Sunday card

Hello and happy Sunday!
I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend! I sure am :) Sitting here enjoying movies with my DH.
I'm still working on some of my Christmas card (I know, I'm so bad). Here is another one for my stash and I made is using free digi from Birds Blog and I'm entering into the challenges there as well for a chance to win ribbon!!! (you can never have too much ribbon, right?)
I also used a new (for me) technique of folding a card. Here is what I made: and here is the look from the side to see how it's cut/folded and stands on its own.


Here is the look from the top... I also tried to take a picture from different angles to see the sparkle, but unfortunately it's still kinda hard to see . I promise, it's sparkly :)

Thank you for stopping by, enjoy your Sunday!

Princess and a frog...

I can't wait for for Disney's new "Princess and a frog" movie to come out. I think it's going to be a totally new interpretation of the story.
How interesting that Sassy Studio Designs has a cool challenge to celebrate the premier :)
I'm going to try my luck in this challenge as well. Here is my card:

I found this image online (for free) and used paper piecing for princess's dress. Scalloped edge by spellbinders and whole lot of glitter for sparle (unfortunately it's hard to see it on the picture)
Here is the look inside:

for those of us who don't own copic markers it's very difficult to color images :) But I tried to combine several different green markers and glitter pens.
And here is how it looks standing on its own.
Hope you like it :) I plan to give it to my hubby for our anniversary :) he-he-he

JLO challenge #5

Today I'm going to participate in Jessica Lynn Originals challenge. The card should be made using this specific layout and it should be for any winter holiday...

You get an extra entry for using one of Jessica Lynn Originals stamps. I totally love this little Brentwood owl, so wining $20 gift certificate to buy more of Brentwood sounds awesome to me :)

Here is my card:Yes, my little Brentwood has a Christmas sweater on :) Then I thought something was missing, so I added snowflakes and glitter (around the word, snowflakes and all around Brentwood's border). I also decided to use "Congrats" instead of a specific holiday, that way it can be used for any winter holiday.

Here is the close up on Brentwood. And since it's a winter card, I thought I would use snow (instead of grass) under his feet.

Thank you for stopping by.

Challenge JUGS7 Birthday card

Hello and Happy Sunday!
hope you guys are enjoying your weekend! I sure am :) Early this morning I participated in a blog hop for Sassy Studio Designs (I know, I am obsessed with their images! But I can't help it!!), had lunch with my hubby's parents and now enjoying some movies with my dear hubby.
I have never participated in Just Us Girls challenges (you can visit them at: http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/11/just-us-girls-week-7-technique.html), but it all looks so interesting, so I thought I would give it a try. This week's challenge is to use Dry Embossing (brass stencils and light box, cuttlebug, folders and nesties), but it also has a twist- to make a project for a Birthday!
So here is my attempt:
I used "Happy Birthday" Cuttlebug folder. I drew a dress freehand, then cut it out using designer paper and folded the skirt to add more dimension. And of course added glitter :)
Here is my dress:

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Scrapbook card

Happy Sunday!
Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! I am :) We're doing a bath remodeling project on our half bath, so staying pretty busy :)

But I do have one card to share. It's kind of scrapbook/card :) My hubby and I love to visit our local zoo, so I wanted to make a card using pictures from our zoo map. So I cut out some pictures and layered them on different color card stock and then used grass designer paper for the background. Cut out letters using my wonderful cuttlebug and then added some glitter for sparkle :)

Here it is:

Thank you for dropping by! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!!

My first paper piecing project...

Hello!

I'm so excited to share my first attempt at paper piecing :)

Last week I was so very lucky to win a new digital image from the Sassy Studio Designs. It is a new wonderful sassy Thanksgiving image. And they are also hosting a challenge for paper piecing. Sooooooooooo I thought I would give it a try.

So here is my card....

The paper I used was actually an ad from the magazine :) But I like it so much, I cut it out (I like the look of fabric and sequences).

Here is the closer look:

Thanks for dropping by! Happy crafting! :)
