Happy Halloween!!!

Good Morning!

Welcome to the Wild card challenge over at Just Us Girls!  This week it's being being hosted by the fabulous Dana who has come up with this fun burnt edge flower technique!   If you've never tried it there is a tutorial that can be found here. This was my first attempt at this technique and I must say the possibilties could be endless just using up scraps of material lying around that contain sythetic fibers.  My problem was I had just "fall cleaned" my closet two weekends ago and got rid of every piece of clothing that I could have used!  Sooooo I went to Wally World and purchased a small amount of material (.92 cents worth).  Big spender I am!  LOL!!!  Instead of using her template for the flower she had I used my Spellbinders  nestabilities (blossom) to cut my material out which was done lickity split!  Seeing I was really busy this week cuz I had to take Friday off for a little oral surgery (fun it's not but with the help of good drugs i'm feeling real good ;0).  I was pressed for time and they do work great just run the material thru a few times to get a good cut!  As for the tea light do be careful so as not to burn the house down!  LOL!  My flower was flaming a few times but I quickly learned to not put it directly into the flame!  LOL!  I hope you ladies decide to give this a try!  This is our last week with our October guest designer Selma.  She has turned out some beautiful projects for JUGS this month!!!   Stop by her blog and the rest of the teams blogs for more inspiration!  Have yourselves a fabulously fun Halloween!!!

Peace on Earth...



Hello!
Here is another fun image available from wink*wink*ink.  It's the silhouette of the kitty and mouse that is available in a set of two digi  images and two sentiments that can be found here.  I made a card a couple of weeks ago using the precolored image of these two critters perched in front of a Christmas tree.  I just love this silhouette and it goes perfect with the sentiment that comes with this same image. It makes for a quick and easy card! 

Supplies;  PTI cardstock, Martha Stewart punch, misc. brads

BIG happy birthday

Good Morning!

This week it's a template challenge at Just Us Girls being sponsored by My Time Made Easy. It's the brand new In Suspense template. This is a fun template that is very versatile and I had fun creating the above one! I have many other ideas for this template floating around in my head! I had this little pixie and thought she would be cute sitting on the top of the template. I think this would be perfect for a little girls Birthday!

I hope your able to play along with us this week. I love seeing how creative everyone is!!!  Don't forget to stop by the rest of the teams blogs to see what they have created with this fab new template!

Season's Tweetings

Hello!

Here is a little card I made using the new digi stamp set Season's Tweetings that is available from wink*wink*ink .  I colored the little snow man in with my copics to match the papers I had chosen to make this little square card.  This set comes with a cute little border of birdies and some adorable sentiments for the inside or outside of your cards.  The digi images are awesome to work with because you can size them to fit any where on the card or to fit any type of tag you'd like to add to your projects. 

JUGS Color Challenge #55

Good Saturday Morning Ladies!

It's time for another challenge over at Just Us Girls and this week it is a color challenge being  hosted by Alicia.  She has chosen a neutral color palette for us to work with this week.  I love graphic 45 papers and how they already have such fun images that I enjoy cutting out and making cards with.  This is one that i had already cut out and just hadn't put together yet.  I decided to make my card a little odd shaped cuz every card doesn't have to fit into an envelope. Am I right Ladies????  I like attaching them to the outside of gifts and gift bags as a little eye candy! LOL!!!  Now that my summer has officially come to a close this weekend in Maine I am feeling a definite return of my mojo!  Yippee!  Below is the card I created for this fun color challenge. I hope you gals find the time to play along with JUGS this week!  Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
