A Jolly Ole' Soul - Oldie but goodie

Rhonda's Rowdy Rascals have a challenge going over at the Squigglefly blog  called Oldie but Goodie.  We are to make a card with one of the older images in the Squigglefly store.    I chose to use this adorable snowman, "Snowy Card" by Marla Shega.   I had no idea where I was going with this image when I started.  Sometimes that works out and sometimes not so good.   I happened to like the end results on this little guy along with the paper I had that would go with him.  I am terrible about coloring an image to find out I have not paper that matches.  I got lucky this time. Well, I hope you enjoyed seeing my "Jolly Ole Soul".   Stop by the Squigglefly blog to see what the other gals have made, you can also check out the details of this challenge.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.

Just a note.

Hello Blogging Friends,

Just a note to let you know that I may  not be around as much in the next week or two.  My husband will be having shoulder replacement surgery so I shall be busy taking care of the patient next week.   I have several pre -posts scheduled so maybe I won't be away too much.    I will be back to my regular commenting and visiting your blogs in the near future.

Have a wonderful weekend.  Thanks for stopping in to see what is happening here in Boxertown.

CCEE Stampers Challenge

This week, the CCEE Stamper's challenge is to make a card using only a portion of our embossing folder.  We can choose any theme we like  but we were reminded that  Christmas is  just around the corner!!!  My ef had a portion of the card not embossed so I  hope this is permissable,  I don't want the challenge police to come knocking on my door.  ~grin~

Won't you join the CCEE stampers in this challenge?  Don't forget to add your card to Mr. Linky at the bottom of the  blog page so we can see your wonderful cards!

This is also for the Twisted Sister's challenge this week which is to make a one layer Christmas card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Holly Jolly Greetings Sketch Challenge

The sketch challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is pretty fun today.   It is both fun and easy.   I like easy peasy so here is the Christmas card I made this morning.     It is rainy here and cool.   I hope it is a great day wherever you are.

Just a little goofiness

I filled another's spot to give the Twisted Sister challenge at the last minute so off the top of my head, I challenged them to make a humorous Christmas card with a banner.  I know that Christmas is a serious thing and that it is all about the birth of Jesus.   I also think that God gave me a sense of humor to use, even though some say I have an off the wall sense of humor.   Oh, well.  :)  Even after I gave this challenge, I had a hard time coming up with a Christmas image for humor.   I went through already stamped images and found this one, thanks to a friend.   I added the North Pole to the Street sign and made up this computer generated sentiment.

Thanks for looking.

Speedy Fox and Friends #132 - All about Rick Rack

It's Saturday, that means it is time for another fun challenge over at Speedy Fox and Friends.  
The challenge for this week is to make a card using Rick Rack.  I chose to use a border punch that looks like Rick Rack.  I used one of the brand new stamp sets from Mark's Finest Papers - a Heinrich Company, called "Poinsettia Blooms".  I hope you will go over to the blog to see what the other team members have made and to upload your card to our challenge.   You will have until Friday, November 9th 2012 to post your card.  You are not required to use a Mark's Finest Paper stamp, but if you do,  you will be entered twice into the drawing.  There is always a nice stamp set given away to the winner, but you have to enter to be in the drawing to win. 

I Am In Love - Squigglefly Sneak Peek

Oh, my, am I ever in love with this adorable Squigglefly image called "Devotion" by Lynne Stansberry.   This is a sneak peek of one of the new images that will be available on Saturday.
Most of you who know that I am a dog lover so this was the perfect image for me to work with.
I know this dog is not a boxer, but my boxers have  natural ears so this kind of reminds me of one of mine.  No wonder I am so drawn to it.   Be sure and stop by the Squigglefly Store on Saturday and check out the new images.

The paper I used for my card is Doodlebug designs, the sentiment is Stampin' Up and I used copics for my coloring.

Thanks for stopping by.
