved some sparkle so I coloured them with spica glitter pens. The card is 5 1/4 inches square and black, white with a touch of colour is always fashionable and who can go wrong with polka dots!!! although the picture doesn't show them I added some holographic dots to some of the "dots" I tried to take a picture but they just wouldn't co-operate.

check out the sparkle on those shoes!!!

Finished the inside with a Printworks sentiment and a scrap of patterned paper.

I would like to enter this in:
