High Hopes Challenge For The Guys

High Hopes challenge this week was to make a masculine card....so hard not to put flowers on my cards lol~I resisted though but had to add the snowflakes and brad with just a lil glitter!!

I love this guy...colored with Copics. Happy Monday everyone I'm grateful it's a short week and am really looking forward to Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping. I have to put together my "game plan" and take a nap on Thursday! Hugs E

Stampavie Christmas Puppies

Christmas cuties! I love this Stampavie stamp, colored with pencils and OMS. Added some "snow" underneath their paws and a little crystal lacquer to the berries. Hope everyone is having a good weekend weather is supposed to be great today we have already had our first snow day from school - couldn't believe it. I think it caught everyone by surprise!

Wild Orchid Crafts

I just got my first order from Wild Orchid Crafts...oh my gosh...I love everything I got! I know, I know people have been raving about them for a long time and I was a little slow to order but it won't be my last that's for sure! Check them out you won't be disappointed. Happy Wednesday!

High Hopes Challenge

This weeks challenge is a "Birthday" card. I haven't used this image in a long time and it's one of my favorites.

I colored this with Copics and used Doodlebug glitter on the balloons and the present. Paper is Stampin Up. I usually color my image first and then choose my paper and I get frustrated because I can't find something to use with what I've colored so this time I went with paper first. MUCH better...duh...lol! Added flowers (of course!). Happy Monday it's cold here, frost on the grass not happy snow is sadly around the corner. Hugs. E

New Stampavie

I just adore the new Stampavie stamps I bought as many as the budget would allow! Couldn't wait to go pick them up and finally had some time to play with them. Made this card square which I don't normally do but I finally picked up some cello bags for square envelopes so I thought I would try a few. I've had the envelopes forever but kept forgetting to buy the bags. Colored with Copics.

Paper is Close to my Heart. Hugs everyone!

Christmas Cards

I really need to get working on my Christmas cards! Made this card using a High Hopes image, colored with pencils which I haven't used much lately. Thought the soft colors would be nice for this image.

Punched my own coordinating flowers. Hope everyone is having a good week!

Red & Green Challenge

This is the card I made for High Hopes Challenge Blog "Red & Green".

Colored with Copics...I didn't use any background paper I used one of my Cuttlebug folders which I constantly forget I own lol! I use my bug for my nesties all the time but forget about my folders. Added some ribbon and a candy cane brad. Hope everyone had a nice weekend the weather today was awesome!

High Hopes Cutie Pig & Girl

This is the cutest image! Colored with Copics. Border punch is a Martha Stewart one, added flowers and brads. Paper is a single sheet I had in my stash. Hope everyone is having a good Monday, it's a holiday for me so I get a day off! Wish I had every Monday off lol. Oh well!!

High Hopes Challenge 91

I made this card for the High Hopes blog challenge "Halloween" - if you didn't have any Halloween images you could substitute a fall image instead which is what I did. Paper and coordinating ribbon is from Close To My Heart. Colored with Copics. I'm off to the Inspiration Station today to pick up my Stampavie order! I pre-order some of the new holiday stamps and yay they are in!! Don't have any idea how much I spent!! Hope everyone has a great day it's beautiful here and it's a long weekend for us. Enjoy!
