SITM Update...

Hello My Friends,
At least I hope you are still my friends...<smile> Wouldn't you know that just when I think I have things planned out what I want to do and when I want to do it...there goes that thing called "LIFE" getting in the way again. I haven't even been home long enough to get a good nights sleep let alone...craft or even organize. My parents car broke down and they live almost 30min away so on evenings when picking up my daughter, sometimes I need to run errands for them or they need to use the car. Then on weekends I've been up early to drive to other commitments,  appointments, parents house or errands that needed to be taken care of. The shuffle of these few days and past weekend left me with a mounting headache where I couldn't almost see straight and I never really had that before. I am looking forward to this weekend because I only have two things to get out for on Saturday...(hopefully). My apologies for not having things here when I said I would,(I don't like disappointing you), but I didn't want to just throw some pictures up here that weren't presentable or organized. I will get around to doing this because, there is just waaaay tooo much stuff in my craft area for me to find any descent flat surface to craft.
In the meantime, I did however come across some cards that I never got to share with you all during the holidays. I was crafting like a Mad-Scrapper due to last minute card requests and my own personal gift ideas and cards. Just thinking back on it now I'm get a little upset with myself all over again because I never got around to taking pictures of everything before it left my house and hands...ughhhh!!!
Anyhew, here's a trip down memory lane of what I was able to snag a snap shot of before they left for someone else's home...enjoy!
I really enjoyed using those ornament dies from MCT, this helped me with a lot of mass producing cards along with some Christmas stamps from Hero Arts. I truly miss you all and my crafting more than you all will ever know. I honestly wish there was a true and safe way for cloning...(lol). I am determine to get back here soon and more often. I only hope you understand and will still be around when I do. Big Warm Hugs & Smooches...

It's The Most Wonderful Time...

Hi My Friends,
I wanted to post this card as my first time entering into the My Favorite Things (MFT) Guest Designer Contest. Let me tell you that I think these are going to be my newest favorite stamps. I am in love with just about everything in their store. I wish I could afford it all. They have a FAB-U-LOUS Release going on right now. Check it out here. Anyhew, here is the card I came up with for the sketch we were to follow.
For this card. I use the special T ripple Scoop Seasonal Sentiment Stamp set from MFT. I am soooo in Love with this set. I use some 5.5 x 5.5 kraft corrugated card stock as my base along with some PTI Buttons & Card stock. The pattern paper is from Recollections new 6x6 paper pad "Jolly Holiday". The first sentiment on the front was embossed with white embossing powder and I adhered two buttons and twine from the twinery with them. This is definitely a Jolly Holiday card and I Love how the inside came out too. I used MFT's Die-namics "Fancy Flourish" to accent the other sentiment on the inside. (This die cuts like butta'). I adhered some bling to the flourish points and used my MS Glitter pen to give it some sparkle. I also used some sparkle on the front of the card to for the mini wreaths on the pattern paper. I hope you like my card and for my "Enabler Alert"...go check out "My Favorite Things" site and store is the Bomb-Diggity. I certainly have a lot on my wish list from them this season. Big Hugs & Smooches...

TAG IT! & Winner!

Hi My Friends,
I hope everyone had a Fabulous Christmas. Mine was full of smiles and laughter. My little 2yr old certainly got her fill of Santa this year. I enjoyed a relaxing time and home with family and we ate, watch the game, ate again, went to see my parents, watch some more TV came home, had dessert and sat up until we couldn't stay up anymore. Now that's what I call a relaxing time with family. Those are the moments I live for.
Over this holiday I went to a few Christmas parties we were invited to. I always like to bring something with me to give to the host. I made these quick inspired altered projects. I got the idea from Emma @My Creative Time. I'm certain hers is a lot prettier than mine, but I was in a rush so I didn't get to embellish as much as I wanted to. All die cuts and sentiments are from My Creative Time.
Anyhew I will also be entering this project into the following challenges:
Fantabulous Cricut - "Trimming with a Tag" use a tag on your project
Whimsical Designs - "Tag Challenge" T.Holtz inspired or any Christmas Tag
My Craft Spot - "Tag... You're It" tags to adorn your gifts
Paper Playtime - "Anything Goes"
Also the winner of their cartridge choice from yesterday's Christmas Day Giveaway is:

Snow Adorable!!!

Hi My Friends,
I'm getting into the swing of things a bit and getting a few of my cards knocked out. Here is a card I made for Peachy Keen's Tuesday Stamp Challenge - "Create any card or layout, must use PKS stamps". This was an easy one. I had this stamp from PKS that I received last year as a bonus stamp and have been waiting to use it. So here is it. My cute, little, adorable snowman. Also did you know that PKS is having an Open Design Team Call. It would be a Super Duper Dream Come True for me if I get selected. Check out their site for more details here.
I used some puffy paint on the tree to give it the snow effect all over it. I added a little glitter to make it look like the tree was glistening. The tree is a die cute from PTI and the sentiment is from MPS "Winter Punnies" and that cute snowman was colored with my markers (Bic UF Sharpies). **sn: I so need some copics for Christmas**. Topped it off with some ribbon and bling and It's Just Perfect! Ohhhh Santa??? (lol) I hope you enjoy this card too. I'll be back with more as I get things going. I'm also going to have a giveaway of my own coming up so be sure to check back. Smooches...

Crafting in the Wee Hours...

Hi My Friends,
Here is a card that I worked on today after finally being able to get in my craft area. I'll be going out of town on Tuesday so needless to say I've been scrambling to get quite a lot done in a short time. Not to worry, I'll still have posts for your to view while I'm away. It will be my Genie Blogger doing all the work for me while I'm gone. This card is for the CCCC Challenge - use "Christmas" cart. There are some great things happening with Scrapper in the Making so I hope you check back often. Smooches...
I wanted a real life-like snow effect so I used White Puffy Paint and spread is on the trees. I also used Glossy accents to give a life-like feel to the snowflakes. The sentiments are from MPS - "Winter Punnies". I think I better get started on my Christmas Cards. I have to make a set for me and my mom this year.
