All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge-Sketch Challenge

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a good day with lots of food. We just got back from my family festivities. We had food with my mom's family today at 1 and food with my dad's family at 5, so we're all fooded out.

But yesterday I made this card for the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge. It was a sketch challenge. And I used a Swiss Pixie stamp.


The ribbon came from Michael's and it matches the color of the scarf really nice in person.

I stamped something on the inside, because I liked it.

That's it for now, I've got hot cocoa, so I must be going.

Elf Shoe Card

I'm still busy busy working on Christmas cards, and this is what I have today.
I've seen someone do this somewhere, but can't remember where. Elf shoes! How cute is this...

The stamp is from the Ollie and Griselda Halloween set over at All That Scraps, I made Halloween cards with it as witch shoes.

Yes, those are real jingle bells on the shoes..so when you shake the card they make noise.

This is the inside, I don't have a saying or anything..yet, I'm waiting on the approval from the boss lady.

Short post today, that's all I have for now.

Two for One Special

I know it's been a while but I've been busy, so today you are getting a 2 for 1 special..lucky you.

My mom's birthday is Monday, and she came over today so I can put the card up now that she has it. She works as a nurse, so Nurse Anya from The Greeting Farm seemed appropriate.

I embossed the Happy Birthday..it was just a wood mounted stamp from Hobby Lobby I stamped a bunch of times with embossing ink. I can't keep it from smudging, well it's not smudging, it's extra powder I can't get off the cardstock...I have an embossing buddy..but it doesn't seem to help. But in this case the smudging matches the paper I used, so it worked out.


This is the inside, I wrote something fun and witty..ha.

These are the Copics I used to color Anya..not very many this time. I always use the colorless blender..it makes it look like I can color in the lines.

Now for the 2 part. My mother has asked me to make Christmas cards for the people she works with, which I said I would do since I wasn't going to make my own this year..we're sending out one of those photo card things this year for the first time.
Anyway, so the reason she came over today was to sort of plan out what she wanted. So in the future you'll be seeing more Christmas cards for my mom.

This is the first one that is finished. I have lots of pieces and such of many more cards in the works. But this one was easy to finish up today. She just basically wanted something with religious tones. This stamp is from All That Scraps. It's Cookie Crumbs Reason for the Season.
I used lots of star brads.
This is the inside, I haven't decided if I will use one of the sentiments that came with the set or not..I'm waiting for mother feedback. Go figure.

Anyway, that's all for now. I have lots more things to be working on, and since we have no plans for today I hope to finish up some more stuff.

All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge-Thanksgiving

The challenge for this week's All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge was to make something Thanksgiving related.

I colored this Sugarplums image a while back, I was using it to practice my copic coloring, AmyR at Prairie Paper & Ink did an image like this, so I looked at it and tried to copy it because I just love how she colors...ha who would have thought I'd say that as an adult, about another adult.

Anyway, so I've had this image, and I decided I'd use it to make a quick Thanksgiving card.

The image obviously came from All That Scraps. Sugarplums Pumpkin Emma.
All of the fall stamps were very cute, but this one was my favorite.

The ribbon came from Michael's. All the paper came from Hobby Lobby, it's just plain cardstock, I didn't use any patterned paper.

The inside is pretty plain too, I cut out the pumpkins to add a little something extra. I mostly just wanted room to write something..I'm planning to send this to a friend.

That's all for now, it's time for work.

Swiss Pixie Christmas Card

I apologize for taking so long to post something new..but I've been busy. We spent this last Saturday at my in-laws helping them with their HUGE landscaping project. Then we had dinner on Sunday with my mom...so not a lot of time for card making.

I've gotten a lot of new stamps lately, and I've been coloring them and such, so today I made a Christmas card with one of my favorites.


I just love this stamp. It's a Swiss Pixie holiday stamp from All That Scraps.

I made the ornament with some shiny silver paper I had. I glued 2 pieces together to make it stronger, punched a hole in it and made the hook with floral wire. I think it turned out pretty cute.

You can see the hook a little better here. The paper I used is from My Minds Eye. The ribbon is from Michael's or Hobby Lobby or something.

This is the inside, the sentiment came from the Winter Stamp Kit from All That Scraps, but they were on special a few weeks ago, but haven't been released as separate stamps yet.

These are the Copics I used to color the image. I'm still perfecting the picture taking of these markers. They are shiny so they glare really easy.

That's pretty much all I have for now, hopefully I can make a few more cards this week.

Halloween Dinner

We had a blast last night. Dinner was delicious and we had a great game night with our friends Brandon and Lori.

No Halloween would be complete without spiderwebs.

Are you scared yet?

We eat by only candle light.

I go to great lengths to collect cool candles.

Bloody glasses...you don't mind do you?
It just looks gross...but it was delicious.

Spiderbread. Yum!

Blood and worms to go on the Feet of Meat.

Feet of Meat..so good!


Spiderweb cheesecake..it was my first cheesecake attempt..it was a beautiful thing!

The pumpkins we carved at Jonathan's parents house.


You know you want to make your own feet of meat. I'm making some for my coworkers on Thursday..I hope they like it as much as I do.
