Time to Reveal the Mystery!

The Mysterious ladies over at Splitcoaststampers are ready to reveal the images they got from Sweet P (Paola)!

She sent us a sassy little cutie to color up. I made my cards even more of a mystery by using a different fold than I usually do and adding a sleeve. :)

Hmmmmmm, where's the image Sweet P sent?

....inside the gate fold card! :)

the sentiment on the sleeve is from SU! I punched it our with the large scallop circle punch from SU! and added some glittery dots with my Zig Wink of Stella marker. I love dewdrops.....added a few of those on either side of the sentiment piece.

here's a close up of the image

I colored my image with Spectrum markers and used a Zig Wink of Stella marker for the little silver polka dots. I also added a few touches with my Gelly roll white gel pen.

I hope whomever receives my cards likes what I did this round.

Until next time...

Comb-overs, Stubble and Recliners....Ahhhhh the Holidays!

Hi everybody!

It's time once again for the Dueling Darlings to create! Our challenge this month is very masculine. The Dazzlers hostess, Darlene, sent us a great "man's" card kit.

Here's what I made with it:

worn out, very loved recliners, stains on clothes, facial stubble, comb-overs and football......

Yep, I know it's the Holidays! LOL

My father in law sports a nice come-over but usually wears a hat. But, during the holidays, no hat, we get to see it in all it's glory.

My Dad's favorite place in the house is his worn out recliner with a bag of lay's potato chips beside him. After eating a huge Thanksgiving meal, he's usually asleep, *giggle*

My husband loves to let the facial hair grow, usually on the weekends while watching lots and lots of football.

So, I made my image a combination of all the guys in my life. LOL

Thanks Darlene for a cute kit! I can't wait to see what my Sistah' Dazzlers made and my friend/enemies (hee hee), the Divas made.

Be sure to check out their blogs listed in my left sidebar.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

Let's Trim the Tree!

Okay, so I'm not talking about this year....yet.....

I'm still working with 2009 pictures in my scrapping. LOL Oh my!

Here's a layout I finished today:

I used the Simple Stories December Documented collection along with some SU! tools and card stock.

I also love using Mister Huey's sprays :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Here's the creative process video I made:

Pop Dots and Polka Dots!

Hi!

Here is my creation for the Twisted Tuesdays Challenge posted today.

You have 2 weeks to play along. I hope to see you there!

We want to see something popped up on your creation and let's see a few polka dots too!

I popped up my Merry Christmas cut out. This is from the Simple Stories line "December Documented".

I had this paper from Simple Stories sitting on my desk for scrap pages I am doing and decided to use a piece to make my card. So, this qualifies for the
Shopping Our Stash Challenge #127 ~ Use Something Already on Your Desk

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Until next time...
