Cocoa Loves Football!

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a joyous Christmas holiday.  My children and I had a great time spending time together and with friends.  My boys were certainly very excited to receive a couple of gifts that showed their love for their favorite football teams.  Their excitement over their gifts inspired me to make this card....

This is Cocoa Loves Football and so do my boys!  I paired it with Sport Sentiments, although the circle sentiment is not a Sweet n Sassy image, but it worked well.  I kept this card very simple which makes it friendly for our toddler friends.

I also used a great sketch from Paper Craft Planet to create this card (sk122510) for the layout.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Brown (Michaels)
Paper:  Little Polka Dots (Deja Views)
Images:  Cocoa Loves Football (SNSS), Sports Sentiments (SNSS), All Around Phrases (LSS)
Copics:  E30, E34, E37, E57, RV000, RV10
Prismacolor:  Cherry
Tools:  Cuttlebug, Traffic Jam embossing folder, corner rounder

Don't forget that all Christmas stamps are on sale until January 1st - 30% off!!  And then on January 1st Korin will be releasing some wonderful new stamps... I cannot wait to show them to you.

This is what happens when...

....I decide to have a play-date with the companies I design for.

Hello!  I hope you're all doing well and your Christmas plans are well in hand.  The presents are wrapped, the tree is up and I think we're actually ready for Christmas here.

I have a new friend that I met the day I interviewed for my job.  She and I were destined to meet because it turns out she lives 7 minutes from my apartment and we got put on the same schedule so we carpool.  She is such a great friend, that I felt I needed to do something for her.  We talk about a lot of things on the way to work and one of the frequent topics is recipes.

With that said, I created E a paperbag cookbook and I incorporated some adorable digis from the companies I design for.  My plan was to share page by page everyday this week - but it didn't quite work out that way.

So up first is Deedee's Digis....

Here's the cover - these digis are from the very sweet set Lovin' from my Oven.  Doesn't she remind you of Aunt Bee?

The inside two pages also featuring an image from Lovin' from my Oven.

Up next is Cocoa Loves Football from Sweet n Sassy....

I decided it would probably be a good idea to include a couple of football recipes to include her husband who was a professional football player.

Here's a close-up of Cocoa.  Isn't he awesome?!

And finally, StampFairy had to join the fun, too.  This sweet image is part of the Ginger Babies collection.

This little guy is actually the pull tab, because this recipe slips inside one of the pockets that is naturally created when using paper bags to create a book.

Such a sweet face!

Well, I probably won't be posting the rest of the week so let me wish you a very Merry Christmas!  I do hope that among all the wrappings, ribbons and cookies that the true meaning of Christmas touches your hearts and homes.

Bee Crafty #44 - Rough Around the Edges

Good Morning!  This fortnight's challenge over at Bee Crafty is called Rough Around the Edges... in other words, distress your edges.  This is actually a real challenge for me, distressing is not something I'm very good at.  So with the help from a great sketch from Friday Sketchers and some awesome digi paper, my card is really kinda cute.

I used Whimsical Girl Heart Garden which is a really sweet image.  And as I said yesterday, although I am in the midst of Christmas preparations, I need a break from Christmas cards, so this Spring-y card was a great diversion.

I love these colors, too!  I found a great digi set of papers called Just the Girls by Becky Kress available at A Cherry on Top.  I really scored on this - regularly over $15 worth of digi paper for 6 digi paper packs, I got this for like $3!!  Printed out on Whisper White card stock, the colors are vibrant and gorgeous!

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Whisper White (SU!)
Paper:  Just the Girls Lola (ACOT)
Copics:  E00, E02, E29, E33, E37, E57, G02, RV06, YR20, YR23
Tools:  Oval punch, Tag punch (SU!)

I hope you join us at Bee Crafty, you have two weeks which is plenty of time to even wait to see if Santa brings you some new crafting tools to play with.  Thank you so much for stopping by.

StampFairy Friday

Good Morning!  It's Friday - whoo-hoo!!  And there's only 8 shopping days left until Christmas.  Are you ready?  I am almost ready and I promised the kids we'd put the Christmas tree up this weekend.  I have no idea where we'll get it to fit, but we'll manage, I am sure.

I have to admit that I was getting  a bit, plainly put, tired of Christmas cards.  I love Christmas just as much as the next guy, but it seems I have just been creating Christmas cards lately, that I just needed a little break.  So I created this card with the Lenny Thank You image from StampFairy.  I was inspired by the great sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges.

Isn't he cute?  I really love the rich colors of this new mat stack that I got, too.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Chocolate Chip (SU!)
Paper:  Latte Matstack (DCWV)
Copics:  B97, C10, E33, E37, E53, V93, V95
Embellishments:  lavendar satin ribbon (Offray)

This card was really easy to make and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles - but it turned out quite nice.  I hope you like it.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  Be sure to head on over to StampFairy to see the newest release, too.  Happy Friday!

Beauty of the Season

Good Morning!  I hope everyone's week is going well.  I have another card to share with you featuring another set from Deedee's Digis.  I love this beautiful poinsettia set, it's called Beauty of the Season.

This card was a bit of challenge to make but I believe the final results are great.  The first layer was the trickiest to get the corner poinsettia elements to fit the way I did, but with a bit of patience, trial and error and tweaking, I got it to work.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Real Red (SU!)
Copics:  R27, R29, Y17, YG63, YG67
Tools:  Circle cutter (CM), Scallop Nesties (Spellbinders)
Embellishments:  green satin ribbon (Offray)

There is still time to join us for the Happy Monday challenge over at Crafting with Deedee's Digis - this week's challenge is to create a something using Burgundy and Gold - my card doesn't fit the challenge, but I just thought you'd like to know and here's another piece of news.... all Christmas and New Year's digis are on sale for just $1.  Now that's a great gift to give yourself and be nice and friendly to your wallet.

Thank you for stopping by!

Here's my card using an adorable image from StampFairy.  This is Donny Christmas Angel (5) and he's rejoicing the Season.

Visions of all thing sweet....

Good morning everyone!  I have to post this super quick - I forgot to set it for auto-post last night so I have to post quickly and then get busy getting ready for work.

I posted this card yesterday on Crafting with Deedee's Digis and I really love this image.  I used Gingerbread Holiday stamp set and am so pleased with this card....

One year my Mom decided she and the kids were going to make gingerbread houses for other grandmother and a neighbor.  My kids were still pretty little so you can only imagine how well these houses were put together - but in our eyes, they were magnificent!  This memory was triggered when I saw Deedee's Gingerbread Holidays set for the first time.  I colored this with every color of "icing" I could think of. And if you look close, you can see that I added coarse glitter to the gumdrops along the eaves so that they looked like real gumdrops.

And since every home is decorated on the inside, this one is too. I carried the the candy cane theme to the inside and added a simple and very sweet sentiment (also included in the set) to finish it off.


Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Chocolate Chip, Real Red (SU!)
Paper:  Christmas Stack (DCWV)
Copics:  E33, E34, E37, G00, G02, R02, R27, R29, RV000, RV02, RV06, RV10, Y15, YG00, YG03
Tools:  Cuttlebug, Candy Cane embossing folder, 1 1/4", 1 3/8" circle punches, scallop punch (SU!)
Embellishments:  coarse glitter (Martha Stewart)

I do hope you like my card and that it inspires you to build and share Holiday memories.  Have a super sweet day!

Chilly Monday

Good Morning everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  Ours was pretty busy, but all in all, pretty good.  It's chilly here in sunny Sanford, FL - lows are dipping into the 30s, highs are in the low 60s and I guess it'll be like that for the whole week.  I am just happy the weather was beautiful for the Christmas parade this past Saturday.

So here's my card share for today - this features another new image from Sweet n Sassy Stamps called Snowflake Bear.  He's so cute with the snowflakes swirling about his head.

I did use a really great sketch from Papercraft Planet (#120410), I've never played along with their sketch challenges, so this was fun and it's a great sketch!  Really easy to work with.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Whisper White
Paper:  Wintry Mix digi paper (ACOT)
Copics:  B00, B000, B02, B05, E29, E33, R11, R27

This was a lot of fun to put together!  So I wish you a very happy Monday, thank you so much for stopping by.

Winter at Bee Crafty

Good Morning everyone!!  This fortnight's theme over at Bee Crafty is Winter.  How fitting is this?  I've heard that some of our friends are digging out of anywhere between 14" to 36" inches of snow in upstate New York and here in sunny Florida, temps are dipping down to the 30s for the lows.  I actually saw frost on the grass on my way to work yesterday.  Brendan said yesterday as he was heading out to catch the bus, "I hate being cold, that's why we moved here.... and its cold!"  LOL

Alright so this week's theme is to create a winter card - so the obvious is to pick an image that is all about snow, snowflakes, snowmen - that makes it pretty simple, right?  Well, I decided to challenge myself a little further and see if I could create a winter card out of an image that is probably more fitting for Spring/Summer.

So here is Whimsical Girl all dressed in her winter gear holding some flowers.  I embossed the image with the Swiss Dots embossing folder after I colored the image to create the snow falling down.  I highlighted some of the snow that is falling on her with a white gel pen.  I did flatten out the embossing on her face so she didn't look like she had mumps and I really could've flattened other dots randomly so that the snow didn't look so uniform, but I still love how this looks!

Then I set out to find the perfect sentiment.  I chose a quote by J.M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan.  It says "God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December."

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Taken with Teal, Real Red (SU!)
Paper:  Winterime (Echo Park)
Copics:  B00, B000, BG05, BG09, E00, E02, E29, E33, R11, R27, R29
Tools:  Scallop Square Nesties (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug, Swiss Dots embossing folder, white gel pen, Scallop Border punch (SU!)
Embellishments:  brads (Basic Grey), brown grosgrain ribbon (Offray)

By the way, a word about the layout of the card.  I used a Mojo Monday sketch that is from their 2009 pdf sketch booklet.  I love this and will be referring to it often.

Now head on over to Bee Crafty to play along with us.  And you have got to see Joni's card - it is totally fabulous!  No surprise there, right?  Also, leave a little love for our sweet Deanne who is quite under the weather.  Have a fabulous weekend.... we're off to prepare for the Christmas parade that Hollyanne's dance school is in.

Santa's Helper Cocoa

I did create this card using the wonderful sketch from Crafts 4 Eternity (that I am barely getting submitted in time) with the additional challenge to have a star somewhere on the card.

My card features the adorable Santa's Helper Cocoa stamp set that you can find here in the store.  I also used the yummy papers from Echo Park that can also be found in the store
.

StampFairy Friday

Good Morning!  Hip-hip-hooray, it's FRIDAY!!  I am so excited that the weekend is almost here.  I have just been waiting and waiting for today to show you this card.  You all know how I feel about snowmen.  And if you don't, well, let me tell me you.... I love love lovey them sooo much!

This card features one of the adorable Joey Snowman (6) images from StampFairy.

My monthly card traders group issued a challenge we called 'hot tissue.'  Many have done this technique with pretty napkins, but this time it was supposed to be with pretty tissue paper.  I didn't have any in my stash, but I did have white, so I made it pretty with my stamps.  Then you crumple it up, smooth it out and iron it onto a piece of cardstock with a sheet of plastic wrap between the tissue and card stock.

Supplies:
Card stock:  Neenah Classic Crest, Brocade Blue, Night of Navy (SU!), White (JoAnns)
Stamps/Ink:  Stick Together (TSG), Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Brocade Blue, Bordering Blue

I hope you enjoy my card and that you can see why I was so excited to share it with you.  I think it's really cute!  Be sure to check out what the rest of team made to share with you, too, over at StampFairy World.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #70

Good Morning Everyone!  I have a really fun and easy sketch this week on my Tuesday Morning Sketches blog.  I think you'll enjoy this one.  Our sponsor this week is Pixie Petals, a lovely little store dedicated to handmade flowers and ribbons.

I have to say that this picture does not do this card justice, it is simply gorgeous in real life... even if I do say so myself.  I had wanted Boho Blossoms from My Favorite Things ever since it's release.  I finally got it!  I scored on the BST thread on Splitcoast Stampers.  And then it went into a box.  Bad me!  So I pulled it out this weekend to play with it and I am so pleased with the results.

The lovely flowers and ribbons that were supplied by Pixie Petals set the color pallette and I let me tell you, I am lovin' this!  The gauzy ribbon is so yummy.

Supplies:
Card stock: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Afternoon Plaid Paper (My Minds Eye)
Stamps/Ink: Boho Blossoms (MFT), Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Copics: YR20, YR61
Tools: Coluzzle circle
Embellishments: Ribbons, Flowers (Pixie Petals), Prima Flowers, Pearls (Recollections)

Happy Monday Challenge...

Good Morning!  Its Monday so that means a new Happy Monday challenge on Crafting with Deedee's Digis.  This week Deedee has a really fun sketch to work with.  I flipped it to accomodate the image I chose this week which is called A Light into the World.

I don't think I did this gorgeous candle justice, not like Deedee did, but I think my Mom will like it.  Every year I hurt myself over planning my Christmas cards.  I never manage to make them but I do make cards for my blog and then give them away.  This year, they'll be the Christmas cards in the mail.  I found a really pretty scrap of Basic Grey paper and it was just enough for the card front.

Here's the inside of the card where I used one of the two sentiments that comes in this set.  I also pulled out some old punches to continue the holly theme.

Supplies:
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Real Red (SU!)

Paper: Fruitcake (Basic Grey)
Copics: E30, R02, R27, R29, Y11, Y15, Y17, Y28, YG63, YG67, YR16
Tools: Oval cutters (CM), Scallop Oval Nesties (Spellbinder), holly leaf punch, 1/4" circle punch
Embellishments: olive satin ribbon (Offray)

I hope you like my card and that'll you'll join in the challenge.  They're so fun!  You are required to use a Deedee's Digis image to participate but her images are so sweet and so affordable - treat yourself today and play along!  Thank you for stopping by!
