Quick Poinsettia

Morning. Dreary weather outside sure does make it easy to sit inside for the weekend. I might as well enjoy it because this was our last free weekend again for awhile. Basketball starts up this week, the sports program needs to get going and sprinklers is just about done for Boosters. Oh the joys of being busy.  ;-)  Wouldn't have it any other way though. 

Since it is dreary outside I was able to get into the stamp room for a bit and color. I thought I would play in the Portion Control challenge over on the PP Blog with this one. Stamped my Poinsettia in the two corners and colors with Copic markers. Added some designer paper to the base on the left and then added my image panel. 

A few sequins and yes there is 4 instead of my traditional 3 because one dropped with glue on it and well it had to stay then. Can you tell which one that was? ha ha  Oh well... just more bling I guess. Some sparkles and voila! Hope you have a great day! 

Season's Tweetings

Good morning. I don't know about you but I am amazed it is already two weeks until Thanksgiving. My word the days are going by too quickly it seems. Hopefully the weather holds up for those that are travelling this coming holiday. Well I have a Christmas card for you today not a fall one. However I did post a fall one earlier this week or at least fall feeling. hee hee  Don't worry a fall project is coming just before thanksgiving. It is a gift so I don't want to post it before I give it to her.  :-) On to today's creation.... 

These sweet little birdies are from Tweet Tidings. Are they not the cutest little chicks? My color choice was again from the designer paper I got a few days back called Birds and Berries. This pack is just awesome for color ideas.
 Stamped part of the images onto my die cut square panels (which fits this months Power and Spark Portion Control) and then colored with Copic markers. Added a layer of embossed dots to the brown center panel. The sentiment is stamped and then a button and silver cord added to the corner. Added pearls and some sparkle to finish it off. Voila!

Barley Birthday

How about a little fall feeling card or at least fall colors? I get carried away with Christmas cards at this time and forget that there is other days to create for. haha The Hops & Barley new image was perfect for the occasion. The sentiments in this digi are perfect. 

The green base is textured with a chicken wire embossing folders. Then a layer of plaid paper beneath the image panel. All die cut using stitched rectangles dies. Some old CTMH hardware for the corner and voila a fall feeling card.  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Forest Finds at Power Poppy

Good chilly morning. I don't know about where you are but it is a really cold temp here and we have snow on the horizon for this afternoon. I think winter is officially here for us. In fact that is what inspired my color combination for this card today. Well that and the boys play off game Friday night was a whoppin 38 degrees outside. OH MY COLD!  And a sad note, we lost. It was a really really good game and they fought hard but in the end lost. We have a week reprieve and then off to the races with basketball. However I think this loss Friday night might carry some good news for the team we play first in basketball, so watch out. hee hee 

Anyways... Power Poppy has a new digi release today called Forest Finds. Oh what a treat this is. Marcy sure has drawn up a beauty for you with this one. Check out the PP blog for details on what her inspiration was behind this fun new digi. 

I had some happy mail come in this week and some of that was the awesome new Christmas paper called Birds and Berries from Wild Rose Studios. Oh the colors and designs in this pack are beautiful and inspiring for colors. That was in part some of the color choices I made for this as well. Only used 3 Copic markers on this C01, B11 and B13. Not sure if you wanted to know that but I just love how this turned out. I used some silver sparkly ribbon and sequins as accents along with a hint of sparkle. Voila!

Little blue house

Happy Friday! Today I have a creation using one of the new Christmas stamps we released recently. But first let me share with you the Power and Spark Challenge this month. Our host is Miss Cindy with Portion Control theme. Hee hee  

How fun is that? Be sure to link up your creations over on the PP Blog for your chance to win! 

You can see from my creation that I did not do the challenge today, but I will get to it I promise. Right now I wanted to make sure to color up this darling little village called Glitter House Village. I was going for the blue and white theme as I did not do that with a release sample. Gasp! I know you noticed as a few mentioned it to me. ha ha  Well I just thought one release without it would be a good idea. Anyways... I used several blues in the Copic family to color this. Then layered onto some cardstock. Some snowflake textures to the white base layer and wrapped crochet ribbon and ribbon around the base layer. Some sparkle and voila!

November Calendar Page

This is my calendar page for November and only one more month to go. I had fun doing these and I know that the person who I gave them to liked them. This is using the image So Grateful that is colored with Copic markers. A few enamel dots and some scrap designer paper to the bottom. Voila! 

November chill

Well today is the first and that means the November Dirty Dozen Christmas challenge is posted on SCS. This months challenge is all about Bbbrrr.... Lots of options for this months theme. Hope you can play along with us this month. 

This is a retired Whiff of Joy stamp that I am using today. The papers were my color inspiration and just a few layers of cardstock die cut in Spellbinders shapes. A snowflake die with some sparkle added to the top. A button with some silver cord to tie off my sentiment circle. Voila!
