Weekend Ketto

For the past couple of weekends I have wanted to play along with the WSC but time just seemed to get away from me - maybe it's too much time on the golf course? This weekend not only did I play golf but watched it on TV & I'm sad I have to golf tomorrow because I can't watch the final round of the US Open, I know it's a tough life!

I did take a break from the golf to play along with WSC85, which was hosted this week by Sharon over at Paper Fections.

I chose Lucy Ketto and coloured her with copics, I then popped up the red part of her skirt. Along her wings I added some Glamour Dust Glitter.

I added some Glamour Dust Glitter along the celery strip & embossed the pumpkin pie cs with an embossing plate from Sizzix. The flower & circle are both from stamping bella & they are attached with my Kajinker

Thanks for stopping by hope you had a great weekend

copics - YR04, YR07, E000, E00, E02, R24, R27, R29, RV13, RV14, B21, B24

paper- certainly celery, pumpkin pie, riding hood red, peebles ds paper

Just for Bellariffic

This week's Bellariffic sketch is from the amazing colouring babe Paula - I wish I lived closer to her so I could take one of her classes!

For my card I used Wasabi Ketto Flowers and a sentiment from Stamping Bella. The images are all stamped on cs and paper pieced; it was strange not to colour anything! I added some Glamour Dust Glitter to my flowers. The DS paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle's Zinna. The flowers are pieced on white cs that is cute with a small nesties square, then I mounted the four squares on pumpkin cs that was cut with a large nesties square.

Make sure you check out all the other Bellariffic cards over at Bloggabella

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Making Snowmen

This week over at the Corrosive Challenge Blog (CCBJ16) Janet had a sketch & when I saw it I grabbed this sweet Elzybells stamp "making snowmen" because it worked perfectly

The image is stamped with Mementos ink on Gina K pure luxury cs and coloured with copics (sorry I forgot to take a picture of them). On the trim on her coat I used white flocking, which reminded me a of pink fur (OK fake fur) coat & hat I had and LOVED. I added some ultra fine glitter on the snow and a snowflake in the corner

The cb is SU's Riding Hood Red layered with Baja Breeze that I embossed with snowflakes. The DS paper is from my stash of My Minds Eye Christmas paper

Have a great Thursday & I hope you can play along with the Corrosive Challenge this week

Bitty, Bitty, Bitty

I must say I do love these Bittyblooms; I don't know why it took me so long to get on the bitty bus!

This time I used Poppy Bittybloom & Amy R's Friday sketch (AMYRS69). I stamped the image with memento ink and coloured it with lyras & prismacolors with mineral spirits. I added some glitter on the center of the flowers and along her skirt.

I popped the poppy up and added some Prima flowers with cotton candy bonbons in both 7mm & 5mm. The DS paper is basic greys Sultry layered on green bazzil cs.

Remember you have until tomorrow at 5pm EST to send your cards to Em for this weeks Bellariffic challenge which is another sketch challenge; this one is by our babe Paula

You can still sign up for the ATC swap and the birthday blog hop

Have a great day - I am hoping for no rain (and sunshine but most importantly no rain) because I am going golfing (yes Wendy golfing again!)

For My Dad...

Both Father's Day cards are made BEFORE the big day - WOHOO now I just have to get them in the mail!

For my dad's card I finally mounted And Many Mower from SU - I bought it right away because I thought it would be perfect for all the masculine cards I needed to make & then it just sat there in my cupboard, like so many others!

I loved Taylor's challenge (TECC72) this week & it fit perfectly with the image plus it came together super quick because I again used my Key Ingredients kit. I coloured the image with copics and paper pieced his hat & shorts. It doesn't show in the picture but I added some crystal effects on the golf ball.

The corduroy buttons are from SU (more stuff that was still sealed..) so now I am off to mail them! (sounds harder then it is the mailbox is 1 house away from me yet I am still running late...)

Thanks & have a great day

Bittybloom SKFYTT

For some reason I haven't managed to do Jen's SKFYTT so this week I did if right away!

I chose a bittybloom

for my card; this is a stunning line from Stamping Bella, and for some reason I didn't own many of them - until the brown truck dropped some off last week!!

I chose peony Bittybloom for my card, stamped with memento ink & coloured with copics to match the DS paper from Crate Paper (Lilian collection- harmony). The card base is pink pirouette layered with soft sky (finally cracked my last package!) I added some stickles in the center of the flower & instead of a sentiment I used 3 cotton candy bella bonbons

Jen is also hosting an ATC swap & asked me to be the Canadian contact - click here for all the details.

There is also a hop for Em's birthday that fellow babe Shannan is co-ordinating, click here to get all the details on how to take part in da'bellas birthday blog hop

Don't forget Em will be posting this weeks challenge today, make sure to pop over to Bloggabella for the details & remember for participating you could win bella bucks!!

Have a great day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BFF!!!!!

OK when I mentioned it was Kar's birthday to the girls they were all excited & all had their cards in the mail (except Joanne who can hand deliver hers!) Yep mines not made yet - but if Kar got it on time that would freak her right out - only those who live by me (you know hand delivered) seem to get them on time! SO instead I used a set that totally suits Kar & I - Stamping Bella's Huggybellas and here's why:

Yep we look exactly like the Huggybella - right?!

That and the fact we always give each other big hugs when we are together; the first picture is from when I was visiting her last fall asked someone to take our picture so we are rather conservative for us! The 2nd was so funny we were using Kar's camera on auto to take the picture at their house in Burlington before they moved (wow that would have been about 1 year ago!!) and if you have ever used the auto set you will know how much we were laughing while doing this! And the 3rd is us at da' Bella house when we met there in April :)

I hope you have a wonderful birthday - wish we were closer to celebrate it together! Make sure you hop over to see what Joanne, Miche & Janet have for you -

Leslie sent this message to Karen : "Happy Birthday my friend! Here’s the one time I wish I DID have a blog so I could give you a little virtual birthday party on it, but I don’t so your BFF will do it for me – yippee for Dana!. I hope you have a lovely, lovely day and get spoiled and do fun things and eat cake and get spoiled….as you should on your birthday!!! Sending a virtual hug to you :)"

Thanks for stopping by & make sure you wish Karen a Happy Birthday!!

Biker Bellariffic

Jen did an amazing sketch for this weeks Bellariffic Fridays & I decided it was time to ink up a stamp that hasn't been touched yet (yep there are still a few!) I don't want to tell you how long I've had bikababeabella- it was definitely purchased when I still lived in Toronto! I think my Bikababeabella met up with the guys from American Chopper to get her custom made bike!

I stamped the image with memento's ink and coloured with with copics (a lot of them!) I cut the image with an oval nesties but didn't layer it. The cb is pink passion layered with a base colour from basic greys Lime Rickey line, the ds paper is from Lime Rickey as well.

I added some turquoise ribbon and some bella bonbons along the top - to finish her off- make sure you pop over to Bloggabella to see all the entries & remember someone who sent a card in and someone who comments get bella bucks!!

Have a great Friday - it's actually suppose to be nice in Calgary this weekend, sunshine & most importantly (after last weekend) no snow so we will be on the links!
