Hootie Pie Christmas

Hello everyone. I assume by now, you may have thought that I had given up my mojo challenge. Actually, I was very busy with other commitments and did not have time to get into my craft room. I really did miss it. Well I think that I am back into the groove but with the holidays fast approaching, I will need to divert my attention to getting ready. So my posts may be a bit, hit and miss but, I hope that you will stop by to see if I have anything new.

I like to blog hop and see all the amazing cards that everyone makes... so many talented people. One thing that I noticed are the wonderful background papers that so many use. So I decide to take the plunge and order me some. They came and I am in Heaven..... now I have to decide which one to use first - LOL.

Today I have a Christmas card (you will be seeing A LOT of these) and followed the Friday Sketchers 79 challenge. I just love this cute owl from Pink Cat Studio, called Hootie Pie. I added white Flower Soft on the hat to give it dimension and a little shimmer. I also put glitter on the branches and little snowflakes - it is hard to see it. Naturally 'after' I had it put together, I wanted to add another layer on my flower but it was too late.

Hope you like it, let me know what you think?

Billy Staying Warm & more blog candies

Happy Friday everyone. I have a busy weekend planned, but they always are. I hope I can squeeze in some stamping time. I do hope the rain will stop for a couple days for our lawn is getting more yellow with all the leaves dropping and I just have not felt like getting out in the rain to tackle the job.

I was trying to complete a card for Friday Sketchers but did not get it done in time for I have been fighting headaches. I finally finished it this morning and like how it turned out - it looks better in person than the photo. Since it is all glittery, I am including it in two other challenges, Allsorts Challenge and Cute Card Thursday - Glitter me silly. The snowflake is a free graphic that I enlarged, cut out and added glitter so that it sparkles. I love this color combo, using papers from DCWV and the image is Billy Hot Cocoa from Pink Cat Studio. They have a bunch of cute digi stamps. I used liquid applique on his marshmellows so that they puff up and look real. I finished it off with some rhinestones for some added glitz.

I love to know what you think by adding a comment.

Lily Hot Cocoa in Yellow

Hard to believe that we are already have way through this week - where does the time go?

Today, I have a card for this weeks A Spoon Full of Sugar sketch 76 challenge. I decided to use a new digi image from Pink Cat Studio, she is called Lily Hot Cocoa. I used liquid applique on all of her white fuzzy areas and the marshmellows. I really like that stuff.... I layered up punched and Prima flowers to make my flower. I also used a Spellbinder Fluer De Lis and Scalloped Circle that is layered behind Lily. I Cuttlebugged some white CS for some additional texture.


Hope you like her, she was fun to make. I did struggle with finding the right combination of papers, I am thinking that I need 'more' new papers, what you do you think??

Supplies:
CS - DCWV & SU
DP - DCWV
Stamps - Lily Hot Cocoa Digi Stamp from Pink Cat Studio & Happy Birthday from Dream Impressions
Punches - Fiskars & Martha Stewart
Others: Cuttlebug, Spellbinder dies, Prima flowers, brad, liquid applique & Prismacolor markers

Betty Pie Monochromatic

Happy Friday to everyone. Hard to believe another week has passed, it went by so quickly. Today, my daughter is dropping off their two dogs for us to 'dog sit' for the weekend. It will be a crazy time around here with three dogs in our small home, along with our two cats who have NOT met them yet. I am sure at least one of them will stay under the bed most of the time.

Well today, I have a monochromatic card for last weeks Friday Sketchers challenge. I was not able to complete it in time. I used all coordinating papers from Stampin Up and to dress it up, I decided to make some flowers and added a charm for that special touch. I used another digi stamp from Pink Cat Studio, I think they are so cute.


Let me know what you think and have a great weekend.

CS - CTMH
DP - SU
Image - Betty Baking Pie from Pink Cat Studio
Punches - EK Success, All Night Media, Cutting Edge, Martha Stewart
