Delicious Doodles - #8 - Extravagant Christmas

Delicious Doodles has a great challenge going - it's over-the-top, embellished to the hilt, extravagant Christmas time! I had such fun decorating these great images from Teri of these Christmas ornaments... Went on glitter and gem overload!!! LOL The base of the card is red glitter paper, with a Cricuit cut oval laid on top of some fun gold net ribbon. I colored the baubles with ... of course ... my Copics, sprayed them with some homemade glimmer mist, then adnorned them with more glitter and rhinestones. Felt Christmas bows top them for the perfect finishing touch. My sentiment is a Cloud 9 stamp with handwritten wishes. The corners are another Cricut cut with a glitter pen highlight and another gem. To add the final touch, I made my own stick pins and stuck them in for good measure. All in all, a pretty heavily adorned Christmas card that will probably need to be hand-delivered instead of mailed...hehe!

So, how much can you put on a Christmas card? Take the challenge... I bet you can do a great job!

CYP 83 - Brown - Sassy Studio

It's challenge time again - Craft Your Passion Challenges has a new sponsor, Sassy Studio. I loved the images they provided to us to design with this week. I picked this one probably because it's how I'd like to be spending this Monday morning instead of headed off to work.

I used my Prisma's on kraft paper to color the image before I silhouette cut her out. I kept the design simple as I wanted to convey that relaxed attitude. Finally had a chance to use this awesome crocheted ribbon/lace I bought years ago but never used...

Our challenge this week is to use the color brown - how easy is that? Come join us for a chance to win some great images from Sassy Studio.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Make it Monday - #62 - Mr. Linky Party
Ribbon Carousel Challenge - #RCC27 - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by - Happy Monday!

Card for hubby

This card may not be the traditional Father's Day card, but it seemed to be fitting to give to my sweet hubby! The sentiment is soooo true... He's always there for me, rain or shine! And he's such a great dad - always taking care of us and putting his family first! I love him so.

I put a Tim Holtz stamp together with a Unity sentiment - they worked well together and although I adore the stamp that came with the Unity sentiment, it was a little too girly for this card. I think this has just the right amount of "masculinity" to it!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

ColourQ #89 -

Sentimental Sundays - challenge #59 - Father's Day or masculine

PaperTake Weekly - Dad's and lads

Thanks for stopping in!

Congratulations

I fell in love with the MoJo Monday sketch this week... How versitile is that one? I could see making it for a young child's birthday or like this one, an elegant wedding card. I had all kinds of ideas running through my head. These flocked papers lended nicely to a dressed up card that came together very quickly tonight. I'm not used to making a card in just an hour or so! That's kinda nice! I used a Cricut cuthout to add the sentiment - added a nice black bow and that's all it took.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

Mojo Monday - sketch 194

Pollycraft Monday - #96 - Love and Marriage

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes - White +1

Catch the Bug Challenge - Anything Goes June

The Pink Elephant - TPE102 - Here Comes the Bride

Thanks for sharing your day with me!

B-Line Designs / Shabby Chic

Another amazingly cute image from B-Line Designs inspired this wonderfully feminine and shabby chic card. I loved coloring her with my Copics and popping her up on a double image. I added handstitching around all the paper edges, then curled them slightly to add to the shabby vintage feel of the image. I added some lace and pearls on top of a sheer ribbon, then tied a bubbly bow to frame the collage of roses/blooms. A few more pearls and a small sentiment finished the look.

I will be linking this card to the following challenges:

A Spoon Full of Sugar - challenge 154 - Flower Power

Paper Sundaes - Vintage / Shabby Chic

Ribbon Carousel - RCC5 - Anything Goes

Papertake Weekly - #56 - Sketch
