Bugaboo Elephant

This is one of my favorites.  It is by Bugaboo.  I kept the card simple and quick to put together.












I am using it in the following challenges:
   CAS on Sunday - Love
   Little Miss Muffet - Anything Goes
   Crafty Calendar - Anything Goes

This is it for tonight.  I will chat with you again tomorrow.  Have a good night.

Winter Wonderland

Hello.  How is everyone doing?  This past weekend was crop/craft weekend.  I had planned on making lots of cards from my power kits and then posting for all of you to see.  I ended up leaving my tape gun at home and I didn't get any of the cards completed.  I did all of the color and basic stuff but I couldn't finish them.

So I am going to work on finishing them over the next few days.

This was one of them.  This card was so much fun to put together.  The background texture is one of my Sizzix folders.  The birch trees are from Lawn Fawn.  The Snowman is from Di's Digitals.  It just has a little of everyone on it.







I am using it in the following challenges:
   Cute Card Thursday - Something Fun
   Simon Says Wednesday - Add a Sentiment
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes
   Just Add Ink - Something New (the Birch Tree dies are new)

Off to play around with something else.  Chat with you later.

Quick and Simple

Hello again.  I have a really quick and simple one for you.  The other day when I pulled out my glitter folder, I noticed I had a lot of red scraps.  I told myself, I would go back and use them for a Valentine's Day card.  Today was that day.

I used a die on the heart and the rose.  The Be Mine is from the Silhouette store.  I glued every thing together and there you have one quick and simple card.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   A Gem of a Challenge - Happy Anything
   CAS on Sunday - Love

I don't know if I will be back tonight or not.  If not, have a great night.  Chat with you later.

Silhouette

Hello.  How are all of you?  I forgot to post my card yesterday.  How did I forget?  I even took the picture.  Oh well, here it is.

Yesterday, I wanted to do something with my Silhouette.  I made this card years ago for my son and I decided to make it again.  When I made it for him, I used a gray background instead of white.  And on the USB stick I put an Alabama A.  Yesterday, I just used the heart that came with it. You can find the file here.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Dream Valley - Anything Goes #170
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes #358

Off to play around.  Chat with you later.

Snow Day - Official Over

Hello again.   I did make it back tonight (or is it morning since it is now 1:30 am).  Here is the picture of my cleaned off table.  As I said earlier, I didn't get every thing done but the table looks clean and I have room to work now.

I left my next few projects on my work area. 
     1)   I want to put the candy on the snowman toppers.  I need them for next Saturday. 
     2)   I made the cute little Doodlebug coffee cups and I need to use them.
     3)   I saved the circles from the swing card and I thought I would use the bear and make some Christmas tags.
     4)   I want to make a couple of the Valentine's cards.

I don't think I will get any thing done tomorrow.  My husband and I are going to be out and about tomorrow.  Just spending the day together.

Chat with you later.  Have a good night.  Sleep tight and don't let those bed bugs bite.

Snow Day Part 3

Hello again.  Well this is the last one for today.  I forgot tonight was Game Night so I didn't get as much craft time as I was thinking.  But that is okay.  Game Night is always fun.

I worked on this card most of the afternoon. Even though, I had all the bears and pieces stamped and cut.  I still had to cut all of the card pieces including the mountain tops.  It took a long time, but it was worth it.  This is going to be one of my favorite cards for the year, I think.

I got the idea for the card from here.  I did make a few changes to make it mine.  All of the stamps come from the Beary Happy Holidays set from Lawn Fawn.  I cut the mountain tops from Silhouette Online along with the snow base.  The card is also from Silhouette Online.  I sized it down to fit two cards on a page.

This is just the cutest card.  If anyone from Lawn Fawn see this, thank you so much for the idea.  I just love it.  I am so glad I bought this set a couple of weeks ago.

I am using the card in the following challenges:
   Catch The Bug - Anything Goes
   Simon Says Monday - Winter Blues
   Paper Shelter - New Beginnings
   Cupcake Inspiration - Winter
   The Cat's Pajamas - Make A Scene

I will post a picture of my table either later tonight or tomorrow morning.  I didn't get as much done as I wanted but it does look better.

Chat at you later.  Have a great night.

Snow Day Part 2

Hello again.  It has been a couple hours and I have a few things done.  I got several of the bulky things off my table.  My last card project is all cleaned up and put away.  I can actually see my table in spots.

I made this card last week and never posted it.  I love this style.  I have the pattern in a birthday pattern too.  Maybe I will make some of them after Valentines.   It doesn't leave a lot of room to write a note but I just think it is unique.

You can find the pattern over at Silhouette Online.  It is just a quick and cute card to put together.  One thing, I did different.  Instead of cutting pieces to go under the card.  I cut one long stripe.  I just like it a little better that way.

I added the flower/swirl texture to the big heart.  I thought about putting gems on it but I didn't not to.  I didn't have enough of the heart background paper so the last few had a different pattern. 

I am going to use this in the following challenges:
   City Crafters - All You Need Is Love
   Simon Says Wednesday - Use Pattern Paper
   As You Like It - Anything Goes
   Creative Knockouts - Anything Goes


Well off to work on something else.  Have a great day and I will chat with you later.
