Sending you Some Christmas Wishes

Happy Sunday!!  Today I'm back with another Corrosive Challenge card which is a sketch this fabulous sketch this week.

I finally inked up MFT's PI girls Sending you Some Christmas Wishes.  I stamped the image with mementos ink and coloured her with copics.  On her hat and boots I used some liquid applique and added some glitter and heat.  For the snow on the ground I used some sugar sparkly fluff and for the snow falling I used a quickie glue pen and glitter.  For her buttons on her coat and the tree I used some tiny twinkles.  The ds paper is We R memory Merry & Bright.

Stop by the Corrosive Challenge blog to see all the other creations and I hope you can play along with us this week

Candy Cane Wishes

Happy Saturday!!  Today I get to stay home and avoid all the crazy busy malls, I think hubby will be heading out, crowds don't bother him BUT I can go during the week so why oh why would I go with him today?!

Today's card is another Christmas card - this one is made using Karen G's Sweet Sunday Sketch from last week (SSSC95).  I finally inked up one of my many a la modes from MFT - Candy Cane Wishes.  The image is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics, I did do a little shading with my Caran D'ashe pencils.  I used a clear glaze pen on the candy cane.  I used cuttlebugs snowflake embossing folder and added some ribbon and a ghost snowflake.

Thanks so much for stopping by - I'll be back tomorrow with my Corrosive Challenge card; I'm having a lot of fun being their guest designer this month!!

Giftabella...

Happy Friday!!!  Today's challenge over at Bloggabella was to make a gift card holder of a gift - I went with the holder BUT it's not Christmas themed (shocking I know!!)

I immediately knew I wanted to make a gift card holder for Starbucks gift cards because I LOVE giving them & getting them.  I register all my gift cards & Calgary is the only place in Canada where you can earn reward points - I worked very hard to get my personal gold card & now I must work at keeping it; it's a tough job!!

I stamped Chloe the Coffee Mug girl onto bella's bestest paper and coloured her with copics.  On her hair band I used a pitch black atyou spica pen and on the coffee cups polka dots I added some black glitter.  I then cute the image out and mounted it onto My Minds Eye Fine & Dandy tickled pink paper.  I mounted it all onto an Altoids tin and along the edge of the tin I used co-ordinating ribbon from My Minds Eye.  I added some card stock & some more of the designer paper to the inside of the tin.

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the Gift ideas and in case you missed it Em snuck in a surprise release on Wednesday; three new BELLA'S!!  They are fantastic!!

Next weeks challenge is our last one for 2010 (can you believe the year is almost over?!)  We have a fabulous sketch that Paulineabella created for you - email you cards to Em by Thursday to be included next week!!

Reindeer wishes

I'm back today with another holiday card.  I can tell you my Bellariffic card may be a gift card holder or gift BUT it's not a Christmas image (at least I think it's not made yet!!)

I flipped through my bella bindahs and came across reindeer circle and inked it up.  The image is stamped onto bella's bestest paper with mementos ink.  The face is coloured with pencils (I LOVE my new caran d'ashe pencils - thanks Paula & Linda!!) the rest of the image is coloured with copics.  On the star I used a purple atyou spica pen, and a red lipstick pen on the holly.  I used a Sweet Stop sketch (SSS84) and the ds paper is fancy pants arctic chill from my stash.  I added some glitter for snow above his head.

This weeks bellariffic fridays challenge is to make a gift or gift card holder - email Em your entries by Thursday to be included!!

Have a fantastic day

Penguins & Mojo

Shocking I know - another Christmas card; really I hope to show at least 1 card that's not Christmas between now & the 25th BUT I'm not making any promises!!

I had this sweet penguin from OCL partially coloured and when I saw the mojo sketch from today (MOJO 168) I finished off this set - you know I can never just make 1 holiday card.

I loved this set when I saw it on my trip to Boston - it's called Penguin fun and I've made cards with each image!!  The penguin is stamped with mementos ink and the penguin is coloured with my new Caran d'Ashe pencils (love them!!)  For the scarf, ear muffs and nose I used copics.  On the ear muffs I added some red flocking.  Instead of a bow I added a snowflake and some rhinestones.  The ds paper is Cosmo Crickets Mitten Weather and I embossed the real red cs with cuttlebugs snowflakes.

Thanks so much for stopping by - have a great day

Red & White

Happy Sunday!!  I hope you are all having a great weekend.  Hubby is in Phoenix so I have been busy getting cards in the mail & realizing I still have to make some!  I did get out with some girlfriends to a craft show and bought myself some fantastic candles - hmmm maybe I should have been buying Christmas presents?!

My wonderful friend Janet asked me if I would like to be a guest on the Corrosive Challenge Blog for this month, and I was thrilled!  She knows I would do anything for her she's that sweet!  This weeks challenge was Red & White - hmm I like lots of colours so this was a challenge for me!  I found one of my Kraftin Kimmie stamps that's been neglected & thought it would be fantastic in Red & White.

Antoinette is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics.  On her skates I used a white glaze pen.  For the fur trim I used liquid applique and glitter then heated it up.  On her scarf I used a clear glaze pen and for the buttons I used silver viva decor.  The ds paper is from SU - riding hood red.  I used riding hood red and white card stock which I embossed with swiss dots.  For the ice I used crystal stickles.   The layout is a Sweet Stop Sketch from a few weeks ago (SSS83).

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you have a chance to play along with the Corrosive Challenge this week

Snowy Bellariffic

Happy Friday - this weeks Bellariffic Friday's theme is to add some snow onto your card (not literally, although we still have snow here)

For my card I inked up one of my favourite bella holiday images - Polar Bear Circle.  The image is stamped with mementos ink onto bella's bestest paper and coloured with copics.  For the snow I used white liquid applique and glitter.  I let the liquid applique set a little then used my heat gun to make it fluffy.

Next weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is  be a GIFTABELLA - make a gift or a gift card with your bella images.  Email Em your project by Thursday to be included - you could win Bella bucks!!

Make sure you stop by Bloggabella to see the rest of the snowy creations

December Calender

Now you didn't think I would go through an entire calender without using STELLA at least once did you?!? This month is full of presents for me because it's my birthday month & Christmas so with that in mind I reached for Stella Needs a Prezzie.

Stella is stamped with mementos ink and coloured with copics. I added some clear glaze to her shoes and her lips, a girl needs lipgloss! On the presents I added some glitter with a green pink atyou spica pen. For her crown and wand I used a yellow (gold I like to think) atyou spica pen. The ds paper the calender is mounted on is from SEI Christmas Mist

Just a reminder this weeks Bellariffic Fridays theme is SNOW - you still have time to email Em your card (has to be to her by Thursday)

Thanks for stopping by - I can't believe I need to start thinking about making my 2011 calender already!!
