SSCC Winter Challenge

It has been absolutely gorgeous here in Southern California for the last couple of weeks, so I think I could have gotten away with a beachey card…or a BBQ card or something with bunches of spring flowers, but I think that may have generated a lot of hate mail from my Midwest friends….  ;)

So…I went with something more traditionally wintery, like this cutie from Bildmalarna,   Mimosa Lights the Way. The large snowflakes were cut on my Cricut using the Lacey Labels cartridge.

If you haven't had the chance to see newest collection from Bildmalarna, Little Winged Friends.  They are by far, the most darling collection yet and they’re available right now for pre-order from StampingScrapping.com

Thank you so very, very much for visiting and I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Other Supplies Used: Ticket Sentiment from ScrapAddicitve

Happy New Year Friends!

I hope that you are all enjoying a peaceful, relaxing finish to the holidays and that 2011 is filled with love and happiness.

It’s early Sunday morning and I’m enjoying a cup of coffee while waiting for my new internet service to be installed, so if you never hear from me again….you’ll know why… ;)

My card today is actually for two challenges. Both the Bildmalarna Anything Goes Challenge and the Scrappy Frogs Sentiment Challenge. Go me!

I chose an image from the Bildmalarna 2010 Christmas collection, Excited Mimosa…which works perfectly for a birthday card too. My sentiment is from the very versatile SSD set of stamps, Label Accents. I matted Excited Mimosa using the Spellbinders Lacey Circles. Both stamps and the Spellbinders Lacey Circles are available for purchase at StampingScrapping.com. Cindy has so many exciting new things in store for us all in 2011! If you get a chance, be sure to check out the new stamps and coordinating dies. So gorgeous!

Thank you so much for stopping by!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

 

Just one more day before Thanksgiving and I really wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. We will be spending the day with our family and that is my absolute… favorite thing to do! The next day…I’ll be out at O dark thirty, listening to the Chipmunks sing All I Want for Christmas, while sipping a Peppermint Mocha….while playing bumper cars in a crowded shopping mall parking lot… :)

Our challenge at the Bildmalarna Blog is Christmas and this gave me the perfect opportunity to use my Mimosa with Stocking Cap along with a few more poinsettias. This time though, for my poinsettias, I used an svg. file from Penny at Penny Duncan Creations. Do yourself a huge favor and visit Penny’s blog. You will be amazed! Penny even has a wonderful video tutorial on how to make a poinsettia using her file.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I truly hope you

have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Happy Fall Y’all

I bet you were expecting another Halloween project or maybe even a Fall Decor item and yes, I can see how that would have made sense…

It’s just that with the weather still as hot as a Hot Dog in Hades, I felt like something summery and since a Pina Colada wasn’t an option, I chose a to make a card for our Anything Goes With a Bildmalarna Challenge.

My stamp for this card is another one of my very favorite Bildmalarna stamps, Rose Mimosa. Geez, isn’t she just SO cute?

I hope I’ve inspired you to join us for the Anything Goes with a Bildmalarna Challenge.

Supplies:

         Stampin’ Up DS Paper

       SVG file was used for the mat

Prima Flower

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch

Fast card…fast post!

Our challenge this month at Scrappy Frogs is hand made flowers…and since I’ve been having a lot of fun making all sorts of hand made flowers lately..this was just perfect for me.

I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die, which makes it  piece of cake to whip out these little guys. To make this card even easier, I simply printed out my sentiment with the Stampin’ Up!,  My Digital Studio. The chunky glitter on my flowers is Twinklets Diamond Dust, which can be found in the glue aisle ( makes perfect sense…right?)) at Michaels. I just used tiny droplets of Crystal Accents for my glue and sprinkled the Diamond Dust on top.

How easy is that?

TaDa!

Relax and Enjoy

 

Quick post and a question. Why is it that short weeks actually seem longer? Things that make you go &*%$! :)

Our challenge at The Bildmalarna Blog is to make a bookmark. Having never made a bookmark…I was just a tad intimidated, but I was told to think of it as a mini scrapbook page or a card and so..I did. Super easy!

Oh and good news…tomorrow is Friday!

California was having such a pleasant, mild summer.

Emphasis on was.  Holey Moley is it ever HOT! If I were laying next to George Clooney, poolside with an umbrella drink, and ocean view, ….. and it was five  twenty years ago…I might feel differently…but now it’s just HOT!

I had such a great time with this folded frame card (not George Clooney fun, but fun still). Beate of Fresh and Fun has a fantastic video tutorial.

For my card, I chose Mimosa’s Summer Flower which is available for purchase along with so many other adorable Bildy Stamps at StampingScrapping.com.

I hope you’ll be able to join us over at the Bildmalrana Blog. You could win a gift certificate to StampingScrapping.com, simply by entering the current challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by. See you soon!

Shhh….don’t look now…..it’s Friday!

I know…pretty exciting, isn’t it?

Our challenge at the Bildmalarna Blog is to use embossing. In my head…I had planned a embossed layer, but when I finished my card…I realized…there was no embossing. Ack!!

Then, I remembered….I could just add an embossed sentiment.

Pretty smart, huh?

For my card, I chose Mimosa Sitting, which is in stock right now at

StampingScrapping.com

 

Thank you so very much for stopping by and please…don’t forget to head over to the Bildmalarna Blog to see the rest of the DT inspiration.
