I'm ssssweet on you!

2012-03-03T23:51:00.000-08:00

It's time again for the
Sentimental Sundays
challenge.

This week our challenge is to use a sentiment of

Words of Encouragement...

Now I am not much for snakes, in fact I can't stand them
but now, these two cuties...
well, they became ssssssweet on me!

As for Words of Encouragement...
I think being sweet on someone is great encouragement!

I used Charming from the Digi Doodle Shop,

colored with copics

(G20/21/82/85, RV14/19/25/29, YG03/63/67,

BV00/04/08, Y11/21, W1, E11/31/33/35), some pearls, bling,

glitter die cuts, die cuts, hand made flowers embellishment,

all papers I had hanging around & scraps;

all on a heart shaped card.

With the copics, I used a direct color application

to get the snake's spots.

and made the sentiment "I'm ssssweet on you"

We are being sponsored this week by Digi Doodle Shop

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts. It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps. Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.

Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

Digi Doodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

This weeks winner will be awarded a $10 Gift Certificate from Digi Doodle Shop.

It's time again for the
The Stamping Boutique's challenge.

Our Challenge #27 for you is to make a

Shaped Card...

(anything but square or rectangle)

"New Home"

For this card, I used the blossom card from myscrapchick.com
with the Happy Birthday Car from
The Stamping Boutique.
Colored with copics
(Y11/13/21, T4/6/8, C1/3/5, BV02/04, W1,V12,
BG02/10/15, RV14/21/25/34, G20/21/82, R39)
The ribbon bow is a very very light spring green &
some fun funky flowers color the car!
with the lettering Knit Knack done with a
white gel pen and black dots with a broad point
Slick Writer

It's time again for the
Sentimental Sundays challenge.

This week our challenge is
Lace & Pearls & a Sentiment...

We are being sponsored this week by Saturated Canary

Violet's Wishes...

I used Violet - a ragamuffin from Saturated Canary by Krista Smith

for my image along with a lace die-cut card face by my cricut , layered onto

a soft mauve blue background and with pearl accents throughout.

I'm not a lace & pearl kinda gal so this was a challenge for me. :)

I really wanted to keep it simple & soft & sweet.

I added the calligraphed 'wishes' along the bottom for the softness I desired.

Krista's description of Violet ...
Ragamuffins are children who are a bit untidy in appearance...
messy hair, soft rounded cheeks, and quirky smiles...
They are lovely little children with a sparkle in their eye
and a hint of mischief in their whispers.

Beautiful Hoar Frost...

2012-02-08T14:09:00.000-08:00

Our mornings have been so beautiful with the hoar frost...

it doesn't happen very often as conditions have to be just right...
and its been a week of fog & frost...
it's been stunning!

Here are some photos from our back yard & street.....

back yard view - not much snow!

another pic of the yard

large ponderosa pine - needles covered!

front/side yard

The Wiki definition...hoar frost refers to the white ice crystals, loosely deposited on the ground or exposed objects, that form on cold clear nights when heat losses into the open skies cause objects to become colder than the surrounding air. A related effect is flood frost which occurs when air cooled by ground-level radiation losses travels downhill to form pockets of very cold air in depressions, valleys, and hollows. Hoar frost can form in these areas even when the air temperature a few feet above ground is well above freezing. Nonetheless the frost itself will be at or below the freezing temperature of water.

Hoar frost may have different names depending on where it forms. For example, air hoar is a deposit of hoar frost on objects above the surface, such as tree branches, plant stems, wires; surface hoar is formed by fernlike ice crystals directly deposited on snow, ice or already frozen surfaces; crevasse hoar consists of crystals that form in glacial crevasses where water vapour can accumulate under calm weather conditions; depth hoar refers to cup shaped, faceted crystals formed within dry snow, beneath the surface.

The name hoar comes from Old English and can be used as an adjective for showing signs of old age in reference to the frost which makes trees and bushes look like elderly white hair. It may also have association with hawthorn when covered in its characteristic white spring blossom.

New Linky Followers info

I found this at It's so very Cheri and decided to give it a go. Here is the info she posted:

As you’ve probably heard, the popular Google Friend Connect (“GFC”) is going away Feb 29th for non-Google blog platforms like WordPress, and the scuttlebutt is that it will be eventually phased out completely to be replaced by Google+. YES you read that right. It has been on national news reports –all about how Google is phasing it out and not providing a service to move our followers–even saying the new Google+ will not be what the GFC was. {If you have not heard that news – sorry to be the one sharing that news with you but before you start hyper ventilating–KEEP READING — I also have some GREAT NEWS.} GFC was never really so much an “I follow this blog” tool as it was an attempt at the whole Facebook “friend, like” concept.

Bloggers know a good “follower” tool is really needed and we’d like to have one that is not tied to a million other services (seems like Facebook, Twitter and Google are linked to everything else on the Internet).

INTRODUCING LINKY FOLLOWERS (WWW.LINKYFOLLOWERS.COM)

Brent, the creater of Linky has made a FREE service that a group of mom bloggers have tested and helped develop. I highly recommend it to you.

Keep in mind this just started Feb. 2nd… and there will no doubt be some bugs that the test group didn’t catch. Just contact Brent (brent@brentriggs.com)… he is great about fixing things fast. Don’t let a bug or an “oops” hurt your first impression. You’re being invited to be some of the first users of this great new tool, and your feedback will help him iron out any problems very quickly.
One last thing, the inevitable question: can my GFC followers be automatically moved over? NO. Google won’t allow access to those accounts but more importantly, YOU really shouldn’t sign up someone to a new service. They should voluntarily sign up themselves. You’ll need to ask your GFC folks (and all your blog readers) to follow you using Linky Followers but its easy, quick and did I mention, free? They’ll love the tool. It’s a cool way to organize and follow the blogs you love.
There are really cool features that you did not have with the GFC tool.

You can get started by FOLLOWING ME from my Linky Followers widget just above my Google follower link. .

Once you sign up you can navigate around and look at everything. I like that you can add on blogs as favorites, ones I visit once a week, etc .....

Please follow me on the NEW

LINKY FOLLOWER TOOL

(just above my Blogger follower list)

GOOGLE Friend Connect will go away on Feb 29.

If you sign up for the Linky Follower tool I am following everyone that follows me.

Its super easy and FREE!

Die Cuts! New Challenge from The Stamping Boutique

2012-01-17T19:04:00.000-08:00

Today is the beginning of a new challenge

from the The Stamping Boutique!!

The challenge is Die Cuts

I used Help from a Friend Fairy available here

from The Stamping Boutique;

colored with copics,
using one of my favorite colors - purple,
added some clear glitter pen on

the wings and around...

For die cuts, all of the card is pretty well a die cut!

The card is a die cut tag card (4" x 5 1/2" folded),

striped tag die cut, scalloped tag die cut,
the letters

for HAPPY & the word 'birthday' are all die cuts.

I used copics to hand color the twine, added some

coordinating buttons...

Hope you like it!

Please hop over the blog to see some awesome inspiration!

While you are not required to use a TSB image to play in our challenge, it will give you 2 entries instead of 1 into our random.org winner's draw. Additionally, if you do a scrapbook/page layout, you will receive 2 entries into the draw..

Finding Peace....

2012-01-08T21:02:00.000-08:00

With this time of year with resolutions made,

resolutions kept & some to be broken

- one needs time to Find Peace -

it is a new beginning for many people

on many levels

...spiritually, physically, emotionally....

I found The Stamping Boutique's

PJL Peace digi, my newest digi, a treat to work with
and I hope you like it.

Here she is ...

Here's the deets...

I used copics for coloring

and if you notice PJL is layered ...

the Peace sign in the lower layer is cut out

and paper pieced in behind.

The 5x7 card is on a black backing with

Sizzix embossed sage green cardstock.

Added some DPs to the mix with the black

being the anchor color.

The Peace symbol is cut on my

Cricut & added just a touch of bling.

Plus a glitter black flower with a button center;

the twine is hand-colored onto a

black satin ribbon.

The sentiment is computer generated text, my own words.

I am entering Finding Peace into...

Digi Designs Challenge - Something New

Simon Says - New Something

The Corrosive Challenge - #140 Ring in the New Year

used glitter onto creative tape for a wonderful band of glitz!
I love how all this turned out...
a sweet little card...

Added some glitter dots & a cute little sentiment
