Hope your Holidays are TOASTY!!

I can hardly wait to post this.I am planning to enter this into KK challenge.

AnyHoo I was dying to finish off some of that scrap paper in my bin and so, this We R Memory Keepers paper (it was the only piece left) was begging me to be used so i said to myself how creative can i be.I did my best to make this festive by using tombow markers that were holiday colors.I mean can we make almost any color of marker festive.....SURE we can. I stamped this guy on Hot-Press 90Lb wcolor frosted paper.I used Black Staz-On Ink,a paintbrush and distilled water.


I used glossy accents for the inside of the ears and the nose...I added stickle to the flame and on the bottom of the toasted marshmallow....festive right?Of Course!!The brads and flowers are by Prima and i used kaiserscrapbooking Rhinestones....I used things that all went together that were all part of my stash....I have a serious bad habit wanting to use new stuff.The buttons are by the Paper Studio. Also part of my stash.


The marshmallow was to me the most important part...it needed to look toasty i used very careful delicate colors...i am pleased with how it turned out.Well i do wish you All a very festive ,warm, and "TOASTY" Holiday!!
By the way toasty is the sentiment that you will get with this cutie.

Have a GREAT Day!!

Happy Birthday "DEER" Friend!!

Another Kraftin Kimmie Card!!As I pulled this stamp with the excuse that i needed cards with these cuties .My goal was to use paper without cutting into new sheets....VERY hard for me to do.I wcolored this deer with tombow markers,a paintbrush and Distilled water.I inked my image using Black Staz-On Ink and stamped the image on 90Lb hot press wcolor frosted paper.




I used primas---hydrangeas....brads by paper studio and believe it or not absolutely no glitter but i did add some self-adhesived rhinestones by Kaiserscrapbook.This was a very fast yet simple card.I had absolute intentions of 3ding the actual image but i was watching a movie and cardmaking at the same time and i kafafalled.I was so dissappointed with myself....keep posted for a 4th Kraftin' Kimmie which also can be bought here at the TownScrapper!

Have a GREAT Day!!

Furever Friends!

Friendship is a delicate thing to mesh.....through the years you come to find out how easily pleased you are.I am the type who likes an upfront honest relationship.I like it when someone can just say it without fear and with kindness and who can accept that back with laughter.I have a friend who is very much gentle yet forthright.And through time she has become a very dear friend.Through the years i have had friendships that consisted of goofiness,laughter,and great times and even if we do not see each other due to distance etc they are full of fond memories.And i do love my friends and try not to take them for granted. I have had friends right there with each other through thick and thin( and i mean thick cause i am most definitely not thin) and sometimes we were an odd couple.And even our husbands are friends we will be forever friends with.These are wonderful growing relationships.My most growing relationship has been with God and this more with time. And with time i grow in a knowledgeable way.

I colored these cuties with wcolor Tombow markers, using distilled water,a paintbrush,and 90lb frosted hot press wcolor paper .I inked it up using black staz-On ink.I used my lighting coming in from the right side.This is another of Kraftin Kimmies's first release. This stamp is named Roxy and Bernice. I am trying to use stamps that have recieved great review but that I have no cards of.So I will have 2 more for you that are of KK's Stamps.

The patterned paper is Pebbles Inc. The cardstock bazill orange sherbert bling. The Brads are Spare Parts by the Paper studio and flowers are Prima Sugar Daisy.The metal flower is from my stash.I also added stickles to the flower that that Bernice is holding.

Have a GREAT Week,

Dog-Gone Cute!!

This is an image by Crissy and isn,t he sooo sweet this is a card for a niece who celebrates her 9th birthday tomorrow. Isn't she sweet.I had so much fun making this card.My Niece loves furry things so i hope she will like this cutie. And so happy birthday to my niece!! And so i watercolored this image with tombow markers using 90Lb hot press watercolor paper.I also used Bazill cardstock for the base and the patterned paper is bobunny and that small strip coming across is We R Memory Keepers.The flowers are Bazill.and everything you see her i got from The TownScrapper located here in Petrolia.Today The Townscrapper is Open extended hours till 5 pm.And my special is Buy One Get A second for equal or lesser value of 50% off!!
On the flower i used stickles and glossy accents for the center.I stamped the center twice and cut it out and layed it down so it looked 3'D.The collar has stickles on it as well as the heart has glossy accents also.

I made the light coming in from the right side. This pic is not the greatest. Sorry for that.
Ok Well have a Great Weekend!!Make sure to stop in and get some of these Kraftin Kimmie stamps.

Whiff of Joy is known for their awesome stamps but have you see her latest artist here is a card i made using Tombows. Now i did really Looove this sweetie and within the 1st couple of days of them coming in they really sold fast.I had all of her newest images except for one and people were driving in just for these sweeties.Inside of this card i used an all time favorite sentiment "I played my best for him pa rum pa pum pum" and i love this cards turned out.
When i brought this cutie in believe it or not it was the kitty that sold me....

These are in with the whiff of Joy mouse that i also only have 3 styles of in. I added some primas,sparkly brads and some scrap Bobunny paper and of course bazill Cardstock.And i decided to use my nestabillities with the most awesome embossing $10 pad (best ever) that i bought from scribbles and scraps.Gotta say when something is good its good and i am sure for those of you that have one you would most definitely agree.And of course i used my smooches where i could ...these are fantastic for accenting.And oh my goodness NO stickles but oh boy i had the itch for bling.

AnyHoo

Have a Happy-ThanksGiving to you from the States.

And have a GREAT day,

Phebe

Happy Birthday !!!

This a card i made with a birthday thought in mind.Everything used on this card is older however the paper is new as of last thursday and i cannot believe this but it has flown off the shelf.This company is called "We R Memory Keepers" and i love this line its absolutely one of my faves. I used an old technique that i haven't used in a while and thats watercolor markers(tombows),a #2 paintbrush,and distilled water. Of course i used the 140Lb wc paper to stamp on with black Staz-on.

Then i pulled out my sizzix dual heart die, and put it through my cuttlebug then i used my cuttlebug swiss dot folder.The cardstock is a red wine bling Bazill. I pulled out my scrap green cardstock and edge distressed all the edges and i love this technique.
For embellishments the flowers are from my stash,the brads are Spare Parts by The Paper Studio.Later i added Glossy Accents to the hearts to give it demension and sticles for the bowin hair,wings ,socks,and on the yellow on her dress.


If this doesn't work out as a birthday card perhaps i can give it as a christmas or valentine card.Its a simple card yet it took me till 2 am to put it together.
Have A Great Day!!
