Waiting for Santa!

I made this  holiday card using an image that I won from JLJ Designs. The image was from a Halloween image, I just changed it up a bit! I colored it using Zig Memory System writer collection markers and Crayola twistable colored pencils. I stamped her dress with a little snowflake stamp, heat embossed it added some pearls. I used diamond stickes for her hat train. This is only my second time coloring an image! It is starting to grow on me! LOL

I wanted it to look like she was waiting on line to see Santa. The Santa sign is a stamp from KI Memories Marriage I just added the black paper for the pole.
I ended up cutting apart a stamp that said Santa is coming to town to use it for the SANTA on the sign.

Can you believe I looked through ALL my stamps and not one stamp said just Santa????!! How can that be? 

Entering into the following challenges:

BRRR!

I had this card image in my mind since last night! I am so happy with the way it turned out!

I used the Wild Card Cartridge to cut the window card. Then I cut the liner two times, one for the front and one for the inside. I cut the one for the inside to hide my eyelet hole. I added and eyelet and hung the snowflake. Snowflakes are from Accent Essentials with Stickles added. Peachy Keen Stamps PK-504. The BRR! is from  Studio G clear Stamps.

Holiday Fun!

I only had a little while to create something this weekend! I used my Gypsy to make this cutie teddy bear. He was on the Christmas download. I wanted it to look like it was sitting under the Christmas tree so I only used a piece of the tree. I used chalk and white gel pen to highlight him.

Cricut.... Not Just for Card Making and Scrapbooking!!

My 7 year old had a project to do this weekend, disguise her Turkey as something other than a Turkey so no one will eat it on Thanksgiving. I did not want to haul all my other sewing craft stuff out since I already have all my paper stuff out so we looked through the Cricut books.

Here is her Turkey before:

Here is her Turkey after thanks to Destinations Cricut Cartridge:

No one eats Lobster on Thanksgiving right???

She did all the gluing and putting together, I just cut the lobster.

Have a great week!!

Altered Item!

I have so many items that i have stuck in my closet to be altered one day so when Stephanie over at Always Crafting posted her challenge this week I was thrilled to be checking a thing to do off my list!

I had this neat container that came with nail polish and stuff inside, I loved the clear sides and pop off top so I saved it:

Now that I have all my Christmas supplies out I thought this would be perfect to store my Holiday ribbons, I  used strips of paper to cover the pink sides and top,  I punched a hole for the top ribbon and added some fun Holiday foam stickers. Now my Holiday ribbon will not get mixed in with my regular ribbon!

Chrstimas already!

It comes too quick!

I used DoodleCharms for the Tree and Snowflakes for the embossing folder. I embossed another sheet of white and punched out a few of the snowflakes and used pop dots to pop them up and added silver glitter.

I usually make my cards 5 1/2 X 41/4 but this one is a large 5X7, this allowed me to make the tree at 6 1/4" super large for a card instead of  3 1/2".

I added these cool lights using my hot glue gun.

Lights are from Lemax Accessory. I bought them at Michael's last year.

Now that we are having BEAUTIFUL Arizona weather we decided this year to get a fire pit! We are going  to cook hot dogs and smores on it! I made this invite for our friends next door to come and join us!

The fire is from Create A Critter, I used Divine Swirls on his outline and traced them with glitter glue. The red background I used the Bubbles Cuttlebug Folder. The border was from a paper stack.
