Do Not OPEN ''till December 25th!!

A really quick post i have a family that is very very sick with the flu....the clincher is the on again off again fever.The thing is ,that flu isn't consistent one day the kids are acting like they could climb a mountain the next totally lethargic and if i wasn't sick along with them i'd truly question how sick they really are.I have been getting little sleep but alot of coloring done. OK this is another ccd cutie...hope you like it.It is watercolored in my most favorite way and i do truly looove the pine tree shapeability by spellbinders.I didn't think it was as flexible as it truly is.I LOVE IT!!!
Its a simple card for today...i hope your week is well and everyone well in your home.Oh by the way i used the buckle is from the hodgepodge hardware by stampin up and it took me a bit to find someone who still sells stampin up but here she is her website:www.cindypiggot.stampingup.net .She sells strictly stampin up so if you need to get some of those items i have been using look her up.
Have a GREAT week/end

Sparkly & Bright!!

Another image from a sneak peak of what is coming.Trevor is so sweet here and i guess i could have added the tree.I used scraps of bobunny patterned paper and 3 stampin up punches 2 different star sizes and the leaf die for the mantle look.By the time i was done i wasn't too fussy about my mantle look that the ornaments are hanging off of.I do have a sizzix ornament (compatible w both my cuttlebug and bigshot machines)however it has been lent out so i ended using the stars on their own. As you may have guessed i wcolored the image with OMSpirits and wcpencilcrayons.The sentiment & hanging ornaments are also by ccdesigns.
Then i layered,3d'd, added glossy and stickle accents and embossed the stars using my cuttlebug and swirl divine folder ( matches the ornaments)and added some embellishments.
Hope you have a GREAT week!!

Warm Winter Wishes

I really cannot wait until the humble pie images arrive.....until then i am playing with my ccd holiday kit.I took a big chance on this card because I used alot of different techniques i don't normally use.My kids weren't well today and now i can feel a headache coming on. The bench,Emma,tree,and sentiment are all CC Designs and the dog (a favorite) is High Hopes.
So i stamped up the trees on 140Lb wcolor paper and then added the bench ,dog,and Emma later.I watercolored the images using OMS,and blending stumps as well black staz-on ink.
I pulled out my paper piercing mat which i called someone to see if i could link her up this is from Stampin UP and my fiskars blade and cut out the long slats in the bench and the small part in between her boots.
Then I glued the bench down using my trusty GlueGlider Pro and I 3d'd Emma holding hot chocolate mug and I 3d'd the dog.I used my nestabillity with the best ever embossing mat from Scribbles & Scraps (in sarnia) for the sentiment.The papers are a variety....140Lb wc paper,We R Memory Keepers patterned paper as well as "tis the season patterned paper" by BoBunny, and the rest is by Bazill.The flowers are Prima and only for $3.45...the brads are Basic Grey and the rhinestones are by Kaiser.I also added stickles as an accent as well I added glossy accents to the nose and collar on the dog .I will have to find a SU Demonstrator link and get back to you tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed this as much as i did putting this together.

A Hair-Raising Experience and SALE!!!!

These cuties are new by CCDesigns.I actually had so much fun using this cutie that it was "hair-raising".But tell me isn't she the sweetest thing ever .Her name....Fidget Goblinspider!! I really love my top note die by Stampin' Up. I also cut out some circle and scalloped nesties and used my best-ever embossing pad by Scribbles and Scraps (in Sarnia)(best $10 dollars ever spent).I used my favorite colors when making this card.It will go to a very sweet friend who is sewing up a storm for me.....she makes these most amazing purses and she is making me 2 ,one for each of my girls.This mother that is making these purses sells them like crazy right about this time of year.I got my order in early...yeahhhh...i can't wait to see the look on the girl's face when they get them.Generally she makes them for adults and teens but my girls loooove purses sooo much that my pre-teen will be getting one too.

So i stamped fidget up on watercolor paper using black staz-on ink.I colored her using my wc pencilcrayons,oms,and blending stumps.
She was so much fun.I also want everyone to know my sale starts this Wednesday EVERYTHING is buy 1 get the 2nd of EQUAL or LESSER value for 50% off!!
Have a GREAT Week!!

CCD christmas kit

I had so much playing with my ccd holiday kit that i had to share.The tree,sentiment,and skiing trevor are each part of the kit.As you can tell i used i stamped the trees on first then i masked the trees and stamped trevor on.Then i stamped trevor again colored him,cut him out and pieced him on.
I colored my image using watercolor pencil crayons , OMSpirits,and my blending stumps.
I used my nestabillities to cut and emboss 2 medium size trees,i also cut out 2 top notes using my top note die by stampin up and used my cuttlebug folder to emboss with the elegant writing.Then i added the embellishments...i pulled out some of my hard to use snowflakes with brads by "Spare Parts".I added stickles and glossy accents to the hat and image.
I 3d'd and glued everything using my 3d foam and i used my pro glu glider for the adhesive which i absolutely love and added "O Christmas Tree".
I love that he is skiiing perfect for the winter wonderland kind of weather.Well i have kids that are sick today so off i go to take care of them!!
Have A GREAT Sunday!!
