Anyone for Some Candy Corn.......

TGIF!!!! Here is another little cutie I have made for another co-worker. I have 2 women teaching me my job and my new boss so I have 3 cards that I want to finish by next week. I really want to thank them for all their efforts. I used another stamp from Stampin' Up. Like I have said before I have had these for gosh at least 7 or 8 years and really think they are adorable.

I colored my image and the cut it out in the shape of my candy corn and matted it. I cut out the top of the pumpkin and the candy itself twice and pop dotted them to give it dimension. I sewed around the perimeter and added a piece of ribbon to separate my two DP's. I stamped the sentiment and then added a tiny button of candy corn on top. I hope you like!!

Just A Little........

Good day all. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was a great one here in our house The Wisconsin Badgers, our college football team beat the number1 team in the country the Ohio Buckeyes! It was quite a celebration!!!! I have little time to post since I am doing this before I go to work, so I better get to it.

I chose this little guy to make to give to one of my new co-workers for Halloween. It is a Stampin' Up stamp from a set of Teddies. I really have a soft spot for Teddy Bears and just thought he was too cute. I colored him and then cut and doubled up some of the pumpkins with pop dots to give dimension. I added some stickles, a trio of buttons tied with some raffia to match the raffia bow. I stitched around the perimeter and added the sentiment that also came in the set!!! I hope you like.

Boo.....

Happy Sunday To All! I finally had a bit of time to spend playing and pulled out a set of mine that I have had for probably now 10 years at least! So I blew all the dust off and decided to use it. LOL!!! It is a Stampin' Up Set and has all these cute little Halloween critters.

I colored my image and then added a bit of stickles I wanted a dimensional card so I stamped parts again and double layered the mouses cape and the large pumpkin. I used one of my decorative scissors to cut the image out and then attached it to my black card stock with some silver brads. To keep with our spooky feel I tore the paper at the bottom and used a star DP at top to match the Trick or Treaters hat. My final touches were my spider hanging from a spider web and my sentiment in scrabble tiles. I hope you like!

Joy......

Hello again for another Fabulous Friday Challenge at the PCP group i{heart}copics!!! This week we have a color challenge for you all. Now if you do not have the exact copic colors you can always use something close to the colors. We do not expect you to run out and buy them but you can order at a great price from i{heart}papers. The three colors for this weeks challenge are - B91 (Pale Grayish Blue) BG15 (Aqua) and Y21(Buttercup Yellow)

I wanted to try something a bit different on this project so I did a newspaper color wash that I found on a tutorial on my friend Randi's blog and you can find right HERE. You take your paper and saturate it with W0 - W3 before you color with your copics. A very light touch is used. I love the way it gives a watercolor effect with copics.

The colors I used on this project were: BG11, BG15, B91, Y21, Y26, E33, E00, E02, E33, E25, W1, W3.

The stamp is from Stampin' Up. I do not know the name of the set. I cut the frame with my sizzix and added some pearls and stickles. A flower from Prima and the matching sentiment. One last little embellishment added was a tiny Hero Arts butterfly. I am kinda diggin them right now.

After waking up to snow this morning this card kinda took me back to my favorite place in the world. No other place I would rather be, on the beach under the sun, in front of the ocean kissing the sand and I felt a bit better!!! If only!!!!

I hope you all join us for the challenge or if you have any questions or just want to chat you can always find someone at PCP i{heart}copics.

Oh I Miss Summertime!!!

I live in Wisconsin and you think I would be used to winter and snow but each year I keep saying the same old thing!!! Why do I still live here?????? Now I know the answer, my family and friends live here. My husbands job is here, blah, blah, blah..........but I can dream... We go on vacation each year to Hilton Head Island off the coast of South Carolina and we are right on the beach. Oh how I love the ocean. Anyway this scene reminds me of that! So when I look out my window and see my foot of snow and my back aches from shoveling and my feet are always cold and my throat is sore, I dream of my get away. Walking on my beach, smelling the clean air and listening to the sound of the ocean kissing the sand. Here is my card as a reminder of better days to come!!!!!!!
