Pink Cat Studio Get Well

A co-worker of mine had to have emergency surgery over the weekend so this is the card I made for him.  I've been doing so many Christmas cards it was really nice to make something else!  This is such a cute image and I'm hoping it will bring a smile to his face while he is recovering.  I'm sure everyone is running around like a lunatic like me.  No matter how much I think I've planned ahead and done things ahead of time the week before Christmas I'm running around like a mad woman.  To much to do, not enough time!!  I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year, I know it's not about the gifts but I'm so excited ot give Mark and Angelina their gifts this year!  I love when someone loves their gift ~ makes me happy.  Well it's almost Friday, lots of cookies to make this weekend.  Enjoy everyone.

High Hopes Release

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!!
