This Weeks Christmas Card - MFT BB Cool Days

For this weeks Christmas card -
almost didn't get done -
but .... I pulled it out just under the wire.

I used the MFT - BB Cool Days

Here is my Card ....

 I had this cute little polar bear coloured already -
so I just needed to find co-ordinating paper,
then I stamped the ice chunk and the sign.

 I used the snow embossing powder on the top of the ice,
and the snow section of the sign.
I used glitter embossing powder on the face
of the ice & the face of the sign.

I also added glitter powder tot the snowflakes
inside of the card as well.

That's it, my quick Christmas card.

I started with me new stamp set!! & a few of my other sets!

  

Here are a few cards I came up with:

  I always colour more images than I need!

then I can play around with the look of the cards,

Here is the one I like the best.

I layered black under the chickies - 

I like the shadow effect.

Here is card two, 

more of a muted pastel.

and card three, it was just fun.

All of the cards are the same on the inside,

just different colours.

 Here are a few process photos.

recently when on other blogs, 

I really enjoy the process shots so I am going to start 

to add more of them for those who like them as well.

Thanks for stopping by to see my cards-

Weekly Christmas Card

This week I used a stamp set I haven't used yet - 

MFT BB happy Hedgehogs

I inked the sky with my homemade template

and then I used mt snow pen and added some banks.

 I think I am going to get alot of use out of this set -

I love how they colour up!

... of course I added dimension!

and here is the inside - I really liked this sentiment for the image

 - but it just didn't fit nicely on the outside.

Thanks for stopping in - 

have a great weekend!

Simple Stories - We are Family Layout

I truly love the Spring & Summer months,

not just for the weather but because those

are the months when all of my family are together.

When Simple Stories came out with this line

I needed to get alot of it.

I have completed a mini album & 

now this fantastic layout of the kids.

 The kids are in Front of the old

Port Arthur Collegiate Institute ( P.A.C.I.)

This was a highschool ans is now a part of the 

Lakehead University Campus.  It is a historical building so 

it will always be here.

Thanks for stopping by to see my layout.

Have a creative day.

Summer Days Layout - Simple Stories

As much as I love to make cards - 

my first creative passion has always been layouts.

One snowy day last week I sat all afternoon

& made layouts.  Here is one.

I used Simple Stories Summer Days 

 

 This is a park close to our house.

It is beautiful & can be very warm from the dark rocks or 

very cold from the swift flowing river.

 I love the simple colours and design of this line.

I also have the ephemera pack.

I really like these pieces, 

it makes finishing a layout so easily. 

 I have always likes enamel dots.

They add just that right pop of colour 

& interest to layouts.

Thanks for stopping by to see my nice sunny layout!

Christmas card for the week

Happy Friday all - 

I am back with my Christmas card for the week - 

It is pretty plain but it is done - non the less!!

I still have the Sketch N Scrap sketch on 

my desk, I think it subliminally was in my brain as 

the card looks more along the lines of the sketch

& less on what I was planning on making...

Again it is complete & in the done pile!!

Here is thier sketch 

and you can play along with them HERE

Here is my card

i did have teh flag going all the way across the bottom

 just like the sketch but it just didn't soot it, 

so I gave it a little snip & tada ...

Thanks for popping by - Have a great weekend!!

MFT Colour Challenge

I am back to share a colour challenge from MFT card Challenges

You can play along HERE 

They have new sketched and colour challenges 

for you play along with,

a gift certificate from MFT!!!!

here is the colour swatch for this week :

I am going to stay with my son's billet family for a few days - 

so I wanted to make a card - here is what I came up with.

 It has been along time since I made a shaker card & 

I had so much fun - Only problem was I added finer glitter 

when filling the shake - DO NOT do this - 

I worled so hard on my background and you can barely see it!!

In the shaker i added 3 coloured shells,

 6 pink sequence & 6 blue sequence & 

fine glitter - ughhh.

You can see a bit of the long green seaweed, 

 the pink enmity & a school of fish if you look closely.

Here is my cute mermaid.

I had stickles on her before I added the glitter to the shaker.  

I little to much glitter altogether??

The ink blue ocean was my blue for the challenge - now she is.

Her hair is the yellow.

Here are my cute clown fish & sea turtle,

they make up my orange & green for the challenge.

Here is a close up of my sentiment.

It is from another set of stamps, 

but it works perfectly  for what I need. 

Thanks for stopping by - 

please feel free to leave a comment, 

they are always appreciated.

MFT Space Explorer Card for Challenge

Hello all - well I have a cute card to load 

for the MFT Card Sketch Challenge - 

You can find their sketched and play along here :

MFT Card Challenges

Here is the Sketch for this week 

This week I used the MFT BB Space Explorer  Stamp set.

I chose this set because as I was flipping through 

my sets with the sketch in mind - the planets instantly became

the circle embellishments!

Here is my card for the challenge

I really like the way this turned out - 

The astronaut has grey wink of Stella on his suit, 

just to jazz him up as this will be a card for my son.

His face shield is crystal effects for it super shinny.

I tried to take a photo with a bit of glare so you could see it.

The photo below really shows this.

He also has some on his chest patch.

The planets all have a little wink of stella as well,

just enough to make them a little more interesting. 

It doesn't stand out a ton but you can see it in the moon craters above.

If you have seen my cards before you know 

I break out the pop dots and get 

some serious elevation on some items.

I love the feel they give the card.

 The background I inked with my distress inks,

 Peacock Feather, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, 

Blueprint Sketch & Chipped Sapphire.

Once I had a blended background, I misted it with

the Mini pulverizader spray bottle.

It has a nice fine mist.

The little window on the rocket is also 

crystal effects.  I love the cord that 

supplies the astronaut oxygen and ties 

him to the shim.

I twisted it  - so it strands up a bit.

Well that's my card for today!! 

Thanks for stopping by!
