Sweet Christmas Treat


Hello my posts this week are very short, but at least I am getting my projects up.  After this week things will slow down for me, and hopefully I will have some sweet down time.

Today I am showing you a sour cream container I made for Carolina's anything but a card challenge this week on StampTV.  I was inspired by Carolina's sample and had to get right to this one.  I started with pure luxury white and clear embossed the snowflakes.  Next I sponged with bashful blue over the whole thing.  Then it was just a matter of taping it together and filling with candies.  Normally I would have used a crimper to seal the ends, but I can not find it so I used my scorpal to score a couple of lines, it worked great.   The whole thing only took me about 15 minutes.

Make sure you come back later night I have a card for Theresa's Life is Good blog hop. 
Thank you for stopping by.

Celebrate Winter


I have been a bad blogger, and I am sorry.  This is such a busy time for all of us and I just have not been able to find time to post.  Happily I have found a little stamping time here and there.  I will be sharing with as often as I can.  I love the holidays, but every year I over extend myself.  some day I will learn.  So on to what you are here for.

Last week Selma ask if I would make a sample card for her Blast from the Past challenge on StampTV.  I said yes of course.  Selma is a super talented stamper and I really enjoy challenges.  Blast from the Past is a weekly challenge that is posted every Friday on StampTV in which Selma picks a challenge from the videos that Gina has done, each on featuring a different technique.  This week Selma choose was Partial Cuttlebug Embossing. Thank you for stopping by.

Another Christmas card


A quick post to show you a card I made for Shannon's color challenge this last week on StampTV.  I had this card almost done back on Monday, but felt it still needed something and then lost my creativity so there is sat until yesterday when I finally finished it.  I so hate it when that happens to me and after all of the thought I still don't care for this one that much, oh well.  Thank you for stopping by.

Putting on the Glitz


Here is another one of my multi challenge cards for Pile It On.  This is a digital image from Soft Pencil.  I started off coloring with copics, then I masked off the whole image and sponged with bashful blue.  Next I completely assembled the card even the snowflakes.  The last step was to add stickles for the tree ornaments and falling snow.  I used my Quickie glue pen on the snowflakes and the angels wings before giving them a good dusting of glitter.  I wish that the photo showed the glitter better, it really sparkles.  The paper is Eskimo Kisses from Basic Grey.  All of the challenges and cards details are listed below.

I am sorry that I have been such a bad blogger this week.  Work has been especially difficult and has zapped my creativity. That is behind me now so I am back to making cards and I have a bunch of more challenges I want to do. On a side note I finally made to see New Moon, and I have to say I loved it!   Jacob  is HOT in this one.  Thank you for stopping by.
