Die Cuttin Divas Guest Diva

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!

Today I am excited to be a Guest Diva for Die Cuttin' Divas!

Challenge #240 is a sketch! 

I love sketches!!

Here is the sketch for this challenge:

And here is the card that I created based on the sketch:

I decided to make a tall card. I cut my cardstock 8"x 9" and then folded it in half so that it measures 4" x 9".  This actually fits in a business size envelope and I think the different size makes it fun. I found that super cute "Ho Ho Ho' from the Silhouette online store, design ID 100721. For the darker areas on my die cut, I simply colored them with a copic marker instead of cutting out different colors of cardstock. I added a bit of Wink of Stella Clear to the ornament tops as well as the white on the hat. I also added some red Trendy Twine and some faux stitching with my white gel pen. To finish off the card, I added a few sparkly enamel dots. Sorry the sparkle of the enamel dots and the shimmer from the Wink of Stella aren't showing up very well. It has been so gloomy in my area and could not seem to get a great picture of my card. 

I hope you will head over to Die Cuttin' Diva's and join in on the challenge!

That sketch was super fun!

Pink & Main Challenge #3

Hey everyone!

I hope your Sunday is going great! 

Today marks the start of a new challenge over at 

Pink & Main!

The theme for the November challenge is.....

Thanks/Thank You/Thanksgiving

You just need to simply create a new project, post it to your blog and enter by adding it to the inlinkz at the Pink & Main Challenge Blog.

Easy Peasy!!

Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

I don't send out too many cards for Thanksgiving so I decided to go with a Thank You card. I can always use those :) I used that cute little whale from the Whale Of A Time stamp set from Pink & Main. I just think he is so darn cute! I recently got some Zig Clean Color Brush pens and decided I would color him using those. I am still learning with them but I love how the texture from the watercolor paper added a little more depth to my whale. For my greeting I used two different stamp sets and a little masking to create my sentiment. The "tons of" came from the Whale Of A Time set (I masked off the love) and the "thanks" came from the Stitched Greetings set.  I finished off my card with a fun little bow and a few sequins.

I hope you will create a project and join us for the

Adding A Smile To Your Day

Hey everyone!

I hope you are having a fabulous Friday!

Today I have a super sweet card to share with you that showcases a new set from

 Pink & Main titled, Add A Smile along with some faces from the Sweet Faces Set 2 set. 

Isn't she darling? I had so much fun making this card! I stamped her onto some white cardstock and then added that cute little face. After I had her all stamped up, I fussy cut her out and then began coloring her with my Copics. I added a few freckles with my white gel pen and some "diamond earrings" with some little pieces of bling. I popped her up with foam tape onto some fun, bright cardstock from the Hello Sunshine paper pad from Doodlebug Designs. That fun greeting is also in the Add A Smile set. I stamped it with some VersaMark ink and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I finished off my card with a few enamel dots and more bling.

Merry Christmas Mouse

Happy Friday!

I hope your week was fabulous and that you have some fun things in store for the weekend. 

I am back with another Pink & Main project to share with you today. I made another Christmas card using a couple of the new stamp sets from the October release. 

For my card, I colored that cute little mouse from the Christmouse stamp set (free with a $30 purchase) with my copics. After I had her all colored in, I used my Labels 4 Spellbinders dies to cut her out. I also cut out another one in green so that I could stack them on top of each other. I cut a red strip of cardstock and then used the Fun Stitched Edges dies from My Creative Time to create that fun little scalloped border on each side. I heat embossed that Merry Christmas greeting from the new Hollydays stamp set with some white emobssing powder. Those little holly leaves are also from the Hollydays stamp set. I finished off my card with a few red jellies in each corner and some white faux stitching on the green label. Isn't that little mouse just the cutest?? I just love her and think she is so darn cute!!

Have Yourself A Merry Christmas

Happy Wednesday!

I hope your day is off to a fabulous start!

Today I wanted to share with you a card that I made for a couple of challenges over at Scrapbook.com

This card was primarily made for the October Card Sketch Challenge and it was for Sketch #1 which is a sketch from March 2013 Pagemaps.

Here is the card that I created based on the sketch:

I used some papers from the Snow Village paper pad by Pink Paislee and thought the Kraft card base was the perfect compliment to the colors in the papers. I used a snowflake die from My Creative Time, ran some wet glue all over the front of it and then dipped it into some dazzling diamonds glitter. I added a blue goosebump to the center of the snowflake. My sentiment is from the Holly stamp set from Pink & Main. I finished off my card with some faux stitching. Kinda simple but I love how it turned out and now I have one less Christmas card to make lol!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog and taking a look at my latest creation!
