Toasty

Good Morning.  I hope it is sunny and warm where you are because it is COLD here.  It is getting down into the 30's here at night.  Way too cold for May.

It's Tuesday so it is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  This week's theme is Animals.  I chose this cute mouse from  Kraftin Kimmie.  We all have animal stamps.  You should play along.  I would love to see what you create.

You need to check out the great creations from the other DT's.

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Stamp with Fun - Sketch - I was happy to see I could use this image with this sketch.   I liked the simplicity of it.

Lexi's Creations - Animals - I bought this stamp a while ago.  I was happy to use it!

Crafty Calendar - The great outdoors - Roasting marshmellows on an open fire says camping!!  I'm not a camper but it reminds me of my Girl Scout days.

The Creative Cottage - Food or Drink - I love toasted marshmellows especially with chocolate and graham crackers (s'mores).

Totally Papercrafts - Stitching - I love faux stitching.  I actually love the real thing but mine never looks good.

My Time to Craft - Too Cute - This is why I bought this stamp.  It is just so cute.

Practical Scrappers - Punches - I used the MS leaf punch and the spellbinders swirl die on this card.

Thanks for stopping by to look at my card.  Thanks to everyone who leaves comments.  I appreciate all of them.

Snow Much Fun

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone is having a good after Christmas week. I have been really lazy. I need to get busy if I am going to get everything done this week I promised myself I would do. I have made some time to stamp though. Funny how that works.

This is my first Kraftin Kimmie stamp. I just thought he was so cute and different than my other winter stamps. When I saw the Crazy 4 Challenges sketch I thought this stamp would be perfect for it. I colored it with bright colors but still felt it needed something so I used my white gel pen and put dots on the scarf. I love my gel pen. I also used it on the snowflakes around the card. I didn't think I would like this MS punch when I bought it but noone had the one I wanted and in the past they sell out and then I don't have any. This worked out because I do like it alot. The only problem is that it makes the work area on a 5 x 5 card alot smaller and since so many stamps are large these days it can get a little hard to fit everything in.

The challenges this fits are:

Crafty Calendar - Winter Sparkle

Crazy 4 Challenges - Sketch

Kraftin Kimmie - Sparkle Baby

Kaboodle Doodles - Sparkling Winter

Practical Scrappers - Winter

Crafty Creations - No Rules

Lots To Do - Free Theme


Well, I have alot to get done today and so far I spent most of the morning on the phone with my sister. Tonight I am heading to my LSS store and dinner with her and some stamping friends. I am looking forward to it!!!

I hope you like my card. If you do please let me know. I love reading all the comments!!

Just Chillin

The weekend is finally here! I am planning to decorate my Xmas tree today. I have been looking at an empty tree for a couple of days now and it's ugly! I had to run all my errands early today because we are expecting about 5-6 inches of snow tonight. I hate driving in the snow.

Isn't this little guy cute? He's from Kraftin Kimmie stamps. He comes with a saying that says Just Chillin'. I thought that was cute with it but I wanted a holiday saying so I typed it out with the rest of my saying on the computer. I liked the Bo Bunny paper I used for the middle squares but it was shiny and didn'tlook good with my CS so I painted the CS with shimmers before I ran it through the cuttlebug. I stamped the snowflakes with a Rubberstamp tapestry set I have. I love the snowflakes in this set.

This card came about when I saw the Color Create challenge of Lilac with Aqua, Black and White. I actually dug into my stash of SU Caribbean. I don't have much so I hoard it. I don't know why but I do.

The sketch is from Friday Sketchers. I always like cards with the squares but I never think to do it so when I saw the sketch I knew I had to try.

There were 3 other challenges that came to mind when I was making this card. Crafty Cardmakers theme is Alternative XMAS, Spoonful of Sugar was Non-Traditional colors and Paperplay was Xmas without Red & Green. I knew I wanted to participate in these but didn't know what colors to use. I like the aqua and purple.

Allsorts posted their theme today and it is to use purple on your card. I like taking a break from Red and Green.

Thank you for visiting today. Let me know what you think. I love reading your comments.
