Got Cookies??? - MFP

Here is a card I made with the brand new set in Mark's Finest Paper store this week called
"Holly Jolly".    This Santa was fun to color and also fun working with this paper.  Last year, I really got into using black with my Christmas cards and I still like it this year.   I have a feeling you will see a lot of this paper on my cards this year.

Have a wonderful weekend.  See you again soon.

All about corners

1. 

The challenge for Squigglefly blog this week is all about corners.   I used a corner punch, that has not seen light for a while, to decorate my corners and I added the rose at the corner of the image.  I think I am all legal for this challenge.   ~grin~

1.  

This is the inside of the card.    The image is by Squigglefly.  It is called "Broken Inner Peace" by Lynn Stansbery.

Thanks for stopping in to take a peek.

Speedy Fox and Friends #126-Tags

Today brings a new challenge over at Speedy Fox & Friends.  The challenge is to make a tag.  You could make a tag for a package or a tag for a card, etc..  I chose to use the  MFP Heinrich Co., Asian Delight stamp set.   This was a fun set to work with and it was perfect to use pink, I like pink.   I chose to use an embossing folder that reminded me of little fans which I thought was perfect for my theme.   We would love to have you join us for this challenge.

CCEE Stampers - Food

The challenge over at the CCEE Stampers is to make a card that relates to food.  I have several digital images that are in the food category, but lightening also took out my printer so I was unable to print them out.  I had gotten this pre colored image with "Thank you"  written on it in an order from Ellen Hutson so I thought this would work very well for this challenge.

just use the key words CCEE1238.  Stop by our challenge Blog and check out the other team members cards.

Squigglefly - Halloween

The challenge for Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals Squigglefly team this week was to make a Halloween card.  I was unable to do a Halloween card due to the fact that lightening hit my computer and printer last week so I was unable to print out a Halloween image.   I had this cute image,  For Your Birthday by Fawn Palmer printed  out so I colored her in Halloween colors.   I used this fall designer paper, given to me by Rhonda, to give my card a Halloween flare. 

How about joining the Rascals over at  Squigglefly for this challenge?  If you do, you have a chance to win a free digital image.

Speedy Fox and Friends #125 - Favorite Technique

It's time for another fun challenge over at Speedy Fox & Friends.   The challenge for this week is to make a card with your favorite technique.   My favorite technique is to sponge clouds for a beautiful scene.   This week I chose to use the MFP Heinrich Co.  stamp set Hello Trucks.  I love yellow trucks and that is the best thing about card making, you can make them any color you want.   Now if only it was that easy to make my white truck in the garage a different color every day.  ~grin~  That would be really fun.  Okay, back to the Speedy Fox challenge, we would love for you to join us for this challenge and show us what your favorite technique is.  I will be watching for your card.

I used Miss Caroline paper and copics to color my image.  The truck was colored with Y02,04,06, and 08.

Thanks for stopping by in and I hope you are having a great day wherever you are and whatever you may be doing.

CCEE-A Bird and a Song

The CCEE Stampers Challenge for this week was given by Sabrina.  She challenged us to  use a bird or something related to music on our cards.  I had just colored this inkadinkadoo image, that has been on my craft table since June, cut it out and layed it aside when I remembered it was Wednesday and I had to finish my card tonight to get it uploaded for the blog.   I am a little late, but my motto is better late than never.   Having a Holiday this week has really thrown me off.  Monday seemed like Sunday to me so I feel like I lost a day.

It's Monochromatic at Squigglefly

Rhonda of Rhonda's Rowdy Rascal's gave a challenge over at Squigglefly blog  to make a monochromatic card.   It just doesn't get any better than to use black and brown together so I thought this was a great challenge to use it in.  The Squigglefly image is "Doggie Pile" by Chrissy Armstrong.  I love this image as it reminds me of a picture of the Boxer family I had. (only have one left) Their picture is on my side bar if you would like to take a look of my most favorite dogs, ever.
The Live ticket was given to me by Rhonda.  Thanks, so much, Rhonda.   It was perfect for this card. We would love for you to join us for this challenge so jump on over to the Squigglefly blog and join us.
