With DH & I having some medical setbacks lately, my GF & her mom sent over some yummy goodies for us and I found that The Stamping Boutiques Teapot Banner perfect for the card. You can find the teapot here.

added some glitter bits,

used an embossing template to 

make the swirls & flowers

Ali's Birthday Book...

Well to say that our furry child is spoiled isn't an understatement!   I made this letter book for Ali our American Cocker Spaniel,.  The chipboard letter pages were cut on the cricut & decorated with various DP papers, bling & photos of Ali.

Changing of the Season

Today is the beginning of a new challenge from the The Stamping Boutique!!

The theme is "Changing of the Season" & hop over the blog to see some awesome inspiration!

 

I made this card using TSB's Princess Jennifer Latte's hairstyle digi image in an array of fall colors!  I colored PJL with copics, added lots of layers of papers & copic colored die cut felt flowers & a pearlized ribbon, lots of coordinating bling & some buttons too.  Lettering is my own - knit knack version.  Also I ink-distressed all the paper edges which I think works well.

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..

Give Thanks

The weather has definitely changed - we had snow upon the highway passes UGH!   I'm thinking this scarecrow is toasty warm in his plaid-ish jacket!  

I used copics for coloring, my Pogo letterstyle for 'Give Thanks' and a collection of solids - no patterned - papers for the autumn colors.  I had debated on using a splash of purple and a bright green but thought better.  The Scarecrow digi image is from The Stamping Boutique, added some buttons and bling & kept the whole design fairly simple...

Congratulations Survivor!

I love this image from The Stamping Boutique of Princess Jennifer Latte Breast Cancer Awareness Digital Stamp and love that's she's in a festive mood!

I layered her onto embossed papers - the pink background, the large purple back ground and a strip of stripes that were embossed too! Even under the sentiment, the blue is embossed... its kinda hard to see but its there...

PJL was colored with copics, as were the flowers & bling and I added my lettering (knit knack) for the sentiment.  PJL is entered into the following challenges...

Ghouls Gone Wild!

First I saw a Halloween sign 'Ghouls Gone Wild' and then I was determined to use these colors, then I found the digital image 'Gothic Girl' from Torico and found a sketch from Stamptacular Sunday Challenge... and well here you go...

 I love how it turned out - adding the orange & white twine really worked and the dot flourishes are glow in the dark paint; 'Gothic Girl' is colored with copics; the lettering is my own 'Pogo' letterstyle with the brush tip of copics, added some bling; on a 6"w x 5 1/2" high top folded card ready to send...

'Ghouls Gone Wild' is entered into the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #128 sketch

Happy Fall...

It seems like its the season but yet here we are with 32ºC temperatures this week - we are certainly getting the warm weather that we should have had earlier - along with the heat, it leads to forest fires as our forests are more than crispy dry.  Thank goodness the Bear Creek fire is contained & all the residents are back home safe & sound.. It certainly makes us watch the mountains around our house closely...
Here is my challenge for today - Happy Fall ...

I been busy with another card!  this will be for my awesome mom-in-law's birthday - oops special day - she's not counting them anymore now!  

The card design is a Tag Easel Card by www.crafticious.blogspot.com and her very thorough instructions.  I used a collection of papers, die cut flowers, fabric flowers, funky cord, blings, buttons; used copics to customize (match) the colors of the card.  And the green heart is a hand cut stamp that I had done eons ago.  The lettering is my calligraphy letter style 'Pogo' done with a brush pen.
