Cuttlebug Sunday

OK....so this challenge wasn't posted until after I went to bed last night,but better late than never, right?

This week's challenge was to use your cuttlebug anyway you wished but to use the sketch provided. Here's the sketch and my card, my FIRST Christmas card for 2009! I fiqure I better start making Christmas cards since before I know it December will be here!

The base is Real Red embossed with the snowflake folder. I used some left over Christmas paper from last year for the side stripe and my scalloped oval nestie for the verse. the stamps are from the Snow Swirled and Scenic Season SU! sets.

Bridal Bella :)

This is the card I did for last week's sketch challenge on PCP. I used another image from Stamping Bella which I think is too adorable! I tried the glossy white card stock from SU! which I ran through my bug with the large scalloped oval nestie. I like the look of the glossy for a wedding card.

I hoping to do some more today, but Liam is cutting another tooth and he has a cold. So it's not looking good for me and my craft room....maybe if he finally crashes for a nap I'll be able to sneak down there :)

It's Monday!!!

It's Monday, which means it's time for Mojo! For this week's challenge, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and use it for the weekly cuttlebug challenge that I usually do over on PCP.

For the bug challenge this week we were to run a stamped or patterned paper through our bugs with an embossing folder. I chose to use some Raspberry Tart with the Divine Swirls embossing folder. For the images I used one from Stamping Bella, isn't she sweet? I watercolored her with my new watercolor pencils from SU! which I used with blender pens.

Thanks for dropping by!

Crazy for Cuttlebug & Razzledazzle

Wow...it's Friday ALREADY! The week went by toooo fast, before I know it I'll be back to
work :(
Here are a couple of cards I did this week for two different challenges.

The first one was for the weekly cuttlebug challenge over on PCP. I used both the Swiss Dots & Divine Swirls emobossing folders and the scalloped square die. Then I used the new Love Bug hostess set from SU! I think this card would be cute for a little girl's birthday :)

The second card is for the weekly sketch challenge on Splitcoast. I received some of the new in colors this week from SU! The colors in this card are Rich Razzleberry & Melon Mambo along with the Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper. I also ordered the new Butterfly punch that goes with the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set. This punch will be getting LOTS of use :)

Hope you enjoy my creations, have a GREAT weekend and thanks for checking in!

Circles and Sand

I hope everyone had a great Canada Day! I did even though the sun didn't make an appearance but that always gives me more time to spend in my craft room :)

The brown card was done for PCP's weekly cuttlebug challenge. We had to sand our paper after we embossed it. To do this I brayered some chocolate chip ink over some vanilla card stock. Then I ran it through my bug using the Divine Swirls folder. Using some Sand paper I sanded off some of the ink to reveal some of the vanilla. Cool and easy technique!

The circles card was done for the Wednesday sketch challenge over on Splitcoast. I think it's cute, but I think I'll have to make a custom made envelop for it. I used my circle punches with the Think Happy Thoughts set.

I won't post any details for these cards, but here's the link to my gallery over at Splitcoast, you'll find all the details there:

Congrats Class of 2009!

I made this card with the new Hannah set I recieved earlier this week, there is also a boy graduate with the set as well. I stamped her on Whisper White and colored her in using blender pens and ink. I used Not Quite Navy as the base & mats and I created the background by running a piece of white card stock through my cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls embossing folder.

Cuttlebug Crazy

I made this card for the weekly Cuttlebug Challenge that I try to do, also on PCP. This week we had to use an embossing folder, die cuts, ribbons, a stamped images and at least 3 buttons. I used the Thank-you emobssing folder with the scalloped squares dies. Not Quite Navy and Certainly Celery are the colors of the paper, ink and buttons. The ribbon is from Micheals and jsut happens to match Certainly Celery :) I really love how this card turned out!
