XOXO

Can you even believe a Make it Monday on Monday? Well, I am home unexpectedly early and had a little time. Nichole had a great one on making your own pattered paper. I love doing this, but really wanted to use my outline alphas, so this is what I have.

Anything goes challenge

I got out the watercolor paper and my Izzy wanted to help out. Here is her creation. We are actually giving this to my Mom for her birthday. Who wouldn't want an Izzy origional.

I am hoping to get a few more fun cards uploaded. This one is going into the Simon Says anything goes challenge found here. Randy is on his outage right now, so my creative time is limited by far. I am also trying to get creative and submit some cards to some new calls. I haven't submitted in a few months and I really want to get some turned in.

3 posts in 2 days what?????

I know, I know what is going on? I seem to have a little time at night and I need a break from the maddness that is pre school halloween time:)

I adore this saying. If only I would get this in the mail to one of my firends who could use it :) I made this beauty for the Simon Says challenge this week. It is anything goes, so it will be fun to see what everyone comes up with.

Hopefully I will get to get my paints out to play a bit.

Make it Monday (not on Sunday LOL!)

Can you even believe I got this cutie done without waiting until Sunday? I might even have time to whip up anohter one. We will see. The challenge this week was to do a fun brayer technique. I'm not sure which side I was supposed to use, so I used the side with the indents pointing towards the back. It was a lot of fun and I already have an idea for another one.

I got this awesome color combo from the Color Q challenge. I can't wait to go and see all of the other creations.

PTI Blog Hop

Welcome to another fun PTI blog hop. This was a tricky one for me for some reason. We are in full Halloween mode around here, so I wanted to try my Halloween set that I got this year. Then I thought that the challenge was more a Thanksgiving theme and I went with the pumpkin looking treat bag die.

Here is my project

I have to admit I am a little dissapointed with this one. It looks like a tomatoe to me. What the heck. I tried to have different patterns in my pumpkin like the inspiration photo and that part I did like. I think it was the shape that didn't wow me. Anyway we are deep in the throws of pumpkin carving, so I need to go.

It's a good life!

Make it Sunday

It is make it Monday around here, but as always I am able to get it done and up on Sunday. Acutally the sad part is I usually have them done on Tuesday, but I don't seem to have time until Sunday to get them here.

I just got this stamp set from the buy/sell/trade section at the PTI fourum. I have sold some unloved sets there and I have found some great buys there as well. I was able to pick up grunge me and it was so much fun to see that cutie show up at my door.

It's a good life!

Make it Sunday

As tradition holds, this is a Make it Sunday kind of challenge for me. I adore PTI and love the video challenges they have been doing. I just can't get enough! My only "regret" is that I don't get to them quicker in the week. Here is my creation

Now I must say Nicole's idea about making wasaibi tape was FABULOUS!!!!! Really she needs to bottle up that geneious and sell it to the common people LOL! My issue is, I don't have the thick score tape or white tissue paper oh the horror!

But, you can't keep a good crafter down, so I called on Izzy for some help. Recently she used some colored tissue paper to make some pretty flowers and she had some extra in her crafting basket. She graciously shared with me. I then applied the color tissue paper to my 1/4 in score tape and then used the half and half stamps to add PTI goodness to the tissue paper with fresh snow ink.

It's a good life!

Color Q

I feel like it has been forever since I was able to play with the colour Q challenge. I finally had some time today. I had to also share Izzy's card that she created with some of the challenge colors as well.

We are totally cat crazy around here after she earned her baby kitten for her birthday, so that is the only one that made it to the card for her LOL! Here is my card

This is the first time for me using a lot of these little cuties. I am loving this set in a major way! I can't wait to create more for Izzy's kids this year with this fun set. LOVE IT!!!!

We are getting ready for church, so I need to scat, have a wonderful weekend!

It's a good life!

Simon Says sparkle and bling

There are certain cards that I crea and then I'm just not quite sure of them. I was thinking halloween and bling for the simon says bling stamp challenge and this is what I came up with.

The colors are Halloweenie and the bling is there, but I just don't know. Suggestions would be welcome for improvement :)

It's a good life!
