Quirky Christmas

Evening everyone!! It is just about time for bed I think. And I'm cold! So I need to be all snuggled up and watching a movie I think LOL  It has been a pretty relaxed weekend here. We have just hung out. Kevin worked on his trike and I have crafted. My youngest daughter got in big trouble this weekend, but we are past that. She is grounded for the week and I hope she learned her lesson. We went to my mother's this morning to help her with her cable box, but it did not end up working in the end. They are going to send another one out. I'll see if we can get that one working once it gets there.

I've made a list for Kevin and Bailey to work on Monday and Tuesday. A list of things to get for Thanksgiving. They have to pick up the Ham on Tuesday. Michael's birthday is Wednesday, so I've also made a list of some things to get for that. I work on Monday and Tuesday, so I have a lot to get done at work over the next couple of days. And in the morning it is supposed to be 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Cold for me on the bike!! I have a bunch of clothes to get layered up hehehe!!

Okay.. here is my card I created for Quirky Christmas as a Guest Designer:









I've used Mixie from That Craft Place Ltd. I think she is adorable. I've colored her with my Copic markers. The gold on the stars and on the dress are glitter gold embossing powder from WOW. All of the papers are scraps. I've added some gold thread and the charm at the top. I've done a bit of layering on the image. I've added a small bit of stitching as well. I've added some pink gems on the sentiment I created. The wings I used some Wink of Stella, white and pink.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04
  • Blue: B0000, B000, B01, B02, B04
  • Pink: R81, R83, R85
  • Hair: E50, Y21, Y15, Y26, YR24, E37

Purple Aurora Birthday*

Good morning everyone!! I am off until Monday!!  Yippee!!  I'm hoping to go to the movies with Kevin either today or tomorrow. We will see how that works out. Yesterday was a full day of work and I brought some work home as well. I need to finish up a bit today and then put it away until Monday! What I really want to do is color! And I need to do a card with some embroidery on it. That will be a challenge!  Alright.. enough of me :)  On to the card for today:









For this card I've used Aurora Gift from The East Wind. She is colored with Copic Markers and a small amount of layering was done. The flower background was cut using a My Favorite Things die. The inside rectangle is also a My Favorite Thing die and I inked a bit of purple around the edge. I added a bit of purple lace and then the sparkle fiber on top of it. I made a little pompom with the fiber and added the gem on top of it. The ribbon on the gift has some clear Wink of Stella on it.  On the inside I added some additional lace and sparkle fiber.

Copic Markers Used:

I love our sponsors so much! They are so generous to sponsor our challenges! Be sure to visit them and spread the love! They deserve it! What would do without them!! They make our crafts so wonderful with their fantastic images!!

Alright...here is my project for "Luck"!









I have used the image Tinkles from our wonderful sponsor Make It Crafty! I colored her up with my Copic Markers and I did a little bit of layering on her. I added a bit of gold glitter around the edges of the bells. I also used some Opaque White to do some highlights on her. I used all scraps for this card. Still trying hard to use my scraps and get through some this year. The circle die is a My Favorite Thing stitched circle. I added some dry embossing to the two different shades of green strips across the middle. The clover is a Sizzix die that I cut three times with two shades of green and a clover patterned paper scrap in my scrap box. The tag is also a Sizzix die. The sentiment, 'Good Luck', is from Paper Smooches. I stamped it three times on the little tag and it is hidden behind the circle. I took a photo of the front with it tucked in and then one with it pulled out. I added a bit of white sparkle fiber and a horseshoe charm at the top and then added some green gems. She is a fun little elf! I had a blast coloring her up green to match the papers and the luck theme!

Cuddly Buddly March

Good morning everyone and Happy Friday! I love the weekends! I hope you had a great week and now let's head into the weekend and have some fun!

Today I'm posting my first post in March for Cuddly Buddly.








For this card I used An Apple A Day from Pachela Studios. I thought he was too cute and that little look on his face made me think of a get well card. So, that is what I did. I colored the image with my Copic Markers and did a bit of layering. I added some glitter to the flowers and some Opaque White to the apple. I added a bit of red fiber, the red and yellow gems and the hat and stethoscope brads. I thought they would be a nice touch. Then I stamped the get well. The card cut was done with my Cameo.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Apple: YG01, YG63, R20, R22, R24, R29, R59
  • Bear and Apple Stem: E31, E23, E27, E79
  • Flower Stem: YG01, YG63
  • Flower Center: YG01, YG63
  • Pads: R20, R22, R24

January Cuddly Buddly

Good morning everyone! It is FREEZING outside!  No riding my bike today... a bit too cold for that! So, I had to pile in the van and get to work that way instead. I love riding the Bergman to work every day! I hate that it's too cold - 12˚ F or -11.1˚ C! Tomorrow it's suppose to be 20˚ F (-6.6˚ C), so we will try that. With my heated gloves I should be good!

What has been going on with everyone? Here we have been working on buying a home. We put in an offer on a house, but so did an investor. The investor's offer was accepted, but they asked us to sign as a back up in case anything happened with the investor. So, we agreed and we kept looking for a house. Well... the investor ended up backing out! So, we have been busy as can be negotiating repairs and the contract on the house. They accepted everything last night and we are REALLY happy with what they have agreed to. So, we are well on our way! We should be closing on the 22nd of January. We still have rent at our current place through February, so that gives us plenty of time to get moved over and all the little touch ups we need to do at the rental.. filling picture holes and such. We are really excited! The kids will be changing schools, so I have that all lined up. I go to their schools the first week in February to get that all situated! We have been SO busy though! What a way to start the New Year! We are so happy and blessed!

Okay... on to why you are really here :)  Today I am sharing my first January post for Cuddly Buddly!










For this card I used Best Buddies Just To Say - Pachela Studios Digi Stamps which you can find in the Cuddly Buddly Shop! I just LOVE these images! They are so perfect to decoupage! Just LOVE them!!  So many layers... really easy to layer!

I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I used some Copic Opaque White for some highlights. The Good Luck stamped on the sign was from Paper Smooches. I added the white net ribbon and the white sparkle fiber. I also added a few pearls.I have no idea who the papers are from. They were in my stash.
