Fruitcake and Hollies....

These little guys are so adorable with their festive hat and gift~but like I always say, only in animation! I do not care for mice IRL...I happened upon a store that was doing a card swap with "animal christmas" as a theme, well, the rest if history because I made it my mission to make these cards. lol

Decided I love my paper stash and cardmaking goodies again...didn't touch it for sooo long I was starting to wonder if I might ever get back to it again. Gasp...but here I am. Enjoy!!!

Motivet Blog Candy....

These adorable stamps are to be had!! I was hooked when I sat through a colouring session using Dexter making a snowman at the Heirloom Stamp show in York...they are so cute! We all made an adorable card that looked "just like Stephanie's" under careful instruction of her husband and here is the stunning result!! ...ta-da.......
Not only were these cute, the company is located in Canada...all the more reason to show my love and support to "my home and native land..."

Take a peek at all the other beautiful cards on their blog!

Blogger MIA

Hello to all my blogger friends! I still exist in the paper crafting world! Although I must say that I have not had too much time with scrapping creativity! With what I did get completed...here are some stolen moments! :)


This was made with a set from Sweet&Sassy stamps combined with words from CTMH. The image coloured with Copic markers, a new favourite.

And finally...



This card was made with SU's Music expressions! I fell in love with it when it came out in our catalogue and finally got to use it!

All cards made with SU cardstock, designer papers from various companies, Copics, nestabilities, Cuttlebug folders, ribbons, brads and pearls.

I want to hold your hand...

Another cute image from my friend Brandi! She stamped all these Elzybels and they have been the most fun to colour and put together. This one is perfect for Valentine's, although I would be quick to say I didn't colour it in the traditional reds/pinks because I wanted to use my limited supply of copics...silly, I know!

Materials: Elzybel, Basic Gray lilykate, Night of Navy, Sage Shadow, Whisper White CS, MS heart punch, Michaels ribbon.

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Take Care of Yourself...

Can you tell what my new toy is? love this new Birds and Branches Sizzix die we carry in the catalogue! I textured the baja breeze and layered the dies over that and tied a ribbon on one of the pieces. Used Word window punch for the sentiment. Love this new level one set you can earn when you host a show!

Take a look at the next card for Materials list...thanks for looking!

Nice Matters~

This die cut has an elegant feel...love the combination with this designer paper from SU! I added the Gray Taffeta ribbon that we carry in the accessories section of the catalogue!

Materials: SU! Sweet little Sentiments *hostess, Birds and Branches die, Urban Garden DSP, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze(ahhh...), chocolate Chip, misc. green scraps(SU of course!)CS

Elzybell birdie~

These are adorable! I have had the most fun colouring them in. I kept this one simple and sweet, pulled out a few snowflake die cuts from my stash and combined it with the dotted paper(scenic route?)Of course I had to add something, so these mini pearls came in handy! Love how it turned out!

Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Good Friends - I stink you're sweet!

Love this little skunk...he is just too sweet! I have been making thank you cards!
I coloured him using my new copics, Yay! I combined papers from my stash of scraps...along with some yummy ribbon and cool punches, he was ready to debut! Don't you just love him?

Material: SU! Pun Fun, misc. DP, MS punch, oval punches and ribbon

This is one of my favourite images from Rubber Romance! Maybe because it is one of the two I own? haha. Love colouring this gal with all her chocolates. Again, I delved into my scrap pack and pulled some yummy colours together, coupled with SU punches and of course the ever ready MS border punch! of course, she needed some bling so I added a few glitter hearts :)

Thanks for looking!
